Site 2 - Big Tree Camping
Close to Buffalo and yet it feels like you’re in a woodland when you park at Site 2 behind the garage. It’s manicured but the host has made available a wisteria covered hammock shelter, a fire pit and wood, picnic table and more. We had planned to visit the Graycliff House designed by Frank Lloyd Wright for the Martin family. It’s only 20 minutes’ drive from the Big Tree campsite. We also took in dinner and a movie at a nearby shopping center. David was helpful and communicated with us. We hope this site is available next summer when we pass through the area again.

Site 3 fire pit
We booked David's tent site last minute for the eclipse! We are very glad that we were able to find this place. David was helpful and responsive throughout our entire stay. There were two other families staying in the two other tent sites but everything was far enough away for our stay to feel private.

David was a fantastic host! He was very responsive and friendly! His property was beautiful. My husband, nephew, dog and I stayed at Site 1 (which is closest to the house) - this was great for late night & early AM bathroom trips, but I would recommend staying at Site 2 out of all three! It is the perfect spot between the house and the fire pit. Then Site 3 was right next to the fire pit. Nonetheless, you cannot go wrong with any of these sites as you are able to roam the grounds and have fun! The swings and hammock were a huge plus - the kids were loving the swing!!! I highly recommend David’s place for beginner campers, family camping trips, and campers who want to be in nature but not far from civilization. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Site 1 adjacent tent parking
We had a roof top tent on our car and we’re able to park and chill behind his garage. It was quiet and he met us briefly and loaned us some camp chairs. We were able to use the bathroom just inside his house 4pm- 830 am and had the option to make a fire in the back of the property. Beats a hotel room anytime! We were 10 min from Eternsl flame falls hike and had a great night! Thanks David!

Had such a lovely experience camping here while visiting Niagara Falls! Only 30 minute drive to the falls. The host was very kind and took the time to show us around the property and amenities. Would absolutely stay here again if in the area!

I really enjoyed my stay, though it was brief for one night as I was passing through and I had a late start for travel. David is an excellent host who provided great communication as I gave updates on my arrival time. Once there, David showed me around and made sure I had everything I needed. I highly recommend staying at the campsite anytime you are in the area.

David is a great host. He has a lovely large yard, quite a surprise tucked in a neighborhood just a stone's throw from the Bills stadium. We really appreciated the bathroom he made available just inside his back door. The shared firepit is tucked at the back of the property and very nice. David also has firewood available for purchase. All in all a great location and a lovely spot to spend a night!

David’s place is beautiful! Right off the road you drive around his home to a HUGE backyard. It feels like it’s own forest in itself! We have a tent that connects to our car so we park just behind the garage, most other tents would probably set up near the fire pit in the very back of the yard. It’s stunning back there and set up so well, even has wood for sale for the fire pit! David gave great recommendations on what to do around town and where to eat! His communication throughout our entire stay was impeccable! And! If you’re there for a Bills game, you could just walk to the stadium! Amazing location!! Would definitely be back and recommend to anyone!

Private Forest and Meadow
Big Tree Camping
My family and I had a great time here. Didn't know what to expect with it being so close to the Buffalo Bills stadium, but it turned out to be super private and so comfortable; it was like we were sleeping in the middle of our own private forest. The grounds were well maintained and the grass felt so good on bare feet. The fire pit was great. My daughter loved playing on the hammock and the swing. The host, David, greeted us when we arrived and was very friendly. Would definitely stay here again!!

Lovely spot to camp!
Big Tree Camping
Wonderful camp site, soft grass to rest the tent on, and a peaceful and private space surrounded on three sides by tall beautiful trees. David was extremely responsive and a great communicator. The spot and accommodations were immaculate. A really nice spot to stay around the Buffalo area. Highly recommend. Perfect for our small family of three with small kiddo as a stop off on a multi-day road trip.
