The camping season in this part of Central New York is compressed. Most private RV parks in the Melrose Park area operate roughly from spring through mid-fall, with Hejamada Campground and RV Park typically open May through October and Sunset Park Campground Inc. running a similar spring-to-early-fall schedule. Fillmore Glen State Park runs its camping season from mid-May through mid-October.
July and August are peak booking months, driven by warm lake weather, wineries, and school-holiday travel. Weekends around Memorial Day, Independence Day, and Labor Day fill first, and popular state park loops often sell out well in advance. Shoulder periods in May, early June, September, and early October bring cooler nights, thinner crowds, and easier same-week reservations.
Winter travel is limited for RVs. Snowfall is heavy across Cayuga County, most private campgrounds close for the season, and state park campgrounds shut down, though day-use areas may stay open for hiking, cross-country skiing, and snowmobiling on designated trails.

Matt was incredible from start to finish. Replies almost immediately to all messages and questions from time of booking, leading up to the trip and during your trip. The RV was immaculate on the outside, the entire cabin, refrigerator, bathrooms, etc. And it came with everything we would need for the trip. Was our first time staying in an RV - Matt showed up promptly when he said he would (even earlier), set up everything for our stay and walked me through everything we needed to know to use and enjoy the RV for a week. I would highly recommend Matt to anyone and would certainly book with him again!
