The sites are spaced apart nicely so you don't feel cramped and they had a variety of different sites, some near the lake, some in the open, and my personal favorite, some with lots of trees. All the sites have electric and water and all are close to restrooms. And get this....all sites are only $25 a night!!!! This campground is a must stay!!!! I promise you'll love it!!!! I forgot to mention, they also sell wood and have a convenient store on site with very reasonable prices.

We loved the looks of this campground from the website pictures. It seemed to have everything we…read morewere looking for in a seasonal campsite. So when we pulled up we were definitely not impressed by the construction we saw going on, but figured this was just a temporary thing. You know...adding some campsites and doing some minor updates. NOT. The whole first season was just addition upon addition of digging huge pits and tearing apart old buildings...not a single project ever finished before the next was started. The second year was even worse. In addition to that, our lovely neighbor's site happened to be that of the owners sister...who was allowing her dog to crap all over our site since it was immediately adjacent to hers. Apparently she lived there all year long and so we were welcomed back to camp the third year (after having already complained about the landmines the year prior) to 30+ piles of crap. When we mentioned it to the owners for the second time...Lloyd got extremely offended, arguing with us and telling us the piles weren't even dog crap but from wild animals. Sorry...but we have three dogs and know what dog doo looks like. The whole incident was uncalled for and made us so uncomfortable we pulled our camper out the following weekend. We have better things to do with $1000 then pay for a "shitty" campsite. If you have to stay at this campground...stay clear of the Cabin on the Hill.

The two we walked were nice and shady, 1.2 and.6 miles, but because of the stairs and inclines, it ended up being a vigorous workout.

I visited a couple of weeks ago, back when we had warm-but-not-yet-sweltering weather. This park is…read morea bit of a distance from Syracuse, but worth the drive. It's not too far off from Heritage Hill Brewery, so you can do a two-for and visit both-- however the park is lovely and worth a visit on its own. There's an overlook near the entrance where you can get a glimpse of the waterfall. However, the falls are also within walking distance of the start of the trail. The hill is on a slant and there are steep stairs, so the view may not be accessible for those who have difficulty walking. However, it was so calming just to sit and watch and listening to the waterfall. The day I went, there were others out but the paths didn't feel claustrophobic. I took some time and walked through the woods. The trail I took was relatively short, I think about a half mile total. I appreciated that there was a marker at the start that let you know how long it was. I am by no means a regular hiker (hoping to change that one day!) but this trail wasn't exhausting and was quite serene. This is a great park with a great waterfall and is definitely worth checking out!

When he learned that I had been to over 100 of them but hadn't been to Green Lakes he urged me to check that one off the list pronto. And you know how that goes: when someone tells you how great something is, that place suddenly starts popping up more and more in your social feeds. Well, after seeing it featured on the socials for I Love NY and NYS Parks, I finally made the trip to Central New York outside of Syracuse (wait, I can call Syracuse "Central New York" on here, right? :) ), and I was not disappointed at all. My visit was early on an October Saturday, and lots of runners and walkers were around. And a fair amount of ducks too. A mostly level 2.5-mile loop around Green Lake and another mile-ish loop around practically adjacent Round Lake (which is also a Registered National Landmark) made for a wonderful morning stroll. I was just walking and taking pictures, but clearly this is a spot where runners meet and get in a workout together. The lakes are beautiful, and, yeah, have an emerald-green glow at times. I'm really glad I made the trip there, and will definitely revisit one day.
