  Lake Erie State Park Campground

  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

  Erie KOA

  Fun time for a family

  Fun little campground with friendly staff and wide open spaces. Clean bathrooms, great pool, fun little game room. The playground got 2 thumbs up from a 4 and 6 year old. There was a movie night every night. Close to stores (15 mins). The KOA is close to Presque isle and the amusement park, which is a fantastic place for kids. Sites were a good size and comfortable to be around.

  Chautauqua Lake KOA

  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.

  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.

  Super friendly and communal campground

  It was fairly full when I went, the staff was very friendly and helpful. There was a band playing in the middle of the campground at dusk which made for a great experience. Great campground overall!

  LOVE THIS PLACE!

  Hidden gem!  Love the seclusion of this campground.  Very clean restrooms.  Fantastic lake for kayaking, fishing, swimming, etc.  Currently, our favorite local escape destination!

  Red Oak Campground

  Mostly Seasonal Sites

  Park is mostly for seasonal camping with family oriented activities. Pads are gravel and grass. Campground needs general upkeep. Bathhouse needs repair or replacement. Staff is friendly and accommodating.

  Follys End Campground

  Nice spot

  Sites aren't on top of each other. Best sites are along the river and store has lots of fishing supplies. Wifi was too weak at my tent site and Verizon service was mostly unavailable. The site has a tire rim fire pit and picnic table with electric and water. Gravel pad where I parked was nearly level. Bathroom was cleaned the day I used shower and hot water was good. Prices for the site was $31/night and this was early season. I'm in a pickup with rooftop tent.

  Sparrow Pond Family Campground

  Great campground near Lake Erie

  We stayed at Sparrow Pond Family Campground for a special long-weekend to view the Total Solar Eclipse. Their normal season doesn’t open until later in April, but they opened for 5-days for people like us who wanted a good spot for the eclipse. Since the normal season hadn’t yet opened, not all amenities/facilities were open but they put on a lot of activities to make the stay fun. 

  THINGS I LIKED: 

  • Easy access to Lake Erie and Presque Isle State Park 

  • Clean and well-maintained property with lots of activities 

  • All of the RVs appeared well-maintained without trashy-looking seasonal sites 

  • Nice campground with friendly camping neighbors 

  • Friendly and responsive staff interactions 

  THINGS I DIDN’T LIKE SO MUCH: 

  • The site was nice and in a great location with a view of the pond, but wasn’t level 

  WOULD WE COME BACK? 

  Absolutely, this is a nice place with plenty of things to see and do in the area 

  HOW I CAME UP WITH MY STAR RATING:

  ★★★★★ everything was perfect with no room for improvement

  ★★★★ this is a great place with one or more minor flaws

  ★★★ average in all ways— not great, not horrible

  ★★ major issues or poorly maintained, we wouldn’t likely come back

  ★ a terrible place in my opinion and I’d never return

  Evangola State Park Campground

  Great campground

   We stayed here three nights to ride out a heat wave and really liked it. Sites are electric only, with a dump station available at the entrance and one in the campground loop. There are potable water spigots throughout the campground, where you awkwardly pull over to the side of the road and fill your tank. 

  Sites are pretty much wide open, with zero separation between you and your neighbor. Most are out in direct sun but the ones along the edge have some tree cover and shade. 

  There are yurts here as well, and a playground, and a huge disc golf course. You can walk to the beach from the campground (dogs aren’t allowed on the beach). The nature center is right in the campground, by the basketball and tennis courts. Showers were dirty and buggy, but they’re free and you can actually choose your own water temperature. 

  NY State campgrounds require proof of rabies vaccinations for your dogs. Good cell reception for Verizon, ATT wasn’t great but the cell booster helped. Trash bins, but no recycling. Beautiful sunset on the lake.

  Red Oak Campground

  Nice area for photography

  I went here the second week in October 2023 for a fall leaves photography trip. The campground owner is pleasant and available when needed. The place was fairly empty and I loved the quiet. Reasonable full hookup rates. The pulls ins are a bit of a draw on levelness, but none are horribly unlevel. I was in the "B1" and it's a bit larger than the others as it's on the corner. It had a nicely level spot on a gravel drive for my 21 ft travel trailer. Part of the pull in is a bit uphill, but at the top it's perfect for the smaller trailer like mine plus my Ford Explorer.  I'm a 63 yo woman and had no issues hooking up.  As I pulled out I stopped at the store to say goodbye. I realized I forgot to grab my garbage bag (left it sitting near the picnic table). She said don't worry about it I'll have the guys grab it for you. Nice woman! The entire camp is beautifully wooded and it's a remote area. Nearest town for groceries is 30 mins, but it was on my way to Allegheny State Park and Kinzua dam, so not a bad drive. Going to come back next year!

  Very relaxing and secluded

  I wanted to have a solo get away with the new travel trailer, and this place was exactly what I was looking for.  I booked a site during the off season, so I had the entire area to myself.  Very friendly staff.

  Willow Bay Recreation Area

  Hidden gem

  This place was recommended to us and we really did not know what to expect. Our site was right along the water. We have sites 76,77,78. Some sites were better than others. Some pros were water access, fire pits having grates, privacy. Some cons were the bathrooms were stinky porta potty things that never had toilet paper or lights at night and the hike to your car from your site. There is no service there so make sure everyone is on the same page. The camp offers ice and wood for a small fee which was convenient and there were nice bathrooms with showers about a min drive away.

  Chautauqua Lake KOA

  Largest sites I've ever seen!

  Stayed here two separate times summer of '23. Each time we look loved it! The sites are HUGE, plenty of space for our 30' TT, truck, and screen house. Nice large parks, mini-golf, and jump pad. Only complaint I had was the pool was undersized for the number of sites they have and it is in need of some repairs to fix tiles that are falling off. Some great views of the lake and surrounding area. Night sky was perfect for viewing stars!

  Erie KOA

  Helpful staff saved trip

  This was our second trip to the Erie KOA for a soccer tournament in Edinboro. Our trip was almost ruined when our popup cable system failed and we could not use our camper. The staff was able to move us to a cabin and prevent us having to find other accommodations. They even stopped over to check on us after we swapped sites.

  The kids enjoyed fishing in the pond and were able to catch a large small mouth bass and lots of blue gills.

  Wish we had been able to use our original site overlooking the pond but the cabin provided what we needed.

  Nice camping out back

  Camped in the back behind the pond in popup camper. Nice and quite back there and close to the bath house and wash station. There is more privacy between sites and lots of shade on the loop around the pond.

  The kids enjoyed the gaga ball pit and fishing in the KOA pond.

  Sparrow Pond Family Campground

  Sites sooo cramped!

  Pleasant stay, paid through dyrt(aka campspot) so could not reserve a spot without paying extra. Checkin was all done remotely so no issues on rate change. Spots are VERY close together(think sitting next to your neighbors sewage pipe) despite the fact it was off season, owners packed everyone into a single location.. Most around us where very long term with many having permanent structures, but very quiet. The view was spectacular. Would definately not stay at peak due to the sheer number of people they can cram in. Did not use any amenities. Would have rated much higher if sites were not so close together.

  Tent site area is a mud pit

  Scenery is beautiful, swimming is great, and the bathhouse is decent. The tent area is a mud pit and sites were pretty tight in that field mud pit. The access to the beach almost made up for it. Just for some perspective though, the iron fire rings had rusted through holes in the ground area, couldn't even stay flush to the ground. The fire rings had to be moved because they sunk into the mud and had three inches of water in the bottom.

  Presque Isle Passage RV Park

  Not very tent friendly

  Lots of RVs, not many tents. Small section in the back of the campground for tents. Also the worst part is being so close to the gas station/truck stop. Very bright lights on all night. Also close to the highway so there is constant noise! Most likely won't return.

  A million things to do

  This camp ground literally has something for everyone. From fishing to beaches the whole family will have a blast. We did have visits from wildlife, which was great the bear boxes help protect the food. Sites are large and easy to access. Ours was so clean! Everything is really high priced so try not to forget anything.i recommend this to families and people of all ages.
