This campsite is a haven for groups seeking a peaceful getaway surrounded by nature. It's the only campsite available on 140 acres of forested land, offering a serene atmosphere for everyone to enjoy. But, what makes this campsite stand out is how dog-friendly it is. If you're looking to take your furry friends along on the adventure, this is the perfect place for you. The site has plenty of place for them to run and even water to play in. The forested property also includes a 3/4 mile section of the old Erie Railroad, providing a unique opportunity to explore the area's natural beauty and history. Take a stroll along the level railroad bed, and you'll be surrounded by the rustling of leaves and the chirping of birds. This campsite offers a fantastic opportunity to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and immerse yourself in the tranquility of nature. And, if you have furry friends, they can be part of the fun too. A 150 square bunker is on-site just in case in rains. It has lights and the wifi works inside too. 10 minutes drive away from the Cattaraugus Indian Reservation with tax-free gas and smokeshops. Check the current weather conditions with our live streaming nature camera located about 1/4 mile upstream from the campsite. https://www.youtube.com/@EriegroveVisit this large, private campsite and discover a unique piece of history while enjoying the peaceful surroundings. The campsite is located next to an original stonework trestle built in the 1850s for the Erie Railroad. You can wander along the abandoned railroad bed, hike through the stream with a shale bottom, or relax by the fire with a view of the water. The stream, which is mostly shallow but deepens in some areas, has an abundance of perfect skipping rocks. The campsite covers 140 acres, giving you plenty of space to explore. Campsite features: - Flat space for several tents - One 2 mile and one 1/4 marked hiking trails - 160 square foot shelter - A restroom (sink and flush toilet), with running non-potable water - An established fire pit and plenty of wood supplied - A small building to store your gear - WiFi for when you need to stay connected - A solar powered charging point for electronic devices, located inside the small building A perfect spot for a boisterous family gathering, or a couple just wanting a beautiful, quiet place to get away.

We absolutely loved Streamside! Indoor areas were very clean and we, including our dogs, loved the creek and trails on the property! The bunker lights were really cool - play around with it at night!

10/10 Site

Tent · With kids

My family goes to this campsite 2-3 times per year- we absolutely love it! It is such a beautiful piece of property, and Keith has it incredibly well maintained. The site has so many bonus features that enhance the camping experience including the many table set ups, string lights, marked trails, tripod grill, rock slab table, solar ground lights, and more. For our last trip, there was an unexpected storm (a big one- hail was involved) and we had a great time just hanging in the trailer and watching the storm. It's so nice to have a little shelter to keep things and people dry when the weather isn't cooperating. All in all- 10/10 site

Erie Grove is wonderful! This was my second stay at Erie Grove and has proven to be my favorite find on Hipcamp. It's private, beautiful and has some great amenities like the flush toilet and solar light setup. The site even came with a curious owl on my latest stay! 10/10

Epic camp spot

Tent · With pets

The site at Keith's spot is awesome! It was our first hipcamp experience and this really hit spot. The space is balanced with the creature comforts and the off grid nature. Great spot to have the pup(s). They can bark all they want without neighbors to worry about. Keith is also a superb host being responsive when needed! Also the toads showing up for campfire karaoke was hilarious.

We love Keith's place so much. This is our third time back at this site. Every time we visit, there are upgrades to the campsite (not that it needs anything more, but noted that Keith takes pride in his site and we appreciate it!). He was very accommodating with the inclement weather and always very responsive. This really is the best spot for campers with dogs who can be off leash. Ours have so much fun! We always wish we could stay longer. Thank you!

We loved tent camping here! The tent spots are nice and flat, the creek is beautiful, and having a working bathroom is amazing! We unfortunately had to cut our trip short so we didn't have a chance to hike the trails. But we will definitely be back!

Great for groups with kids/dogs!

Tent · With kids

Everyone loved this site (including our dogs), we had 10 adults, 6 kids and plenty of space for more tents. Creek walking was the best, very shaded, we were also able to dry hike and bike a bit, also it was only a 12 minute drive to visit lake Erie (beach).

Nature, Quiet, and Convenience!

Tent · Group trip

We had a great camping weekend here! It's the perfect mix of rustic with amenities. We had a group of 7 adults and 4 dogs and we had a great time walking the trails, enjoying the creek, and identifying the wildlife. The amenities of the site, such as the bathroom, the storage pod, and the very large picnic tables made the weekend so much more pleasant. Keith is great, too. He was very helpful and responsive. We will be back!

The perfect nature getaway

Tent

We had the best time at Eriegrove. The campsite had a great cooking grate, bathroom facilities, and hiking trails. There were also perfect trees for our hammocks and Slackline. We spent a lot of time walking in the creek with our dog. The host, Keith, met us right when we got there and showed us around. He was very kind and responsive to our messages. We can’t wait to come back!

Love it here

Tent · Group trip

We absolutely love camping at Streamside! Keith and his dad were incredibly helpful and the campground area is perfect. It’s the best place for a larger group, with plenty of space for tents, dogs, and generally just getting to stretch your legs and enjoy nature. Make sure you follow the directions and if you are coming here for the first time, park at the top and walk down to ensure you’re comfortable driving all the way down.

One of the best campsites I've used

Streamside at ErieGrove is an amazing campsite and I can't wait to visit again! The setting along the creek couldn't make for a better setting. The bathroom and solar panel power are a nice touch. The site is very spacious and private. Keith was very helpful when we first arrived. Loved this place!

Awesome Camp!

Tent · With pets

My family (11 humans and 4 dogs) absolutely loved camping at Keith’s camp, Streamside at Eriegrove! What did we love? We loved the privacy of having 140 beautiful acres to ourselves. We loved walking the marked trails on the property, walking the old rail line, as well as walking the stream itself. We enjoyed the lovely picnic tables and fairy lights, having the bunker for indoor games when it rained, and of course, the sound of the stream to fall asleep and wake up to! The vibe of the space was so warm and welcoming! Thank you so much for allowing others to enjoy your camp!

The BEST campsite around

Tent · With pets

A group of friends and I all have a yearly camping trip where we’ve been going to various state parks. Our sites ended up being under construction last minute and we are we’re scrambling to find a plan B. I found this place and we all enjoyed it so much this will be our new yearly place. Having somewhere for the kids and dogs to free roam and have fun without worrying about being too loud was huge. I don’t think our dogs have ever been so tired from having as much fun as they did. There’s so much space for everyone, the flush toilet was a plus and most importantly the creek being right next to us was awesome. I couldn’t have asked for anything more from a campsite. we all can’t wait to come back!

My favorite camp to date!

Tent · With pets

I've been camping since I was 18. I am 36 now. This is now my favorite camp. The Allegheny National forest has been ruined by RV campers and partiers. Many places don't allow pets and aren't private. I drove from Ohio to check this site out. Being there in person makes you understand that the photos don't do it justice! The stream runs aside camp. You can hear the waterfall from that little tunnel which, by the way, happens to be below where the Erie Railroad ran! You can walk the flat path that remains. The rest of his land is clearly cared for! There are a handful of trails, which I hiked multiple times. As a primitive camper, I appreciated having a toilet so much! The first night had a storm accompany it. Around 3am we ran to the shelter that he recently placed there. I appreciated that so much! The storm passed quick and I slept like a baby the rest of my trip. The stream is full of life! Minnows, tadpoles, tiny frogs, toads, wild flowers, you name it. I love that so much. It's totally private and quiet, which gets huge points. Dog friendly!!! Best part! Your dogs can run free or simply be present. So many places don't allow pets. I didn't want to leave. Wish I could've booked another night. I'll be back! If you want peace, space, dog-friendly spaces, nature, hiking, history, and items that make camping a little easier on you - go here. Thank you!

Fairy tale stay

Tent · With pets

This is our third time staying at Keith’s place. Keith has put so much thought and effort into this piece of property and it shows! Running (non-potable) water to wash your hands with, a flushable (real) toilet, solar to charge phones, and some outbuildings to store gear. Keith’s place is 100% private and feels like something out of a fairy tale. This is our 3rd time here and we will continue to come back. Our children can be children here without the worry of them bothering other campers. (To be honest, when we are at Keith’s property, our children are feral and only show up when they are hungry. 😂) We can also bring our 4 dogs and let them be dogs without worry. We are already trying to decide when to book another weekend. Thanks, Keith!!
