Kanakadea Park

Very friendly and accommodating staff. Well kept clean and pretty campground. Great price. A lot of geese though. Vault toilets but I grew up camping with those so no big deal.

What a beautiful, well kept campground. It was moderately busy and so peaceful. A shout out to the Army Corps of Engineers for this unique, well-designed oasis. Camp sites are close together but nicely laid out and well-equipped. Bathrooms are very well maintained. Very dog friendly. Judy, the manager, was kind and helpful. The trails are diverse and interesting. Can't wait to go back!

We didn't actually camp, we just had some Girl scout activities in the pavilion. The pavilions are nice. The girls next to them are nice. I did not use any of the bathrooms. The hiking trails are great. Very nice place

Beautiful, the staff are friendly, sites are good sized!!

Great place to stay. Very quiet. Was there during week and hardly any campers. Super clean and well maintained, not buggy. We were hiking the Finger Lakes Trail which goes right through the park so very convenient. Only $17 a night for a non electric site. Great place to kayak. Only draw back was lots of goose poop. Just have to watch where you step.

Such a great park, with beautiful views.
Would love to go in fall with the foliage.

Love this place! We are surrounded by nature! Weekends are busy, as expected. Weekdays are so peaceful! Electric hookups only; potable water fill and dump station are on site.

Wow best find yet what a beautiful laid back camp ground

Great place for anyone clean quiet nice people running the camp grounds

The park trail intertwines with the Finger Lakes Trail and is a moderate hike with rolling changes in elevation as you Trek around the lake. Nice place to walk your canine. Please practice leave no trace.

Very nice park, dog friendly. Scenic, many species of birds.. friendly staff. Nice, peaceful park

Loved the playground with all the old.style equip! My kids didn't know what a Merry Go Round was!

We spent a weekend here n enjoyed the cabin n then we did the tent ⛺ best experience we had very polite and clean. Will be coming again this summer

The reason I gave 5 stars is because. My kids LOVE IT there, they like the non cramped park, they like being able to run around and not be ok top of everyone.
The wife and I love it also because we love the outdoors and nature. We can go do cookouts there and invite a bunch of people and have a great time.

What a special little campground that we found! I’m so happy that we chose to stay here instead of a hotel. I booked the 2 cute cabins. They have electric, mini fridge, microwave, a space heater, room for 5 to sleep!!! They were like brand new. Bring your own bedding. Bathrooms right next to cabins. There are hookups available for campers. The shower house is very clean. Freshly painted. We got to enjoy some time with our boys by the campfire, they played football in the open grass. It was so perfect!!! The view of the lake is gorgeous! I can’t wait to go back when the leaves change! Would 100% recommend.

We are so grateful for Judy and Roger, the camphosts, and everyone we met here. We unexpectedly found ourselves camping here for 2 weeks because it was close to St James Hospital where I was getting rabies shots. (I was attacked by a rabid raccoon 40 minutes north at a different park.) We couldn't have asked for a better spot to enjoy during a stressful time. As full-time travelers, we don't usually sit still that long but we had everything we needed to be comfortable. Showers, bathrooms, surrounded by the lake and trees, and friendly smiles. This is marked as one of our favorite spots now.

Very fond memories. Trails to walk with Educational Info posted on posts throughout the trails, near certain trees. Cute stone stairway to walk at entry of trail. Periodic bench seating along the way too! Very nice area to enjoy. Has a very nice Park and good size lot for parking. And picnic/grill areas too.

Loved this place! Pretty lake, and nice green grass. We were located right by the office. Nice guy said it was the most level space in the park. We stayed 3 nights. Traveled to Elmira one day to check out Mark Twain gravesite, and his study where he wrote his books was moved to the Elmira College campus. The college had beautiful old buildings from the 1800s. There are some really pretty homes around that area as well. Then we went to Niagara Falls the next day. It took 2 1/2 hrs, but it would have taken a lot longer if we took the trailer with us, and the gas would have been so expensive. The campgrounds are more expensive out there too. It was the right decision for us. You should try The Village Cafe in Arkport while you're here, the fried fish, breaded steak, and seafood bisque was delicious. Would definitely stay here again. It was so easy to register, and only $25 a night.

Great place to take your kids! We haven't camped here, but there is lots to do. Fishing, a playground, and lots of trails to explore! Trails are all well marked, my 10 year old was able to lead the way with no problem

An absolutely wonderful little campground. The park manager was an incredible help from the moment we arrived (very late I might add, it was after 9PM). Always friendly, professional, and attentive.

The park itself, however small, offered a fair sized site, WITH POWER! Not all sites have power but on a Thursday I was able to get an electric site for through the weekend when the neighboring State parks were booked solid.

It's a beautiful location, not as heavily shaded as I like but shady nonetheless. The views of the lake are stunning and the park big enough to keep us busy all weekend long.

The proximity to Hornell and some larger grocery/retail chains made our trip even that much better. I cannot wait to come back again, especially with their very long season.
