Oft overlooked, Syracuse is full of classic restaurants, tranquil lakes, and RV campgrounds.
Visit a Syracuse RV park in any season and you're guaranteed to peep bright orange. Even when the scenery's leaves are green, the city bursts with its university’s orange spirit and local charm. At an RV campsite in western New York, campers are certain to experience the pride of Syracuse via a walk at Clark Reservation State Park or a visit to Pleasant Lake Campground. Roast hot dogs at an RV campsite with a grill and fire pit, or stop at Hyde's for the true Syracuse white hot experience. For a rental closer to the city, the New York State Fairgrounds—America’s original state fair—houses the Empire RV Park, which remains open from late spring to mid-fall. Here, you can find rentals with restrooms, though for more secluded views, head to any of the region’s trademark lakes. Onondaga Lake, with the adjoining Onondaga Lake Park, is within miles of the city, while the Finger Lakes are a quick drive away.
