Stony Brook State Park Camping
Wooded campsites beside two stream-fed swimming pools dammed right into the creek bed, a much quieter alternative to Watkins Glen
A compact gorge park where two stream-fed swimming pools are dammed right in the creek bed, so kids swim in cold moving water with rock walls on either side. The campground sits in the woods a short walk from the gorge trail and the pools. It is much smaller and less known than Watkins Glen or Letchworth, which is the appeal: the same kind of scenery without the parking chaos. Dansville is minutes away for supplies, and Letchworth is a half hour north if you want to combine the two.
