FAQ

We care about how the PARK looks. One method of assuring this visual appeal is through specific size limits for porches and sheds. These are the only two additions that the PARK permits to a camping unit. Please see the manager for details. Before any construction begins, campers must submit a drawing of the proposed porch or shed on form W2 Addition to campsite for manager’s review and approval.

A unit entering the PARK must be no older than 20 years. We do not give exceptions.

To cover the 60 Acres of the PARK most campers purchase a golf cart. We only allow electric golf carts. They are quieter and cleaner than gasoline powered carts. When you have your cart …. be sure to participate in the July 4th Golf Cart Parade. It’s loads of fun, with prizes awarded. The parade has even been featured in the local newspaper!

Most campers and many visitors notice that the west side of Cayuta Lake is more densely populated than the east side where the PARK is located. How did that occur? Why does the PARK have Garret’s Point? Who was Garret? What was Camp Cornell? Find these answers and more at the three stations that form the Historic Corridor located at the South of the PARK. Usually on the July 4th weekend, the owner gives a narrated history of the Cayuta Lake area by walking along the Historic Corridor. Sign up for this walking tour with the Activities Director.
