Kanakadea Park, Hornell NY

Love this place, surrounded by nature! Weekends are busy, as expected. Weekdays are so peaceful! Electric hookups only; potable water fill and dump station are on site.

We are so grateful for Judy and Roger, the camphosts, and everyone we met here. We unexpectedly found ourselves camping here for 2 weeks because it was close to St James Hospital where I was getting rabies shots. (I was attacked by a rabid raccoon 40 minutes north at a different park.) We couldn't have asked for a better spot to enjoy during a stressful time. As full-time travelers, we don't usually sit still that long but we had everything we needed to be comfortable. Showers, bathrooms, surrounded by the lake and trees, and friendly smiles. This is marked as one of our favorite spots now.

Went for father's Day. It was completely packed to the point we had to park in the grass.

I go kayaking there. It's a small lake but it's close and the shores are shallow with plenty of shade and fish.

I talked to a older couple who told me in 72 when hurricane Agnes came thru, the dam was almost spilling over the top. They also told me it used to have a beach a lifeguard and swimming was allowed.

Great peaceful place! Could use some more accommodations however it's a safe clean place to bring children.

The reason I gave 5 stars is because. My kids LOVE IT there, they like the non cramped park, they like being able to run around and not be ok top of everyone.
The wife and I love it also because we love the outdoors and nature. We can go do cookouts there and invite a bunch of people and have a great time.

Loved this place! Pretty lake, and nice green grass. We were located right by the office. Nice guy said it was the most level space in the park. We stayed 3 nights. Traveled to Elmira one day to check out Mark Twain gravesite, and his study where he wrote his books was moved to the Elmira College campus. The college had beautiful old buildings from the 1800s. There are some really pretty homes around that area as well. Then we went to Niagara Falls the next day. It took 2 1/2 hrs, but it would have taken a lot longer if we took the trailer with us, and the gas would have been so expensive. The campgrounds are more expensive out there too. It was the right decision for us. You should try The Village Cafe in Arkport while you're here, the fried fish, breaded steak, and seafood bisque was delicious. Would definitely stay here again. It was so easy to register, and only $25 a night.

Been camping there for over 50 years. One of my favorite campgrounds. Not a lot of amenities but you can't beat the price.

We had our family reunion there. There was nothing to do.we couldn't find out where the entrance was to the 2.2 mile walk. Very nice place but not much to do.

Excellent experience! Clean, nice people, great place to camp while heading to Alfred university for football!

Beautiful place. I love fishing this place as long as I have a boat. Shore fishing is not great here

Love the ride down on the motorcycle. My wife enjoys feeding the fish from the dam and the view.

Very nice camp ground Judy and the staff make sure you are taken care of they go out of there way!

The park trail intertwines with the Finger Lakes Trail and is a moderate hike with rolling changes in elevation as you Trek around the lake. Nice place to walk your canine. Please practice leave no trace.

Loved the playground with all the old.style equip! My kids didn't know what a Merry Go Round was!
