Canandaigua / Rochester KOA - Farmington, NY
Great family campground with plenty to do for the kids! Conveniently located about 5 miles from I-90, exit 44 (NY Thruway), it’s a nice location in the heart of New York’s Finger Lakes Region.
The campground is clean and nicely maintained with lots of mowed lawn areas and a very nice lake. Interior roads are gravel in good condition and the sites are level. There are a good selection of sites ranging for everything from tents to RVs, although some of the sites are a bit small for big rigs.
This KOA offers plenty of amenities including a free stocked fishing pond, bike rentals, boat rentals, game room, mini golf, theme activity weekends, special programs -BINGO, campfires, wagon rides, FREE movie theater, cafe with breakfasts and dinners. Beautiful waterfront cabin rentals. Clubs and groups welcome to use their facilities. Wi-Fi was recently added (fee) and coverage is good.
There’s plenty to see and in the Finger Lakes Region: horse races, Canandaigua Lake boat tours and swimming, Sonnenberg Gardens, wineries - tours, golf courses, Roseland Water Park, Granger Homestead, antiques and flea markets. City of Rochester only 20 minutes away.
The Canandaigua / Rochester KOA is an excellent campground to stay at for a week or so as you explore all the great attraction of New York’s Finger Lakes Region. We recommend it to all our friends!

We reserved a full hookup, pull through site capable of accommodating 60+ feet back in February. When we arrived, (8PM on the night of our reservation) we were directed to a water/electric site barely capable of getting us off the road with the potential of damage to our rig or anothers rig at the time of departure. KOA’s seem to be famous for “sardine can” type of accommodations, but never before have I exerienced a “bate and switch” type of reservation. In addition, we were charged a 4.00 amp charge, someting that was not disclosed to us at the time of our reservation. If you choose to stay here, be prepared for the unexpected and I don’t mean in a good way.
