Tips when camping in Niagara Falls
You as a parent have to remember that kids' safety and security takes priority over everything else; when choosing the right campground, campsite, camping gear, tent, tools, forest activities, wilderness exploration, etc...
For example; sleeping bag is a great choice vs. a regular blanket, where your kids will feel more secured and comfortable during the fresh nights.
Try to book a family campsite, if there is any available. Choose also the campsite that is near the bathrooms, trafficked areas and other family campers.
Some camping sites provide very clean washrooms with flush toilets, free hot shower and even coin laundry facilities. This is per our opinion places where you should take your kids, like Riverside park campground. For kids or your family needs it is sometimes important to have stores with firewood, ice, groceries, snacks and drinks available.
On the other side, if you require more activities, including pools, baseball diamond, horseshoe pits, you might want to choose popular campground, Shalamar Lake; right after Queenston Heights and between Niagara Falls and Niagara on the Lake.
Movie theatre, mini-golf, heated pool are all available at Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Niagara.
If you prefer camp park near Niagara Falls, there is one at the south end of Marineland, King Waldorf's Tent and Trailer Park, KOA and Campark Resorts very close to each other on the Lundy's Lane.
Tent camping Niagara Falls
One of the right choices when choosing the appropriate tent is a dome tent that will fit the season and Niagara weather and climate.
If your plan is camping in summer, when it is hot outside, you need a tent with features that allow a good air circulation.
In winter, you need a waterproof tent with two coats, one coat is a tent cover and the other one is an inside wall.
Remember, tent is only for sleeping, not for cooking or any other activity. Based on how many people are camping, choose the right size, so it is comfortable when sleeping.
Even if you are a first time camper it is not a big deal to establish a campground and build a shelter, as long as you have a basic camping gear.
Our recommendation is to make a camping checklist based on the list below, so you won't forget something important.
