2015 Niagara Wine Escape

Site 85, Riverside Park Campground & Motel, Niagara Falls, Ontario, CA

Like last year, I got a head start & arrived at the Riverside Park Campground & Motel on Thursday. I took NY 104 all the way to Niagara Falls, NY, and crossed at Rainbow Falls. The procedure for crossing with an RV has changed since the last time I crossed here - you now pull up to a stop outside the main building, go inside with your passport, answer the usual questions, then go back to your vehicle & wait for them to bring back your passport. It only took a few minutes, and was shorter than waiting in line for the usual border check.  It might be more of a problem if a bus load of people were ahead of you...

Since I wasn't planning to attend this year (I was going to stay in the West after my trip to Alaska, but came stomach problems had me coming back to Oswego early - with a change in medication, I'm now doing much better) so with a late registration, I'm on the outskirts of the group in Site 85. A water & 30 amp electric site with a concrete pad for $36.63 per night with fairly slow WiFi. I'll try to see if my MiFi can pick up a Verizon tower across the river in the US.

I'll add photos and details each day of the rally.  Here is the link.
