CAMPING
Camping the last weekend in April is a little iffy here. You will have to call around the middle of April to see if these campgrounds will be open. Most say they often are open at Energy Fair time. Rates are generally in the $18-20 range for a hook-up campsite.
Riverside Campground, Brasher Falls, NY 315-389-4771

Hillside Motel and Campground, Smith Drive, Massena, NY 315-769-5403

Lakeside General Store, Cranberry Lake, NY 315-848-2501 (This campground is in the Adirondack Park on a large lake, but is about an hour from the SUNY Canton campus. Instead of turning on Rt. 56 to come north, continue on Rt. 3 another 5 miles or so into the village of Cranberry Lake.)

There will be limited free vehicle camping in Parking Lot 1 on the SUNY Canton campus. No hook ups. Please inquire to register at 315-379-9466 or email fair@ncenergy.org In addition to name, email, phone and address, we will need your plate number and description of vehicle.
