Tompkins

Well maintained. Large spaces. Beautiful place. Lots of options for water activity. The only "negative" had nothing to do with the site or accommodations, but rather a few dog owners who let their dogs carry on way too much. Unfortunate. We will definitely be back. Do note there is almost NO Cell reception onsite. Need to walk way over to far dock to get 1x signal on Verizon towers. That did provide for a more relaxed and "quiet" stay away from the typical "intrusions"

We have been going to Tompkins for about 6 years now. Never have we seen such a mess of overflowing garbage, as on Friday when we arrived the dumpsters were overflowing, which is a health hazard with all of the wildlife around, and dogs that bark all day and night long. And the children, they have no supervision while swimming or riding their bicycles. I fear for their safety. How many dogs are allowed in one site? We saw one camper with 5 dogs. We also had an encounter with the Club People, who evidently own the dock on the lake, something about a 99 year lease, and give everyone a hard time if they not remove their boat from the water after a one time use. We have brought our boat their for years and never heard of this. We thought that campers could dock their boat as long as there was room, but we were wrong. We have reservations for Labor Day weekend and we are hoping that it will be a more positive experience. We were very disappointed in Tompkins, I hope that someone reads this and tries to correct the problems. Also please empty the dumpsters Friday morning, that would solve the overflowing problem.

I was very impressed with the Ladies that patrolled and kept things in order, very professional and fair ! explained everything and ensured that it was understood ! they kept control and was very business like in their responses to questions ! they where accessible and ready to answer any questions or inquires ! was not impressed with the fact that the boat launch docks where leased or held private for a club to reserve for them and not the campers, after all this is a government place and the tax payers are paying for it , why is this allowed ??

Our favorite campground if we are in the Bench loop, right at the water because we have a boat! Near the PA Grand Canyon in Wellsboro, PA and also Corning, NY.

The soap dispenser was out of soap in the women's bathroom our entire stay but otherwise, the campsite was very nice and we had a great time.

We had a great site, lots of things you could do or just sit and relax.
