About Lake Erie State Park

Campground in New York.

Lake Erie State Park offers a captivating waterfront camping experience along one of North America's most iconic Great Lakes. Located in Western New York, this scenic destination provides RV travelers with direct access to the stunning shoreline of Lake Erie, known for its dramatic bluffs, sandy beaches, and ever-changing water views that shift with the seasons.

The park sits in a region rich with natural beauty and outdoor recreation opportunities. The landscape features the characteristic geography of the Lake Erie shoreline, with picturesque vistas that make for memorable sunsets and peaceful morning views. Whether you're an avid angler, nature photographer, or simply seeking a serene waterfront retreat, the lake itself becomes your primary attraction and entertainment throughout your stay.

The surrounding area offers plenty to explore beyond the park boundaries. The Western New York region is known for its agricultural heritage, charming small towns, and cultural attractions. Lake Erie's southern shore has developed a growing reputation for wine country, with wineries and farm-to-table restaurants dotting the landscape. The region's history runs deep, with connections to the War of 1812 and Native American heritage visible throughout the area.

For outdoor enthusiasts, the park provides access to excellent fishing opportunities, hiking trails, and water-based activities. Bird watchers will appreciate the location along the Atlantic Flyway migration route, particularly during spring and fall when thousands of birds pass through the region. The lake is also known for its clean sandy beaches during summer months, attracting families and water recreation fans.

This destination works wonderfully for RV travelers seeking a peaceful, nature-focused getaway with genuine waterfront camping. The combination of scenic beauty, outdoor recreation, regional attractions, and the peaceful rhythm of lakeside living makes Lake Erie State Park an excellent choice for those wanting to experience authentic Great Lakes camping.

Stayed at the campground for 1 week. Park is clean and mowed regularly. Bathrooms are clean but outdated. Sites have gravel pads which are severely overgrown with weed. Also narrow pads and most not level. Many trees require trimming, some preventing access to the site for larger rvs. A few hanging into the roads as well. Staff has been friendly when interacted with. Biggest plus are the gorgeous... Stayed at the campground for 1 week. Park is clean and mowed regularly. Bathrooms are clean but outdated.

As well as the park Erosion, Electrical lines coming out of the ground, closed camp sites. They have signs, caution tape and wood fencing in some spots but still scary with kids running around and bicycling. We would try somewhere else next year.

Nice place to camp. Not as woodsy as other places but still very nice. Clean facilities and 4 dump sations for a small campground is extremely efficient. Water fill ups throughout.

Just a great atmosphere and a great place to camp with a perfect view of the sunsets every evening.

It was a nice camping ground and people were welcoming. I recommend bringing a small hammer if you have a tent so you can get stakes in the ground. Also, when swimming please use caution as once you get in the water it's a mix of sand and rocks that can be very slippery especially the smooth ones.

This campground is FANTASTIC! When you think State Park there is almost always a compromise, but not here. We stayed on site A23 for a week in mid-July. The campground was busy, but not over-crowded.

We stayed on site A23 for a week in mid-July. The campground was busy, but not over-crowded. The campground itself is well maintained and the shower houses are clean. There are tent and RV sites available, with 15/30/50 amp electric service. The water hookups are NOT at each site, but there is one CLOSE to each site, so you can run your house over, fill your tank, and disconnect. The playgrounds and picnic shelters (multiple of each) are in great condition and the views are EPIC! The staff working the office were kind and helpful, and the park ranger Tom stopped by to ask how our visit was. The campground is a GREAT jumping off point for the local area and all the conveniences you could need are within 15 minutes. We will be back again!
