Riverside Park Motel and Campground

There were pros and cons to this campground. We had reservations for 5 days, but were able to add a day to the beginning of our stay with no difficulty. We were well aware of the need to pay cash, we were prepared for that. We were greeted by a very young barely 14 year old young man. We were sent to a site that wouldn't even fit our 13 foot camper, and only had a 110 plug. Spaces are small and very poorly marked. The young man did his best to help find us a site, and after 3 sites that were not well identifiable, we set up. Within an hour, he was back telling us that we owed an additional fee per day as our reservation was not for 30 amp service. Rather than argue since we were set up and the internet was so poor I could not pull up my original reservation, we paid the additional fee. Bathrooms were cleaned daily, but were in need of work. Poor water pressure. There was a washer and dryer, coin operated. I lost 3 dollars in the washer, but when advised of this, the owner made no effort to reimburse me. WiFi is spotty, and is not free. The charge is $2 per device per 24 hours, and any service is extremely poor. The grounds are pretty, but again need work. A large tree that had been trimmed and was obviously dead came down within 5 feet of a tent and broke a table. Nothing was done during the 4 days we were there after to remove it. Lots of flying insects. We did not utilize the pool. There is a nice little putt putt. The drive along the Niagara Parkway is absolutely beautiful.

Nice campground close enough to Niagara Falls without being in the tourist hustle and bustle. Easy on and off the QEW. Views of the river are fabulous and love that the Parkway trail goes right past. The on-site picnic tables are in great shape and nice fire pits. Washrooms are clean and well-maintained. Quiet and friendly fellow campers. We were there with a group of 3 trailers and were able to get sites all together, which was perfect. The sites were quite tight so would have been less desirable if we didn’t know the people in the adjacent sites. Same with getting in and out of the sites. Having to pay with etransfer is a bit of a nuisance. But we enjoyed our stay and would definitely camp here again!
