RV Dump Stations In Bath, New York

The most reliable dump stations in Bath are at the local campgrounds. Hickory Hill Camping Resort has full hookups and a dump station, and Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park at Finger Lakes offers the same around its lake. Smaller parks like Camp Bell and Campers Haven are options too. For a public site, Keuka Lake State Park about 15 miles north has a dump station along the lake. We list a total of several stations in the area, all paid or campground-guest access, so plan on a small fee rather than a free municipal dump. Most run May through October.

No developed free dump station exists in town. All several of the stations we list around Bath are at campgrounds or the state park (a portion paid, a portion free). That is typical for a Finger Lakes town, where dumping is handled by the many family campgrounds and by Keuka Lake State Park rather than a city facility. The good news is the fee is modest, usually five to fifteen dollars for drop-ins, and it is often included if you stay the night. To avoid a separate charge, book an overnight at one of the campgrounds and dumping comes with the site.

Expect a small fee since the stations here are at campgrounds and the state park. Non-guest dump fees typically run in the five to fifteen dollar range, while staying guests usually get dump access included with their site. Hickory Hill and Jellystone both follow this pattern. There is no free town dump station in Bath. The most economical approach is to combine dumping with an overnight stay, which effectively makes the dump free, or to call ahead and confirm the drop-in rate and hours before you arrive, since some parks limit non-guest dumping to certain times of day.

Usually yes, but call ahead. The private campgrounds around Bath, including Hickory Hill and Jellystone, generally allow non-guests to dump for a small fee, but some limit drop-in access to certain hours or ask you to check in at the office first. A quick phone call confirms the fee, the hours, and whether they can take you at that moment. Keuka Lake State Park ties dumping to camping there. Being courteous and keeping the station clean goes a long way at these family parks and helps keep drop-in dumping available for the next traveler passing through the Finger Lakes.

I-86, also signed NY-17 and called the Southern Tier Expressway, runs right through Bath and is the main route, linking the Hudson Valley with the western Finger Lakes. US-15/I-99 heads south to Corning and Pennsylvania, NY-54 runs northeast to Keuka Lake and Hammondsport, and NY-415 serves the local area. All are big-rig friendly, with I-86 and US-15 being four-lane and NY-54 a scenic two-lane. The Bath campgrounds sit just off these roads, so reaching a dump station never means squeezing a large rig through tight downtown streets. Corning is only about 15 miles east.

Summer and early fall are the sweet spots. Summer brings warm, pleasant weather and peak Finger Lakes winery and camping season, though campgrounds are busy, so reserve ahead. Fall offers crisp days and excellent foliage, a top time to visit, with many campgrounds open through October. Spring is quieter, greening up by May as parks reopen after mud season. Winters are cold and snowy with lake-effect snow, and most campgrounds close, so dump stations are largely unavailable off-season. Aim for June through October for the best weather and reliable access to dumping and hookups.

Yes, several. Hickory Hill Camping Resort in Bath offers premium full-hookup sites with 50/30-amp electric, water, sewer, and cable, plus concrete patios and a dump station. Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park at Finger Lakes has full hookups around a 10-acre lake with a pool, mini golf, and a rec hall. Camp Bell and Campers Haven add more family-friendly sites with pools and pond fishing. For a public option, Keuka Lake State Park about 15 miles north has electric sites and a dump station. Between them, Bath has some of the best full-hookup camping in the Finger Lakes.

Most do not. Finger Lakes campgrounds, including those in Bath, generally run May through October and close for the snowy winter, when water spigots freeze and dump stations are largely unavailable. Before you plan a cold-weather stop that depends on a campground dump, call ahead to confirm the current season and hours. If everything local is closed, you may need to plan your dumping around a facility farther afield that operates year-round. For most of the camping season, though, you will have plenty of full-hookup options with dump stations open and ready in and around Bath.

Quite a lot. The Corning Museum of Glass, about 15 miles east, is a world-class attraction with live glassblowing demonstrations and hands-on studios, and the Rockwell Museum of American and Western art is right in downtown Corning. Keuka Lake wine country and the village of Hammondsport, home to the Glenn H. Curtiss aviation museum, sit about 15 to 20 miles north. The famous gorge trail with waterfalls at Watkins Glen State Park is roughly 30 miles east. Between the museums, the wineries, and the Finger Lakes scenery, Bath makes an excellent base for several days.

Potable water is available at the Bath campgrounds and Keuka Lake State Park, so you can top off your fresh tank right after dumping. Propane is sold by suppliers in Bath and nearby Corning and at the campgrounds themselves. Fuel and diesel are easy to find along I-86 and US-15, and full grocery and retail are in Bath and Corning about 15 miles east. Because the area is a well-developed tourist region, you can refuel, refill water, get propane, and dump all within a short drive, which makes Bath a convenient service stop on a Finger Lakes trip.

Yes, it is well placed. Keuka Lake, one of the prettiest of the Finger Lakes with its Y shape, is only about 15 miles north, and its wine trail and the village of Hammondsport are easy day trips. Seneca and other lakes with their own wineries are within reasonable reach as well. Basing at a full-hookup campground in Bath, such as Hickory Hill or Jellystone, gives you a comfortable home with a dump station while you tour tasting rooms. Just remember to plan a designated driver, and note that winery season peaks in summer and fall when campgrounds are busiest.

No permit is required to use the commercial dump stations at Bath campgrounds; you simply pay the drop-in fee or dump as part of your overnight stay. There is no city-run dump station that would require registration. At Keuka Lake State Park, dumping is tied to the normal camping and day-use fees rather than a separate permit. The only things to plan for are the small fee, calling ahead at the smaller parks to confirm hours, and the seasonal closures in winter. Keep the station clean and follow each park's courtesy rules and you will have no trouble emptying your tanks.

Off-season dumping takes planning because most Finger Lakes campgrounds close from late fall through spring, when snow and freezing temperatures shut down water systems and dump stations. If you are traveling through Bath in winter or early spring, call ahead to find out which, if any, facilities are open, and be prepared to dump at a year-round station farther along your route. Keep your own hoses drained between uses to prevent freezing. For a smooth trip, try to schedule your Finger Lakes visit within the May-to-October camping season, when full-hookup sites and dump stations are readily available.
