We stayed here for two weeks in the dry sites. Water & dump station were easily accessible from all sites in our loop. However, according to worker in the park, they are making the entire loop full hookup before next season. Our loop (I think sites 48-72) was well spaced & quiet. Not a lot of trees, which was what we wanted to run on solar. Generators allowed during certain hours.
Shower house was older & water never got very hot, but it works and was clean if you need to use it.
The biggest attraction of the park was the Gorge & Rim trails and the easy accessibility to Cayuga Lake and other state parks in the area - Buttermilk Falls, Taughhannock Falls, and Watkins Glen. We drove through all the campgrounds & thought Robert H Treman was the best spaced of them & after hiking all of the parks, Robert H Treman was our favorite in that regard as well.
We were there after Labor Day, but there is a swimming hole at the bottom of the falls which looks like it would be lovely in the summer time!
Ithaca is two minutes away with Walmart, grocery stores, restaurants, and anything else you could need. We got our propane filled at Tractor Supply Co right on Highway 13. There is also a great Farmer’s Market on Saturday and Sunday in Ithaca worth checking out as well as a farm fresh produce stand right at the turn off of 13 into the park.
Overall, this park had wonderful hiking, easy access to stores, short drive to other area attractions, and was well maintained by park staff. We would stay here again when in the Finger Lakes area.

The site gave us plenty of open sky to get high quality solar nectar till about 2pm, then the beautiful trees provided for diffuse solar opportunities. AT&T and Verizon hot spot worked for streaming and video calls. Hikes up and down the gorge and along waterfalls was lovely. The swimming hole is a nice way to cool off post-hike. Friendly office staff.

The park surrounding this campground is a magical trail laden, waterfall centric place that is worth a visit whether or not your camp here. The campground here feels older - several sections of it are very well treed and some sites should not be accessed by larger rigs.
There is a loop that is in an open field. It's all dry camping, but it has plenty of space for rigs of designated site length and is easily accessible. The sites in this area seemed level.
We stayed in site 10, which offered 30A electric. The site was not level, but we were able to make it work without much fuss. The site was spacious and tucked into some trees. It had a picnic table and fire ring. There is a water spigot that can be accessed for fill-ups a with a few lengths of hose.
Water spigots for filling tanks dot each camping area. All sites have a picnic table and fire ring.
The cabins at this park appear very cute, although they are old.
There is a swimming area that is crowned by a waterfall here - it's truly really cool. Tons of trails. A playground. And bathrooms.
Verizon worked fine for non video-up related tasks.

This state park will be amazing when they finish the field loop. We couldn’t level our coach, the 30 amp service couldn’t pump out enough voltage. Our friends in a smaller camper were in the site behind us and the site was represented as a back-in, but there was no room to back it in. They had to parallel to the road.

Loved this park! Yes it has some drawbacks. Roads were muddy and some of the sites are close. But the benefits definitely outweigh those. First off, the park manager (Jim) is wonderful! Super friendly and really went out of his way to make sure we had a comfortable stay at the park. The trail to Lucifer Falls was another highlight of our time here. We didn’t swim at the pools at the lower falls as we are keeping away from people when we can but it was a popular spot and nice that it was such a short walk from the campground. We would definitely stay here again!

Nice campground with open sites Which was good for solar. Sites were well spaced though lacking privacy because they’re open sites. There are sites also in the trees which didn’t look so good and that part of the campground the roads are pretty bad.
They have a large natural swimming area below a water fall but was under construction when we were there. The hike around the gorge was beautiful and is the highlight of the park. Lots of security from police and park police.

We stayed here in early Oct 2019 and had a decent experience. The roads are a little rough around the campsites, but the scenery is very nice and it's an easy walk to the lower waterfalls. Site 7 was easy to get into, but we didnt have as good of cell service as what's reported by others on campendium. ATT was unusable, Verizon was barely usable, but T-mobile was decent.
The staff here was very friendly and clued us into the fact that our parking pass is also valid for visiting all the other area state parks, which actually adds up pretty quick!
FYI - this campground (as many NY state parks) does check your pet rabies vaccination, so make sure to have it on hand when checking in

Very family friendly park, well staffed, within miles of downtown Ithaca sums up our experience. Two very large, new playgrounds and plenty of young families filled the campground over the weekend. Electric sites are minimal but well shaded and feet within the campground playground. Outer ring (~sites 1-5) are against woods with inner ring (~sites 6-11) near a cabin and open field/playground. Central water access is somewhat hidden amongst the electric sites so you may have to run a 25'+ water line if you need to fill. 20A service without issue. Bathrooms were very clean (we could smell the bleach 50' away as we walked by as the crew cleaned). Centralized showers were the same - well maintained, simple, but very clean and tiled down near the open field/non-electric tent area. We stayed in sites 004 and 011 (011 was probably preferrable for privacy (though, adjacent site looks down on you). Both were reasonably level and maintained/graveled.
Staff was very accommodating, welcoming, and upon check-in offered up some suggestions for our stay with 3 younger kids. Camp wood was available on-site, though we purchased immediately across from the main park entrance for $5/bundle. Don't miss out on the waterfall and swimming hole in warm weather - its only feet hidden behind the cabins; get there early to have a morning coffee and you may be the only people within eye shot. In the summer, you can drive across/through the stream which makes for a great photo opportunity and anticipation for young kids. A 2 mile one way hike with 900'ish feet elevations was a bit too much for our stay, but a drive up the road lends it self to some pretty fantastic short walk down into the upper gorge and open access to a historic Old Mill house turned museum space.
Ithaca brewing company (outdoor beer garden, family friendly) is less than 2 miles up the road about half the distance to Ithaca. Edge of town (<5 miles away) has plenty of big box stores and gas stations.
Your stay/State Park pass gets you access to all other nearby parks (Buttermilk, etc.). If you have kids with energy to burn, search out the downtown Children's Garden along the waterway - a creative space with garden/play areas for young to old. If near town on weekends, the Ithaca Farmers Market seems like the place to be (albeit, with terribly tumultuous parking and traffic to go along with it). Plenty of local farms, crafts, coffee, honey, food, even passed a live musician or two.

We camped in the open field to maximize our solar and got lots of sunshine - no electricity in the open field.
There is a lovely waterfall with a swimming area a 5-15 minute walk from the campground - it was hot when we were there in May 2015 and we went back and forth several times on our bicycles. There is also a longer dirt trail you can walk up a hill/mountain with lovely views.
Campground is located just south of the town of Ithaca which has grocery stores, the famous Moosewood Restaurant and lovely waterfront parks and even a huge waterfall right in town. We also enjoyed the Museum of the Earth in town.
A quirk of NY State Parks is that they absolutely require proof of rabies vaccination for your dog (cats too) at check in so be sure you have this on hand.
