The main New York state park camping season runs from mid-spring to mid-autumn, with peak demand from late June through Labor Day. Peak season runs from the end of June to the end of August, and Fillmore Glen and other state park campgrounds fill quickly on summer weekends. Weekday sites are easier to secure.
Spring brings full waterfalls and cool hiking, but overnight temperatures can still drop below freezing into April. Summers are warm and fairly wet, with June being the wettest month; expect afternoon thunderstorms and mosquitoes near wetlands. Fall delivers reliable Finger Lakes color from late September through mid-October and is a strong shoulder season for RV travel.
Winter closes most campground services. Fillmore Glen keeps its trails open for hiking, cross-country skiing, and snowmobiling, but campsites, pools, and cabins are shut down. Lake-effect snowfall from the Great Lakes can be heavy, and access roads may be limited.

Perfect RV to rent for our family of 5. Plenty of sleeping space. Very clean RV!!! I chose the delivery option, which made it so easy. Alex showed up exactly when he said and set everything up for us. He was very thorough showing us how everything works, etc. I would 100 percent recommend this RV. We will be renting from him again in the future!
