We purchased an upgraded patio site. The site we were assigned was an extremely narrow and had us pushed up against a bath house. After being escorted to the site we knew immediately our RV wouldn't fit and we couldn't even extend our slide. There was probably 10-15 open equivalent sites- I have no idea why they would put us in their worst site when the campground was at maybe 50% capacity. I a... We purchased an upgraded patio site. The site we were assigned was an extremely narrow and had us pushed up against a bath house. After being escorted to the site we knew immediately our RV wouldn't fit and we couldn't even extend our slide. There was probably 10-15 open equivalent sites- I have no idea why they would put us in their worst site when the campground was at maybe 50% capacity. I asked to switch sites and the office was amenable and the site we were next assigned was much more in line with the website description of what we had paid for. Other than that we found the campground very pleasant. The amenities were very nice- our kids thoroughly enjoyed the playground. Had we gone during a time when the pool was open it would have been super nice- the pool areas looked great. The drive to Niagara Falls was very easy- a short distance but far enough from the city enough to be the type of experience we prefer. Recommend the Niagara Gorge River Trail- it was beautiful!

Grand Island KOA is one of the most charming and well-equipped campgrounds I’ve ever visited, and it’s perfect for anyone looking for a mix of outdoor adventure and convenient amenities. The campground welcomes tent campers, RVs, vans, and even rental cabins, including a few dog-friendly cabins which is amazing for pet owners. No matter what type of stay you choose, every accommodation is clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully arranged — even the most basic cabins feel cozy, spotless, and ready for a comfortable visit. The property has so much to offer, it’s hard to know where to start. There are multiple dog parks on site, including mini dog parks for premium campsites, which makes it easy for furry friends to get exercise and have fun. There are also two pools, a fishing pond, a playground, and a recreation center, along with rental options like go-karts and bikes, so there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Every campsite comes with a fire pit, and the store sells firewood, making it easy to have a classic campfire experience. Grand Island KOA is incredibly convenient. It’s just about 15 minutes from the Rainbow Bridge, which makes crossing into Canada simple, and it’s a short drive to local grocery stores or other necessities. The campground is also located right next to an amusement park, which makes it a perfect home base for a fun-filled vacation. Booking is straightforward, and they’re very accommodating when it comes to special requests — we’ve always been able to reserve specific cabins or sites with no issue. The after-hour check-in is seamless, adding an extra layer of convenience for late arrivals. There are multiple bathhouses on-site that are well-maintained and clean, ensuring comfort no matter where your campsite is located. Everything about Grand Island KOA feels well thought out, from the cleanliness and organization of the cabins and campsites to the range of activities and amenities available. Whether you’re traveling with pets, kids, or just looking for a relaxing getaway with easy access to Niagara Falls and the Canadian border, this campground delivers on every level. It’s a perfect spot for outdoor fun, comfort, and convenience all in one place, and we’ve loved every visit.

Great park. Clean. Easy check in after hours. Text message and easy check out. The park has wonderful amenities in a great location to the falls and also to a lot of food options close by. They pick up your trash! It was friendly and easy. Two great things in the RV life

First time stay with KOA. Pleasantly surprised with every aspect. Arrival & departure a breeze. Clean and cozy accommodations [deluxe cabin]. Perfect location for visiting Niagara Falls. Staff very friendly and truly hospitable - making sure all of your needs are met. We will definitely be visiting more KOA sites in the future.

Boat in only and well worth the effort. This site is very private, quite secluded from other sites, has phenomenal 300 degree views of the lake and a sandy beach. We took the kids on this trip and they had a blast playing in the woods and on the beach. The fall colors were stunning.

It was a wet weekend, but so much fun. The campground staff were great, and the outhouse was fine - no smell. The site was super private and would be so awesome if the weather has cooperated with us. Lots of stone to swim from! Good sheltered cove for our 21 ft center console. We stayed at campsite #10, this pin is the wrong one, sorry!

I was extremely disappointed with the website information available regarding there sites, the campsite 37 we had was not child friendly , there us a 10 ft bluff for kids to fall off and die. No where to park boat without hitting the rocks surrounding the access to the site. Across the lake from our site is a lodge that had car alarms going off, children screaming and a bell that rings 6x a day....
