When is the best time to start an RV trip from Rochester?
Plan around the camping season. Letchworth's 2026 campground season runs from 15 May to 12 October, and Watkins Glen's gorge trail closes for the season in late October and reopens in mid to late May. That makes late spring to early autumn the reliable window for the state parks, with September and early October good for quieter sites. Check dates each year on the Watkins Glen State Park page.
