We made a reservation for five nights just to do some sight seeing in the area, but we liked the park so much we added another five nights. The sites are fairly large, and the grounds are beautiful. Since our site was close to a water spigot, we were able to refill our water tank halfway through our stay without having to move the coach. Check their map when reserving to see where the water spigots are. Also, the entire campground is on Google Street View so you can see each site. We had 50 amp service which was nice since it was very hot the first few days of our visit. The showers were modern, clean, and a short walk from our site so we used them every day. It was also a short walk to the shore of Lake Ontario where our dog went for a swim every day, and on clear days we could see the Toronto skyline across the lake. When we checked in, our 50 amp outlet wasn't working, but the 30 amp was. We reported it to the office and in five minutes someone came out, tested it, and replaced the 50 amp breaker and all was well. Great service! We were from out of state so our fee was $29 per night but we thought that was reasonable. We had weak Verizon signal but no AT&T throughout the park. With our cell booster set up we had strong Verizon LTE and medium AT&T 4G (good enough for phone calls, but data was slow). The park filled up during the weekends but was mostly empty on weekdays. Overall we found our stay to be relaxing, peaceful, and quiet, and we almost stayed even longer. In addition to Niagara Falls, be sure to check out Fort Niagara!

This is an absolutely beautiful campground. Not only does is run parallel to Lake Ontario but it has so many wide open spaces to enjoy! The location to Niagara Falls can't be beat nor can the price for what you get. This is a well cared for campground. The restroom/bathing facilities were clean, warm and inviting. The trash bags were emptied continuously and the showers were awesome. Nice warm water for as long as your little heart desires. The views from this place were stunning and it's big enough to get lots of exercise. I will definitely be back. Thank you New York State Parks! http://www.rvlostyet.com

We stayed here while visiting Niagara Falls. Site 331 was a dry site, huge with shade. Shower house was clean and fairly modern. A short walk tools us to views of Lake Ontario. There was some road noise but by quite hours it was nonexistent.

We stayed at Four Mile Creek State Park for three nights while we visited Niagara Falls and other attractions. The park is very large and was not even half full on the September weekend we visited. The grounds are well maintained and spaces have good separation.

There is a large playground for the kids, showers, bathrooms and a small laundry facility. Large trees throughout the park, although privacy between spaces varies from none to well screened. Most of the campground is on a high steep bank above the water, but there is one place you can access a bit of rocky beach. There is also a mile or so (round trip) nature trail through the woods and along a wetland. I would have loved to give this park 5-stars EXCEPT for their arbitrary and rabidly enforced back-in only rule.

We chose a "premium" site along the lake front and pulled in early on a Friday. Having just left another NY State Park (Lake Erie) where we drove in rather than backed in to take advantage of the view – we did the same here. After leveling and setting up in we noticed the camp brochure said all sites were “back in only”. Hmmm… our coach was parked entirely on the gravel, what possible difference could it make which way we were facing??

That evening we were approached by another camper who made it his business to inform us all sites were back in only. He seemed very upset when I questioned what difference it made and he could offer no logical reason, other than “It’s the rule!”. I said if the Rangers wanted us to move we would, he apparently then made a beeline to the camp host who came knocking on our door and demanded we turn our rig around.

We did so, and our wheels and jacks were virtually in the exact same spots as before but we had completely lost our lovely view of the water. Keeping rigs off the grass was the rationale I was given for the back in only rule, but that clearly isn’t relevant for Class A’s. Other Class A campers were also frustrated, so it wasn’t just me! For its arbitrary and inflexible back-in only policy, the park loses at least one star.

We had 3 bars of 3G unboosted, but we managed 3 bars of 4G with the booster.

This state park has great amenities and is right on the lake with some lake view sites. The sites are on grass, so they get a little muddy when there is rain. The 'waterfront' sites are actually not next to the water and we had a site in the 79+ area that had better views of the water.

While, there are not full hook ups, there are electrical sites. The staff is friendly and we enjoyed our stay here.

The $24 a night includes the non-resident on NY of $5 per day. Also included was the $9 reservation fee.

Note that we camped in the tent dispersed area as we did not need electricity.

As you arrive, be sure to stay to the right of the office. There is a very small RV parking area for registration. After waiting behind another couple, we were promptly registered and sent on our way with a map. No information about the park or amenities. Office staff seemed a bit overwhelmed with only three couples in line.

We found the dump site prior to setting up. Note that there is no potable water at the dump site. You need to find a spigot within the park, there are many, to fill your RV. Unfortunately there is no pull off areas near the spigots.

Finally arrive our really large site. Doesn't look like it has been mowed in weeks. No gravel parking here. Just back up onto the grass, and I stress BACK IN as it seems to be a rule, and set up camp. After 5 days they finally mowed our area.

We've had a chance to really explore the park. There are a few really nice water sites around #226.

However, there are some horrible sites on hills and valleys. Some of these were electric and I'm not even sure how someone would get there RV or trailer into one of these sites. Just be aware. The electric hookup area is packed really close.

Bathrooms were clean. There are three laundry facilities at the park each with two washers and two dryers. We opted for a laundromat in Youngstown. Just a few minutes drive. Very clean older equipment but seems to be well maintained.

This was a convenient place to stay for trips to Niagara Falls.

Big spacious sites. Nice restrooms. Electric only, water inconviently located throughout park. Sites well back from lake with overgrown bushes blocking view and access. Close to the falls. Would stay again, just wouldn’t expect much. No cell service on ATT, marginal on Verizon.

This place is beautiful. Huge Weeping Willie trees and you can’t beat being on the lake. We had site 228 which was right on the lake. However there are some trees partially blocking. So it’s not a full view. Sites 222, 240 and 95 I believe had the best views. The sunsets were amazing each night and it was best how everyone went to one of the large fields to watch it together over the lake. Great playgrounds for the kids and bathhouses were rather nice.
It seems like there is absolutely nothing around you but things aren’t far. Niagara is maybe 20 minutes and there are wineries and lighthouses further up the lake about 10-20 minutes. Staff at the check in was a little like the Twilight Zone though. Incredibly antiquated building with three people at the check in counter. There was one older woman and two teen boys who never looked up from their phone. I really enjoyed staying here. Everyone was happy and friendly and due to the lack of cell service you really felt like you were relaxing.

Remember to fill your water tank, then enjoy a beautiful park with large sites. Level and spacious, we enjoyed this state park for visiting the nearby Falls.

Interior roads are wide and free of overhanging trees. Our satellite connected in a level, electric-only site. Fire pits are set up to reduce the smoke blowing into other campers.

Small camp store on site has pizza and minimal necessities. Nice drive to see the falls and other locations in the area.

We enjoyed our time here.
