If you take the time to travel out along the shores of Lake Ontario in New York, you’ll find all sorts of amazing parks along the waterfront. With school out for the summer and many of us ready to enjoy a good road trip, indulging in major summer activities like camping is an absolute must. The majority of our state parks may offer camping, not all of us are willing to sleep on Mother Nature’s often uncomfortable floor. But have no fear! That’s where places like this stunning park in Niagara County comes in handy.
Out along the beautiful bluffs of Lake Ontario, Four Mile Creek State Park is a great summer destination to explore if you’re traveling to Western New York.

But if you aren’t interested in camping here and don’t have your own trailer, then looking into reserving one of Four Mile Creek’s yurts might be the right adventure to take this year!

Right out near the water, Four Mile Creek has a village of six yurts that opened up to the public only a handful of years ago.

The yurts have beautiful hardwood floors and also come with AC / Heating units to make sure you’re as comfortable as possible while staying here. That’s not an option you’d have in a tent!

All featuring their own wrap-around decks that you can lounge out on, these yurts are the ultimate way to get out and enjoy nature while finding that sweet spot between roughing it and full-blown glamping.
