Most developed campgrounds provide showers, toilets, and picnic tables, while primitive camping opportunities can be found at East Otto State Forest approximately 30 miles southeast of Angola. Reservations are strongly recommended during summer months when lakefront sites fill quickly. A camper noted, "Lake Erie State Park is right on the lake near the PA border. Flat short trails through the forests or walk along the beach... Amazing sunsets right from your tent."

Waterfront access represents the primary draw for many camping areas in the region, with several campgrounds offering direct views of Lake Erie. Campers consistently rate sunset views over the lake as a highlight of their stays. The proximity to both natural areas and nearby attractions like Niagara Falls (about 45 minutes away) makes this region particularly appealing for multi-day visits. Campgrounds near Angola tend to be well-maintained with clean facilities. One review mentioned, "Views of Lake Erie are spectacular. Nice walking trails, and there's a disc-golf course and playground. Bathhouses are clean." Travelers should note that sites with lake views are the most popular and should be reserved well in advance, especially for weekend stays during summer months.

    Niagara County Camping Resort

    Niagra County Camping Resort

    Arrived late at night to this established site. This is a mixed accommodation campground with established long term residents & short term sites.

    Some sites include a table, power access and tire rim for fire-ring. Showers & flushing toilets are near RV sites in back area. Small camp store, swimming pond & fishing pond. Manager, Christine very nice & helpful.

    Campground is relatively close to scenic drives along Lake Ontario & Niagra State Park, Niagra Falls.

    Westfield-Lake Erie KOA

    Overnighter

    We only stayed for an overnighter on a long trip west. The restrooms and showers are some of the best we’ve seen during our trip. Very well maintained facilities and grounds and the staff are friendly and helpful. We were able to change our site for one that was more level without a problem. The only thing that might bother some people is the road noise. However we were able to sleep well despite it. There is also a dog “park”/fenced area.

    Kid friendly but Bee Problem

    We had a lot of fun here and there’s a lot of activities for kids I would typically give this campsite 5 stars but our only problem was there were bees everywhere. I get some bees are apart of the camping experience and nature but we’ve never ran into this problem elsewhere. They were all over the campground it was very unpleasant and there was a nest under the playground we did advise management of.

    Four Mile Creek State Park Campground

    Niagara Falls visit

    We stayed here when seeing the falls easy 18 min drive to the falls. One perk we were not aware of was free parking at one of the three New Yark park parking lots with our campground pass. Showers clean and warm. Staff helpful and friendly.

    Rip off

    Have to stay at least 2 nights. Employees say one thing. Then boss charges me even though I was told it was okay. Aren't willing to reason with. Also traffic very loud at night

    Lake Erie State Park Campground

    Great overnight stop

    Stayed one night on a long drive.  Beautiful views of lake.  Amazing grassy fields right by campsites.  Full park but still quiet with good spacing between outer ring spots.

    Niagara Woodland Campground

    Good for the price

    Have to say enjoyed my stay, yes lots of year around campers with permanent spots, but lots of activities during my stay and didn’t bother me at all. Meet the owner very nice guy loan me his father tiedown steaks. Plenty of kids having fun by the pool. So I didn’t have to entertain my boys. It’s a well seasoned campground. So on the older side. But didn’t stop us from having a good trip overall
