About
Darien Lakes State Park campground sits on over 1,800 acres of rolling terrain in Genesee County, featuring mixed woodlands, scenic ravines, and the centerpiece 12-acre Harlow Lake. The 154 campsites accommodate both tent campers and RV users, with 141 sites offering electric hookups at 15, 20, 30, or 50 amps and 13 primitive sites for those seeking a more rustic experience. Sites can accommodate RVs and trailers up to 45 feet, though all driveways are back-in style. The campground provides heated comfort stations with flush toilets and hot showers, a dump station for RV waste disposal, and water fill stations. Each site includes a picnic table and post grill. Pets are welcome on all sites with a maximum of two per site, kept on leashes no longer than six feet, and must have current rabies vaccination. Recreation options abound with a swimming beach staffed by seasonal lifeguards, fishing opportunities at Harlow Lake, an extensive trail system for hiking and horseback riding, disc golf course, basketball courts, and playground. Winter visitors can enjoy cross-country skiing and snowmobiling on designated trails.
