Experience the serenity of nature at its finest with our 3.4-acre bare land sanctuary. Nestled amidst a breathtaking tree and grapevine yard landscape across the street, this private retreat boasts a tranquil pond that reflects the beauty of the surrounding foliage and towering trees. The musical roar of the nearby train track adds a touch of nostalgia to the peaceful ambiance, creating a truly unique and unforgettable setting. You'll feel the vibrations of the train on the grounds. ***There is no fencing for dogs, and since it's near train track, please keep an eye on your dogs.*** Pitch your tent, park your RV, camper or tiny home and get away from the traffic! We plan to add an RV pedestal for electricity sometime in July. There is a shed on the property that is planned to have a washer and dryer and water soon. (check back for updates). The owner lives on property with her Tiny Home and dogs. Enjoy exploring nature onsite or at one of many nearby parks. Casinos are also close-ish for a fun night out. Have a nice fire at night to cook on or just relax and take in the serene surroundings. Escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and immerse yourself in the rejuvenating embrace of nature. Explore, cast a line in the pond, or simply bask in the natural splendor that surrounds you.

Chautauqua Lake Glamping

Bemus Point, NY · 2 sites · Tents, RVs
7 Acres of open land with pond and some trees and very close to the famous Chautauqua Institution and Chautauqua Lake. This property includes some buildings which I’m working on renovating but it’s ready for guests to bring their tents and RV. $50 per night per tent. I will have Port-O-Pottie at the beginning but as business increases I’ll put the money back into getting more classy amenities. Now you can choose your site and as I get more business I will have dedicated sites.

The best dog-friendly RV sites in Chautauqua Lake guide

Where to go

South Shore

Located near the southeast end of the lake, Jamestown is home to a lively performing arts scene, along with the Lucille Ball Desi Arnaz Museum, the National Comedy Center, and Audubon Nature Center. You can camp along the lakeshore and find options for tents and large RVs with full hookups and cabins, plus plenty of amenities.

West Shore

The town of Chautauqua is the home of the Chautauqua Institution, a renowned cultural and performing arts venue. Tucked away in a secluded wooded area just south of the town is Camp Prendergast, which offers tent sites and RV sites with full hookups and amenities like a swimming pool. 

East Shore

At the town of Bemus Point, Long Point State Park juts out into the lake and offers a modern boat launch, fishing dock, pavilions, and several trails. Just north, one of the oldest amusement parks in the country can be found at Midway State Park. The only bridge across the lake can also be found here, connecting to Stow on the western shore of the lake. 

North Shore

The county seat of Mayville can be found at the northern end of the lake. Continue north and you’ll hit Lake Erie, with plenty of options for enjoying the water, and more than 20 wineries. Lake Erie State Park offers easy lake access and a campground on a bluff overlooking the lake, and more than 100 tent and RV campsites and cabins. Further south along the shore, Evangola State Park is another option, while several private campgrounds sit right along the shores of Lake Erie.
