There were people camping at the marina in Middleport, so that should be fine.
Edit: Yeah, looks like Holley no longer allows camping:
http://www.nyscanals.gov/exvac/trail/campsites.html It definitely was listed on this page last year, and is now gone.
That's irritating. Middleport isn't listed either, but looking at Google Maps there's space up the trail a ways that should be workable as a campsite. They're both listed as having campsites on the Java map, so I don't know.
Near Holley there's this place:

That should be usable worst-case.
