Jellystone Park of the Finger Lakes @ Babcock Hollow

First off ....the staff are super super friendly and the cabin we stayed in was absolutely beautiful! Very clean and updated with all the amenities you need and more! I gave it 2 stars for some reasons below: 1. The location we got promised it was a creekside cabin. It was rockside. The creek was 100% dried out! We paid almost $400 for 2 nights. 2. The stairs going up to the porch were about to fall apart. Very unsafe! 3. The brochure says there are kayaks and paddleboats. No paddleboats were operable. The kayaks we tried using were leaking. 4. We felt like outsiders. We were surrounded by what seemed to be seasonal campers and not all of them were very friendly. They looked as if we were intruding. Seemed like if you didn't have a golf cart you didn't belong! Lol 5. There wasn't much to do for teens. There wasn't much activity going on as far as entertainment. Maybe only we had a bad experience there but I can say I would never go back again. Kinda annoyed we paid that much.

My family of 3 stayed in the rustic cabin the week after Memorial Day. We enjoyed our stay as the site, was well kept, and had activities to do for our daughter who turned 9 while we were there. The cabin had a bunk beds, mini fridge with freezer( freezer was bigger than I thought), a small island with a convection oven, tv, and a AC. Outside it had a firepit, picnic tables, and a charcoal grill nestled just a steps off the lake/pond.  My daughter and husband barely left the lake/pond as they loved to fish, and caught quite a few fish. The cabin was more than I expected with the exception of the mattresses for the beds were more like changing pads for babies which hurt our backs and I thought it could have had running water weather it be inside or out. Since we cooked, we had no way of washing the cookware. There were two bathrooms by the cabins which had a toilet and a sink which was perfect in proximity for nighttime bathroom breaks. Watch out for the caterpillars dangling from trees. My daughter accidentally locked herself in the bathroom by our cabin. The lock for her was tricky and she didn’t realize you had to turn it a specific way.  I had to call the front desk and Rhonda was there in a split second! The main bathrooms/showers were up to date, and always kept clean. Marty was super sweet as well! My daughter loved the activities from the pool, train rides, pillow, sidewalk chalk, and bingo. Rhonda and her staff were wonderful, friendly, polite and helpful as well! About the area : the campgrounds are literally in the middle of nowhere on the mountain. However, there is a small town of Bath like 5 minutes down the street. It had 2 gas stations a dollar general and I even managed to find their grocery store. If your looking for stuff to do in the immediate area I don’t think there was much there in my opinion. We drove to Corning one day (25 minute drive), we went to Watkins Glen ( 35 minute drive) beautiful place. The town lost power that day so we were unable to eat in the area. We headed to camp and ate at the Kozy Korner ( it was good diner food). We also visited Elmira to visit Mark Twain’s gravesite and the Soaring Museum. On our last day, we drove into Hammondsport and stopped at 2 wineries. I truly enjoyed Bully Hill Winery! It sat up top the lake, the wine is delicious. We were doing a tasting and asked about tours. They were free, and happened to have one in 2 minutes. Kurt was our tour guide and it made it interesting and we enjoyed the tour! Spectacular Views. All in all I would totally recommend this campsite for families. Even with the mattress and not having water, the staff made the place family friendly. On our last day, Rhonda hugged my daughter and said she loved us. It was very welcoming!

We went to Jelly Stone for our anniversary and had a wonderful time. Our site was huge and right next to the Canine Corrale dog park. The permanent campers where so welcoming, nice and helpful. We have a 44' 5th wheel that fit perfect in our spot. The campground is located right of the interstate exit yet far enough that you cannot hear the traffic. The campground is setup for kids with a little train that runs through the park, a play ground and lots of activities. I cannot say how much we enjoyed our stay here and are looking forward to returning again very soon.
