The best camping in Lake Erie State Park, NY guide

Overview

About

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.

Came in late, but the attendant was super friendly and the site was well kept, appropriately lit and I felt very safe while alone. Already thinking of plans to stay again!

Beautiful Campground with SPECTACULAR views!

35 ft travel trailer · With pets ·

This campground is FANTASTIC! When you think State Park there is almost always a compromise, but not here. We stayed on site A23 for a week in mid-July. The campground was busy, but not over-crowded. The campground itself is well maintained and the shower houses are clean. There are tent and RV sites available, with 15/30/50 amp electric service. The water hookups are NOT at each site, but there is one CLOSE to each site, so you can run your house over, fill your tank, and disconnect. The playgrounds and picnic shelters (multiple of each) are in great condition and the views are EPIC! The staff working the office were kind and helpful, and the park ranger Tom stopped by to ask how our visit was. The campground is a GREAT jumping off point for the local area and all the conveniences you could need are within 15 minutes. We will be back again!

Relaxed campground on Lake Erie

Campervan ·

Lake Erie SP Campground is a relaxed, family friendly campground on the shore of the lake. There is only a very small rocky beach here. If you're looking for a campground with a sandy beach, I'd recommend Evangola State Park to the east. The campground itself has a good mix of open (good for solar, Starlink) and shaded campsites. All sites lack privacy so I would not sweat site selection. I was able to book a site last-minute about 2-weeks before my trip in mid-may (Still early in the camping season, likely a different story come peak summer!)
