We’ve been camping at Aqua Vista Campground in Petersburgh, NY for 6 years now with my wife and our two kids (now 5 and 7), and we absolutely love it! This place truly feels like a second home for our family. The campground is beautiful, peaceful, and very family-friendly, with plenty of space for the kids to play and explore. The staff is always warm and welcoming, and you can tell they really care about keeping everything clean and well maintained. It’s the perfect spot to relax, make memories, and enjoy the outdoors together. We’re grateful to have found such an amazing family campground and look forward to many more years here!

My husband and I met at Aqua Vista as teenagers, and now we camp here with our own kids—carrying on a tradition started by our parents, who still camp here too. Over the years, it’s grown into a second home not just for us, but for our extended family and friends who also spend their summers here. It’s the perfect spot for families, with Friday night movies in the park, hayrides, cornhole, DJ dance parties, bingo, kids' crafts, a great pool and creek, and fun events like Christmas in July and the annual carnival. There’s always something going on, and Mike (the owner) does a great job keeping things fun, organized, and welcoming. Aqua Vista is truly our summer home away from home.

AquaVista Campground is one of our favorite places! The staff and other campers are always so friendly, and there's something fun happening every weekend. My kids love the carnival, Christmas in July, Halloween, and especially decorating the 4th of July float. The weekly dance parties are a big hit, too! It's such a great family atmosphere, and sitting by the river in the evenings is so peaceful. We've made some amazing memories here--highly recommend for families!
