Situated on the shores of Lake Ontario, this expansive state park provides RVers with a blend of natural beauty and convenient access to one of the world’s most famous landmarks. The park is characterized by its open grassy fields and spectacular sunset views over the water, making it a favorite for travelers who appreciate a scenic, well-maintained base camp in Western New York.
Location & Surroundings
The park is located in Youngstown, New York, just 15 minutes north of the American Falls. Its position along the shores of Lake Ontario creates a unique microclimate and provides a tranquil atmosphere. Travelers often spot local wildlife, including Great Blue Herons and white-tailed deer, throughout the marshy areas and hiking trails. The surrounding landscape is a mix of lush woodlands and coastal vistas, offering a serene escape from the nearby metropolitan areas.

- Electric hookup sites suitable for various rig sizes
- Modern comfort stations with hot showers and laundry

While the sites are mostly grassy and level, the park also provides a convenient centralized dump station and fresh water fill-up area for self-contained rigs. The layout is designed to accommodate both smaller campers and larger motorhomes with ease.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
The primary draw is the short drive to Niagara Falls State Park, where visitors can experience the Maid of the Mist or Cave of the Winds. Even closer is the historic Old Fort Niagara, which offers a glimpse into 18th-century military life. For those interested in local culture, the nearby village of Lewiston features charming shops and the Niagara Wine Trail. Fishing enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to the Lower Niagara River, renowned for world-class trout and salmon fishing.
Who This Park Is Best For
This park is ideal for families and nature lovers who want to visit the Niagara region without staying in a crowded commercial lot. It appeals to RVers who prioritize scenic views and quiet evenings over resort-style luxuries like swimming pools or cable TV. Because of its large, open sites, it is also a great choice for big-rig owners looking for easy navigation and plenty of space to enjoy the crisp Lake Ontario breeze.

Very roomy sites, clean bathrooms, and great views. I used the "Discover Niagara Shuttle" and it was an amazing free service. I had no issues getting to my destinations or on the way back. Mike and Dominique were very friendly and informative and my trip wouldn't have been the same without them.

Near Niagara Falls, around 20 minutes by car, there is a large campground on Lake Ontario. It's a clean place with a beautiful view where you can enjoy a campfire after visiting the falls. Some campsites have electrical connections, access to clean drinking water, and well-maintained bathrooms.

Nice campground. We had site 252 great spot. For the amount of sites and people the grounds were quite. Dogs are welcomed. We enjoyed access to Lake Ontario. Checked out Devils Hole. And of course Niagara Falls. Unfortunately we could not visit Canada across the Rainbow Bridge as we had hoped as we have a Pitbull Mix and the Provence of Ontario does not allow Pitties. Had a great time however enjoying Niagara State Park. Would enjoy visiting Four Mile Creek again

A great state park that seems out of the way but super close to all things Niagara Falls. We had a site just next to the foot path to Lake Ontario and it was amazing. Not the most amazing amount of shade to tent camp but having the lake right there allowed us to cool off. Amazing host staff. Showers were great. This is a nice campground that feels a bit out of the way but also close to really cool stuff

The site map made it look like sites were small and we'd be crowded, but we were VERY pleasantly surprised ! They are somewhat narrow but are very deep so there was lots of space to set up our tent further back from the road. The bathrooms were ALWAYS clean although I never saw that that had to close them to achieve this! Well done! The camp store was very convenient and the prices weren't inflated - the soft serve ice cream was great with very generous portions. The FREE shuttle to all things Niagara was so unexpected and convenient - only downside was you had to leave downtown Niagara about 3:30 so that you wouldn't be stranded. This would be great with small kids but I had trouble getting my teens going before noon! 😅 The only possible negative thing is that there's no swimming beach, but we knew that going in.
