Niagara Falls Canadian Side Larger Rig

Looking for recommendations for NF on the Canadian side for a larger rig. Last time we went there was when we had a pop up. Our 5th wheel is approximately 36' long. Would like to have 50 amp full hookup. We really enjoyed Riverside but not sure they have sites large enough-could be wrong. We are looking to go in 2017. Any suggestions would be welcome and appreciated.

Thank you.
  • Well speaking from western Canada and because I have a rig like yours it sounds like, that calls for 50amp service ( cable size) I have yet to ever use 50 amps of juice.
    The campgound we are in is old and a mom and pop place where there are only a few 30 amp sites and 90% of the sites are 15 amp.
    They were asked why they haven't upgraded the power system and the answer was easy $$$$$$$$$
    On another note I don't have two AC units and hardly ever use the one I have. The only time we pop the breaker for our site is when it is cold and we have to meany heating until a of one type of another plugged in.
    So....
    Around here there are no campgrounds with 50 services at all, and there are probably 20 campgrounds with in a 75 mile circle. There is a new private campgound being built and I would bet they have 50 amp services, but at that place your buying the site to put your rig on.
    In bigger centres closer to toureststy areas or newer ones I would bet you could find some, but the old mom and pop places I bet not.
    Best bet would be to order a tourist guide for the area / region you want to visit and then send the campgrounds a note or phone them and ask about there power and other services your looking for.
    But again, I'm from the west side of the Great White North, it could be a lot different back east.

  • Hello. The KOA in Niagara falls on the Canadian side has lots 100' and less with 50 amp. There is also a shuttle bus to the falls as well as 3 swimming pools one that is indoor.
  • Not sure if they have 50a, but sherkston shores is nice.
  • We just returned from the Niagara Falls KOA this past Sunday.

    We had the 100' site with 50A service.

    If you would like to see a dinner show the Oh Canada Eh? (next door to the KOA)was a funny and very entertaining show.
  • My dad parks his big rig at yogi bear... They have a nice big pull through section....
  • Thank you for the feedback. Has any ever stayed at Dressel's Jordan Valley Campground?
