Great Lakes camping in Western NY

Between Buffalo/Niagara Falls and Rochester on Lake Ontario, this park gives you a rocky and a sandy shoreline with gentle waves to lull you to sleep. Watch the sunrise/sunset over the lake! Excellent birding on site and in nearby Braddock Bay. Green open spaces for kids to play. Lots of activities all year. Easy hiking through the woods, marshes, and along the beach. They do close the beach sometimes for health concerns, check with the rangers.

Very affordable. Bring bugspray and make sure your bug screen on your tent is intact. Quality clean and well-run state park. Tons of campsites. Some shady areas. Hot showers & real toilets. Camp here for a few days and explore the area, it's close to highways but feels like it's in the middle of nowhere.
