Guide
Check-in was quick and easy. Our site was spacious, clean, and pretty darn level. Bathrooms were dated, but pretty clean for the amount of traffic. Water was hot and had great pressure. We were there for @KingdomBound2024. The campground was 6 minutes from Darien lake Amusement Park. We will definitely be back next year.
Guide
We had a great time on the Cain hallow loop site 18. The satellite pictures do not give away how hilly the terrain is on the loop. We were at the top of the hill with a great view.
We did not expect to have zero cell phone reception, t-mobile, but turned out to be great as we just enjoyed the views and the time at the fire .
Our site had a huge space for the kids to run and play.
The bathrooms were clean and cleaned frequently while we were there. We saw the ranger or park staff drive through once or twice a day and they always waved and were friendly.
Lots of things to do in the park and explore. Definitely planning to go back again!
Guide9/25-9/29/22- The park was nearly empty, perhaps 6 or 8 other campers widely spread out. It was immaculate and the sites well spaced apart. All site have a picnic table and fire pit. Ours had both 30A and 50A power, was pretty level left/right but about 6” high in front before we leveled our 34’ fifth wheel. The park has drinking water faucets at a variety of places throughout, but site#15 has a faucet directly next to it, so we had water available too. Both AT&T 4G and Verizon 5G had 3 bars reception. The dump station was clean and convenient. It looked like a great place for kids that included at least one (probably more) playground.
RangerWe visited in the fall as the leaves were changing color. Very pretty.
HIGHLIGHTS:
Lake Swimming area
Large field to fly kites

LegendThis state park had a nice lake to paddle on, a solid general store, a huge beach area, kayak rentals, tennis courts, a basketball court, and more.
It was a perfect overnight stop as I made my way out of NY, but I would definitely come back for a longer stay!
ScoutThis is a beautiful place! Monday thru Friday the campground is quite and mostly empty. Friday brings the weekend families and their dogs, still very enjoyable and definitely entertaining!
ScoutCabins are great for families and there are also activities and hiking....Close to some attractions for adults and children too.
ScoutDefinitely a family friendly place to camp
GuideOne of our favorite places to camp. Tent and RV sites are nice, clean. The trees offer great shade and privacy between most sites. The park itself is fantastic with plenty to see and do. Family friendly and kids live it.
TravelerGreat place to explore. Many trailes, boating, swimming, camping... just a great place to go.
ScoutGreat place to relax and have fun with the family , lots of pets , kids loved the beach and it's only minutes from 6 flags
TravelerThe laser show was great. Some of the rides were down so that was annoying. But we all had fun!
TravelerI didn’t see a review mentioning that the park has a fireworks and laser light show from 10-11:30PM every Friday and Saturday. The show is right next to the campground. We had just gotten our two kids down to sleep when it started and of course everyone was back up again until Midnight. Other than that the campground was great, well maintained, and there are security trucks enforcing quiet hours, no one around us made a peep after 10, and we saw the guards snuff out a couple partys quickly and quietly. There was a HUGE line for the dump station on Sunday morning, definitely worth the couple extra bucks for full hookup so you can bypass that.
Travelerkids and parents will love this place as has lots of entertainment for all ages
ScoutWe have made it an immediate family tradition to stay here for Thanksgiving.
This place is great for family camping. It has a nice variety of cabins along several loops.
Cabins range from rustic to downright homey.
The Red House Administration building is a great central location to meet up with other camping families.
Staff is super friendly & helpful.
GuideWe've been coming to this campground since I was a kid, and love the fact that you can have the amenities of home away from home. There is so much to do there including catching crayfish, fishing, going to the amplitheater, hiking, and so much more. This is a favorite and a must see for sure!
Guideusually pretty crowded but still such a fun place to camp!
TravelerThis is an awesome place to camp. New improvements to the park have been made the last few year! They runs daily activities you can go to and learn about different things in nature
TravelerThe campsites were pretty close together and did not offer much privacy unless you had a camper. At the time I went (May, 2018) the lake was reduced to about a third of it's water due to maintenance, so the kayaks we brought didn't leave the roof of the car, and there was no swimming allowed.
Aside from that, the hiking trails were beautiful and well-marked, the check-in process was easy, and it was a wonderful campground!
ScoutLove camping at allegheny. Cabins are pretty large and have some great surounding areas, like creeks right next to the cabins. Great place for family camping with tons of different activites offered around the park.
TravelerShort drive from Buffalo for a great weekend spot!
Travelerif you like a park that is near an amusement park and not that quiet this is for you. You are still out in nature and have those aspects but you dont get that lost into nature here to me. All the facilities were nice and clean which is always a plus and you are not far from shopping or groceries if needed
GuideWe stayed at this campground when we went to Niagara falls. It's a small campground but has clean bath houses an a relaxing atmosphere. Not much to do but fish or walk trails but that's how we like it. Nice park to go to after a long day at the falls. Just relax by the fire.
ScoutI've camped here since I was a little kid. Always clean and well maintained. Also has a nice beach and all newly remodeled bathrooms.
ScoutAlways nice
RangerPretty little site, lots of green and water. Close enough to Darien Lake theme/amusement Park and concerts that you can combine them for a weekend. Choice of shady or sunny loops, most not too private. Clean and well cared for, some extra activities on site (don’t remember details, we just hiked). Small beach but we didn’t go in. FYI the nearby theme/amusement park also has a camping area but this one is 1000x better.
ScoutGood swimming I only used Tent Camping wonderful hiking trails last time I went hiking Great place to take a family. amusement park around the corner to
