Best Tent Camping near Albion, NY

Not technically in the Finger Lakes but still one of the most beautiful parts of Western New York State. Splurge and eat at the Glen Iris Inn! Great for cycling and hiking but no swimming. I love taking visitors here in all seasons but in autumn it is exceptional. I’ve stayed in a few tent sites and all are wooded and pretty private with your standard basic amenities. This is a popular park so make reservations.

The tent sites are fairly level.  Tent sites with water and electricity are well maintained and work as advertised.  There is little shade in the campground which can make tents hot during the day.  Campground services are good.  Bathrooms were generally clean and functioning.  The two pools are a nice feature in the summer heat.  Laundry area is open 24/7.  There are two dog run areas.  Camp store has essentials as well as extras.  They also have excursion packages for sale to local sites.  Staff are friendly and responsive to any issues.

Good swimming I only used Tent Camping wonderful hiking trails last time I went hiking Great place to take a family. amusement park around the corner to

What a beautiful park. Go river rafting! Only drag is the mixed rv and tent sites.

Nice sites for RVs and tent camping. Some closer than others. Very family friendly. Small pool area. Dog friendly and dog play area. Laundry room and camp store. Half hour from Niagara Falls. I highly recommend.

Great for families. Very safe, spaces were a bit small for a tent site. Great amenities pool/showers/ games for kids. Very safe feeling and friendly staff

I've always been a huge fan of KOA campgrounds since my parents always used them when I was little and we were traveling with the camper. I've stayed in cozy cabins before as well, but was tent camping here. Close to Niagara falls (probably why most of you are interested).

KOAs aren't my first choice - I don't use the extra amenities and the tent sites are often pretty out in the open. That said, usually I am happy enough with what I get and can count on almost always get a site last minute. This KOA was terrible -- the tent sites didn't have the standard nice flat KOA tent pad and the only level spots put you inches from the road. No trees, bushes, etc between them (but that's not unusual). Bathrooms (main and family cabins, which were a nice option) were not busy but also not clean at all - no set schedule and we never saw anyone cleaning them while we were there. Next to busy loud highway (not something they can do anything about, just an fyi). at least average KOA niceness for $50/night - the experience fell far short of that.

My child had a blast. the tent site wasn’t private or fancy but the rest of the facility was great. staff super nice. we arrived in middle of night and paid the next morning. very convenient. the pool is awesome.

Tent sites are nice, either 30 or 50 amp at each sight depending on what you pick. We went 4 days after they opened and raccoons we're a small issue even at a clean campsite. Saw a skunk at our campsite each night as well.

The tent sites were great and spaced apart. The owners were very friendly and there was a nice pond. Showers could need updated but it was about what I was expecting. I love little campgrounds like this so it was even better than I was hoping.

This is a large campground. Walking distance to the theme park. Campground fees include admission to the theme park. The sites are very nice and well maintained. There are campers for rent, cabins for rent, tent sites, RV sites and premium RV sites. It is a great family campground.

Stayed here to easily get back and forth to the NY side and border crossing at the falls. Nice sites and access right to the amusement park located next door. Playgrounds, pool, dog play area, cabins, tent sites and full hook up back ins and pull through sites.

The state park is breathtaking. The campground is horrendous. The restrooms were disgusting. The site barely fit our one tent (8man Coleman) even though it was advertised as a two tent site. The camp fire ring had no solid base- it just sat on the grass and fires would not stay lit. The quiet hours were not enforced. Yelling and loud music kept us up until ridiculous hours. I would not rate this as family friendly.

Letchworth has a few options: cabin, barebones cabin, and a few tent sites. I’ve stayed several times. We’ve hiked, white water rafted, gone to the pool, playgrounds, etc. The park is huge and absolutely gorgeous. You can easily spend a week here and have plenty to do in the park as well as the local towns. You can tour the dam as well. The views along the road through the park are incredible. Go to Letchworth. You will love it.

You kind of know what to expect at a KOA - pool, playground, lodge or rec space, etc - but this KOA was also quite clean, a short ride from a fun little amusement park and only a 10-15 min drive from the falls! We had so much fun - this was a great "family campground". We tent camped, but they also had hook up sites up to 50 amps and some nice looking cabins for rent. There was fishing for the kiddos, and I was surprised to find that it was a year round campground as well. Snow camping!

We our family of 5 tent camped on site 155 & 157. The sites were right next to the bathrooms/showers/laundry. The bathrooms were very clean. The showers had 2 separate privacy shower curtains and a bench to put your things in the shower stall. It was 2.25 to wash clothes. There were 2 water fountains outside the bath house. The sites were very quiet and shaded. It was short driving distance to Niagara Falls and our NY state park pass got us free parking at Niagara Falls State Park during our stay. We watched the sun set on Lake Ontario. It was a beautiful place to stay!

Our family of four plus one dog enjoyed three nights tent camping in the grassy area overlooking the gigantic playground. Our school age children spent 4-6 hours each day running around with different configurations of kids. It was convenient to be able to keep an eye on the kiddos while doing meal prep or just relaxing. The lake shore made for a great natural playground with logs, small boulders, and skipping stones. Lake sunsets don't want to be missed. Bathrooms were clean, showers warm, and the shared wash area made doing laundry and dishes easy. Sites vary from open and grassy, to waterfront or tree lined. Our family camps often and was very impressed by all this campground had to offer. A great place to stay if camping near Niagara Falls!

We stayed here at the beginning of August and brought 3 children ages 10, 9, and 5. We did not realize this campground’s sites were so close together. And most of the sites were gravel lots. If you’re coming to enjoy boating or the like, it is probably about perfect. As long as you don’t mind the dust and dirt from all of the gravel and the mediocre bath houses. Their swimming pools were very nice on the other hand. They had a 1-1.5 foot kiddie pool and a large graduating pool with the water being about 80 degrees is guess. They also have a jacuzzi. There are water and electric hook ups which is nice even when tent camping. It isn’t exactly what we expected, but there are lots of trails through the woods and of course you have the Allegheny there. The campground isn’t exactly beautiful but we’ve decided to give it a chance. We will try a cabin next time and see if the nicer lots make the whole experience that much better.
