Yellow Lantern Kamp Grounds

What a lovely experience. Sandy and her husband were so accommodating. We did not arrive until 10pm and they welcomed us and were so helpful. I would disregard the bad reviews on here. There are a set of rules to follow at all campgrounds and the more negative reviews are from the rule breakers! ❤️ We stayed here again on our way back home, 8/25. Another great stay and Sandy was so accommodating again. We did not arrive until 8pm. Thank you and see you again in October! 😉

This is a late review. This campground was beautiful and quiet. We were too far from the office for the wi-fi to work well but that’s not too important to us. The staff was friendly. They readily allowed us to stay past check out time to finish a time sensitive issue.

The staff was extremely unfriendly! We arrived on bikes and while one of us waited at the office, the other one just had a quick look at the place to see if it would suit us. We were told that this had been trespassing. The manager even accused us to have used the restrooms! Finally she claimed that they don’t take tents, even though we had seen tents on the photos on Google. The campground is on nice grounds, and it was almost completely empty, but the staff is extremely unfriendly!

We had a great experience as a family at the yellow lantern. This is our 3rd year camping there! The kids enjoyed playing in the pool, riding their bikes and playing on the playground. It was a very quiet and peaceful campground. Thank you for a wonderful time!

I stayed for a leisurely eight days at Yellow Lantern Campground. The location is quiet, off the Interstate, on 40 acres outside of Cortland, NY. The campground is a beautiful park environment, mowed, edged, clean. Tall trees are throughout. This is not a dirt and gravel campground. The owners keep it quiet by restricting visitors...only registered guests allowed in, so no drive throughs. Guests are not invited to the pool. There were children and families camping throughout. Everyone was respectful, pleasant company. Sites were grassy with gravel to park on, and relatively flat and level. The main loop road is blacktop, others are graded gravel. My site had 30 amp, but 50 amp is available. Campground water is crystal clear and tastes good, but I still used my filter for city water hookup from habit. My site has sewer. There is a dump site easily accessible from both sides, inside the exit gate. Fee for full hookup was $55.00 per night, with a $50 air conditioner fee, and a $10 refundable electric gate card. There are monthly rates, but not weekly rates. Would I recommend this to my family? Yes. If passing through central NY, I would stay again happily.
