Overview

MARINA operated by Seneca Lake Resorts: Contact Seneca Lake Resorts for marina information at 315-835-5810 or 315-651-4949 or visit the Seneca Lake Resorts website at senecalakeresorts.com.

Sampson State Park encompasses nearly 2,000 acres, including just over 5.5 miles of lakefront, providing beautiful scenic views and abundant recreational opportunities. Centrally located in the Finger Lakes Park Region, Sampson State Park slopes gently above the eastern shore of Seneca Lake. Formed over 12,000 years ago, Seneca Lake is the largest and deepest of the Finger Lakes, with charted depths over 630 feet. Seneca Lake is famous for its lake trout fishing, with an annual National Lake Trout Derby held on Memorial Day weekend.

Additional Information

ALERT: Due to ongoing improvements at Sampson State Park, we will no longer be renting the picnic shelters. However, the Lodi Point State Park Open Shelter will still be available.

Park Rules & Information:

Swimming Season runs from June 17 - September 4th. Hours are 11am - 7pm, daily depending on staff coverage and water quality.

The park has 243 electric sites located in Loops 1-5 with both 30 and 20 amp service. These sites offer a mixture of open and shaded sites with a comfort station in each loop. Please bring a heavy extension cord. Distances between electric boxes and site pad can be as much as 50 feet. Each site has a gravel pad, fire ring, and one picnic table. Loop 5 is the closest to the lake, with prime sites that have lake views.

Only one wheeled camping unit and two motor vehicles are allowed per site. Tent campers may place two tents totaling not more than 225 square feet on a site. Boats and boat trailers are not permitted on the campsite. They can be left in the Park Office Parking lot or placed in a rented slip at the Marina.

QUIET HOURS: 10PM to 7AM. Only registered site occupants and vehicles are permitted in the park during this time. The park office closes at 8PM but staff is available to assist campers in getting to their site after this time.
