We’ve stayed at Scott’s for a few years and the staff have always been polite and ready to help if you need them. , sites are large and clean, washrooms are always clean, an all around well maintained park. They are dog friendly which is important. You can leave your garbage at the end of your site and someone picks it up for you everyday. Water and electricity hookups work great. Overall We h...

They are dog friendly which is important. You can leave your garbage at the end of your site and someone picks it up for you everyday. Water and electricity hookups work great. Overall We have no complaints and would definitely return when we travel to Niagara.

Love this place. I stay for a baseball tournament every year. It's central to most of the venues, it's affordable and the staff is friendly and helpful. We asked for a site swap this year as we were pulling in, because we liked the site with a tree, and they simply said sure. No hassle. Bathrooms are decent, but full hookups allow you to use your own. I look forward to my trip there next year... Love this place. I stay for a baseball tournament every year.

Fairly priced for the area. On arrival I was a bit concerned with the dumpy campers and trailers around the parameter not to mention the strip club, "gentleman's" club and "spa" across the street. After walking the grounds and walking to the grocery store I felt safe. The transient site area was clean and nice grass. Bus stop was right out front. The train did not bother me.

Staff was ok but not overly friendly or knowledgeable when it came to tourist questions. We walked to the KOA next door and got our bus passes after googling.

We stayed slightly over one week at this campground. As others have said yes the pool and washrooms are a bit dated but everything is very clean and in good working condition. In fact the water in the pool was extremely clear compared to many other campgrounds I have visited. The water, electric and sewer connections worked perfectly. Some people complained about the electrical but that was proba... We stayed slightly over one week at this campground. As others have said yes the pool and washrooms are a bit dated but everything is very clean and in good working condition. In fact the water in the pool was extremely clear compared to many other campgrounds I have visited. The water, electric and sewer connections worked perfectly. Some people complained about the electrical but that was probably before it was updated. Many of the power pedestals are fairly new. The playground is ok it has all of the basics. Yes there is a train track but it is behind a wooded strip of land that separates the campground from the tracks. The train would pass once or twice per day it did not really bother us. Keep in mind the two other campgrounds next to this one are also up against the same train track. Yes as others have said there is a gentleman’s establishment across the street. We did not hear any noise coming from there. Just some lights, but once we were in the camper with the blinds down we would no longer see them and it didn’t bother us. One thing I did not like is the fact that the front gate would operate 24/7 some people would drive in late at night. I would have liked it if the gate would have stayed closed after a certain time until the next morning.

We only used the dump station because the other options were closed in the area. The station worked, but it was rather unkempt. The water hose was lying in the dirt. The path to it has deep holes and puddles. We've traveled extensively throughout Canada and the USA, but we've NEVER had to pay $30 for dumping waste. That's a lot of money for so little service. Hence the poor rating.

We loved this campground. It is one of our favorites so far with lots of wooded private sites or open and spacious. Tons of amenities and most were free which was a nice change from the nickel and dime a lot of campgrounds like to do. The staff was super friendly and it was an incredibly busy weekend in October.

Tons of amenities and most were free which was a nice change from the nickel and dime a lot of campgrounds like to do. The staff was super friendly and it was an incredibly busy weekend in October. Even with how busy it was the campground was exceptionally clean and the facilities never fell below perfect condition. The guys did an outstanding job running the Zipline and OG took time out of his day to talk with us and answer a few questions we had. We are looking forward to making this a regular spot for us.

I have to add that the camp store is ADORABLE!

This was our first time staying at an HTR campground and we WILL be back. It was so well kept, clean, and had the nicest staff. Owen was so awesome! He told us about the campground and was just a kind soul! We can’t wait to plan our next stay even with us being 3.5 hours away! I could go on and on about all the perks. Everything you’d want in a campground. It was nice being 15 minutes from Niaga... This was our first time staying at an HTR campground and we WILL be back.

We rented a cabin. One bedroom with a futon in the living room and a bed in the loft. Had one bathroom where toilet paper was provided but hand soap was not. Great proximity to Niagara Falls. Staff at the store was very kind but prices were definitely high. Cost $80 USD to rent a golf cart out.

No room rating since we brought OUR OWN :-) Niagara Campground was so convenient for our unexpected "seat of the pants" decision to turn east rather than North to the U P.

We had wanted to visit the Falls and changed our plans to make it happen this trip. The facility and grounds were clean and nicely maintained. They were just putting up the Fall/Halloween decorations nicely done. While the front sites seemed relatively full we enjoy the quiet of the back 40 with fewer campers. This was our first time hearing of the HTR brand and enjoyed the Military Discount. (thank you for that) We will be looking for future properties as we Hit The Road (HTR) and continue on our Happy Trails.
