Belden Hill Campground

When you’re camping at Belden Hill Campground, you can pick up grocery supplies in nearby Harpursville.

Alternatively, you can make the 20-minute drive into Binghamton for a more extensive range of services or head to the retail stores in Johnson City. Camp in an RV near Harpursville and spend a day exploring Binghamton, which serves as the seat of Broome County. Take a step back in time to discover the opulent Gilded Age on a tour of the Phelps Mansion Museum or admire the Italian Renaissance architecture of the Roberson Mansion. Designed by local architect C. Edward Vosbury, it’s now listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is said to be haunted by the ghost of its former owner, Alonzo Roberson. If you’re traveling with kids, make a point of visiting the long-established Binghamton Zoo at Ross Park to get up close to their big cats or get hands-on with the exhibits of the Discovery Center of the Southern Tier. Children can learn life skills while shopping in the replica Weis Market, reporting on the news at the TV station, or creating works of art in Studio 60. The center is also home to an award-winning Story Garden that features 13 interactive areas based on popular children’s stories. Also in Binghamton is the Bundy Museum of History And Art, which houses two art galleries and the community’s only darkroom. It was once owned by Harlow E. Bundy, the cofounder of the Bundy Manufacturing Company that made a name for its time-recording clocks used by businesses around the world. Admire the Queen Anne-style architecture, then step inside to explore the interior rooms and outdoor carriage house where you’ll find a theater and a re-created vintage barbershop. Whether you want to explore the recreational pursuits surrounding Harpursville or see the sights of Binghamton, book an RV in Broome County and start planning your next vacation.
