    Binge-watching your videos for a motorcycle camping trip to NY in September (after Labor Day). Want to keep our plans flexible, so didn't want to book any sites ahead of time. Can you just show up and get a site if available? The ReserveAmerica site is so confusing. Looks like they keep some sites available for first come/first serve campers? Specifically looking at Letchworth and Keuka Lake.

    @@jeannettec375 That is fantastic! I really don’t want to steer you wrong. We’ve never just shown up and tried to camp. We always book way in advance because sites are so hard to book. Letchworth is a really big park and because it’s after Labor Day, you may have the best luck there because the kids will be back in school. I agree that Reserve America is confusing. The only thing I can suggest if you want to keep plans loose is to join the Facebook group “NYS cancellations heads up”, or Camp ADK. Good luck! I hope your trip is amazing!

    The state should put a state park on nearby Refield Reservoir. There is plenty of waterfront and acreage available. You could have a lot of shaded campsites with a great place for boating and fishing. Redfield could use a little economic stimulus is the summer to balance the winter snowmobiling. The state seems to be expanding existing state parks like Southwicks by putting roads into a clearcut area and packing campers on top of each other. Which doesn't make for a good camping experience.
