This campsite is a haven for groups seeking a peaceful getaway surrounded by nature. It's the only campsite available on 140 acres of forested land, offering a serene atmosphere for everyone to enjoy. But, what makes this campsite stand out is how dog-friendly it is. If you're looking to take your furry friends along on the adventure, this is the perfect place for you. The site has plenty of place for them to run and even water to play in. The forested property also includes a 3/4 mile section of the old Erie Railroad, providing a unique opportunity to explore the area's natural beauty and history. Take a stroll along the level railroad bed, and you'll be surrounded by the rustling of leaves and the chirping of birds. This campsite offers a fantastic opportunity to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and immerse yourself in the tranquility of nature. And, if you have furry friends, they can be part of the fun too. A 150 square bunker is on-site just in case in rains. It has lights and the wifi works inside too. We have a nature camera located about 1/4 mile upstream from the campsite, check out the channel https://www.youtube.com/@EriegroveVisit this large, private campsite and discover a unique piece of history while enjoying the peaceful surroundings. The campsite is located next to an original stonework trestle built in the 1850s for the Erie Railroad. You can wander along the abandoned railroad bed, hike through the stream with a shale bottom, or relax by the fire with a view of the water. The stream, which is mostly shallow but deepens in some areas, has an abundance of perfect skipping rocks. The campsite covers 140 acres, giving you plenty of space to explore. Campsite features: - Flat space for several tents - One 2 mile and one 1/4 marked hiking trails - 160 square foot shelter - A restroom (sink and flush toilet), with running non-potable water - An established fire pit and plenty of wood supplied - A small building to store your gear - WiFi for when you need to stay connected - A solar powered charging point for electronic devices, located inside the small building A perfect spot for a boisterous family gathering, or a couple just wanting a beautiful, quiet place to get away. Dogs welcome. 10 minutes from Thruway exit 58, Silver Creek The walk from the parking area to the campsite is about 250 yards down an established trail. Children age 6 and under may stay free of charge. Please do not count them in the total camper number.

10/10 Site

My family goes to this campsite 2-3 times per year- we absolutely love it! It is such a beautiful piece of property, and Keith has it incredibly well maintained. The site has so many bonus features that enhance the camping experience including the many table set ups, string lights, marked trails, tripod grill, rock slab table, solar ground lights, and more. For our last trip, there was an unexpected storm (a big one- hail was involved) and we had a great time just hanging in the trailer and watching the storm. It's so nice to have a little shelter to keep things and people dry when the weather isn't cooperating. All in all- 10/10 site

Erie Grove is wonderful! This was my second stay at Erie Grove and has proven to be my favorite find on Hipcamp. It's private, beautiful and has some great amenities like the flush toilet and solar light setup. The site even came with a curious owl on my latest stay! 10/10

Epic camp spot

The site at Keith's spot is awesome! It was our first hipcamp experience and this really hit spot. The space is balanced with the creature comforts and the off grid nature. Great spot to have the pup(s). They can bark all they want without neighbors to worry about. Keith is also a superb host being responsive when needed! Also the toads showing up for campfire karaoke was hilarious.

This was a great place with a ton of space, so it's very private. The dogs loved the freedom and the creek. The bathroom and other buildings were a nice addition. We would definitely visit again

We love Keith's place so much. This is our third time back at this site. Every time we visit, there are upgrades to the campsite (not that it needs anything more, but noted that Keith takes pride in his site and we appreciate it!). He was very accommodating with the inclement weather and always very responsive. This really is the best spot for campers with dogs who can be off leash. Ours have so much fun! We always wish we could stay longer. Thank you!
