1 campground with availability this weekend
Four Mile Creek State Park Campground and Golden Hill State Park Campground house upscale glamping accommodations that blend outdoor adventure with luxury on the shores of Lake Ontario. Both locations feature yurts with comfortable furnishings, electricity, and climate control systems that maintain ideal temperatures year-round. Four Mile Creek's glamping sites include private decks overlooking the water, while Golden Hill's units offer spectacular lake views with proximity to the historic lighthouse. The premium accommodations at these parks include full bedding packages, kitchenettes, and upgraded bathroom facilities that distinguish them from traditional camping options. "It was glorious to sleep to the sound of waves hitting the shore and wake to the panoramic Lake Ontario view," one visitor noted about their glamping experience at Golden Hill.
The lakefront location provides glampers with direct access to water recreation, including fishing, boating, and swimming opportunities. Golden Hill features a disc golf course, basketball courts, and several miles of scenic hiking trails along the lakeshore. Niagara Falls lies approximately 50 minutes away, while the Niagara Wine Trail offers tastings at nearby vineyards for those seeking culinary experiences beyond the campground. Evening programs include guided stargazing sessions and nature presentations during peak season from May through October. According to a camper, "The views are spectacular, particularly at sunset. The campground was quiet at night." Both locations require advance reservations for their premium glamping accommodations, with availability being especially limited during summer weekends and holiday periods when visitors flock to experience luxury camping near Lake Ontario.

ScoutBeautiful, well cared for campground! Bathhouses are very clean, laundry facilities at each bathhouse, heated pools in the summer, 2 zip lines, laser tag, mini golf, boats, pedal bikes, playground, basketball, Gaga ball, catch and release fishing pond, and 2 dog parks. Close to Niagara Falls.
GuideIt's no wonder they call this park the Grand Canyon of the East! This is a vast green oasis with grandeur to spare.
Pro's:
- Glen Iris Inn was a treat. It is right next to the middle falls, which to me were like the Niagara Falls' little sister. So spectacular.
- The restrooms on loop 100 were newish and great. All singleton-style restrooms and some with showers.
- Really, just everything. Wish we could have stayed longer!
Con's:
- I heard someone complain about the lack of cell service, but to me this is secretly a Pro! :)
- Oh and having to use ReserveAmerica to book the site was is a bit of nuisance.
TravelerCampground is clean & beautiful. Our site (#165) is right next to the lake. The showers are warm. The toilets are pretty clean. The water spigot closest to us is not working.
TravelerThe staff at check-in were incredibly friendly, sharing with me their favorite hikes and viewpoints. My golden retriever and I settled into our site in the 100 loop which was spacious and clean. The restroom and showers were immaculate. The road running the length of the park was flanked by miles of stone walls constructed by the CCC. All paths were well maintained gravel.
ScoutAbsolutely stunning campground, our phone service does not really work here (Verizon) and the internet did not work last night either, but as long as you have star link I’m sure you will be fine. And internet is working fine this morning. Loved this little piece of heaven on the lake!
GuideStayed here in our Class B. Had a nice site in loop 4. Only complaint really is other guests cranking some kind of contemporary R&B with very loud bass, like we should all like their music. 4 sites away, it was pretty loud. The hiking, the falls were great. Tons to do, spectacular views. The park is 17 miles long folks. Camping is north, the falls are south. You can hike all the way down. Its perhaps one of the most impressive displays of CCC work i have seen. Stone tables, picnic pavilions, walls, steps, just amazing work and maintained nicely. Check is easy, plenty of places for trash, fresh water. Showers were not bad, two per building per gender. Of course i picked one that backed up so i was in standing water. I reported it and 24 hours later it was the same. Oh well it was hot and felt great and i didn’t get hoof and mouth disease or anything. One thing - MAJOR league poison ivy , everywhere, surrounding every campsite. Beware.
LegendWe spent a long weekend at HTR Niagara to visit Niagara Falls and Canada. Wow, are we glad we did!
WHAT I LIKED:
— This campground is a short drive to Niagara Falls and the Canadian border
— The park is beautiful with a great balance of natural and well-maintained
— Our site was level and clean+ the hookups worked just fine
— Each interaction with staff was friendly and welcoming(that’s no accident)
WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE SO MUCH:
— Just to nitpick, the wifi was too slow for streaming on TV, which we wanted to do on a rainy day
WOULD WE COME BACK?
— Absolutely, this is a great campground with lots to do in a clean and enjoyable setting
RangerLarge well maintained campground with many different types of sites. The staff is amazing and will help you find something - in person or by phone. Our site was tucked into the woods and felt very private. Lake for swimming, fishing, paddle boarding and kayaking. The bathrooms were dated but clean, with warm showers.
GuideVery clean and nice campground. Was there for 3 nights 4 days. Nice pool and facilities. Lots of activities for the kids but my kids mainly like the pool.
Four Mile Creek State Park and Golden Hill State Park offer distinct camping experiences along Lake Ontario, approximately 30 miles north of Gasport, New York. The area features a humid continental climate with warm summers and cold winters. Camping season typically runs from May through October, with most parks closing for winter due to snow accumulation averaging 75-100 inches annually in the region.
Disc golf on lakeside course: Golden Hill State Park has a well-maintained disc golf course running along Lake Ontario. "Lots of history at this place," mentions Meag F., who recommends visiting "for a day hike or a nice game of frisbee golf" while enjoying the historic lighthouse grounds.
Fishing opportunities: Multiple parks near Gasport provide fishing options. At Four Mile Creek State Park Campground, campers can fish in designated areas. According to Stacia R., "We camped at site 161 which was fairly shaded and had a large open field with a view of Lake Ontario. Sunsets were beautiful and a lot of campers come to the lake in the evening to watch it."
Visit Niagara Falls: Most campgrounds provide convenient access to Niagara Falls, located about 30-50 minutes from Gasport. Evan from Four Mile Creek notes, "About 30 minutes from Niagara Falls. Staff inside office were very friendly—gave many trail suggestions and good tips for navigating the city. Comes with state park parking pass to park free and access to town shuttle."
Clean facilities: Campgrounds in the area maintain good standards for bathrooms and shower facilities. At Branches of Niagara Campground, "the bathrooms were seriously nicer than most home bathrooms. Beautiful!" according to Erin H., who adds, "Grounds were very well kept & staff friendly."
Lake views and sunsets: The shoreline position of many campgrounds offers exceptional sunset viewing. Laura Nicole A. notes that at Four Mile Creek, "the sunsets you'll catch on Lake Ontario are some of the best you'll see. You can't swim off the ledges, but this place is worth it."
Family-friendly amenities: HTR Niagara Campground (formerly Branches of Niagara) provides numerous facilities for children. "This was the most perfect family campground we've been to... They have every amenity you could need and the grounds are pristine. Our favorites were the 3 pools and brand new playground," reports L W.
Limited swimming access: Despite proximity to Lake Ontario, swimming options vary by location. Four Mile Creek does not permit lake swimming, and as Stacia mentions, "I would consider it to have few recreational activities such as hiking, etc., but a nice place to camp if you are looking to explore the surrounding region."
Seasonal operations: Most campgrounds operate from May through October. Darien Lakes State Park Campground runs from "May 6 to October 16," providing a "quiet escape" according to Jeremy H., who describes it as "a nicely kept, clean and quiet gem" with "miles of hiking trails, nice lakes to fish and swim in."
Varied site privacy: Site seclusion differs across parks. Ashley B. notes that Four Mile Creek has "great sites, secluded from neighbors. Nice trails to hike," while others mention more open arrangements at different campgrounds.
Choose loops strategically: At Golden Hill State Park Campground, select your site based on preferred experience. Jay B. notes it's a "peaceful facility" that is "clean and well maintained" with "a Frisbee gulf course, basketball court, fishing, boat launch available."
Consider off-peak visits: Weekdays offer quieter experiences than weekends. Leah L. reports that at Golden Hill, "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."
Pack for variable weather: Lake Ontario creates unpredictable conditions even in summer. Temperature swings of 20 degrees can occur within hours when lake breezes shift, requiring layers and rain gear for comfortable glamping in Gasport, New York area parks.
Electrical considerations: At Niagara County Camping Resort, Gary P. experienced electrical challenges: "Our problem was that the low voltage power would trip our EMS. Power went to as low as 109 volts that I saw." He recommends voltage protection for sensitive electronics.
Accessibility varies: Some parks offer better RV accommodations than others. Adam R. notes that Golden Hill "is big rig friendly" and features "well kept" amenities, making it suitable for larger recreational vehicles.
Parking benefits: Four Mile Creek provides useful perks for RV campers visiting attractions. SkipperAllen C. explains, "One perk we were not aware of was free parking at one of the three New York park parking lots with our campground pass," which can save significant costs during Niagara Falls visits.
