Niagra's Lazy Lakes Camping Resort, Lockport, New York

     Our drive into Niagra's Lazy Lakes was a long one from Vermont.  We opted to take I-90 to save some time knowing it was a toll road.  It set us back $45 dollars to do so.  Driving into the campground coming from the east was a bit tricky as we had to watch bridge heights and weight limits.  Once at the campground all was good.  We were able to pick a site (in half the park as we're not members of the park, but can camp here for free through our Coast to Coast)  a found a good one with plenty of grass and shade.  Also, not being a member caused us to cut our visit shorter than we would have liked.  The weekend we hoped to stay was a Canadian Holliday and the campground was blocked out for non-members.  The campground itself is beautiful with nice sites, two pools, two lakes, and all the amenities you would expect to find in a camping resort. (no pickleball)  It also only has 30amp sites with no septic available to non-resident campers.  The park is located just twenty minutes from Niagra Falls which was very convenient for us.

     Having just two days to explore, we decided to first visit the Canadian side of the falls.  It is much more touristy and built up than the American side.  So we took a tour to the base of the falls and behind it.  We also went to the Imax theater to see "Legends of the Falls" (it was disappointing)  We took a few minutes out for lunch and tried our luck in a Casino and didn't do very well.  On the second day, we stopped off at Whirlpool State Park on our way in.  We learned quite a bit of history about the falls and the Niagra River from a park volunteer.  Then we drove back to the falls and visited Niagra State Park.  The park is exceptional and is worth a visit.  We got out to the observation tower to see both falls, then made it to Goat Island (which is between the two falls)  From there we could get right up to the edge of the Canadian falls.  We decided that we would walk around the island and took a few minutes to walk out onto the three sisters islands which are small islands above the Canadian falls, where several signs were posted for the really stupid.  On the other side of Goat Island, you can walk out onto "Hell's Half Acre".  It's another island right above the American Falls which divides the river forming Bridalvale Falls.  Below Bridalvale, people can walk out onto decks and get the full falls experience.  I sort of wished we had taken the time to do so, maybe on our next visit.
