Niagara Hartland RV Resort in Gasport accommodates both large and standard-sized motorhomes with full hookup capabilities.

Most RV parks near Lancaster require advance reservations, particularly during summer months and fall foliage season. Several campgrounds close entirely between November and April, with limited year-round options available. Pull-through sites tend to fill quickly at popular destinations like Southwoods RV Resort, where reviews note the campground is "quite large and has separate sections for seasonal and transient campers." Cell service varies significantly between locations, with Verizon typically providing better coverage than AT&T in rural areas. Pet-friendly policies are common but may include breed restrictions or require proof of rabies vaccination. Dump stations are available at all full-service RV parks, though some state parks offer only electric hookups with centralized dumping facilities.
"This a beautiful campground with very friendly staff. Our site was a level gravel back in site. The back in sites are very wide and roomy, the pull through sites are a little closer together."

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.
ScoutNice place right on the Niagara River about 9 mi south of the falls. Wonderful bicycling access.
GuideWe called last minute for a spot on Labor Day Weekend. We were coming in for my mom's passing. They juggled spots to get us in. After getting set up, they checked on us several times to see how we were doing with my mom's passing. Amazing, caring owners and staff. Thank you Marie.
LegendThis campground was a wonderful find! Scouting locations for our Campout event in 2027. Kim the office manager was very accommodating and gave us a tour of the entire property which is vast! Whether you’re planning an event or just looking for a great place to simply camp, this is an excellent choice. Only 21 rv sites and several tent, cabins and 5 or 6 rustic sites with plans for pull-thru expansion for next year. Facilities were clean and well maintained. Peaceful and quiet
ScoutIf you’re looking to explore Niagara Falls on both the Canadian and US sides, this campground is the perfect place to set up. It’s no-frills, just a spot to park your rig and tow vehicle, and set out for adventure. Their restrooms and showers are clean, laundry on site is coin-op only, but cheap. The staff is extremely nice, and they’ll accept packages for you.
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!

Concert access: Some campgrounds serve concertgoers who need accommodation. "I haven't been here in a while but people mostly stay here for one of two reason.

Noise factors: Several campgrounds experience noise from nearby transportation routes. "Basic, clean campground about 20 mins from the Falls. Very convenient with nice workers but likely wouldn't book again. The noises of the town made it very difficult to sleep in our tent. It's right off the main road and nearby trains blared their horns throughout the night," warns Shan Q. about Niagara Falls Campground.
