Niagara Falls, New York
July 24, 2006
I had been to Niagara Falls before, but my son and girlfriend had not, so I figured this would be an ideal first destination for our trip. It took over 6 hours to get there, so it was dark when we arrived. We set up out tents at the KOA campground on Grand Island, then went to view the falls at night. They light them up with multicolored filtered lights from the Canadien side, so the Falls changed colors every minute or so. The volume of water is astounding! A couple visiting from Houston asked us if we knew which way to the falls. Um....follow the roar of the water? We walked around the park a bit, then went back to our camp. It was a small site, not enough room to set up two tents, so Tyler decided to just sleep in the truck. Tomorrow we will spend the day exploring the area, on both the US and Canadian sides.

Camping Close To Niagara Falls
This was the first campground we stayed at on our cross country trip and the second-worst. I wouldn't recommend them for tent camping, as the spaces are too small and too close together. The site was not big enough four our truck and two tents...my son had to encroach on a neighbors area with his tent. Plus, it was crowded and we had "partiers" on either side of us. Fortunately, we didn't spend a lot of time there, only long enough to sleep. If you are tent camping at Niagara Falls, go to the KOA on the Canadian side...it's much better! If you are renting a cabin or traveling in an RV however, you will probably not be disappointed. Like most KOA Campgrounds, they have small wooden log-cabin like structures that are a step up above a tent, most of these were located around a small pond on the property. This campsite is located very close to the Falls.
