The proximity to Niagara Falls influences pricing at many RV parks, with rates typically higher than comparable facilities elsewhere. Full hookup sites with 50-amp service command premium rates, particularly during peak tourist season from May through October. Many campgrounds close entirely during winter months, with seasonal operation spanning approximately April through late October. According to one visitor, "This is an average park, bathrooms were clean, grounds mostly dirt with uneven rock pads. This park anywhere else would be a $40-45 park." Dump stations are available at most locations, including Gander RV which offers sanitary dump and sewer hookups for travelers not staying overnight. Most parks accommodate pets, though some enforce strict leash rules and require proof of rabies vaccination at check-in.
