Camping Honeoye Lake

Caution, there's nowhere to tent or RV camp on Honeoye Lake.

Where can I camp on Honeoye Lake?

I'm going to warn you - be wary of other sources on the internet telling you where to camp on Honeoye Lake - their information seems to be incorrect. 

How do I know this? Because I called around and did my research.

So what's the deal?

There's actually nowhere to camp ON Honeoye Lake if you're looking to tent camp or RV. 

Rent a cabin or house on the lake? Yes, sure. Camp in a tent? No.

Can I camp in the Harriet Hollister Spencer Recreation Area?

Honeoye Lake from Harriet Hollister Spencer Recreation Area. It's still worth a visit, even if you can't camp there!

Short answer: No. 

Some information on the web states differently, but I called the number on the Harriet Hollister Spencer Recreation Area website and was told that camping is not allowed. The recreation area closes at dusk and all visitors need to be out by dark. 

Feel free to give them a call yourself: (585) 335-8111.

I'm sometimes a 'fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants' kinda person, especially when travelling. But this is definitely a case in which you'll want to have done your homework. Getting caught camping in a no-camping area can result in a hefty fine that is totally avoidable. 

Is there camping NEAR Honeoye Lake?

There is tent and RV camping regionally that will place you within easy driving distance of Honeoye Lake and all the beauty it gives.
