Kingtown Beach

Cottages, Campsites, and Carryout


Kingtown Beach and Cayuga Lake

Kingtown Beach is located in the heart of the Finger Lakes in Trumansburg, New York, on the west shore of beautiful Cayuga lake. Secluded by woods, the cottages and campsites sit overlooking the lake, with a short walk to the stony beach area and docks. Our season opens the weekend of May 15 and we close the weekend of October 15. We rent two-bedroom cottages, campsites, and boat hoists. They are preferably rented by the season but we will rent on a nightly, weekly, and monthly basis.

Cayuga Lake, part of the Barge Canal System, is 42 miles long and the deepest spot is 435 feet with 3 1/2 miles being the widest. The lake is good for water skiing, jet skiing, boating, and fishing. It contains landlocked salmon, lake, brown, and rainbow trout, pickeral, pike, perch, bass, and smelt in the spring.

History of Kingtown Beach

Kingtown Beach Cottages was established and built in 1968 by Chuck and Marge Fulton, consisting of four two-bedroom efficiency cottages. In 1972, the Fultons, with the help of family and friends cleared the upper wooded area above the cottages for a camping area, now consisting of 18 full hookup campsites. So where as, it became Kingtown Beach Cottages and Campsites. They also sold gas to boaters and had boat hoists that they rented. In 1987, Tom and Jill Reed bought the property from Jill's parents, from which they ran the business in the same way. In 1989, Tom and Jill decided to build a mini grocery store and carry out on the beach for the boaters to enjoy having somewhere to stop and have a hamburg or hotdog, something to drink, or an ice cream cone while fueling their boat. Now it is called Kingtown Beach Cottages, Campsites, and Carryout.
