Summer is in full swing, and it’s officially camping season!
If you love getting outdoors and away from the chaotic and sweaty energy of NYC in the summer, we have a brand new recommendation on where to go…and may we even suggest turning it into an extended weekend trip!
HTR Niagara Campground, located on Grand Island, just minutes from Niagara Falls, has been named one of the best places to camp in the Northeast by The Dyrt, a popular camping app that compiles reviews from real campers across the country.
Why HTR Niagara Campground earned its title as one of the best in the Northeast
Coming in at #9 in The Dyrt’s Northeast region list, HTR Niagara offers a premium camping experience surrounded by nature while staying close to one of the world’s most iconic destinations.
The campground features 96 sites and includes a variety of accommodations—from tent sites with electricity to full-hookup RV spots and even log cabins and yurts for a unique stay.
Guests can enjoy two heated swimming pools, a private beach, mini golf, and a playground. During peak season, the campground steps it up with kayaking, ziplining, laser tag, and outdoor movie nights—all included in your stay.
Additional perks include golf cart rentals, firewood and propane delivery, a dog park, and sparkling clean bathhouses that campers rave about.
One reviewer in The Dyrt’s list even said: “The bathhouses are some of the nicest I’ve seen… So much to do that’s included in the price of the stay, which I thought was very reasonable.”
While nightly rates average around $77, many reviewers say the experience is well worth the price, especially considering the sheer amount of family-friendly activities available on site.
