Big lake, nice campground, most sites have electric and water, some with sewer. Clean bathrooms. A few hiking trails. About 35 min drive to Wellsboro .

We love Tompkins Cowanesque campground. Very peaceful on the Knoll loop or if you prefer, the Bench loop has more going on. Boating on the lake is beautiful. They have sufficient playgrounds and a beach area for swimming. Cell service is spotty but there are areas by the lake that we go to when we need to use our phones. The campground is minutes from Corning, NY and other small communities. We hope this campground can stay open after labor day every year. Fall camping is the best in the area!

beautiful area. Bench sites are wonderful. quiet most of the time. sites are large and spaced nicely. waterfront sites are especially nice. campground hosts were out and about, cleaning sites up, even blowing leaves off of parking pads. our site was clean and they are very well maintained. will definitely camp here again. no issues parking our 5th wheel on the site. plenty of room, no issues leveling.

Amazing morning view of the lake spots are a bit close to each other but not too bad, my only complaint is that there were a lot of people with dogs from the tv side that walked to the tent side and did not clean up after their dogs
