    Four Mile Creek State Park

    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.

    Golden Hill State Park

    Very nice and spacious.

    Amazing views and spacious layout. Bathhouse are far and few between and nothing special. The views are what really make it worthwhile.

    Four Mile Creek State Park

    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.

    Hamlin Beach State Park

    Beautiful and quiet

    07 and 08 2024.  We stayed in loop A, the showers and bathrooms are newer in this area and no matter what time of day or night I went, they were clean.  Sites have a good amount of trees and shade, if you need solar, look on Google maps first before picking site.  The parkway to Hamlin may have some shorter underpasses for tall rigs, so pay attention or check ahead if you have a large rig.  The beach is great, and there are several playgrounds for kids.  Never saw the dump stations busy, but then again we didn't go right at check out time either.  Kids will be kids and laugh and play during the day, even though we're retired, we enjoy the sound of happy children.  Come quiet time, it was just that, quiet.  Odds are you will need to level your rig, dirt, stone etc., but that's to be expected, we are camping after all.  All the staff that we came in contact with were pleasant and helpful.  We live relatively near Hamlin and plan on going there several times a year.  Perfect get away.

    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.

    Niagara Woodland Campground

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Very cute campground right on Lake Ontario

    I stayed here one night in a tent just passing through, it was a week night and there were lots of people camping but still lots of open sites. they had a good mixture of more open or more secluded spots. The beach is beautiful! The bathrooms were clean! It’s a quick easy drive to Niagara Falls. It was the perfect place to stop going after going through Canada from Michigan!

    Bathrooms were very clean. Quiet campground. Lots of plays areas for kids. Weekend sites would be pretty tight together if they were fully booked. Golf carts not available.
