Hi Tim!
We just moved away from Rochester, otherwise you could have camped
in our driveway. Rochester is a fairly big metropolitan area so there
won't be any campgrounds inside Rochester. The nicest ones I know about
are 45min to 1h drive out:
1: Tughannoch (sp) State park on Rte 96 south towards Ithaca. Park
borders beautiful Cayuga lake and a short hike upstream is Tughannoch
falls which cascades several hundred feet into a bowl shaped canyon.
Also don't miss driving Rte 96 or any other of the finger lakes roads.
Real pretty!
2: Several shore state parks along lake ontario. Great beaches and
swimming! Going east a bit on the lake ontario parkway you will
find Hamlin beach state park.

For real close by sleeping you can probably stealth camp in any of the
UofR parking lots. "Park lot" is right next to Genesee river park and
very quiet. Enter main entrance off Elmwood avenue, turn right just before
the parking attentant booth, another right at the power plant with the big smoke stack. First lot on the right is gated faculty parking. Second lot on
is ungated grad student parking, and has a sign "Park lot". A short
walk east through the trees takes you the river park. During business
hours you can also pull up to the booth and buy a $3 pass.
Cheers,
Martin

My son will be attending an open house at RIT the weekend of 08/04 -> 08/06.
I am wondering if there are any campgrounds nearby.
I have the option of a $49 airfare from JFK, but would like to take my
camper up
and see the area if there is someplace close to stay.
Thanks
