What is worth choosing about Sunflower Acres is the authentic "camping" atmosphere that it manages to maintain despite its modern upgrades. It is a place where building a fire and spending time outdoors are the primary goals of every guest. While the park is continually growing—with new sites and improved utilities being added—the heart of the experience remains the same: family-focused fun in a beautiful New York setting. It is worth choosing for the phenomenal service of the owners, Mark and Tracey, who go out of their way to treat every camper like a member of their own family.

The combination of a quiet, rural environment and a high-energy activity schedule makes it a standout choice for those who want their kids to stay active. From fishing tournaments in the lake to crafts and games, there is never a dull moment. At the same time, the peaceful nature of the surrounding woods ensures that those looking for a quiet retreat can find their own slice of heaven. Whether you are coming with a large RV rig or just a simple tent, Sunflower Acres Family Campground provides the space, the amenities, and the warm welcome that every New York traveler deserves. Would you like me to help you draft a checklist of camping essentials for your first trip to the Southern Tier?

Owners and staff are phenomenal people. Campground is really clean and quiet. Many activities to keep everyone occupied. Beautiful pool area to just sit and relax even if you don't swim. I would have preferred a different site but that's normal for me. We will be returning again.

More of a 3.3 rating. This was our first time to stay at Sunflower acres. Let me preface this with the fact that we are full-time RVers so we stay in hundreds of parks over the past six years. Sunflower is a “camping” campground. Most people who stay here are seasonal and come here for the outdoors and to build a fire. Seriously, these guys have lots of fires. The setting of the campground is very pretty. They have done some nice upgrades, mainly to the pool area. The main reason we have rated this campground a little lower is because of the new sites where we were put. They built out a new area and these sites are very narrow and built on total gravel rocks. With all the land available, they did not make these into real sites. It was tough to park our rig. The campsite is bordered only with railroad ties. And we felt like we were on top of each other with those staying in the other sites. They have plenty of land where they could have made this a much nicer area. The utilities, mainly they sewer, is very far from where it should be. I had to connect two large hoses and my neighbor had four hoses. The water pressure was almost nonexistent at times. We filled our fresh tank many times just so we could shower. The roads to the campground are very narrow with lots of low hanging trees. If you’re looking for a place to spend a week camping outdoors, this might be your place. For us I don’t think we will come back. Also, cell service was very spotty and they charge for Wi-Fi. So don’t come expecting to use any Internet or streaming. I will give them credit in that the British owners are very sweet people. I just wish the campground was laid out better.

This was our 1st time at a real campground. The owner was very nice and super helpful. We decided to stay another night on short notice. Owner was very accommodating. He let us stay in the same spot so we didn't have to pack back up and move over 1 spot. The pool was very clean and well kept. The sites are spacious and pretty level. Bathrooms and showers were very clean. The campground is not that far from gas stations and stores. If you bring a motorcycle, there are plenty of nice curvy roads with nice views.

We stayed here for a couple weekends and loved it . So we decided to get a seasonal. We always have a great time here. The owners are very sweet and try to accommodate and find Solutions to pretty much everything. The people are very friendly. They have great entertainment!

Re: our recent stay T4First off, our full fee was collected back in January without so much as a receipt or email confirmation; not just a deposit, but full fee for our July trip.We, 6 units, were told we would have pull through sites ( two had cars on, that had to be taken off first; more stress) and be in the brand "new area"; great!..The website shows lots of trees and grass but not for us; we were where used trailers are usually stacked.Not only were the sites so very close, but it's all stones, the septic is up front right where you are sitting and eating; very poorly planned "new area";And, by the way, eating only as we had to ask for picnic tables to be brought down to us from others sites or we would not have had any at all!!The camp store was closed a lot and we had to go out daily as there was no ice! its 93 all week and no ice; you need a back up, to the back up.Stones were not level, much stress getting level and each day brought doors not shutting, water pressure low and having to jack up and attempt to level again, which is probably why my refrigerator was not working properly, you need to be level and things on stones were never level!There was a nice pool, albeit, the 3 days we used it, I had to use the skimmer to clean all the bugs floating, not sure the skimmer units work very well.The saving grace was the band hired to entertain on sat night, and your staff was very helpful and courteous.We camp a lot and have never had this experience; this "new area" is not good and I do not think you should rent it out as is.Thank you,B MarchandHawley, Pa 18428
