Amy and The Stone Shanty were perfect for our stay while attending the hot air balloon festival at Letchworth State Park. Amy was super friendly and incredibly kind! Her property, including a pond, are great for stay while exploring the area. And her sweet doggie, Lulu, was a highlight with her daily visits!

We got a few camp spots because we were in a group. Travel trailer and tents. Both were perfect. Pond is nice with beautiful fish to look at. We didn’t get a chance to fish but we will be back

Lovely people, refreshingly quiet! A lot within a couple hours of this place, or you can just hang out and enjoy the peace. Got a lot of rest I needed, plus the opportunity to see Niagara Falls for the first time in my life, as well as found a few gems of breweries/restaurants/coffee shops I otherwise would have glossed over if I had just stayed at Niagara. Owners do have quite the collection of miscellaneous items around the property. Didn’t bother me, but if you’ve only stayed at manicured campsites and/or are someone who does not like clutter, this location might not be for you…
