Finger Lakes National Forest

Three developed campgrounds are maintained on the Forest. For more information see the Fingerlakes National Forest Campground Guide .

Blueberry Patch Campground has a picnic area, nine sites for tents or self-contained recreational vehicles, a hand-pump well, and vault toilets. A fee is charged for overnight use, which is on a first-come, first-served basis.

Potomac Group Campground is intended for use by groups of 10 to 40 people. Cooking grills, a hand-pump well, and vault toilets are available near the open picnic shelter. A fee is charged for reserved use of the site. Reservations may be made by contacting the Forest Service Office. Visitors may use the campground or picnic shelter on a first-come, first-served basis when it has not been reserved.

Backbone Trailhead is designed for picnicking or overnight camping by horseback riders. Facilities include parking areas with hitching rails, vault toilets, and cooking grills. Overnight use is on a first-come, first-served basis.

Free camping is also allowed throughout the National Forest. A shelter at the south end of the Interloken Trail provides a scenic stopover for hikers. Please pack out all your trash and camp at least 50 feet from the edges of streams and ponds. Check fire danger with the Forest Office before building a campfire.
