Traveling to Hamlin by RV

Route 18 serves as the main artery through Hamlin, connecting directly to Interstate 390 about 15 miles south near Scottsville. From Rochester, take I-390 north to Route 18 west, then follow signs toward Hamlin Beach State Park. The route handles RVs well, with no significant grade changes or width restrictions.

Coming from the east, Route 104 provides a straight shot from Rochester, though it does pass through several small towns with reduced speed zones. Watch for the Route 18 junction near Hamlin Center. From the west, Route 18 continues along the lakeshore from Brockport and beyond.

Overnight parking options are limited in downtown Hamlin itself. The Walmart in nearby Brockport (about 8 miles east) typically allows overnight RV parking, though it's always smart to check with management first. Several 24-hour gas stations along Route 104 have large enough lots for RV parking, but call ahead.

Winter travel requires extra caution due to lake-effect snow. Route 18 along the shoreline can get hit hard when winds blow off Lake Ontario. The state maintains these roads well, but conditions can change quickly between November and March.
