Four Mile Creek State Park Campground and Golden Hill State Park Campground welcome pets at their campsites along the shores of Lake Ontario. Both parks maintain clean, spacious grounds with electric hookups and picnic tables at each site. Pets must be leashed at all times, properly supervised, and owners are expected to clean up after their animals. Golden Hill offers spectacular waterfront views that are especially dramatic at sunset, with several lakeside sites providing direct access to the shoreline for walking dogs. Four Mile Creek provides similar lake access with more wooded areas for shade during summer months. Accommodation options at both parks include tent sites, RV spaces with electric hookups, and pet-friendly cabins, though availability varies seasonally. Bathrooms are modern and well-maintained, though some campers note they can be quite a distance from certain campsites. Campers reference The Dyrt for top tips on camping near Gasport, New York.
Nearby Niagara County Camping Resort offers additional pet-friendly options with larger campsites and a mix of long-term and short-term camping areas. The grounds include fishing ponds, swimming areas, and putt-putt golf, though pets are not permitted in all recreational areas. Most campgrounds in the region operate seasonally from May through October, with Golden Hill closing mid-October and Four Mile Creek remaining open until late October. Wildlife encounters are possible throughout the area, so keeping dogs leashed is essential for both pet safety and wildlife protection. Several campgrounds feature fire rings at each site, allowing campers and their pets to enjoy evenings around the campfire. The spacing between sites varies considerably between campgrounds, with Golden Hill's C loop offering more privacy than its more densely arranged A and B loops. Bathrooms with hot showers are available at all the mentioned campgrounds.

Letchworth State Park is known as the Grand Canyon of the East and is located in Mt. Morris New York. My husband and I visited regularly when we lived near Rochester, NY. The park is stunning and is fit for camping whether you’re in a tent, RV or choosing to rent a gorgeous cabin. There are many walking and hiking trails for adventurers of all types. Make sure you bring your camera as the views are all photo worthy. The camping price is right due to the fact that the park is run by the state. A great place to stay especially in the Summer!!
We have camped at Letchworth State Park for nearly 30 years. Recent updates to playground equipment and restroom/shower facilities have brought the amenities into the 21st century. The price is reasonable, and the park is a gem. A couple cons to consider: pets only allowed in three loops. Quite often, pet loop reservations are maxed quickly. There is a two dog limit, which excludes many campers. If you are used to private campgrounds, realize that services are limited here. Mediocre camp store and laundry; both get the job done, but leave a lot to be desired.
Jake from the Dyrt here! Quiet Valley is a glamping campground with canvas tents in a slowed down country setting in New York. Check them out and leave a review about your stay on the Dyrt!
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.
I went to college right near Letchworth State Park so I spent many wonderful weekends there! There is a reason why they call it the Grand Canyon of the East. Not only can you check out the beautiful waterfalls, but there are also many awesome trails, rivers, and caves to check out. When I would camp, we would rent a camp site with our tent but, you could camp with your RV or even rent a cabin. Ive gone every month of the year, but these pictures were from my birthday in January. Letchworth is one of the best parks in New York state and a definite must see!
My son and I have a new favorite campground. We absolutely fell in love with this park. I find it odd that even though I grew up only an hour away, we never camped there. Big mistake! There are many trails to hike on and beautiful views of the gorge and river. You have to drive to many of the places but it's worth it. There are many souvenir and snack stands as well as a pool (again, you have to drive to them). The camp store is small but well stocked with a laundry attached. Some loops allow pets and others don't. If you want to bring your pet, please check to make sure you reserve a pet-friendly loop. Unfortunately for us, it rained the entire time we were there so we never got to walk the trails or use the pool. Keep an eye out for other activities. There are balloon rides, craft shows, etc. that happen throughout the summer. With so much to do in the park, you don't really need to leave but nearby is the Arcade and Attica Railroad. It's a nice little ride through the countryside. There is also a small dam that you can visit (we missed out this last time). I highly recommend visiting.
Nice secluded place. Quiet surroundings with lots of stuff for kids to do. Swimming, fishing, putt putt, petting zoo. Camp sites are clean and large. Ownership is extremely friendly. Will visit again.
In most states, those without falls like Niagara, this state park would be the pride of the land. With three serious drops in as many miles, the Genesse River winds it’s way through what locals call the “Grand Canyon of the East.” Many states try to make such claims, but this might be the closest any come to actually living up to such. It is stunning!
Along the river this park gives the motorist the distinct feel that she is on a parkway, not unlike Shenendoah, or Blue Ridge. Every few miles the winding pavement breaks out onto a few of the ridges and valley below, before ducking back into the forest of Western New York.
The campground, which is about 15 miles from the major falls area, offers what many come to expect from state parks. There are a wide variety of campsites, all reservable online, which can accommodate lots of different types of camping, large RV’s, small tents, and everything in between. Most, if not all, campsites offer electrical and water is available close by.
The bathrooms are practically luxurious by most camping standards, with single-use restroom/ showers available at all hours. The camp store offered a few grocery items, along with cold drinks, firewood and ice in addition to laundry facilities. Within a short walk were many hiking trails, an old-school fitness path, and a stellar playground where anyone under 9 years of age should get a great workout.
But let’s be honest, we’re not coming here for the campground, it’s the rest of the park that makes the drive worth it. So, check it out and get to know this stunning place first hand and be sure to bring a picnic basket.

Explore Niagara Falls area: Campers at Four Mile Creek State Park Campground can easily access the falls which are approximately 20 minutes away. "About 30 minutes from Niagara Falls.

Comes with state park parking pass to park free and access to town shuttle," notes Evan in his review.
Visit historic sites: The 30 Mile Lighthouse at Golden Hill State Park Campground provides historical interest for campers. "Be sure to visit the light house on your visit. With standard sites and a beautiful water for fishing this camp ground is great for a weekend or even for a day hike or a nice game of frisbee golf. Lots of history at this place!" recommends Meag F.
Water recreation activities: HTR Niagara Campground offers multiple water-based options for campers. "Located a short drive to the Falls, on the 'less busy side', to boot! There's a pretty large pond with a picnic island in the middle and a beach. Nightly Hayrides around the grounds, and rentals for various boats available," shares Erin H.
Spacious sites with views: Lake Ontario sunsets are a highlight at many campgrounds. "The view of Lake Ontario is absolutely breathtaking!" writes Brett A. about Four Mile Creek. Another camper notes, "This isn't the biggest or fanciest place but it's simple and wonderful for a weekend getaway. The sunsets you'll catch on Lake Ontario are some of the best you'll see."
Ease of access to attractions: Niagara Falls/Grand Island KOA Holiday provides convenient access to regional attractions. "Nice campground with many amenities. Typical KOA. You can schedule tours of the falls in the office. Tour bus stops at office. Restaurants nearby," states Mike H. in his review.
Clean facilities: Campers consistently mention the cleanliness of facilities. "This is a very large and popular campground, and to my surprise it didn't empty out much during the week. The setting is beautiful, the rangers were friendly, and the playgrounds are very nice," comments Jen V. about Four Mile Creek State Park.
Site selection considerations: At Golden Hill, site location significantly impacts your experience. "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," advises Leah L.
Seasonal operation: Most campgrounds in the area operate from May through October. Darien Lakes State Park Campground is open "May 6 to October 16," according to their listing, while Golden Hill runs from "April 29 to October 15."
Dog friendly policies: Several dog friendly campgrounds near Gasport require documentation for pets. One camper at Four Mile Creek notes, "Dog friendly but bring proof of rabies vac." Most pet-friendly campgrounds require dogs to be leashed at all times, with owners responsible for cleanup.
Activity options: HTR Niagara Campground offers extensive family activities. "Playground, mini golf, weekly free activities ranging from root beer float night to a traveling Birds of Prey show!

Clean bathrooms near the campground store," notes Sydney W., while another reviewer mentions, "Plenty of activities around the campground. Golf cart rentals available."
Site selection for families: Four Mile Creek offers different loops based on family preferences. "This is a friendly and clean state park campground where you can choose your own environmental experience. Camping with kids and enjoy interacting with other camping families? Then the 100 loop with large playground is for you!" recommends Paula.
Electrical considerations: Check voltage levels at certain campgrounds. "Our problem was that the low voltage power would trip our EMS. Power went to as low as 109 volts that I saw. We really wanted to love it there but with no sewer and bad power we had to leave early," warns Gary P. about Niagara County Camping Resort.
Site layout: RV site accessibility varies between campgrounds. "Site Details: We stayed on site#79, which was an electric site with a nice lake view. Our site actually had a gravel driveway and pad, as did several others, but I noticed that the majority of sites were grass only," reports Jen V. about Four Mile Creek.
Access and hookups: Many campgrounds offer full hookups for RVs with varying site types. "Very large campground. Sites packed close together. ON Lake Ontario- SO gorgeous. Playground for kiddos. NOT FHU. Very quiet area (eventhough campground was packed)," says Ashley I. about Golden Hill State Park.
