Babcock Hollow Campground

This place is a joke. Visitor or seasonal you are better off spending your well earned money elsewhere. They pull you in by being nice and seem accommodating but then turn around and slight you the next chance they get. My children loved this place for all of the family friendly activities. But if you plan to enjoy the new splash pad, make sure you plan to spend extra (seasonal or not). Wonderful little store with firewood, bags of ice, and souvenirs your children will love, for a small fortune. Booked a cabin for 3 nights with my children to spend time with other family members in the park. The cabin was not cleaned upon our arrival. They did comp us a night and stated it was overlooked; however, nothing was brought over to cover the essentials that were supposed to be included that were not replaced due to not being cleaned properly. Now that our seasonal family members chose to leave early and not renew their seasonal contract, my children are no longer welcome back. Sadly, they were looking forward to the Halloween weekend and we prepared with early costumes. Arrangements were made. Then we were informed that we were not welcome back the day before. I will be explaining this situation to my children as it happened, using the familiar names they have come to love, when I have to break it to them that we will not be going. Leaving on good terms means nothing when the children get hurt in the end. For a campground that claims to be family friendly, the truth shines through.

Jellystone Park is a cute and family-friendly RV park nestled beside the water in the Finger Lakes region of New York. Management was friendly and easy to deal with and setting up was a breeze. We were only staying for a night, but got a place by the water. This camp is part of the Yogi Bear Jellystone franchise so expect Yogi Bear driving a train full of kids, etc. They do a good job of keeping the kid activities on one side of the park and the lake and fishing on the other. The mist-shrouded lake is beautiful in the morning. Easy in and out, good park.

I wanted to love this place. It had way to many seasonals that had lots of extras on tiny sites making it look very trailer park-ish. Our site was saturated and a huge mud pit and was very unlevel. I know rain is something that cannot be controlled but us and the dogs couldn’t even enjoy our site and everything and I mean everything inside and outside our camper was covered in mud and still is. I was excited to be on the lake but it was very small and we were disappointed to see no swimming spot on the lake. The bathrooms and public areas were super clean and had good signage. The staff was so so friendly and we really enjoyed the activities that were offered. When booking I was excited to see they had a cafe and tiki bar but was disappointed to find out neither of those were open during the duration of our trip here. Our site was so muddy we decided to not have a fire but probably would not have anyways given the price of $12 per bundle. This place has great potential and I think in time it may live up to that potential. It was a quick stay and I probably won’t come back but appreciate the hospitality.
