from $72 - $78 / night

"Have to say enjoyed my stay, yes lots of year around campers with permanent spots, but lots of activities during my stay and didn’t bother me at all."

Check Availability"This campground is open year around which is really hard to find in this area. We needed to come here for personal reasons before any other campground was opened."
ScoutKudos to Blue/High Tax States. For $27 a night, wonderful, huge campsites, clean individual toilet/showers, clean gorgeous Great Lake beaches, even organized kid activities on weekends. The staff is constantly around taking care of things. Of course there are dog owners not picking up after their animals but we can't blame the park for perks.
LegendWe spent a long weekend at HTR Niagara to visit Niagara Falls and Canada. Wow, are we glad we did!
WHAT I LIKED:
— This campground is a short drive to Niagara Falls and the Canadian border
— The park is beautiful with a great balance of natural and well-maintained
— Our site was level and clean+ the hookups worked just fine
— Each interaction with staff was friendly and welcoming(that’s no accident)
WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE SO MUCH:
— Just to nitpick, the wifi was too slow for streaming on TV, which we wanted to do on a rainy day
WOULD WE COME BACK?
— Absolutely, this is a great campground with lots to do in a clean and enjoyable setting
RangerLarge well maintained campground with many different types of sites. The staff is amazing and will help you find something - in person or by phone. Our site was tucked into the woods and felt very private. Lake for swimming, fishing, paddle boarding and kayaking. The bathrooms were dated but clean, with warm showers.
GuideVery clean and nice campground. Was there for 3 nights 4 days. Nice pool and facilities. Lots of activities for the kids but my kids mainly like the pool.
ScoutI was to Skyline in May 2026 - Opening weekend. My site was on Pine, easy in and easy out. You are in a mix of seasonals and weekenders. First off, the check in was easy and quick, the woman at the desk was friendly and upbeat. I arrived to a campsite that was clean, very clean. The lot was grass and had a slight slop to it, the trailer spot was all gravel and level. it rained one day hard real hard and there was no real standing water. There are old trees on the sites all are trimmed up and clear of dead branches. You could get a 13'6" trailer in without worrying about branches. The facilities were in clean and in working order. There was a free chili dinner on Saturday night at the rec hall. They had the hockey playoffs on a big screen and a band also. You are out in the country at this spot, Alden is not too far up the road, you have most stores there for items needed. Nice place!
GuidePlenty of activities to keep yourself busy with. They had mini golf, zip lining, a nice playground, a pool and hot tub. About a 15 min drive to Niagra Falls!
TravelerStayed here for 3 nights. Loop G has basically no tree coverage, so if we come back again, we’re doing a different loop! Nothing to complain about. Clean bathrooms. Camp store has strange hours and has few things in it.
RangerThe campground was very clean, shower and bathroom were clean and nice, Lake Ontario within walking distance was great - beautiful sunsets.
Location was about 15 minutes to Niagara Falls and camping here came with free parking to all state park sites (like Niagara Falls!)
Our site was against the woods which was nice but most sites seemed to be in a more open field area.
For our kids, the large playground was also nice!
GuideOur family camps here all the time. This year, we saw so much work put into the park. The camp store is open again, and the park has a working concession stand, too! They put in new benches and gardens and added beautiful walking paths by the water! There was a wonderful fireworks show over the water as well. Such a great campground and park!!
