We had a wonderful day at Niagara Shores Campground. Are sight backed up to Lake Ontario. We had a great view of some stunning sunsets. The owner Dave was very helpful throughout our visit. If you are visiting Niagara Falls this is a great place to camp. The newly renovated bath house was spotless. The showers were clean with plenty ty of hot water. I would definitely recommend this campground.

Absolutely incredible campground, amazing lake views, spectacular sunsets, the campground is huge and has a very positive energy that emanates around the campsite. also it’s a very clean place. Dave who is one of the owners was very friendly and courteous, along with the staff as well. I stayed here for a week with awesome lake views from my RV site, thoroughly enjoyed my stay here. Will definitely be back next year. Niagara Shore campground is a gem waiting to be discovered by camping enthusiasts.😀👍🏻

We were accommodated on a pretty last-minute basis and set up everything within a day. The woman I spoke with was very helpful in explaining the process, as being on a campground was a relatively new experience for us. We stayed for two nights. We never actually ended up meeting the owners because we arrived and departed each day after office hours. It was a pretty straightforward “show up and make yourself at home.” The cabin was very rustic - full of spiders and moths but that wasn’t unexpected. If you’re going to go out into nature - expect nature to be there! Our cabin had lighting, air conditioning, and a fridge which all functioned well, but no water and no cell service. Bathrooms were clean and maintained. The area between the restrooms and office have free WiFi to connect to, we would walk there when we needed to use our phones. The grounds were clear of litter and grass looked to be cut regularly. We never felt uneasy or unsafe there. Seeing kids running around a people walking their dogs made it a more home-like experience. Overall a good experience and I would recommend this place to anyone who wants a camping experience without it feeling too primal.

We stayed in the bunk house this past weekend it was amazing, we loved the view of the lake, wish the beds were a little more comfortable though as a person with a bad back it was not friendly. Wish there was a little more for kids to do as the playground was small and out dated. But it definitely is at the moment more for adults to get away and enjoy some adult time. We will definitely be back for a future stay.

This place is beautiful. We stayed in Hickory cabin and the view was unreal . The staff was very nice and helpful . My opinion that the camp is more for adults that just want to get away . Not much for older kids to do at this time. They just bought this place so still working on update. My opinion they need closer bathrooms from the canin we were at .I would definitely camp there again.
