RV sites near Clarence, New York offer access to the agriculturally rich countryside of western New York, where summer temperatures average 70-80°F and winters drop to 20-30°F. The camping season typically runs from May through October, with most facilities closing during the colder months. The predominantly flat terrain makes for easy site access but offers limited natural shade.
What to do
Amusement park access: Six Flags Darien Lake Campground provides camping packages that include theme park admission. "The campground fees include admission to the theme park. The sites are very nice and well maintained," notes Mary H., who found the family-focused campground "wonderful, very convenient and affordable."
Golfing opportunities: Hickory Ridge Golf & RV Resort combines camping with golf course access. The resort caters primarily to golf enthusiasts rather than nature seekers. "This spot is all right, but it's not really the vibe for weekend campers. It's definitely more of a 'locals only' kind of feel as it is a country club and golf resort primarily," explains Mariah G.
Nearby attractions: When staying at Red Rock Ponds RV Resort, campers can explore the historic town of Holley, approximately 15 minutes away. "Nice, smaller campground with adequate sites. Appears more for permanent campers," notes Dan, highlighting the park's proximity to local services.
What campers like
Family-friendly environments: Southwoods RV Resort offers extensive recreational options for families. "Southwoods is a beautiful campground and accommodates campers of all ages. 2 well kept pools, playgrounds, laundry facilities, mini golf, soccer, basketball. The employees are so helpful and nice!" reports Hope C.
Clean facilities: Six Flags Darien Lake Campground maintains well-kept grounds despite high traffic. "The campground itself is pretty and well kept. Some sites are a little tight, but most people aren't there to camp, they're going to the park or a concert, or both," Cory W. explains, noting the convenience for concert-goers.
Helpful staff: Many campers praise the service at RV parks near Clarence. "We needed help with our water heater in our own RV and the camp team sent over a mechanic to sort it out within minutes. Free of charge," shares Lionel O. about his experience at Six Flags Darien Lake Campground.
What you should know
Site spacing variations: Skyline RV Resort offers big-rig accommodation but with limited personal space. "Great campground, a little tight if you like to spread out. The map was not correct and we did not have sewer hook up at the sight," notes Paul G., though he found the staff friendly and the dumping station free.
Seasonal occupancy: Many campgrounds near Clarence have high percentages of seasonal residents. Red Rock Ponds RV Resort has "adequate sites" but "appears more for permanent campers," according to Dan, which affects the overall atmosphere for weekend visitors.
Noise considerations: Train tracks run near multiple campgrounds in the area. "There was a train track close to camping," reports Donna M. about Six Flags Darien Lake, while another reviewer notes that train noise at Southwoods RV Resort "occasionally is quite noisy."
Tips for camping with families
Activity planning: Southwoods RV Resort provides numerous recreation options for children. "Family friendly park, lots of activities, park hosts/owners are hands on and awesome," shares Cheryl M. The campground features two swimming pools, playgrounds, and sports facilities.
Weekend crowding: Consider midweek stays for a quieter experience. "Weekend sites would be pretty tight together if they were fully booked," notes a reviewer about space constraints during peak periods at several area campgrounds.
Concert scheduling: If staying during concert events, expect increased noise and activity. "People mostly stay here for one of two reasons. Because they don't want to drive home drunk from a concert, or they have 14 loud kids that want to be at the amusement park. Both options come with about 2 hours of sleep," Laura Nicole A. candidly shares about Six Flags Darien Lake.
Tips from RVers
Limited overnight options: DINO RV Campground in Cheektowaga has only 4 sites available, making advance booking essential for short-term stays. The campground offers full hookups but minimal amenities.
Map verification: Double-check hookup availability upon arrival. "The map was not correct and we did not have sewer hook up at the sight," reports Paul G. about Skyline RV Resort, emphasizing the importance of confirming amenities at check-in.
Supply access: Niagara Hartland RV Resort provides on-site firewood and basic market supplies, though the facility appears "a little run down" according to Bella S., who notes it "looks more like a trailer park" with many seasonal sites.
