Lakeside Beach State Park

Imagine a camping destination where Lake Ontario’s expansive waters meet serene, uncrowded surroundings—Lakeside Beach State Park in Waterport, New York, offers this rare blend of tranquility and natural charm. The park delivers a quiet retreat with over 270 campsites, some featuring picturesque lake views, complemented by four miles of hiking and biking trails, ample fishing opportunities, and well-maintained picnic areas.

Spread across 744 acres, the park is distinguished by its peaceful atmosphere, partly due to the absence of swimming facilities, which makes it an ideal spot for those seeking solitude away from busier shorelines like Hamlin Beach State Park, located just 20 minutes away. The Shore Winds Disc Golf Course, with two 18-hole layouts, is another notable feature, offering a challenge paired with breathtaking lake vistas, making it a unique draw for outdoor enthusiasts.

Located roughly 10 miles north of Albion and 30 miles west of Rochester, Lakeside Beach State Park is perfectly situated for day trips and weekend getaways. Its proximity to Lake Ontario ensures unparalleled opportunities for shoreline fishing, while the surrounding orchards and rural landscapes enhance its serene ambiance. Whether planning a relaxed camping excursion or exploring the park's scenic trails, this destination epitomizes a tranquil lakeside escape for nature lovers.
