Campgrounds and RV parks near Cassadaga, NY

Cassadaga sits in the rolling hills of Chautauqua County in western New York, about 15 miles inland from the southern shore of Lake Erie. The village anchors a chain of small glacial lakes known as the Cassadaga Lakes and serves as a practical base for RV travelers exploring the Lake Erie grape belt, Chautauqua Lake, and the Amish country to the south. Campground options range from small local grounds to a full-service resort. Firemans Fraternity Campground is a close option near the village. Lake Erie State Park, on the bluffs northwest of Cassadaga, provides state-run sites overlooking the lake. Chautauqua Lake KOA Holiday in Dewittville and Camp Chautauqua Camping Resort sit along Chautauqua Lake to the south, and Camp Prendergast rounds out the nearby private options. The surrounding Chautauqua County landscape features rolling wooded hills that rise well above the lake plain. That inland elevation keeps summer nights cooler than the lakeshore and shortens the shoulder seasons, which shapes when parks open and close each year.
