Bought this place 13 yrs ago it was nothing but bare land. I've cleared out an area to camp, play, and enjoy the world. Find this as a good chance to share the outdoors with new ppl. Every year we host a Tree fundraiser called "May We Begin" where we replant as many trees with tree shields as we can raise funds for.
Learn more about this land:
The feeling of peace is about 1 mile off the road. Pulling into Apple Cove you'll see we've cleared areas for tents and small van style RVs. There is an individual fire pit for each camper, a small rock bottom creek runs through the 15 acres for a nice, relaxing view of the woods. The kids and I set up a swing set, and a spot by the creek to play and splash. Now, New York is a 420 friendly state. Enjoy yourself but please be respectful of others

State park 34mi from Elma · 261 sites
15 minutes from Niagara Falls, Four Mile Creek State Park is the ideal base camp for hikers and waterfall enthusiasts alike. The park sits along the shores of Lake Ontario and offers trails through wooded bluffs for those that like to get their hike on. If you go gaga for furry creatures, visit the marsh at the mouth of the park's namesake creek. You may come across white-tail deer or blue heron. The campground is scattered throughout a grassy field so don’t count on privacy here, but look on the bright side! More visibility equals less worries as your youngsters run wild. If you have a taste for unique structures, book a yurt for you and up to six of your closest amigos. Good news campers, pitch your tent here and with a flash of your camp permit you get free parking at all area state parks.

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.

3 nights at Angie's Country Cabins B&B
We had a fabulous three nights staying in the Country Cabin at Angie's Country Cabins. The Country Cabin has it's own parking and outhouse and is secluded from the rest of the property. You are able to follow a path to the main site during the day, but I wouldn't recommend it at night. (That's ok, it is literally a 20 second drive.)
We had a great time meeting and chatting with Angie's family and other campers. Every morning we walked over to the main site and had a coffee, showered, and had a relaxing start to our day. Each night we settled around the community campfire and made some food, chitchatted with other campers, and one night pulled out guitars and jammed for a bit.
We are already talking about going back in the winter and staying in Reynolds Rustic Retreat -- hopefully we have a few feet of snow and can escape from the world.
Angie was always quick to respond to answer questions, both via phone and on the app. In addition she has videos, instructions on the amenities, and various books/games/etc. in the cabins.
Stay here, relax for a few days, and get off the grid!

Our family had a fantastic stay at Creekside on camp road. The cabin so nice and very very clean. The site had more than enough seating for our large family and areas for us to set up tents. The outhouse was well maintained well lit at night. The creek was just perfect for our 7 year old to play in the water and even watch some deer go by. Leah was incredibly attentive and answered any questions we had right away. We will definitely be back.

The location is great, quiet, and convenient. There are a ton of accommodations from comfortable seating, campfire, showering, outhouse, grill (propane and charcoal), cover, lights, power, and games. There’s practically no wind to disrupt cooking or outside games and you can even bring the dogs.
My family, most of which have never had any interest in camping, had a great time. I also enjoyed the proximity to closeby parks. Leah was also an excellent host and was always available.

Leah’s campsite was wonderful. There were more amenities than we thought! The space was well thought out with a lot of additional comforts. The hammock and hanging chairs were great to relax in. The creek was a perfect for our children 11, 9, and 6. The cabin provided everything we needed for a comfortable stay. There was plenty of seating throughout the campsite.

Weekend Trip to Creekside on Camp Road
My family loved camping at creekside cabin! We wanted an easier camping weekend as we didn't feel like dealing with tents. Creekside was such a GEM! The cabin was so roomy, clean and cozy! The property was private and right on the creek. The gazebo area was a beautiful spot to relax, play games and still he outside if it rained! (We lucked out only a sprinkle the morning we left). We played and walked in the creek, cooked fun camp food and enjoyed fires in the fire pit by the creek all day and night! We can not wait to come back! Leah was a wonderful host! She was so responsive and helpful. We are so thankful we found such a cute spot to camp! Thanks again for hosting us!

Sarah's land was absolutely magical!!! Probably my favorite hipcamp sight I've used. They had great amenities - a very clean and "high end" outhouse (which is a funny thing to say, but it's true) and we all loved the elevated deck for stargazing and the underneath for hammock naps. The river is a wonderful value-add as well. Lots of swimming holes with water deeper than 5' both up stream and down stream. Over the site was well maintained, well planned, and had everything you could ask for (and more) for a fun camping weekend.

Weekend Trip to Angie's Country Cabins B&B
Thank you Angie for a great stay! She is definitely trying to make the property a destination! The cabin is located slightly down the street from their house. Beautifully set up! We enjoyed being a bit more secluded considering we had dogs. We didn’t use their hot tub but were welcomed to it! The property as well as the local area was flooded due to weather. We stayed for one night (due to a cancellation of another Hipcamp) but were happy to find the spot for future use! Thanks again!
