Chenango Valley
Overview
Chenango Valley State Park offers a unique geological experience for RV travelers visiting upstate New York. Created by retreating glaciers, the park is centered around two stunning kettle lakes, Chenango and Lily Lakes. The landscape is characterized by rolling hills and dense woodlands, providing a tranquil backdrop for those looking to escape the bustle of city life while enjoying the natural beauty of the Southern Tier region.
Location & Surroundings
Situated in Chenango Forks, the park is conveniently located near the confluence of the Chenango and Tioughnioga Rivers. Its location offers easy access to the Binghamton metropolitan area, yet the park itself feels worlds away. The surrounding terrain is a haven for wildlife, where campers can often spot white-tailed deer and a diverse array of bird species among the ancient pine and hardwood forests that line the shores.
Amenities & Park Features
The park features over 150 campsites, many of which are equipped with 30-amp electric hookups suitable for various RV sizes. Facilities include modern comfort stations with hot showers, a centrally located dump station, and a recycling center. Families appreciate the designated guarded swimming beach and the abundance of picnic areas. For those who enjoy recreation on the water, the park provides boat rentals to explore the calm surface of Chenango Lake.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Active travelers will find plenty to do without leaving the grounds, including the challenging 18-hole golf course known for its scenic fairways. Miles of multi-use trails are perfect for hiking and mountain biking in the summer or cross-country skiing during the winter months. Just a short drive away, visitors can explore the Ross Park Zoo in Binghamton or discover the charming local shops and eateries found in the nearby village of Greene.
Who This Park Is Best For
This destination is ideal for nature enthusiasts and families who prioritize outdoor activities over resort-style commercial amenities. It is a fantastic choice for birdwatchers and photographers drawn to the unique glacial topography. Golfing RVers will particularly enjoy the convenience of staying on-site, while the quiet, shaded sites make it a perfect retreat for those seeking a peaceful woodland experience in their home on wheels.

This is a spectacular state park, from top to bottom. The cabins are worth the price. The roads around the park are in great shape. There are two lakes with very well marked loop trails. Chenango Lake allows an inflatable boat & small electric motor. The lake is super clean and little debris outside aquatic plants making the boat super fun . I have to give props to the maintenance staff at this park. The grounds and buildings were super well maintained.

I absolutely love this park! It's beautiful, clean, and has great trails. A great place to walk your dogs, bbq, or adventure through the many trails. Today my dog and I walked around the lake. It was great.

Big beautiful park. Lots of camping areas, with & without hookups. Mostly wooded with some big grassy areas. Fairly level in RV sites. Nice shade. Good place for kids. Bath houses with showers. Portable water available.

Nice state park. The campground was nice and the spots spacious. The swimming in Chenango Lake area was fun, with an 11' deep end and diving board. The water wasn't particularly clear, but it was nice swimming in a lake. You can rent boats too. There are some very cool CCC structures there that are gorgeous
