  Four Mile Creek State Park Campground

  lakeside 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!

  Horrible Customer Service

  I would like to start off by saying this was our first time visiting the Medina Wildwood Koa and unfortunately it will have to be our last. Our camp ground it’s self was great. Lots of space, a picnic bench, a fire pit, a grill and even a lake you can fish/rent boats to go on right behind us!

  There were many different ways to keep busy and have fun. We were able to float in tubes at the creek, go swimming, rent a peddle boat, play at the playground, rent a golf cart, and jump on a big jumping pillow. And I must say the bathrooms were pristine and air conditioned! Loved that!!

  The major problem with this campground is the very rude people. Not only was the customer service absolutely horrible and spoke to not only adults but also children in a very rude harsh way making us ALL feel incompetent/uneducated but the regulars at this campground are just as rude and disrespectful. How can you ever feel welcome or want to come back to a campground with staff saying things like: “You must not know how to read” and clearing there throats very loudly with their arms crossed before telling us other things we may have been doing wrong very sarcastically.

  I do admit that we did do some things the wrong way and as soon as we found out or saw on our own we corrected them. It’s just not something I would ever want to endure again especially since my kids feelings were hurt the most and this was ment for them to have fun.

  Four Mile Creek State Park Campground

  Field Camping

  It's not all bad! It took a while to find our site in the dark as site markers are small. The sites are decent size, the bathrooms are clean but spiders will hang out. Showers are hot. Sites are available with electric and there is an RV dump station if you have one. There are a lot of RVs at this campground, a large playground, and a field with soccer goals (no net). Niagara Falls is 15 or so miles away, and Buffalo NY is a short drive. The bathroom building has an outdoor sink with heated water, and this is also where the trash bins are.  Firewood is available in front of many nearby homes (a couple of miles, max,and $4-5 a bundle). The fire pits are either low or leaning, so we found a camp stove to be essential. It can get quite windy, we saw a tent buckle and our stakes were pulled up from the wind. It can get loud at night and it doesn't seem as if quiet hours are enforced. I'd stay again but only if a more private campground was unavailable.

  Niagaras Lazy Lakes Camping Resort

  Clean & Friendly

  We have camped here several times. Bathrooms are very clean along with the showers. They are cleaned on a daily basis. Store on site has just the bare amenities. Big clubhouse, 2 heated pools and a pond to fish (catch & release). Sites are big. Pet friendly. Staff are very friendly. 10-15 minutes from Niagara Falls and close to stores. It does have 2 on site laundry facilities but the dryers take a while. Enjoy going there.

  Golden Hill State Park Campground

  Quiet Campground Over Lake Ontario

  We camped at Golden Hill over the weekend of July 24-26, 2020. Due to COVID, advance reservations are required to book a spot at any NY state campground. We had site 47 in loop C, which was across the road from the lake view sites. I recommend sites 40-45 for lake-front views. Loops A and B were more crowded and more suitable to RV trailers and rigs (we were camping in a pop-up camper). Site 47 was large and had a few trees. The campfire ring was right against the pad, which made it difficult to position our pop-up so that it was away from the fire ring. 

  Things to consider: There are 2 bathrooms in the campground, one near the A-B loops and one near the entrance. It was quite a hike in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom from our site. Some sites in the A-B loops are right next to each other, and we preferred the space for the sites in the C loop. 

  Wonderful things: The views are spectacular, particularly at sunset. The campground was quiet at night. The Niagara Wine trail is close to this campground, and Niagara Falls is about a 50 minute drive away. We hiked Devil's Hole and Whirlpool State Parks on this camping trip. The showers in the bathrooms were phenomenal - very clean with hot water and a private dressing area next to the shower. Showers were ADA compliant and had shower seats.

  HTR Niagara Campground

  Neat retreat near the Falls

  Great location just 15 minutes from American Falls. Staff is friendly and professional making check-in a breeze. The camp store is a cute, well-stocked and organized "camping boutique". Everything is brand new, modern, immaculately clean. Wish there were more trees and maybe, in time, there will be. The pool is a lazy river, which makes for a relaxing pool deck. I think they're putting in another pool (hopefully larger or more open). Plenty for families to do: mini golf, kayak, basketball, fish, zipline, playground. Bathrooms and showers were IMMACULATE! The campsites are not secluded but, as I said, there may be more trees as time goes on.

  Four Mile Creek State Park Campground

  Big sites on Lake Ontario close to Niagara Falls.

  We had a site with electric hook up and you fill with water. There are fill stations all throughout the campground. Very well maintained park. Very green and lush with nice sunset views over lake Ontario. There's not much privacy yet some do have a little privacy. Our site #222 was large and level. We had some shade. We had 2 fire pits one near our camper and another near the lake. 

  There is a little camp store open on weekends only and they sell firewood at the store. You have to back your rig in they do not let you pull in sideways if you do they will make you move it. 

  On a normal day you can see the skyline of Toronto yet the wild fires kept things hazy. We weren't bothered by smoke just hazy. 

  The bath houses are very nice and clean. There is a laundry room at every bath house. The volunteers/staff were very nice and helpful.

  The birds were amazing we enjoyed watching them and listening to them sing. We had a yellow warbler that landed on the window of the camper that would look in at us. I think it saw it's reflection. Every day it visited a lot. 

  This campground is about 15 minutes from Niagara Falls. The drive to Niagara is beautiful along the scenic byway. There are small state parks all along the way with different over looks like whirlpool state park a favorite. There is a Devils hole was pretty too. You can walk from park to park along a trail along the river. It is beautiful. 

  With your hang tag frotthe campground you can park for free at Niagara Falls. The lot says to pay and you push the button for help they ask you a few things and you get in free. 

  On the way back from Niagara falls to the campground we stopped at Fort Niagara. It is a big fort with great history.   The Fort looks amazing. There is a big castle at the end. 

  There is a lighthouse there you can go in and up to the top for free. 

  We at at Sanger Farms & bakery which is advertised in the paperwork they give you for the campground map. We had pizza it wasn't very good. I would not eat there again.

  We did eat at Bandanas Bar & Grill a few times it was excellent. The salad, rib eye steak with red potato's and broccoli was so good. 

  We wanted to go to Apple Granny's for dinner yet the street was closed with a big garden fair. 

  Did I mention the Winery Bella Rosa? They have tastings/flights  of beer and wine. They gave a good pour.  Excellent wines. They have great wine glasses too I bought 4 of them. We had gone to get gas at Smokin Joes (Indian run so no taxes). The winery was right there near Smokin Joes. For those who partake there is a dispensary there at Smokin Joes too. 

  This campground is a place I would go back to. Very nice with a lot to do around there.

  Clean & quiet

  Very well kept campground. Owners on site and attentive. Walking distance to Lake Ontario, you can see Toronto on a clear day.

  Sleepy Hollow Lake Campground

  Best if you want a summer rental

  Place is filled with campers which don’t move all summer. There are decks, low fences, and stuff around their campers. Clearly they visit annually for the season. We had a lake front spot but our electricity didn’t work. When I called they said someone would come check it “later”. We didn’t have power for our short visit. Too rainy to enjoy the grounds but the pool area looked nice. The lake didn’t look particularly inviting, maybe it was the rain.
