Campgrounds near Mexico, New York
Mexico sits on the eastern shore of Lake Ontario in Oswego County, on the edge of Mexico Bay. The area is best known for its Great Lakes shoreline, sandy beaches, and the nearby Salmon River, which draws anglers from across the Northeast during fall salmon and steelhead runs.
RV travelers have several nearby options. Mexico Bay along Lake Ontario is flanked by private and state-run campgrounds within a short drive of the village. Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park™ Camp-Resort and Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park™ Camp-Resort: Mexico offer family-oriented resorts with pools and activities. J and J Campgrounds serves as a smaller, quieter private option. Selkirk Shores State Park, operated by the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, provides wooded and bluff-top sites just north of town near the mouth of the Salmon River. Brennan Beach RV Resort, a large lakefront resort to the south, focuses on full-hookup RV camping with direct beach access.
Together these parks cover most trip styles, from family resort stays to state-park camping and long-stay RV setups.
Things to do near Mexico, NY
Lake Ontario is the anchor. Mexico Point and the beaches at Selkirk Shores State Park offer swimming, paddling, and shoreline walking, and the Salmon River is a top destination in New York for Chinook and coho salmon, steelhead, and brown trout, with public fishing access at Pineville, Altmar, and the Douglaston Salmon Run.
Families staying at Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park™ Camp-Resort or Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park™ Camp-Resort: Mexico can stay on-site for pools, mini-golf, and character events. Brennan Beach RV Resort adds a private beach, marina, and organized weekend programming.
Off-site, day trips include the Salmon River Fish Hatchery in Altmar, the port city of Oswego with its lighthouse and Fort Ontario, and the Salmon River Falls Unique Area, a DEC-managed site with a short trail to a 110-foot waterfall.

Peak RV season on eastern Lake Ontario runs from late May through early September. Summer brings warm days, moderate humidity, and lake breezes, with water temperatures in the bay warming into the 70s Fahrenheit by mid-July. Family resorts and beach-focused parks fill quickly around the Fourth of July and Labor Day weekends.
Fall is the marquee season for anglers. From mid-September through October, the Salmon River sees heavy Chinook and coho runs followed by steelhead, and lodging near Pulaski and Selkirk Shores books out well in advance. Foliage typically peaks in early to mid-October.
Winter is severe. The eastern Lake Ontario snowbelt receives some of the heaviest lake-effect snow in the country, and most private campgrounds close from mid-October through April. Selkirk Shores State Park's campground operates seasonally. Spring is cool, wet, and slow to warm, with steelhead fishing extending into April and campgrounds reopening in May.

How to book
Reservations for Selkirk Shores State Park are handled through the New York State Parks system on ReserveAmerica, which opens a rolling nine-month booking window. Waterfront and electric sites go fastest for summer weekends and the fall salmon run, so booking as early as the window opens is recommended.
Private parks including Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park™ Camp-Resort, Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park™ Camp-Resort: Mexico, J and J Campgrounds, and Brennan Beach RV Resort take reservations directly through their own websites or by phone. Holiday weekends, themed weekends at the Jellystone properties, and September fishing weeks often require deposits and minimum stays.
RV travelers should confirm site length, hookups, and slide-out clearance at booking, since some wooded state-park loops have tight approaches.
What to expect on arrival
Roads into Mexico off Interstate 81 and NY Route 104 are well-maintained and handle large rigs. Cell coverage is generally good in town and thinner in the state park's wooded loops. Grocery, fuel, and propane are available in Mexico and nearby Pulaski.
Expect a mix of open lakefront sites with wind exposure and shaded interior sites under mature hardwoods. Biting insects, especially mosquitoes and black flies, peak in late spring and early summer, so screens and repellent are useful. Lake-effect weather can bring quick shifts, and Lake Ontario waves can build fast on west winds.
Quiet hours, pet rules, and campfire policies vary by park. Selkirk Shores enforces state-park regulations including firewood restrictions to slow the spread of invasive pests, and firewood should be purchased locally.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Mexico, NY
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Mexico, NY?
An RV rental in Mexico, NY usually runs between $90 and $275 per night, depending on whether you choose a compact campervan, a family-sized travel trailer, or a fully loaded Class A motorhome. Because Mexico sits on Lake Ontario's eastern shore and pulls in salmon anglers, beachgoers, and Pulaski-bound fishermen, late September through October (the famous Salmon River run) and July-August book up first and price highest. For a cheap RV rental in Mexico, NY, target mid-week pickups in June or early September, filter by smaller travel trailers, and look for hosts offering free local delivery so you skip fuel costs to the campground. Pro tip: bundling 5+ nights often unlocks weekly discounts hosts set themselves.
visitoswegocounty.com/parks-and-recreation/campgrounds/What license do I need to rent an RV in Mexico, NY?
Good news: your standard New York (or home-state) Class D driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Mexico, NY. No commercial license, no special RV endorsement, no test required, even for Class A motorhomes under 26,000 pounds. You'll need to be 25 or older to book on RVezy, and you'll verify your ID through the platform during checkout, which takes just a few minutes. Visiting from outside the US? Bring your home license plus an International Driving Permit (usually under $20 from your local auto club). That's it. Most first-time renters are surprised how quickly they go from booking to driving away.
dmv.ny.gov/driver-license/driver-licensesIs my RV rental in Mexico, NY protected if something goes wrong?
Yes, every RV rental in Mexico, NY booked through RVezy comes with a renter protection plan and 24/7 roadside assistance built into your reservation. During checkout you choose your coverage level (RVezy sets the tiered protection plans, not the host), which covers most accidental physical damage to the RV. That means if you clip a low branch on County Route 16 or get a flat heading up to Pulaski for salmon season, you are not on the hook alone. It gives you real peace of mind so you can focus on the trip, not the what-ifs.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat happens if I need to cancel my RV trip from Mexico, NY?
You have flexibility. RVezy (not the individual host) sets the cancellation policy that applies to every booking, and it includes a grace period after booking where you can cancel for a full refund. After that, your refund depends on how close you are to your trip start date, and there are accommodations for unexpected events like severe lake-effect storms. If the host ever cancels on you, RVezy provides a refund or travel credit. You will see the exact terms during checkout before you pay, so booking your Mexico, NY RV trip is low-risk and you can lock in that prime October salmon-run weekend with confidence.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a pet-friendly RV rental in Mexico, NY?
Absolutely. Plenty of hosts offer pet-friendly RV rental in Mexico, NY: just toggle the Pet-Friendly filter when you search and you will see motorhomes and trailers that welcome four-legged co-pilots. Once you are on the road, Selkirk Shores State Park near Pulaski allows leashed pets at campsites and day-use areas with proof of rabies vaccination, and Mexico Point Park on the Little Salmon River is perfect for a morning leash walk before breakfast. Pro tip: message the host before booking to confirm any pet fee and bring a copy of your dog's vaccination record for state park check-ins.
parks.ny.gov/documents/parks/PetsInParksPolicy.pdfCan the RV be delivered to my campsite in Mexico, NY?
Yes, RV delivery in Mexico, NY is one of the most popular options on RVezy, especially for first-timers who would rather not drive a 30-foot motorhome down Route 104. Many local hosts will tow or drive the RV right to Selkirk Shores State Park, a private park in the Mexico area, or your own driveway, level it, hook up power and water, and walk you through every system before they leave. That means you show up with groceries and a swimsuit. Use the Delivery filter on RVezy to see who delivers in your area and check the host's delivery radius and fee in the listing.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Mexico%2C%20New%20YorkHow far can I drive on an RV road trip from Mexico, NY?
You can go as far as you want. Mexico, NY sits near the intersection of I-81 and Route 104, making it a great launchpad for an RV road trip. Niagara Falls is about 165 miles west (roughly 3 hours), the Adirondacks' Old Forge area is about 90 miles east, the Finger Lakes wine country around Seneca Lake is about 75 miles south, and the 1000 Islands at Alexandria Bay are about 75 miles north up I-81. Hosts set their own mileage policies, with many offering 100-150 free miles per night, and a growing number list RV rental with unlimited mileage for serious road-trippers. Check the listing's mileage section before you book.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Mexico%2C%20New%20YorkWhere are the best campgrounds near Mexico, NY?
You're spoiled for choice. The best campgrounds near Mexico, NY all sit within 20 minutes of downtown. Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park at Mexico (601 County Route 16) is a family favorite with themed weekends, pool, and full hookups. J & J Campgrounds (291 Tubbs Rd) offers 90 sites with 30/50-amp service, ten minutes from the Salmon River. Selkirk Shores State Park in Pulaski (about 12 miles north) puts you on a Lake Ontario bluff with electric sites and incredible sunsets. Brennan Beach RV Resort in Pulaski is a full-amenity lakeside resort, and Lazy Lou's Campground right in Mexico (159 Ladd Rd) is a quiet, full-hookup pick for around $30 a night.
parks.ny.gov/visit/state-parks/selkirk-shores-state-parkWhen is the best time to visit Mexico, NY in an RV?
Late May through mid-October is prime RV camping season in Mexico, NY, with peak weather running mid-June through August when daytime highs sit in the upper 70s to low 80s and Lake Ontario beaches come alive. September and early October are the local insider's pick: cooler 60s-70s days, fewer crowds, the world-famous salmon and steelhead runs on the Salmon River in Pulaski, and Tug Hill foliage exploding in red and gold. Most campgrounds, including Selkirk Shores State Park, run their full season from mid-May to mid-October. Skip late October through April for traditional camping, as the Lake Ontario snow belt drops well over 100 inches of snow on the Mexico area most winters.
weather.gov/buf/I've never rented an RV before. Will I be okay driving in Mexico, NY?
You will be just fine, even if it is your first time renting an RV. Mexico, NY is a small town with wide rural roads, light traffic, and easy access to I-81 and Route 104, far less intimidating than navigating a city. Every RVezy host gives you a thorough walkthrough at pickup: how to level, hook up power, dump tanks, run the awning, and operate the propane systems. No question is too basic. Pro tip: book a delivered RV at Selkirk Shores or a private park for your first trip, so all the driving is done by the host and you just relax. Most first-timers tell us their second trip feels like second nature.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat if I have a breakdown during my Mexico, NY RV trip?
You are never alone on the road. Every RVezy booking includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the renter protection plan, so if you get a flat on Route 3, a dead battery at Mexico Point, or a propane issue at your campsite, one phone call gets help dispatched. You will also have your host's direct contact info, and most local hosts respond fast since they know the area cold. The closest hospitals and tow services are in Oswego (about 13 miles southwest) and Pulaski (about 12 miles north), so help is rarely far away. Save the RVezy support number and your host's number in your phone before pulling out of the driveway.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my RV rental from Mexico, NY into Canada?
Cross-border travel into Canada is possible on many RVezy rentals from Mexico, NY, since the Thousand Islands Bridge crossing at Alexandria Bay is just 75 miles north on I-81. You will need explicit written permission from your host before crossing, because not every owner's insurance extends across the border, so message the host directly through the listing to confirm. Travel into Mexico (the country) is not permitted on RVezy rentals due to insurance limitations. For Canada, every traveler needs a passport, plus your rental agreement, proof of insurance, and the host's letter of authorization. Popular Canadian routes include Kingston, Ottawa, and Prince Edward County wine region.
cbp.gov/travel/us-citizens/know-before-you-goHow much will I spend on fuel during my Mexico, NY RV trip?
Budgeting fuel for your Mexico, NY RV trip is straightforward. Smaller campervans get 18-22 MPG, Class C motorhomes average 8-12 MPG, and big Class A rigs sit around 6-10 MPG. New York gas prices typically run a bit above the national average, so figure roughly $3.50-$4.00 per gallon in the Oswego County area. A 200-mile round trip out to the Finger Lakes in a Class C will run you about $70-$90 in gas. Pro tip: fill up at the Stewart's Shops in Mexico or the larger truck stops along I-81 in Pulaski where prices tend to be lower than at lakeside tourist stations, and travel mid-week when fuel demand dips.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book a campground near Mexico, NY?
Book early and you will thank yourself later. New York State Parks like Selkirk Shores open reservations up to 9 months in advance through ReserveAmerica (newyorkstateparks.reserveamerica.com), and prime summer weekends plus the September-October salmon run sell out fast. For private parks in the Mexico, NY area and Brennan Beach RV Resort in Pulaski, aim for 3-4 months ahead for July-August, and 4-6 weeks for shoulder season. Same-day campsite reservations at state parks are typically allowed if sites are still open. Pro tip: midweek Tuesday-Thursday stays almost always have openings, even in peak summer.
newyorkstateparks.reserveamerica.com/What are the driving conditions like around Mexico, NY?
Driving an RV around Mexico, NY is genuinely easy most of the year. Route 104, I-81, and County Route 16 are wide, well-maintained, and lightly trafficked compared to downstate New York. The main thing to know: Mexico sits squarely in the Lake Ontario snow belt and racks up around 100+ inches of snow each winter, with lake-effect bands that can drop a foot in a few hours from November through March. From May through October, conditions are excellent. Watch for deer at dawn and dusk on rural roads, and use lower gears on the rolling hills around Tug Hill. Pro tip: check 511ny.org for real-time road conditions before you head out.
511ny.org/What amenities can I expect at campgrounds near Mexico, NY?
You'll find everything you need. Private parks near Mexico, NY like Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park, J & J Campgrounds, and Brennan Beach RV Resort offer full hookups (water, sewer, 30/50-amp electric), pools, laundry, camp stores, propane refills, and dump stations. Selkirk Shores State Park provides electric-only sites (no water hookups at the site, but fresh water fill-up stations and a dump station are available on-site), plus clean bathhouses with hot showers. Cell service is generally good throughout Oswego County, but Wi-Fi at campgrounds varies. Pro tip: top off your fresh water tank before leaving the host's driveway, since some Mexico-area state park sites have you fill at a central station rather than at the pad.
parks.ny.gov/visit/state-parks/selkirk-shores-state-parkWhat amenities do RV rentals in Mexico, NY typically include?
Most motorhome rentals in Mexico, NY come ready to go with real beds (often a queen plus convertible dinette and bunks), a working kitchen with stove, fridge, microwave, and sink, a full wet bath with toilet and shower, dining seating with seatbelts for travel, climate control via roof AC and propane furnace, and an awning for shaded outdoor evenings. Many include a TV, and some offer Wi-Fi hotspots or onboard generators as add-ons. Campervans are more compact but include sleeping, basic cooking, and often a portable toilet. Each listing spells out exactly what is included, so you can match the rig to your trip. Pro tip: filter by Sleeps count to instantly see family-sized options.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Mexico%2C%20New%20YorkWhat add-ons can I get with my Mexico, NY RV rental?
Hosts in Mexico, NY offer a great range of add-ons to customize your trip. Common options include linen and bedding packages ($30-$75), camp chairs and outdoor tables, propane fire pits, generators ($25-$50/day), bike racks, kayak racks (very popular for Salmon River and Lake Ontario), Wi-Fi hotspots, and pre-stocked kitchen kits. Delivery and setup at Selkirk Shores State Park, a private park in the Mexico area, or your home driveway is the most popular add-on, with fees usually based on distance from the host. Mileage policies vary by host, with most offering 100-150 free miles per night and some listings offering unlimited mileage. All add-ons and fees appear transparently in the listing before you book.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Mexico%2C%20New%20YorkHow do payments and the security deposit work for an RV rental in Mexico, NY?
Payment is simple and secure. You pay through the RVezy platform with a credit or debit card, never directly to the host, so your transaction is protected from start to finish. A refundable security deposit (typically $500-$1,500 depending on the RV) is pre-authorized on your card before pickup and released after the host confirms the RV came back in the same shape it left. To avoid issues, do a thorough walkaround video with the host at pickup, follow the mileage and generator hour limits in your listing, and return with the fuel and propane levels you started with. Easy as that.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksIs winter RV camping possible in Mexico, NY?
Winter RV camping in Mexico, NY is an adventure for the well-prepared. Most local campgrounds, including Selkirk Shores State Park and private parks in the Mexico area, close from late October through mid-May because the Lake Ontario snow belt regularly buries the area in well over 100 inches of snow and temperatures can plunge below zero. If you are chasing the December-March steelhead run on the Salmon River or want to snowmobile Tug Hill's extensive trail network, look for four-season RV rentals in Mexico, NY with heated holding tanks, enclosed and insulated underbellies, and 30-amp shore power compatibility. Confirm winterization features with your host directly. Pro tip: use skirting for serious cold snaps.
