Carterville Acres Campground

Just had a lovely weekend at Carterville Acres campground. My family and I stayed in the newly renovated cabins that also have heaters. The cabins have a queen sized bed along with bunk beds and still have plenty room to get ready. The cabin also had a dorm sized fridge along with microwave. The new owners are making great improvements in the property and buildings. I believe this will become a popular place for my family and I to visit.

Only 45 minutes from Syracuse makes this spot a great retreat with a small group. We rented a few cabins and used the lodge and outdoor picnic tables for group meals and activities. There’s easy everything: parking, stocked bathrooms, firewood on site, games and family activities, etc. The cabins are nice and certainly big enough for 3-4 people or a family. Private and quiet. Each cabin has a picnic table, porch and Adirondack chair with a small fire pit. But the community spaces are great.

Had an incredible overnight with a group of friends and couldn’t have found a better location. The picnic area and lodge was a perfect place for us to gather, set up snacks and meals, and even do some crafting. The cabins were incredibly cozy, clean, and felt very up to date, with amenities like electrical plugs, a fridge and a heater. And the lake was quiet and lovely. The entire feel was so idyllic - would give it more stars if I could!

We have had 2 low key camp-outs/retreats here - a “moms getaway” and a family camping weekend with several friend groups and their kids. Great experience overall. We stayed in the cabins both times and it felt more like a retreat than camping. Kids loved the creek, the pond, the playground, and using the kayaks. We (adults) loved having mini fridges and electric heat in the cabins, and the community fire pit area for group hangouts.

Kids are having a great time! Love the beautiful scenery, and owners are gracious, kind, and very helpful!! My new favorite place to camp!
