Niagara Falls Campgrounds

Tourist guide to Niagara Falls campgrounds, camping and tips for a good campsite location

When booking one of the Niagara Falls campgrounds and have a worry free camping experience, there are many factors that have to be taken into account.

Types of Niagara Falls Campgrounds

There are two basic campground categories you can choose from: private and public.

Private campgrounds are owned by private businesses or individuals, with RV parks and campsites. You can see them mainly in scenic areas, giving you a feeling of natural environment with many outdoor activities.

Public campgrounds are usually run by the government. They can be found in national parks and forests.

When you first arrive at the Niagara Falls campground, you'll stop at the campground office and check in. Ask for the map of the campsite.

At some sites you can buy fire logs, to make a campfire, as it is not allowed to use the branches from the campground.

Niagara Falls campgrounds - tips for a good campsite, tent location and more

Reserve a site that is higher than a level ground, just in case if it is raining.

Find a shady spot, but don't put your tent under the tree. If it is raining, the tree can attract a lighting bolt, and when the rain stops you will have annoying drops a long after.

Be closer to the water source.

Find an adequate area for cooking, the one which has a grill and picnic tables. Don't leave a campfire unattended.

Niagara Falls campgrounds have the areas for cleaning dishes. Protect the nature and use bio-degradable soap and toss the soapy water away at the designated areas.

Garbage bins should be away from the campsite, don't leave food on the ground as it may attract animals (raccoons) during the night.
