Guests are welcome to bring their own wood or explore the surrounding area for available resources. For your safety, please exercise caution when venturing into the woods and avoid approaching the active train tracks located at the back of the property. While the passing train adds to the rustic charm of the setting, it may NOT be suitable for light sleepers. Road traffic noise tends to calm down in quiet hours. Bed sleeps 2 but up to 3 welcome. We hope you enjoy your stay at what we believe is the coziest camp in WNY. Feel free to reach out with any questions or special requests. We look forward to hosting you soon!

Camping near Niagara Falls guide

Overview

Along the border of the United States and Canada, Niagara Falls is home to jaw-dropping waterfalls blending two nations. With scenic viewpoints, state parks, and unique adventures, campers come to this iconic location for its beauty and to honeymoon. Sometimes mentioned as one of the wonders of the world, be sure to book a tour for an up close and personal experience with the falls. Board the Maid of the Mist for a basin tour or catch some killer crashes from the Cave of the Winds within Niagara Falls State Park. Venture away from the falls to Allegany State Park or Iroquois National Wildlife Refuge to hike the trails and spot local wildlife. From campgrounds to cabins, farm stays, and retreats, campers won’t want to miss this bucket-list waterfall wonder.

Where to go

Niagara Falls State Park

Live in the action at Niagara Falls State Park for an endless flow of adventure and fun. Stop by the Aquarium of Niagara Falls, hike the trails, or explore the remains of the Schoellkopf Power Plant. With in-park dining, shopping, and unique tours, campers can spend days in one of the most visited parks in America year-round. Due to high volumes, consider visiting on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday to avoid longer wait times and weekend crowds. While in-park camping is not an option, campgrounds, cabin rentals, and lodgings surround the area.

Allegany State Park

Sitting south of Niagara Falls, wander through the lakes and lands of Allegany State Park. Climb the boulders of Thunder Rocks, explore 165 million-year-old bear caves, or spot owls, hawks, and bald eagles. With old growth forests, ancient geological landmarks, and bird conservation areas, adventure awaits all who enter. Highlighted for its two large lakes, Allegany provides a boat launch and picnic area alongside tent and RV campsites, cabins, cottages, and group camping. Peak season campsite booking starts nine months in advance of Memorial Day weekend, and they book fast.

Iroquois National Wildlife Refuge

Nestled in the North Atlantic-Appalachian Mountain Region, walk into a wealth of wildlife at the Iroquois National Wildlife Refuge. Located 40 miles east of Niagara Falls, it’s one of the area’s best kept secrets. Fall foliage paints the trails as environmental enthusiasts and wildlife photographers flock to the trees. Offering hiking, biking, skiing, and snowshoeing, campers can explore every season. Despite the lack of on-site camping, there are many nearby campsites and rental options. Be sure to plan ahead for meals—there are no picnic areas and the refuge is a “carry in, carry out” location.

When to go

Niagara Falls is a year-round destination providing excitement and beauty in every season. Temperatures range throughout the 70s and 80s in summer and provide the perfect opportunity to book a tour of the falls or camp more primitively. Winter months bring temperatures to the freezing point and below as the area experiences regular snowfall and cold fronts. Cabin rentals and lodging with heating are recommended for winter where spectacular views of the semi-frozen Niagara Falls await.
