3 nights at The Quarry

Highly recommend! Beautiful place and great host. Clean, quiet very clean restrooms. Biking rail trail runs through the campground if you like to bike. We will definitely go back.

Weekend Trip to The Quarry

the showers are great and the host was chill asf- the heaters in there were useful

1 night at The Quarry

Well, we got in late and there was a lot of snow, but they sent somebody to plow ahead of us and make sure that we would enjoy our trip. That’s impressive service considering it’s the middle of winter and I’m sure that they don’t have too many bookings this time of year. Can’t wait to visit during the warmer months And enjoy that beautiful lake and view.

Weekend Trip to The Quarry

We were pleased with our stay at Neils place. He offered us the campinghouse, so we could celebrate a warm and comfy XMas. We had clean and warm toilets and showers. We had nice conversations with Neil and even with his father Bob. We absolutely recommend this place, Thanks for all, Fam. Thierer from Germany

2 nights at Hideaway Valley

Had a great time at Williams camp! Tons of room to spread out and pretty private. The views of the river bank are awesome. Communication with William was great too.

1 night at Tomtuga on the Erie Canal

Tom is a great host! The spot is quiet and secluded but close to anything you may need. Tom even started the fire for us. We will try to stop by in the summer.

Weekend Trip to The Quarry

Neil is a great host. The property is very cool, lots of places to settle into. Bathroom facilities were very nice. My son and I had a great night of tent camping here, and would definitely come back.

Weekend Trip to Tomtuga on the Erie Canal

Super nice and knowledgeable host! Has a website that is super helpful. Had a balst here, stayed 2 nights!

Weekend Trip to The Quarry

Neil was so welcoming and helpful, and the campgrounds are fantastic! This was great for late season camping, I will certainly plan on more trips out here.

Weekend Trip to Big Tree Camping

David was extremely friendly and accommodating! Such a great stay!

Weekend Trip to Becker Farms | Vizcarra Vineyards

Great spot! Excellent camping area with plenty to do while you are there. The lack of communication was a touch unsettling, however, everything worked out fine and I would return.

Weekend Trip to Zoar Valley Forest Retreat

One of the best campsites ever. I booked for Father's Day as a surprise but ended up having to cancel because of a conflict. My husband randomly booked this site, not knowing it was the same one I booked for him a few months earlier, so I guess it was meant to be! The sites are huge, big fire pit, private, and my dogs loved being off leash. Can't wait to go back in the summer!

Weekend Trip to Tomtuga on the Erie Canal

Went to to Thomas’s camp site for the first time and we were blown away! He is incredible and so kind. Gave us ample access so our kids could play and helped start a fire and all. Super accommodating and beyond caring. Property is immaculately well kept and we loved that the white water bins had lights in them. Our children and all adults loved it! Felt magical to us :) we will be back

Tomtuga on the Erie Canal

4 sites · RVs2 acres · Gasport, NY

Thank you for looking at what I have to offer. We love to have fun here. Which is why we call our little campground Tomtuga. It is sort of a reference of the Caribbean pirate island of Tortuga, except my name is Tom. I'm here mostly for the canal and living the pirate life but there have been sightings of Bigfoot and his cousin Yeti. They show up once in awhile to keep things interesting. Here at Tomtuga we are 2 acres with the Erie Canal across the front on a quiet street and the Genesee Valley Transportation, a local shortline railroad across the backyard. Boat season is May - Oct. Train runs mostly just two days a week all year. Step out and give the boats and trains a friendly wave. We are a hard packed base that can handle the very large RVs. Campsite #1 is where the 50amp / 30amp / 110 electric outlets are. Campsite #2 is the only area that has a "good" grassy spot. With only two campsites, along with my RV here, it is a rather peaceful camp. There are no bathrooms here, so I'm sorry but no tent camping available. We offer ''Buddy Camping'', in which if you are traveling with friends in a 2nd RV / camper. I allow you to both camp on the same campsite #1. You still need to book campsite #4. If you have more camping friends, I can add more campsites for each camper using our "Overflow sites" for booking. This is just a clerical thing for charges. Actually campsite #1 can hold three campers. Also if you don't need power, like you have solar or batteries etc. I might allow you to park anywhere on our two acres. You book campsite #3. You can check the property out before setting up. I allow 2nd vehicles or also ''toads'' on the campsites too at no charge. I'm Ok if you show up early from an overnight drive to the site and park in the main driveway. If there are not any previous campers onsite, I might let you into the site. Just let me know beforehand. *No bathrooms on the property! You must have self contained units! When I get the bathroom built, this will change. **Again, NO Bathrooms here! If you try to book posing as a ''campervan'' but just a van or staying in a cardboard box on a trailer, don't book here. Please go stealth camp at Walmart, they have bathrooms and are free to overnight. I wouldn't pee in your yard. No water hookups. No dumpstation either. We have free WiFi. Firewood available for $5 a bundle or bring your own. The local gas station has small bundles down the street for $8 each. * Please ask me before you let any of your dogs off leash. If there are other campers here, we all need to be in agreement on this. For their children and pets safety too. I do allow multiple dogs here. Again, please clean up after them. Do NOT just toss it into my woods or the canal. Nice small canal town here with local eateries, including two pizza places; two bars and a breakfast lunch spot / laundromat / hardware store / Dollar General / gas station. We have a veterinary in town too. All within a short walking distance. NYS Bike path on the opposite side of the canal, goes from Buffalo to Albany. Some 350 miles. Also a free NYS Canal boat ramp 1,800ft to the east, on our side of the canal. So bring your bikes / kayaks / boats / fishing poles. Rentals available in Lockport. Worms available at the hardware store in town. We are also open during the winter season, Uh yep. Please message me before hand because it depends on the snow depth if I'm letting campers in. *Special Bonus Offer - I am an online ordained minister and offer wedding nuptials here at Camp Tomtuga. Our twist is having your vows done by Rev Bigfoot or Padre Yeti in full regalia. Comes with an actual wedding certificate (you still need a license to make it legal). Cake is an extra fee. NO Dumpstation here!!! There is one 20 minutes south, just off the NY Thruway at the Flying J Truck Stop. 8484 Allegheny Rd, Pembroke. It is in the RV fuel island. Costs is $10. Get the code inside. *Ask about our free camper sticker or buying a Camp Tomtuga T-shirt. The shirts are Made to Order and can be mailed out afterwards. Hey if you could, when on the booking page it asks you to "Say Hello". Please tell me what kind of camper you are coming in like an RV or trailer and the size. It asks you that question right above that but I don't receive that info till much later. It just helps me gauge on placement here. I have plenty of room but it's nice to know what it showing up. Thanks Lots of people asking so, we are 30 miles from Niagara Falls. Very easy ride there and back using NYS Rt 104. This route goes along the Niagara escarpment with lots of farms stands and a few wineries. Most of my guests use my campsites as a basecamp to then go and explore Niagara Falls or even day trip to Toronto Canada 106 miles away. I provide a list of local NY info / places to visit in Canada and my experience on crossing the border. My camp to downtown Buffalo is 38 miles. To downtown Rochester is 51 miles. Lake Ontario Olcott Beach is 17 miles. Letchworth NYS Park 60 miles. We are 42 miles to the Buffalo Bills (Highmark Stadium). Thanks again, I hope you come and stay.

Untill a couple years ago the acreage on this property had been farmed.In 2018 we decided give the farm land back to nature. It's amazing how quickly the land recovered! Our remodeled farm house was built in 1876. We've found many treasures on the property from past generations of farm families, everything from old bottles to horse shoes. We purchased this place in 2003 with hopes there would be grandchildren in the future and what a beautiful experience we could give them. Since then we've been blessed with a grand daughter and three grandsons. There is little to compare with the peace you feel in a quiet country environment like ours.Learn more about this land:We offer a nature preserve camping experience. Sunlight dancing off our expansive meadows of hiking trails is a tranquil site to behold.A multitude of song birds,butterflies and dragonflies make for a relaxing connection to nature.

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.
