Branches of Niagara Campground and Resort is a stunning new edition to Grand Island, and one of THRIVE!’s recommended places for spring, summer and fall family fun. The newly built 90 plus acre campsite opened last year attracts families from across the nation who may be in town enjoying some of the wonders of our area not the least of which is Niagara Falls, just a 10 minute drive from the grounds. Whether a camper, vacationer, RV camper or tourist, Branches offers a getaway without leaving any known trace of civilization enabling you to enjoy the camp experience and if needed escape to a local pizza joint for dinner. The campground, started by a group of already successful local business people is not just another profit engine but a way to contribute to the beauty of our region, something they are counting on to keep the business strong.
The distinct mark of Branches is its ability to tie in a “camp” experience for kids, while the whole family gets a weekend away. With things like crafts, zip line, scavenger hunts and community sports along with the resort like pool, boating, fishing and hiking, Branches ties together structured and free time in a combination that suits visitors like a glove.
While one of the most difficult parts of camping for any family can be the cleanliness of the facilities Branches shines with clean facilities, modern amenities and good upkeep along with family bathrooms for extra privacy for families with little ones. The standard cabins comfortably fit a family of 4-5 with one master bed, one pull out futon bed and a loft which easily sleeps another 2-3 on a blow up mattress or sleeping bags. Upgraded suite cabins with full kitchen and bath are also available on first come first serve basis.!
