ASP was the first place we stayed on our long-term camping trip throughout various parks in NY. And, considering it was a holiday weekend, I was expecting it to be busy so I made reservations well in advance. First, we rolled into the place and checked in at the Quaker House area. We went to our site and we sat... More

ASP is a beautiful park - it will meet your greatest expectations. If you stay at Red House campground - lower your expectations.
