    Niagara Falls/Grand Island KOA Holiday

    Large KOA

    This was a large KOA campground with many sites, cabins, activity center, etc. We were there in late October and it was partially closed down. Quite pricey. Clean facilities. Somewhat close to interstate noise. Convenient to access Niagara Falls.

    Quaker Area — Allegany State Park State Park

    So many memories…

    We returned to the same campsite for 10 years while our kids were growing up. They loved all of the hikes, they loved all other places, from thunder rocks to bear caves trail.

    You can go to this camp at any point in time, after Labor Day you can even get firewood delivered to your door. The box wood stoves inside to keep things thirsty, warm, even on a snowy day.

    Willow Bay Recreation Area

    Beautiful campground

    Went the week of April 23 2024 and had the place just about to my self. Was peaceful and quiet. Both camp hosts were super nice and friendly folks I'd definitely recommend Willow bay to anyone. No cell service with AT&T or Verizon.

    Westfield-Lake Erie KOA

    Nice quiet campground

    The manager is super nice and helpful, the showers and laundry room clean & bright. The lots are nicely shaded with big trees & at night I cud smell grapes from the local vineyards, a nice surprise :) Across the road is a little park right up against Lake Erie with picnic tables & lots of shade!

    Lake Erie State Park Campground

    A very nice park and campground

    The facilities are old and outdated like most state parks but it's all clean. The staff is friendly and helpful and the camp sites are a decent size. The views of the lake aren't great but you can find it.

    Cain hollow campground

    Come in Autumn!

    Absolutely beautiful camping loop. There are many others but Cain Hollow is completely open and on the side of a hill so beautiful views of the changing colors. Also good for Starlink users. Clean bathrooms. Beautiful paved greenway. Easy and hard trails available. Restaurant, general stores, laundry, bike rentals… this park is awesome. Absolutely zero Verizon service though. Heads up!

Boating access: Some campgrounds provide water recreation beyond fishing. "Campground is right on the river with a private boat launch," reports Ian H. about Arrowhead Campground, making it convenient for campers bringing watercraft.

Winter activities: Unlike many seasonal operations, Sprague Brook remains open year-round. "The park is open year around and even has shelters to rent for winter. There is a sledding hill and cross country skiing paths to use," explains Adam R.

What campers like

Privacy levels: Campers frequently mention site spacing and privacy. "Sites were spaced out enough that you know someone was in the site next to you, but you couldn't see them," reports Nicholas K. about East Otto State Forest.

Free primitive camping: Budget-conscious campers appreciate no-cost options. "After sleeping in parking lots and rest stops, it is so nice to have a place where you don't fear law enforcement knocking at your car/tent, and it's FREE!" writes Aidan C. about East Otto State Forest.

What you should know

Cleanliness concerns: Some primitive camping areas have trash issues. Joseph F. notes about East Otto State Forest: "Nice campground, free, fishing, secluded, everyone needs to start picking up their trash though."

GPS accuracy: Some campgrounds can be difficult to locate. "I used the Dyrt provided gps coordinates and was dropped into a residential area. Used the map on the parks website to get back on track," warns Courtney C. about her experience at East Otto State Forest.

Seasonal limitations: Most campgrounds operate within specific dates. Three Valley Resort runs from "Apr 15 - Sep 15," while Triple R Camping Resort operates "Apr 15 - Oct 15."

Tips from RVers

Reservation systems: Some campgrounds have outdated booking processes. Ian H. notes about Arrowhead Campground: "NO CREDIT CARDS; cash or check only. It makes it a little clunky to get a reservation because you have to mail in a check."
