Letchworth State Park Campground

This is a big park with a pretty nice campgrouns. The sites aren't huge, but it's nicely laid out. There seems to be a lot to do for the whole family here without leaving the campground. There's a bathroom in every section that seems to be in need of updating, but functional. The playground is huge and there's lots of room for riding your bike around. The rest of the park is huge with a ton of trails and lots to see. Only downside is that the park is so big you really need to drive around to see everything.

The waterfalls and gorge had several overlooks to enjoy if you are not able to hike. The campground is on the opposite end of the park from the falls, so it is a long and pretty drive. We enjoyed hiking along the falls trails. The museum had some interesting history, although we were left wondering how Letchwork made his original money. There were lots of lovely places for picnics.

Suzeas Gluten Free bakery is advertised on the map and located in Mount Morris. The owner is a character, and we loved all the baked goods we purchased there. It was another bonus for us.

Visited Letchworth State park in late July 2023. We stayed in loop 500. 

The park, itself, is great. Not a particularly "wild" experience. The trails are mostly paved, and there are snack bars and toilets located throughout. A road runs along the south rim providing access to the overlooks, waterfalls, nature center, and visitors' center. But the gorge itself is fantastic, and the trails are pleasant. We liked the nature center, though it was a little small. Staff was universally helpful and friendly. 

The campsite wasn't spectacular, but it was solid. The sites are a little close together (you can see your neighbors through the trees), but it was still quiet. They all have the standard fire pit and picnic table. There are central showers for each loop, and we found these to be clean and in good working order.

Really enjoyed our 3 nights of camping at Letchworth.  The camp sites are large and spread out.  Bath houses are modern and clean.  Electric hookups at each site and water spigots spread through out.

We camped in the 700 loop with allows pets.

The camp store was great and even had a separate mini farmer's market with fresh veggies and fresh baked goods.

Lots of good hiking and some great vistas.

Beautiful state park, very lush green from all the rain unfortunately the smoke from the Canadian fires near have made it unhealthy here. especially strenuous outdoor activities  Bathrooms are clean and great showers in the wooden size of nicely spaced and level

The site we were at #402 was kinda uneven and sort of exposed as it was almost at a fork. Even the most balanced piece of land was a sloped a little bit. The site was just 1 spot away from the restroom and about 5m walk to the camp store. Camp store had everything a camper would need although a bit expensive ($9 for firewood). Other than that everything was perfect. Many RVs and trailers so restrooms were mostly empty.

Awesome State Park. Grand Canyon of the east. Miles of hiking trails. Gorges and falls. Numerous picnic areas. Newer bathhouse. Only down side would be the cell service, if needed. I enjoyed being off the grid during our stay. There’s a nature center and a visitor center. Electric/water at most sites. Dump station. Helpful staff.

A peaceful car-camping campground. There seemed to be foliage between each campsite which created some level of privacy for campers. The bathrooms in the 600 loop were nice and clean.

You can see a photo of each campsite here: https://www.campadk.com/campsitephotos/campgrounds/Letchworth/site/629

Our campsite (629) was fine, but there was an electrical box and a standing dead tree in the middle of our site.  I would probably try for a different site next time.

Letchworth Park was beautiful. We did trail #1 and went to the Harvey Swimming Pool (10 minutes away from the campground) - it was great!

I spent 2 nights here with my teen daughter and 2 little dogs in July. Everyone should visit here at some point it really is the Grand Canyon of the East. It is a well run camp site, no cell service but well-stocked camp store. We booked a last min site in front of a bathroom/shower but it was still very sizeable and quiet. Camp staff cleaned facilities regularly, we not in an updated loop but still found the showers hot clean pleasant. lf you want to check your messages you have to drive to one of the entrances or by the pool, the staff will tell you where you can get service.

We stayed in Loop 700.  New bathhouse which was immaculate.  You have your own shower, own bathroom facility.  Spacious and clean.  Each loop has their own bathhouse.  We had electric with a water spigot right at the end of our site. 

Sites were a bit tight to get into, and some not very level.  I could see where if it rains, this campground would be a mudhole.  Lots (and I mean lots) of gnats/mosquitos, but somehow we weren't bitten.  

Those "negatives" are FAR outweighed by what you get at this park.  It's just simply stunning.  The woman who works in the camp store (one of the best ones we've seen at any campground) told us to head to Middle Falls at night because they light it up.  It's just gorgeous. 

We spent the next day traveling to pull overs, checking out the park from top to bottom, eating lunch at Glen Iris Inn, and just sitting in awe of Upper Falls.  It truly is an amazing state park.  

Clean, workers are friendly and helpful.  Again…just be aware of the bugs.

love this place. never super packed and always cleaned up and looking nice!

A must place to visit with, many, many activities and facilities, and then, the views, those are the cherry on top, you won’t be disappointed, but, you may regret no going.

The campground is very clean. Our site wasn’t the greatest (#811) as it was narrow and outside our RV door was a steep drop off making it impossible to use our awning for a seating area. We had 3 days of rain which did add to the issues…the area was muddy so keep that in mind. Power was stable. No water at the site but there are spigots around the loops. The bathrooms are older in this loop but adequate. Cell coverage was great in the morning but by 3pm each day it was saturated somehow.

The park itself is beautiful. Plenty of hiking. I only wish they had a bike lane along the main road. Will definitely go back.

Loved our experience here.

Camp ground very nice with well taken care of rest room. The view just outside of the camp ground is amazing.

The campgrounds are conveniently located inside the Park so easy to get to the amazing falls towards the south as well as the dam in the north. We were in loop 300 which does not allow pets. Decent bathhouses right opposite our site. Our site was a gravel drive with a grassy area containing the picnic table and fire ring. Unfortunately due to rain the day before the grass was extremely muddy which make it hard to get to the fire ring. There was also white a lot of noise from adjacent sites, we could hear everyone's conversations and screaming kids. There was a laundry facility but no dishwashing.

Very nice park and campground just a little muddy and bit expensive ($ 75 for two nights) But the waterfalls and the views make it worth it. Also tried the rafting experience and it was a lot of fun. Would recommend for sure.

Letchworth is absolutely stunning. The views are beautiful, however the scenic areas are at least a 10 minute drive from the campground. The park is massive.

There is a huge variation in site sizes. We lucked out and got a large site with privacy and an area for the kids to run around, however the site directly across from us was little more than the gravel pad and fire pit. Some of the sites are right on top of each other. Great for group camping, not so much if you want any privacy.

Only two out of the 8 loops (200 and 700 loops) have updated bathrooms (single toilet with handheld showers in half of the bathrooms). The others loops have older facilities with three traditional toilet stalls and two showers.

We loved our site but would’ve preferred to stay in a loop with the updated bath houses as we have younger children and a tent trailer.

All sites have electricity. Some loops are pet friendly, some are pet free. The camp store has a good selection of necessities, albeit expensive for discount brands. The pool is 4-5 miles down the road from the camping area.

Would absolutely camp here again.

Letchworth State Park Campground sites are spacious and mostly private. Really quiet and peaceful. Bathrooms were well maintained and very clean. '

The 3 falls are beautiful. Lots of hiking and scenic sites. Museum within the park and lots of history to learn about.

Letchworth State Park is beautiful with so many hiking trails and the beautiful waterfalls that are such a big part of this place. The Glen Iris House is the perfect place to dine outside on the veranda for a decadent treat of delicious food snd atmosphere. The park and campground are clean, the sites fairly well spaced, free showers, and electric hookups. We loved it!

In most states, those without falls like Niagara, this state park would be the pride of the land. With three serious drops in as many miles, the Genesse River winds it’s way through what locals call the “Grand Canyon of the East.” Many states try to make such claims, but this might be the closest any come to actually living up to such. It is stunning! 

Along the river this park gives the motorist the distinct feel that she is on a parkway, not unlike Shenendoah, or Blue Ridge. Every few miles the winding pavement breaks out onto a few of the ridges and valley below, before ducking back into the forest of Western New York.

The campground, which is about 15 miles from the major falls area, offers what many come to expect from state parks. There are a wide variety of campsites, all reservable online, which can accommodate lots of different types of camping, large RV’s, small tents, and everything in between. Most, if not all, campsites offer electrical and water is available close by.

The bathrooms are practically luxurious by most camping standards, with single-use restroom/ showers available at all hours. The camp store offered a few grocery items, along with cold drinks, firewood and ice in addition to laundry facilities. Within a short walk were many hiking trails, an old-school fitness path, and a stellar playground where anyone under 9 years of age should get a great workout. 

But let’s be honest, we’re not coming here for the campground, it’s the rest of the park that makes the drive worth it. So, check it out and get to know this stunning place first hand and be sure to bring a picnic basket.

My husband and I just got our first camping setup (tent). Letchworth was a wonderful first experience together. The campground can be almost 15 miles from the entrance of the park at points, but we just asked someone at the visitors center and found it easily after that. The restrooms are all well kept regardless of being updated or not and the campground as a whole is very quiet. There are very active raccoons and skunks that have been pretty domesticated, so putting away food is very very important. The skunks also are not easily startled. The only downside was a large group of young guys that were being really loud and obnoxious well into quiet hours our last night, but it was nothing my pair of earplugs couldn’t fix. Also probably wouldn’t have even heard them if we were in a camper rather than a tent. Overall, it was exactly what we wanted and needed. We will absolutely be back!

Wandering around the gorge is so beautiful and relaxing the views and sights inside the park are amazing, it's almost like another world at times. Sites were nice, the area we were in was a little too open for our liking, but in a park with this kind of scenery it was fine because we didn't spend a lot of time at the camper. We can't wait to get back and wander done more!

Letchworth State Park is known as the Grand Canyon of the East and is located in Mt. Morris New York. My husband and I visited regularly when we lived near Rochester, NY. The park is stunning and is fit for camping whether you’re in a tent, RV or choosing to rent a gorgeous cabin. There are many walking and hiking trails for adventurers of all types. Make sure you bring your camera as the views are all photo worthy. The camping price is right due to the fact that the park is run by the state. A great place to stay especially in the Summer!!

This park is absolutely breathtaking and is one of my absolute favorite places on the east coast. The camping is all right; it's mixed tent and rv, but the cabins are great and they're a pretty good deal. Many feature heating and are available even in colder months. Camping isn't too expensive and the facilities are well-maintained.

Letchworth SP, the Grand Canyon of the East. No kidding! WOW, trail #1 was the connector trail between lower, middle and upper falls. It parallels the road with lots of overlooks. But still a lovely walk.  There were plenty of other trails elsewhere in the park. This park is rather large, but beautiful. Our campsite was loop 700, #717, in the dog friendly area. Plenty of privacy between campsites, electric plug ins, with potable water accessible every 3 sites .  Beautiful setting. Campstore had plenty of wood. Enough connectivity for texts and calls.

What a beautiful park. Go river rafting! Only drag is the mixed rv and tent sites.

I went to college right near Letchworth State Park so I spent many wonderful weekends there! There is a reason why they call it the Grand Canyon of the East. Not only can you check out the beautiful waterfalls, but there are also many awesome trails, rivers, and caves to check out. When I would camp, we would rent a camp site with our tent but, you could camp with your RV or even rent a cabin. Ive gone every month of the year, but these pictures were from my birthday in January. Letchworth is one of the best parks in New York state and a definite must see!

Letchworth is a huge park with many beautiful views of the river gorge. There’s plenty of hiking trails. We even managed to find a trail with a tiny waterfall and an area for the kids to splash around in the water. We were hoping that the huge pool would be open that is outside the far end of the park but it was closed due to Covid. So, we were pretty bummed over that. Instead we visited an overlook of the dam near by.

So Letchworth State Park is beautiful. It's also tremendous, 18 miles long covering the east and west side of the Geneseo River. There is over 100 miles of trails intersecting the park. The campground itself is made up of loops with only electrical hookups , no water or sewer connections , just water spiquets positioned throughout the loop and 1common bathroom in each loop. There is no wifi in any of the camping areas so if you are dependant on it for any reason this is not the place for you. Only at certain points in the park will you get a signal
