Yellow Lantern Kampground (YLK) was built upon the former Graham Farm on the outskirts of Cortland, located in the Finger Lakes region of Upstate New York in the United States. Phase One of construction began on January 8th, 1972 with the facility open to customers shortly thereafter on June 28th. Originally built with 50 campsites, an office, gift shop, laundry and restroom facilities, Yellow Lantern Kampground has expanded to include over 225 sites, recreation building, swimming facilities and visitor access to the natural beauty of the Tioughnioga River.
In 1987, Yellow Lantern Kampground underwent a change in ownership and was subsequently purchased by a family in Upstate New York. The new owners implemented many initiatives and introduced one of the hallmarks of Yellow Lantern Kampground, the ever-popular themed weekend. Among them is the annual Christmas in July event, which includes tree-trimming, themed activities and culminates with a visit by Santa Claus. This is followed by Halloween in August, which is marked by haunted hayrides, apple cider and camper-to-camper trick-or-treating. As popular as the themed weekends have become, visitors to Yellow Lantern Kampground can also experience bi-weekly activities including candy hunts, scavenger hunts, bowling for groceries, hayrides and much, much more!
Years of old and new traditions, picturesque surroundings and a warm staff have created the perfect family atmosphere. May your family share in the Yellow Lantern Kampground experience.
