Best RV Parks & Resorts near Orchard Park, NY

This is not a resort campground nor is it a campground built for escapism. It’s very close to Niagara Falls, the Rainbow Bridge (for driving into Canada), and Buffalo, NY.

Mike is very friendly; check in was easy. The sites are full hook up or w/e only. There are pull throughs and back-ins, 30amp and 50amp sites. Your site is assigned once you arrive. You pay a deposit when you book and pay the rest when you arrive.

They have Good Sam and weekly discounts and I was also given a cash/check discount. So our total was $51 a night for a week’s stay.

The sites toward the front are definitely more level and have better cell service, but the sites toward the back are better shaded. Cell service and wifi was enough for me to work during the week and stream at night.

The facilities could use some work. They are very old, and it’s hard to tell if they are clean or just old. Laundry is available - $2.50 a wash/$1.75 a dry.

Basically, don’t expect a beautiful vacation campground. I work full time remotely from the camper. I was able to work during the days and get to Niagara Falls, CAN, and Buffalo quickly after work. Even with the discount, which I’m thankful for, it is overpriced for what it is. But it served my needs, I felt safe, and the owner was friendly so 3 stars. With some TLC to the sites and the facilities, I’d give it 4.

It is close to Niagara Falls and has full hook ups. But nothing like the pictures shown. The front desk person was not friendly at all and charged me $10 more because I arrived 1 hour early

Niagara Falls– Grand Island KOA is a nice park. With it being close in proximity to the Niagara Falls made nice but many turn over of campers making this a busy park. The sites were level and our site had full hook ups. We were in a pull through site towards the back of the park which is closes area of the park to the freeway which during the day lots of road noise but did quiet down at night. This Park offers the KOA normal amenities however they recently upgraded the Main Pool Area and were in the process of installing a new playground structure. Fishing pond and paddle boats. 

Things we did in the area Niagara Falls State Park. There is an activity center within walking distance of the campground that offers Mini-Golf, Go-Karts, and Laser Tag.

Stayed here to easily get back and forth to the NY side and border crossing at the falls. Nice sites and access right to the amusement park located next door. Playgrounds, pool, dog play area, cabins, tent sites and full hook up back ins and pull through sites.

The positives to this campground are that the people running it are all very nice. The store has just about anything and everything you can need or want. Restrooms and showers are kept clean. Negatives are that most of the sites with full hook-ups are practically on top of each other. They advertise long walking trails but they are all overgrown and non-existent. Very disappointing.

Pros: Full hookup (sewer, water, 50/30 AMP) Level site Wi-Fi Lots of amenities: paddle boats, heated pool, fishing pond (catch & release), cornhole, jumping pillow & pad, horseshoes, basketball court, pickleball, bocce ball, Gaga ball & playground

Cons: Gravel site Picnic table in rough condition No shade Noise from I-190 No working cable TV

Unfortunately, my site did not.

However, my site wasn't crowded and the electricity was reliable. This campground has three loops. One has 30 amp power, one has 50 amp power (with a 30 amp outlet on the same pedestal) and the third loop is for tent camping. There are several places to get water in the camp, so be sure to fill up your tanks before you park. There is a dump station. None of the sites are full hook up.

Each site has a picnic table and a grill.

There are two bath houses. The newer one - between loops one and three - also has laundry facilities.

Your payment for your campsite entitles you to admission to the beach, which is a hike or a drive away.

This park is a typical NY State Park. Electric sites only. Water and dump stations available. Laege, well maintained level sites on the shore of Lake Ontario.

This campground is very basic with very close campsites.  The bathhouse and laundry are old but clean.  The staff were very friendly and helpful.  It is very close to Niagara falls and for the money it is the best campground here.  KOA and Branches CGs are nicer but they are also triple the price which for us did not seem worth it.  We were in a back in gravel site that backed up to the motel which may not seem that nice but the electric, water and sewer worked perfectly.  Our 40 foot MH and Toad fit with room to spare.  There were sites that were on the outskirts of the property that backed to the woods which some people may prefer.  Those sites were just as close although there were several that would take big rigs bit don't expect to open your awnings in most sites.   There is a nice grassy area in the center with a small covered pavilion.   There are a few sites on the side/front of Motel.  We were here to visit Niagara Falls so location and a basic campground with full hookups was all we were looking for and this campground fit our needs perfectly.  We would stay here again.

Site was level. Sites were great size/ plenty of “yard space”. Some of the electrical pedestals were far from the gravel parking pad. Bathrooms - not good! There had been crazy rains for a week before we arrived & continued to rain 2 more days so it was WET & MUDDY!

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 (lots of sites with electric hookups, though not a lot of shade) is for you!…Interested in a less social scene, then the 200 loop (has electric hookups) or the 300 loop (no hookups) might be for you…we stayed at campsite 217 (level site with 3 shade trees and just 2 sites away from potable water), which had a shared lawn space with the inner loop sites. It had a lot of joyful kid activity on the weekend, but quieted down like a library on the Monday night we stayed over. The bathhouse in the 200 loop with bathrooms and showers are up-to-date and SUPER CLEAN. (Note: No dishwashing station in this loop, so bring your own system. Also, the camp store is closed on Monday and Tuesdays even in July.) It cannot be overstated that the sunsets over Lake Ontario from the “Sun Lawn” (at the very back of the 100 loop) are absolutely spectacular and every clear night you will see an exodus of campers headed there. No bells and whistles here, but a lot of friendliness and the simplicity is well done. (Note of gratitude: Our rental pop-up had severely under-inflated and worn/cracked tires. The staff at reception told us we could stop at the park’s maintenance garage for compressor air on our way out. The man who gave us air helped us back in, pumped the air in himself, noted the cracks in our tires and told us if we had any problems headed out to our camper drop off (20 minutes away) that we should call him and he would come out to help. THANK YOU!)

Nice sites for RVs and tent camping. Some closer than others. Very family friendly. Small pool area. Dog friendly and dog play area. Laundry room and camp store. Half hour from Niagara Falls. I highly recommend.

I 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.

You kind of know what to expect at a KOA - pool, playground, lodge or rec space, etc - but this KOA was also quite clean, a short ride from a fun little amusement park and only a 10-15 min drive from the falls! We had so much fun - this was a great "family campground". We tent camped, but they also had hook up sites up to 50 amps and some nice looking cabins for rent. There was fishing for the kiddos, and I was surprised to find that it was a year round campground as well. Snow camping!

It's pretty clear the planner of this park has never camped outside a KOA in their life. The location had so much potential but the sites are too close together. The lake views are either obstructed by trees or completely dominated by old travel trailers. These are the sorta of campers that feel the need to not only completely fill their site but also take up any common area that might provide a view. The folks that need to have a light show from their RVs so that you can't even see the stars. The saving grace is that the rangers are fantastic and helpful, and that your pass gets you in free to Hamlin Beach Park. You'll get more privacy there and nicer views even though it's a parking lot.

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.
