We had a gathering of coworkers for a summer get-together today at this park, and it was wonderful…read more The place is beautiful, with plenty of beach area to set up a tent, spread out lawn chairs, and they also have grills around for people to cook meals. The beach area is enclosed into a square, guarded by at least three lifeguards. There are plenty of parking spaces, a food concession and restrooms in the main building and plenty of restrooms and showers behind this front building. The weather cooperated and it was perfect. ​

Lovely state park with clean facilities. Admission is…read morecurrently 9 dollars (if you have a NY state empire pass, this covers the admission fee) There is a snack shack on site but it was closed when we visited. As we visited on a holiday it was very busy, but we arrived early and had no trouble finding parking. The park had staff on hand to direct traffic and assist in finding a spot.

Lovely beach at the end of Sodus Point, the park has a large parking lot, a big covered picnic…read moregazebo and a playground. A nice walk on the pier out to the lighthouse though an awful lot of small flying insects. Of course, the lighthouse is accessible from here too. These two lighthouses protect Sodus Bay, the largest natural harbor on Lake Ontario. This light was first established in 1858, the new lighthouse was replaced in 1938 with this 51 foot tall structure. The view over Lake Ontario is fabulous, especially this early in the morning. At 7:00 am, I had the park to myself. Highly recommend. [Review 1531 of 2024 - 447 in New York - 22554 overall]

Visited Sodus Point for the first time yesterday. It was the last Friday in May so it was quiet. I…read morewas on a mini sabbatical and enjoyed the beach solo. The beach is very clean. There is swimming when lifeguards are on duty. You feel like you're at the ocean when sitting on a Lake Ontario beach. The lighthouse view is stunning. There are bathrooms, a food stand, and a playground area. There is also a covered space with picnic tables. It's a perfect spot for a family. Dogs are allowed on a leash so we will be able to bring out pooch! There is plenty of parking. The houses along the street to the beach are adorable! There's a quaint little village with a few restaurants and shops. We will be back this summer!

Great experience. The campground was quiet. Everyone was respectful. The bathrooms and shows were…read moreclean. The beach area on the lake was solid. Very close - maybe 5-7 min drive - to the Old Forge hamlet. Can't do much better for $22.

The best small state park. The staff are friendly and ready to accommodate. The camp sites are big…read more The lake is awesome. I try to reserve a site here every summer. This is challenging because of the small size and limited sites. I try at least six months in advance for a water site. The water sites are hard to get. I will stay at any of them they are all wonderful. The lake is very refreshing and the beach is fun. There is a huge rock in the middle of the lake that my family takes pictures at. It is quit a wonderful view. I love coming here to camp. All the campers are always friendly and polite. I have talked with many and they all think this campground is a hidden gem.

This place is not dog friendly. Yes you can take your dog to the small park in the center of town…read morebut the beach area as far as you can see has no dogs allowed signs. This place despite the improvements is so backwards. People like to enjoy taking thier digs on vacation and swimming and walking the beach. They could at least designate a small area to dog beach.I have lived in this area most of my life and their is a saying "the beach is the beach". The backwards mentality has been here a long time.

Absolutely gorgeous little spot for a mini vacation!…read more My boyfriend and I came here for a getaway from the busy non stop Long Island. It's so pretty snd relaxing! From the beach, mini amusement park, restaurants, little shops...it's nice to get away! We really enjoyed our time here spending time on the beach and having some good eats. Lots of good restaurants in the area that we didn't even have time to try them all. Just be mindful that a lot of restaurants are only open for the summer season and they close around the first week in October. Definitely a great mini getaway spot!
