  Letchworth State Park Campground

  Good weekend campsite

  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.

  Niagara Falls/Grand Island KOA Holiday

  Good base camp to see the area

  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.

  Clean and friendly

  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.

  Sugar Creek Glen Campground

  Amazing for tents

  Tent sites along a confluence of creeks; ankle deep clear water. Amazing miles of upstream hiking, water holes, rope swings, etc.

  Perfect for little kids and adults.

  Short drive from Letchwood State Park

  Niagara Falls/Grand Island KOA Holiday

  Close to Niagara Falls

  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).

  Niagara Falls/Grand Island KOA Holiday

  Loud highway, unclean bathrooms, poor tent site, easy access to Niagara

  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.

  Four Winds Campground

  One of our favorites

  We have camped here at least 1x a year for the last 5 years and we love it. They have made some improvements thought the years. As a family who tent camps this place has big grassy areas which is always appreciated. It's very close to Letchworth and a short drive to stony Brooke state park.

  Letchworth State Park Campground

  Camping

  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.

  Bide A Bit Campground

  Great little mom and pop campground

  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.

  Six Flags Darien Lake Campground

  Wonderful. Very convenient and affordable.

  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.

  Close to NY side falls and local attractions

  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.

  Stony Brook State Park Campground

  Mother Nature’s best

  Beautiful waterfalls, intermediate hiking.

  Tent sites are fairly large so you have plenty of room. Bathrooms are centrally located in each loop, nice playground for kids. Dog friendly too.

  only downfall, no one took the State bid to open the camp store so you need to leave the park for wood/ice.

  Ontario County Park at Gannett Hill

  Clean & convenient

  Great campground for kids, events, and hiking. Plenty of room on each site for whatever you need. Multiple playgrounds which are clean & well maintained. Only downside is that the RV sites don’t have much shade but the tent sites do. Also make sure to bring plenty of leveling blocks as some sites are far from level.

  Canandaigua-Rochester KOA

  Fun for families

  I haven't stayed in a KOA before because they have so many amenities I don't use. I'm a birder and my tent site here is next to a little grove of trees where I counted 12 species of birds this morning. The bathrooms are very clean and the women working the desk could not have been more helpful.

  Ontario County Park at Gannett Hill

  Wonderful!

  Great secluded tent camping (recomend numbers 7 and 8), cabins are new and ample beds and space. Camper camping is close to everything, but less privacy. Numerous pavilions that are wonderful for parties or weddings. Stunning overlook that is breathtaking (also great for weddings). Hiking, bike trails, fishing pond, playground, open fields for sports, much more!!! Great for photo shoots, weekend stress getaways etc. I live close by and visit a few times a month.

  HTR Niagara Campground

  Beautiful campground

  This is a fairly new campground on Grand Island near Niagara Falls. There a lot to do here, kayaking the pond, 2 zip lines, miniature golf and great pools. The bathroom/showers are spotless. The sites have a decent amount of room and many have a lot of shade. They have back in or pull through sites, cabins, tent sites and even yurts.

  Sprague Brook Park

  Beautiful park

  I loved everything. The sites are neat. We tent camped with no electric. $23 per night. Fishing allowed in the pond. Bathrooms with showers were spotless. Grass maintained. One small complaint is checkin and out times not enforced. Checkin states 3 pm but we saw many checking in as early as 8 or 9 AM. We could have gained a whole day!  Next time! 

  Lots of very wet, muddy sites where even mulch would have been helpful.

  Letchworth State Park Campground

  Amazing state park, crappy campground

  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.

  Sugar Creek Glen Campground

  Sugar Creek Glen Campground

  My husband and I spent his birthday weekend camping in our truck tent here. Around Halloween all the RVs decorate and the kids dress up for trick or treating. The owners of the park are very friendly and accommodating. The sites are level and spacious among the trees. The tent sites have options along the water as well. Unfortunately it stormed the night we were there and the river flooded over the road, so it was tough getting the truck out to leave the next day, but we made it after a couple hours!
