    Lake Erie State Park

    Nice stop on way to Niagara Falls

    Beautiful State Park with friendly staff and campers. Windy, clean bathrooms w showers, flat sites. Sites on lake are not open - but sites across have good views as well. Lots more than just the campground

    Great Ontario lake views

    This camp is well spaced out even though it’s busy. It’s quiet and has a playground and good fire pits. Laundry and bathrooms. My only complain is we couldn’t shower. They didn’t have shower heads. The water just shot out like a water hose and was cold. The views was amazing especially sunset and the rocks along the water are magical. Places to fish too! And 15 minutes from Niagara Falls!

    Great location and amenities

    We visited out of season so pools and other summer facilities were closed for season. Perfect location if visiting Niagara Falls or Buffalo. Family with children should visit during summer season. Lots to do.

    A pleasure

    08 2024  We had our first experience here July of this year.  We loved it so much, we came back in August.  We had several sites, couldn't get one for the entire time each time, and we loved them all.  Sites are fairly open and you see all your neighbors, but they are roomy, you certainly aren't on top of one another.  Sites are sunny, works well for solar, some are partial shade.  The bathrooms and showers were always clean.  The camp store is cute and has essentials.  The staff are pleasant, as are the campers.  There is a shuttle to Niagara Falls, during the summer, it is free, and drops you at several locations.  There is even a pool drop off that is free for campers, very nice for the kids.  There are playgrounds and the kids seem to have fun.  Quiet time is that, quiet.  Some sites overlook the lake, but I'm sure those are gone early in the year.  I recommend this place for all people, young, old, tents, rigs.

    One Nighter

       Although this is a KOA Holiday, we used it as a KOA Journey on our way to the Catskills. Not too far from the Interstate & there was no highway noise at the campground. 

      We arrived right at 5pm, which is when they close up, but Victoria went above & beyond & took us right to our site. Good thing, since we were at the back of a confusing layout.

     There are sites in this section that have a partial view of the lake, but they looked like seasonal sites. All the sites looked well cared for. We had a pull through on Chestnut Drive.  Y1

    If you have kids, most of the activities they would be interested in are at the front entrance. If you don't have a golf cart, you may have to drive to the front for the pool, mini golf, basketball court & jumping pillow. 

    It doesn't look like they have many cabins. 

     There's another playground in the back that was getting used. There was supposed to be a splash pad, but I didn't see an evidence of that. 

    The bathroom/shower house are duel toilet/showers. Not my favorite, but we didn't have any trouble getting in. 

    We used the back exit on our way out, which was convenient. At least we didn't have to go back to the front entrance!

     BTW, Victoria is a treasure! She's friendly & goes above& beyond for customer service. We really appreciated the time she took with us.

    Four Mile Creek State Park

    Good location

    Sites are were nice and big but not private at all. I was in site 300, it was like a large lawn with a tree, which was great for shade. Each site has a fire pit and picnic table. Not a lot of privacy. Really nice bathrooms nice showers. Amazing being so close to Lake Ontario.

    Darien Lakes State Park

    Great experience.

    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.

    Psychotic Management

    If you have any concerns about their park or services they will immediately avoid you like the black plague!!! It's almost like they have things to hide, or don't want to justly return not even $1 that they are not entitled to. Running away from customers says a lot about their lack of professionalism, level of maturity, lack of integrity after they get paid, and the possible false statements they are making in their advertisements. To make a long story short, I did not receive all the services that they were supposed to deliver after paying them. The petting zoo is also questionable and one that should be looked at by PETA. Never going here again.

    Beautiful well maintained.

    We have stayed at both a full hook up and a no hook up site, and both were roomy and clean. The park is awesome. I absolutely love the memorial park .

    East Otto State Forest

    Great spot!

    We went for a quick weekend trip with 3 people and 4 dogs. What a great spot! We were nice and secluded, which was great for the dogs to run around, be safe, and not bother other campers. It was relatively easy to find and the campsite is pretty close to Zoar Valley for a nice day trip! We will definitely be back :)

    Best

    Describing this as a family campground is an exaggeration. The majority of structures in this area are semi-permanent, consisting of campers with non-mobile buildings attached. These constructions are in a state of severe degradation. Several of the residential areas require cleaning.

    Clean campground

    This campground is clearly well-maintained. Everything was tidy and clean, from our campsite, laundry room, showers, bathroom, camp store, and walking paths. My only complaint is that all campsites do NOT have a view of Lake Ontario. However, it’s just a short walk to a nice grassy area to overlook it. There were several more tent sites available, but this is definitely a campground that caters to seasonal campers/RVs. Only 25 min. outside of Niagara Falls so we were able to get there early. Also, the owner was very responsive.

    Warner Road Dispersed Camping in North Harmony State Forest

    fine site, messy

    The site was fine, fire pit, primitive spot so no services. We arrived late at night so couldn’t see so well but stopped in a clearing on the road toward the coordinates.

    Kind of a gross site, the previous people who stayed at our site were messy and left litter, but it served its purpose as a free place to sleep along a longer trip.

    Niagara Woodland Campground

    good

    The Niagara Woodland Campground presents itself as a family-friendly destination, but falls short in delivering a welcoming environment for families. During my visit, I noticed a predominance of semi-permanent structures, many of which were retro bowl attached to campers in a state of extreme disrepair. This detracted from the campground's appeal, as it gave off an unkempt and neglected atmosphere rather than a pristine outdoor retreat.

    Need to learn to clean bathrooms

    Love the campgrounds and beach. However, this year the restrooms were disgusting!!!. We were here for 3 nights and the same washcloths were on the floor all weekend. Sinks and counter never cleaned, mouse feces were everywhere. Even after going in right after the 2 young girls were done "cleaning", it looked like it was never touched except toilet seats were up and trash empty. Was really disappointed. We were in the last loop.

    No issues

    Good campground with a lot to do. I liked that the rec area had built in games. Not much in the island to do. There is a pizza place across the street. It isn’t great but convenient.

    Amazing campground

    This place is amazing. The sites are very nicely spaced and level. Bathhouses are some of the nicest I’ve seen. So much to do that’s included in the price of the stay, which I thought was very reasonable. I wish we could have stayed longer. Definitely will try and return here.

    Hanging Bog Big Bass Serenity Camp

    Hanging out at the Hanging Bog

    This is a gem of a campground, located on a private homestead adjacent to the Hanging Bog Unique Area, a special state forest preserve maintained by the DEC. Because you are off the beaten path, it feels like you are in the wilderness, although you are in driving distance of a hamlet where you can get supplies. I was there in October, at the peak of fall colors, so the camping and hiking trails and on the forest road to the bog was exquisite. The host has created a wonderful haven here, with tent sites, a few places where camper vans can park, and a glamping cabin option. Each site has a nice fire pit supplied with firewood, and you can drive up right to your site or get there by a short walk. The campground has a central cabin with a sitting room where you can hang out in the evening or if it is raining; a great retreat spit for writing or reading or journaling! There is potable water and a privy, and also a shelter where you can wash up dishes etc after campfire cooking. This is an amazing place for a retreat; I only stayed one night with my dog, but would live to come back for a week to fully enjoy camping here!
