In addition to a beautiful view of Lake Erie, this camp site is nestled in a 5 acre Concord grape vineyard. Peace, quiet and privacy. Help yourself to as many grapes as you want! (Growing season is in the fall and you might find some wild strawberries in the spring!). Current owners have had since 2020 and have kept the vineyard organic ever since. Amazing fireflies and stargazing location - we often see shooting stars!
Follow Chautauqua County Burn Ban rules: https://chqgov.com/county-executive/news/chautauqua-county-officials-remind-residents-ongoing-burn-ban
Nearby vendors generally have firewood for sale for you to bring in and use in our fire pit.
No facilities. Carry in, carry out. Single lane drive. We usually park 2 vehicles single file and carry camping gear to fire pit. Beyond grape-rows can be a muddy area. Grass can be high besides the campsite and access road. Picnic tables are a bit worse for wear but the beautiful view more than makes up for them!

How’s that for a pedigree? The swimming might not be great but there's plenty to do at the shallowest of the Great Lakes. It’s a great place to picnic, watch the migratory birds, fish, and lounge on the beach. Take a canoe or a kayak out on the lake. Take advantage of the winter snow to go cross-country skiing. There’s even a disc golf course called Shipwreck Bluff Disc Golf Course. Forgot your putter at home? You can pick up a spare from the visitor center. In addition to the 97 campsites (tent & RV), there are 10 cabins in this 355-acre campground, with plenty of views of bluffs and protected water to go around. People rave about the sunsets here. Since the sites are lakeside, you can watch from the comfort of your camp chair. Once you’ve had your fill of lake life, head over to Niagara Falls. It’s just a short drive down the road.

Located on the Walsh Family Farm property, this camping area is set up for tent or RV camping. The location is a secluded, sectioned area of a field, with woods on two sides, close to the Chautauqua Rails for Trails entrance. There is fire wood for sale, a communal picnic table and fire pit on site. Located within walking, biking, or a short driving distance are the Chautauqua Rails for Trails, the Chautauqua Gorge, and the Westside Overland Trail. Additional courtesy camping items available at little cost upon request. Farm fresh eggs, seasonal vegetables, and farm raised meat available at farm stand.
The entrance to the property is on Summerdale Road. From Lyons Road, turn right on to Summerdale Road. Drive past the first house on the right hand side. Just a little further down the road you will see a Harvest Host sign and a blue double field gate. Please park in the location indicated via text messaging confirmation.
Please be aware that the farm is a working farm with very cute Dexter cows pastured on the other side of the fence. The back side of the fenced area is electrified so remember not to touch the wire.
Also please be aware that there are many black bear sightings in the area. Always place food and snacks in bear containment canisters and lock vehicle doors.
Recommended Best Practices:
-pack all food, wrappers, trash, toothpaste, lip balms, sunscreen, soaps, and scented toiletries inside the bear canisters. Non-clear canisters are recommended as bears have learned to access clear container models.
-keep bear containment canister on level ground at least 100 feet from your sleeping and cooking area.
-do not hang or attach ropes to the container- bears have learned to use the rope to take the canister with them, and do not leave scented items in tents or vehicle trunks. Remember to lock your vehicle.
Please refer to the NYS DEC website for further updates and information on safety and camping near NY state forests.

This is a campsite that has picturesque view of surrounding farmland and of Peek-n-Peak. Located conveniently off of Rt426 with a slight drive along a field to reach the destination. Private and out of the way. Plenty of wildlife (family of fox and usually mamma deer and her babies, can normally be seen doing what animals do. Close to Peek-n-Peak and Findley Lake and its many amenities. Has fantastic cell reception so remote working is an absolute possibility if longer stays are wanted.
This is a little campsite on top of a hillside besides, you guessed it, a big oak. This is on a working hay farm, so depending on when you arrive you might be able to see hay being harvested. Again, this a newer campsite so improvements will be made based on demand.
New and hopefully "easier to get to campsite" entrance: To enter the property, you will use a field entrance right off Harrington Hill Road (coming from the west it will be on your left-hand side). Entrance is directly across from the wooded area where the campsite is at and you will be going through an active hay field to reach it, but the path should be defined enough in the field that you can follow the tracks from previous cars.

The sites are nice and large for our travel trailers and the area in between is spacious for our dogs to run around. The beach and lake is a short walk from the campsites and is absolutely beautiful!! We visited the Barcelona Lighthouse, the Dunkirk Lighthouse and the 21 Brix winery during our stay.
