This is a well laid out park. It seemed to have everything we required. We didn't use the Wi-Fi as we found none of them seem to work very well. All the sites looked level, except one and all are paved and very well spaced apart. It was easy to get into and get around in. About the only negative was that the back-in sites weren't deep enough to park our 35' fifth wheel and pull our vehicle in straight: a very small matter. We enjoyed our stay and will return. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This RV park is owned by Turning Stone Casino. The sites were not too level, but they were paved. If you go to the casino, they have a strange way of doing the slot machines. You have to put money on your card before you can play and then, if you run out of money on your card, you have to put more money on it! If you play golf, find a coupon for Pleasant Knoll. It cost us $20 for two people, plus a cart. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Absolutely beautiful campground! The pull through site we had (#110) was a little tight to get into: pole with garbage can a bit close to the road. But the site was level, lots of grass and shade trees for the dogs. The trails were lovely, very quiet campground, we didn't really mind the trains going by. Shuttle service to the casino was spot on. I didn't mind letting my 87-year old mother go out at night to the casino alone! Every one was friendly and helpful. We will be back before the season is over!! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Had trouble finding park as it is not located at the resort, but a 1/2 mile south. Better signage is needed. Customer service by the staff was outstanding. Roads are paved, but narrow with trees that need trimming for big rigs. The setting is a beautifully landscaped tree lined park with several small lakes. Our site was paved and long enough to not unhook towed vehicle. Site was clean with a table. Utilities were modern & well placed. Our site was in the rear of park across from the sewage lagoon which had a slight unpleasant odor. This is a destination park with lots of facitlities for campers of all ages. Pool was hotel quality with a lifeguard. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We loved this place. It is large and spacious. We only stayed one night because we ran out of time and had to get home, but I wanted to stay another day. Lots of things to do. Pool was very nice, had a life guard. I had no trouble leveling. There are playgrounds and paddle boats available. Good cable TV. I would plan my trip around this place to stay again along the way.

This is a very nice facility, but is a bit tight for a 40+' motor home. The site we were on was a little hard to level on. We like camping here, but probably won't camp there again because we believe that they are pricing themselves out of our market. We are just looking for a nice place to stay a few nights. $53 in this area is just too high. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I have stayed at campgrounds that where more expensive and not nearly as nice! The sites were level and blacktopped, yet there was plenty of grass in your site for your enjoyment. Staff was very friendly as well. Park was full for the weekend, yet you never would have known it that is how quiet it was. The only downside that some people may find is that if you are in back of the park where we were, you can hear the train that runs through town. We didn't mind and when we were in camper, we couldn't hear it even with the windows open. I would recommend this campground to everyone. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We only stayed here on a pass through to the Niagra area. This is a very spacious campground. There is at least 30 yards between sites and it is very well laid out. Three of the four areas are laid out in a wagon wheel with back in on the outside periphery, and pull through sites in the center. walking around, most sites were level or near level. We had an exception, and there were several. My left front tire was off the ground about 1 inch with the back leveler just touching the ground for stability. Also, some of the pull through sites are a tight curved turn, through the site. Think horseshoe, but not quite that bad. The drive through will put most big rigs at an odd angle and if the last camper moved the picnic table to close to the pad you will scratch your rig. Please don't ask me how I know, even if my dear wife did holler at me. If we were going to be here longer I would ask for another site, even a back-in. This is a casino resort , with the Casino about 1 mile from the RV park, and shuttle service is provided "on-call." The price we paid included a Good Sam member discount. The address that I found on the web page took me into the casino parking lot where, believe it or not, I asked directions. By this time my dear wife had pulled out the book and we plugged the address into our GPS. The address is 5065 State Road 365. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Stayed 10 nights in 40 ft MH. Extremely nice park with very well maintained sites, grounds and facilities. Nice picnic area, playground, tennis court, basketball court, etc. Registration parking area is somewhat short for big rigs with towed vehicles. Very clean restrooms. Lots of nice trees and shade, but do not create an obstacle around most sites. A few ponds with paddleboats, ducks and beautiful but messy Canadian geese. Frogs seem more evident than fish. Sites are long and wide, but architect curved some pullthroughs for aesthetic rather than practical purposes. Shuttle pickup to beautiful casino/resort is direct from your site. Wi-Fi is somewhat weak, but works OK. We paid $38.25 per night with 15% Escapees discount. Will visit again and highly recommend this park to others. We camped here in a Motorhome.

If you are looking for perfection, this is it. Easy on and off the New York through way. Shuttle to the casino, golfing galore, and entertainment. Lots of activities for families such as swimming at the pool, up to date playgrounds, tennis courts and walking trails. Terrific staff and immaculately maintained park. It is our favorite park to stay whether for a week or a month. The only problem might be the duck feces at sites near the many ponds. Our dogs liked to roll in it for some unknown reason. The Oneida Indian Nation works very hard to maintain this facility. We stayed for a month in August 2008 and received a discounted rate which was more than reasonable for the quality of this park and it's amenities. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is our second visit to this great site. We have a 35' Fleetwood Pace Arrow and selected a pull through site (402). The site is adjacent to the fishing pond so be careful in the mosquito season. Wi-Fi signal was low, however, I am using it now and it works. Cleanliness / friendliness seems to be the order of the day here. The great part about this place is the free 24 hour shuttle to the casino which is a short four minutes away. We don't tow a dinghy vehicle, so it offers us the opportunity to get away from the campsite for a little gambling. No gambling here if you decide to come to this campsite. It's a winner! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Mostly a very clean park. The geese really need to go away. We often have to pick up many droppings. The casino shuttle runs 24/7, which is very handy-even if you don't feel like cooking, you can go to one of the many restaurants in the casino. We do hear the train, but we are used to it now.

Nice park for sure - was a little disappointed as I guess i expected too much from reading all the reviews - Up sides are its very clean, nice paved sites (ours was a little unlevel though) big spaces between them, garbage is picked up at the site daily, and free shuttle 24 hrs to casino (just call and they come pick you up.) Downsides - was a little too open for my tastes - small shade trees for chairs but really no larger trees or wooded area's that shade the rigs, also kinda strange as was VERY quiet - not even a radio playing - enjoyed the train whistle as it broke up the silence. More like a quiet park than a campground. Kids there also seemed bored as not much going on - definitely seems its more for the people that want to stop a day or two and combine camping with a casino trip. We camped here in a Motorhome.

While there probably is a nicer campground somewhere, we've never seen anything like this. We'll call it nine out of ten in the hopes that a perfect campground exists somewhere. Until we find it this is the best by far! Everything you'd find at other, top-end campgrounds, but little extras that really made our week-long stay memorable. For instance, call "Transportation" at the casino, and they'll send a bus to your site (always within five or so minutes) and drop you off anywhere at this golf-course laden resort. (Built at the beginning of the golf boom fifteen or twenty years ago, this campground has a wealth of under-used courses of varying difficulty.) Here's one thing that was just really well-thought-out: behind each site is a clean trashcan, which is emptied every morning (we never even saw this happening) and the liner is replaced. Great running trails and a really warm pool. Nice clientele, too: lots of attractive campers working out every morning. Adds to the visual aesthetic. A beautiful woodsy feel with nicely landscaped sites. Try the one-hour massage at the spa--it'll run you a buck and a quarter with tip factored in, but it'll make you smile every time you lose at the casino, with its slightly worse odds than most casinos (as a matter of fact, we never saw anyone hit a sizable win), and speaking of casinos, the whole place, restaurants included, are dry/BYOB, which means you get the added treat of no wine with your meals, but also of watching eighteen year-olds blow money at the tables, money they will likely never even earn (since, ergo, they're gambling away their college tuition, but that's another story). Excellent cable selection, fast WiFi (always more important to us than cable), a really nice three-star (our rating) Italian restaurant in the casino, and if one of your tires "experiences failure" (isn't that a precious way to describe it), and you punk out and replace the whole back axle's worth, you'll end up calling off the other helpful campers (thanks again, guys) and get four new back tires from some really nice place in Oneida at a good price, installed at your site. A really classy place that's surrounded by casino fun. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nightly rate reflects 2 weekday nights at $45/night, and 2 weekend nights at $55/night. Nice park, but not really worth the rate, but it's the closest big-rig park to family in the area. The sites are long & wide, but the turn-in's to the narrow black-top pad are very tight. However, once on the black-top, there is plenty of grass area between sites. We had a great, clear view of a small lake, to our front. But, the series of small lakes attracts Canadian Geese. We always pick-up after our dog, but it truly seemed useless, since there are geese droppings all over the campground. Be sure to carefully watch your step. Bus service is available to the close-by Turning Stone Casino. Expect to hear some train noise. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was our first visit to the site. I happened to stumble upon RVparkreviews.com and that is where I learned of this "gem.' I reviewed each of the previous member's comments and called Turning Stones. When I mentioned what I wanted, and what I wanted to avoid, their representative chuckled. She knew that I had done my homework and was aware of some of the slightly negative comments. She assured me that I wouldn't share the previous opinions. She was correct. I stayed at site 317 in a 35' motorhome. The site was located adjacent to the fishing lake and had plenty of ample room. The campground is upstate and unfortunately it was cold at night. That proved to be a minor inconvenience as we sat by the fire. I requested a site away from the electric power lines and that caused the rep to once again chuckle. The site provided had a low Wi-Fi Signal, however, I was able to connect my laptop. My speed was not effected. I didn't take a shower in the RV as the bathroom facilities were immaculate. We don't tow a vehicle and the shuttle proved to be a great way to get back and forth to the casino, which was located within a mile. It must have been part of the Indian Reservation as gas was $3.05 for regular. We walked there for cigarettes for my brother-in-law which were $ 3.99 a pack. He said that was great price.

If I could afford to I would live at The Villages at Turning Stone! This is the best park we have stayed in traveling the east coast from Vermont to Florida! Between the staff, the sites and the over all peaceful grounds it is the most relaxing, enjoyable park. Everything is clean and well maintained (when was the last time you saw anyone clean the pay phone?)! There are many things to see and do in the area and free transportation to the casino and all it has to offer are definite perks. We encourage everyone to enjoy a stay at The Villages!

ABSOLUTELY THE MOST BEAUTIFUL RV RESORT WE HAVE EVER BEEN TO. This place is amazing. We invite park owners from everywhere to visit this park and learn from them. They've taken an industry that has a reputation for being mostly rundown or sub par, and turned it upside down. From the restrooms that rival the restrooms in their casino, to the almost museum-like set-up of the park, it is, by far, the most relaxing and enjoyable place we've ever stayed at. If you're considering going there, don't hesitate. you won't be disappointed. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Pros: Paved roads and sites. They have cable TV with over 70 channels from Time Warner. The bathrooms are spotless. It is a beautiful campground and well kept. The sites are fairly long and spaced widely apart, so there is a large grassy area at each sites. They also have pretty pond view sites. Cons: Very, very expensive for what they offer. Nothing at all to do for kids. Lifeguards at pool barely allow you to move. They are never any activities going on. This campground is primarily for people who want to spend the whole entire day at the casino. Oh, also, every time it rains all the sites flood and become a pond. I would not recommend this campground to people who have children. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This place is so classy they use two ply toilet paper in all their bathrooms! The facilities are top notch, with a heated pool, a hot tub, a playground, fishing pond, and whatever else you may need for your camping pleasure. We had issues with the WIFI, but really, we're camping! is it really that big a detriment? So why did we rate it an 8 instead of a 10??? Well, there was this train track... The trains run 24/7 and there is an intersection near the campgrounds (perhaps a 1/2 mile or so away), which require them to blow their whistle. I believe I was awakened every morning in this fashion. It wasn't a huge issue, but it is a constant, as there were times the trains were passing by every 15-30 minutes. There also is a large power line that disects the campground, and a few people were camping almost directly underneath it. Granted, I realize there is nothing they could do about that, but it just didn't look like it belonged, and I personally wouldn't want to camp near it. With all that being said, we would definitely go back! The negatives are easily overlooked when looking at all the positives, because the people who run this place do a first rate job.

The Villages at Turning Stone is the best campsite we have ever stayed at. Each campsite is spacious. The paved pads make set up easy. The facility itself is well maintained; e.g. the grounds are nicely landscaped, the pool was clean (and had a lifegaurd), and the playground was in excellent shape. The showers were clean and large with plenty of hooks and shelves for your clothes, soap, shampoo, etc. We would have given this campsite a 10 rating except for one fact. We camped there in a hybrid trailer (the beds fold out like a pop-up) so we were more exposed to outside noise than the RVs and fifth-wheelers. Near the campground is an active railroad where trains come through very often during the night blowing their whistles. Running the AC or fan helped to drown out this noise. Otherwise, this was an excellent campground and well worth the price. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

This park is amazing. It is almost too perfect. Our only complaint is that this is the first park we ever stayed in, and now when we go to other parks to check them out, we feel like we'd be slumming compared to The Village at Turning Stone. All paved roads and sites, immaculate (though watch out for the goose droppings-the geese must be the size of St. Bernards). By the way, our two dogs loved the park, too. Entire area was very nature oriented, with ponds, exhibit signs explaining what you were looking at, trails through woods and fields that were actually "boardwalked" in spots for convenience. Staff was very friendly, and other RVers were pleasant. There were no run-down seasonals there. Shuttle bus to beautiful casino (3 minutes from park). This is an upscale park that I would definitely recommend if you would like a relaxing, quality vacation. One bit of advice- ask for a site that definitely picks up wireless internet. Ours did not. Other than that, it was way above a ten rating. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is by far one of the best RV Parks in Central NY State. It was clean, quiet, roomy and the staff was pleasant and helpful. The public restrooms and showers were spotless. The sites were paved and level. The grounds and roadways are kept in excellent condition as are the nature trails. There is also an "on-call" 24 shuttle service to and from the Turning Stone Casino and Resort. This park is a must-do for a great RV experience. We camped here in a Motorhome.

No comments additional to the above; just a note on another of their restaurants: Season's Harvest. It's a buffet-type which features 7 different styles of cuisine to explore for $39. $50 for 2. Seating for 450; we took our own wine; found the food to be above average in selection and competent in preparation. Very nice staff and no reservations required even though it was a Fri show night. Be prepared to wait about 10 minutes on each end of the free shuttle bus. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I agree with all previous comments, and my WIFI worked great the second afternoon. However, I haven't seen any comments about the restaurants at their casino: there are nine restaurants; five for fine dining and four more casual venues. We chose Ridizio, a Brazilian steakhouse which has 11 'Gauchos' circulating the room, each with a different cut of roasted meat on a skewer (beef, lamb, chicken, fish, sausage et al.) They keep stopping at your table to carve you some to go with your potatoes and vegetable, until you indicate that you've eaten your fill; then there's coffee and dessert. Great fun and super food; however, you have to realize that the casino doesn't have a liquor licence (some tax dispute between the Oneida Nation and New York State.) Therefore, if you'd like wine with your meal, you have to bring your own. They don't mind this, and will lend you glasses and a corkscrew if you need one. We'll be back for a longer stay next year. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Probably the best RV park in New York. Be sure to request a back in site. All back in sites have a nice view from your back window. Pull thru sites have a view of another RV. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This one of the nicest campgrounds I have ever stayed in. The place is spotlessly clean and there is plenty to do. Highly recommended! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a really nice campground. The first thumbs up has to be for the immaculate bathroom facilities. We didn't use the pool but it looked really nice. The staff was very friendly. The camp's store was really stocked with reasonably-priced items. All roadways were paved and that made bike riding a joy!!!! We played horseshoes. There is an arcade with some great games. The laundry room was nice and it even had an ironing board! We fed the ducks near the pond. There was a shuttle that picked campers up to take them to the casino and back home again. My husband's only complaint was that there was a cooking grill permanently attached to the fire ring which made it a little difficult to maneuver the logs around when stoking a fire! My only complaint was the fact that our site was small but we managed. If you're looking for a quiet campground with friendly staff and a good place to relax, this is the campground for you! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We feel that this is one of the best campgrounds in the East. The back-in sites offer the most spacious and private sites, most backing up to a pond or woods. Even though the campground caters to a Casino clientele, there is much for family campers as well with boating, fishing, playgrounds, and a pool. Tents, however, are not allowed. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is one of the best campgrounds we have ever been to! Close to the expressway with very large paved sites. The bathrooms were great. I wish we could have stayed more than one night and really enjoyed the place! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a lovely place to stay! Interior roads are paved. Pads are slightly narrow and without a patio, but they are also paved. We were able to get level with little difficulty. Side yards are enormous! Most CG's would have packed twice as many sites in each space. Each site has a picnic table, fire ring and garbage can. The entire park is made up of several small clusters of sites which gives everything a more intimate feeling than the usual mass environment. Although not wooded, there are many trees that are strategically placed, there is some landscaping between most sites and there are flowers planted throughout. Everything is very well manicured. There are many activities as listed in the previous reviews and the family atmosphere is evident with many children, pets, etc., however, you never get the feeling that you're in some kind of chaotic family madhouse. I would definitely call this more of a family-oriented resort that couples and seniors can feel comfortable in as well. The casino/hotel/restaurants are just down the road and the shuttle comes through the park regularly. WiFi signal is very weak and, even though we were told we were right across from the "repeater", it disconnected with some regularity. We were also told they have had some trouble with the system and have tried different providers. This makes a great destination place to go. You can tour the local area or just spend your time at the resort. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The park was very very nice; and exactly how others have described it. Would not hesitate to stay again. Only reason I would say anything neg. is you have to watch out for the duck doo-doo where you walk because it is everywhere. Other than that the park is about perfect. The employee's are very very nice and helpful. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We've been travelling in the Northeast for four months, and have stayed at dozens of RV
parks. This is the only one that we would rate as a "10." It is truly outstanding. This park, near the Turning Stone Casino, is on the Oneida Indian Reservation and offers paved, level sites, and every amenity. You can't do better than this one! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Beautiful campground. Every site is paved and level with full hookups. Bathrooms and
showers were very clean. Very kid friendly with a nice playground, tennis and basketball courts, swimming pool, stocked trout pond and a separate paddle boat pond. We had a great time there in April, 2004 when trying out our new RV and plan on going back again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Fishing ponds, hiking trails, swimming pool, tennis court, horseshoe pits, play area for children, paddle boats, arcade, camp store, nice laundry and shuttle to casino. Definately worth a visit. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
