The Heron is an Organic Farm, Event & Wedding Venue, and Campground. A place to connect deeply with nature & art, eat real food and create lasting memories! We are the home of the Great Blue Heron Music Festival and the Green Heron Growers. For more information on our farm, our Farm Store and our Events, visit our website, theheron.org You'll notice a handful of weekends that the campground is closed or would appear fully booked; those may be times that we have ticketed music festivals happening, in which case you can find that information on our main website. Our many camping and lodging options allow families to relax, enjoy nature, and create memories. We have around 100 sites throughout our 300 acres, some woodsy, some with views of the rolling hills and some with electric service. The Heron grounds boast a swimming and fishing pond, and over 4 miles of on-site hiking trails. Located on over 400 acres in beautiful Chautauqua County, NY, we are a working organic farm with a shiitake mushroom yard and on-site farm store. We host weddings, educational workshops, retreats, private events, captivating music festivals, and much more! We offer many different options for camping, from tent sites nestled in the woods to RV sites with electric hook-ups (electric site reservations are to be made on that specific listing and are limited). We allow pets, all dogs must on a leash 6ft or shorter in length and held by an adult, there is a $20/stay pet fee for pets that can be paid prior to arrival. Beach/Swimming Rules: Two adults 18 or over are required to supervise when there are children swimming. (Even if only one child is present.) No swimming outside of the designated/roped swim area. No watercraft allowed anywhere in the pond. Do not use soap in the water, we have showers! No alcohol, no glass or open containers. On-site Phone is for Emergencies only (located in the beach hut to the left of the beach area). Creating a reservation is your agreement with this rule. Local Attractions: Panama Rocks, Chautauqua Institute, Chautauqua Lake Overland Trail (The Westside of Trail) over 35 miles of hiking, Chautauqua Gorge, Audubon Nature Center, Rails to Trails, Ellicottville Brewery, Southern Tier Brewery & Distillery, Lake Erie Wine Trail, and much more!

Great Vibes, bring an eye mask
Wonderful people around - friends and family that live on site. So much to see and do, especially during Wellness Weekends with scheduled events! Please bring an eye mask, or consider camping away from the lights that line the woods paths. Some of them flash all night, and some might be angled straight at your tent!

First time camper and Herons land exceeded all expectations! The owners and the staff were very welcoming and showed us around the campsite. We were able to choose where we wanted to stay after they showed us around. There are several portapotties available and a few shower stalls. Showers are $5. There are sinks with running around in the same area as the stalls. They even have a cute farm store loaded with tinctures, organic meats, teas, etc. They have PLENTY of firewood and ice! Herons land set the bar and we can't wait to come back!

The park and carry to the primitive sites were easy. Nice and groomed campsites with ready fire pit. Lovely land with tons of beautiful trails. This land hosts the great blue heron music festival every year, so there’s extra added charm. The clear night sky was fantastic. Got some pork chops and eggs on my way out at the farm. Also- a plus that my dog was welcome!

Great spot! Super easy to get to. The area we stayed in was nice and woodsy, even on the hottest day we were very comfortable. We loved the farm stand!
