All About Top A Rise Campground
Welcome to Top A Rise Campground, your serene getaway nestled in the heart of Chautauqua County, just 4 miles off the highway. Our family-owned and operated campground spans 43 beautiful acres, offering a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature’s finest. From stunning sunrises across the valley to tranquil wooded areas, Top A Rise is a destination where you can truly unwind and make lasting memories.

Over the past 15 years the Campground has gone through tremendous improvements, with a commitment to continuing enhancements into the future. Our mission is to provide a welcoming and safe environment for all ages, where families, friends, and pets can come together to enjoy the great outdoors.
One of the highlights of our campground is the peaceful koi pond and waterfall located near the camp store. This serene spot is perfect for relaxing and enjoying the calming sounds of nature. In 2025, we’re excited to introduce our latest addition—gem mining! A fun activity for all ages, gem mining lets you sift through the dirt and uncover hidden treasures. It’s sure to become a favorite for families and adventurers alike.

Our vibrant community of seasonal campers is at the heart of what makes Top A Rise so special. Known for their friendliness and willingness to lend a hand, they’ve helped shape a warm, social atmosphere that feels like family. Whether you’re here for a weekend getaway or an entire season, you’ll find plenty of opportunities to connect and make friends.
We take great pride in the variety of activities and events we offer throughout the camping season. From small, intimate gatherings to larger celebrations, there’s always something happening at Top A Rise. Regular events include Coffee Mornings, Poker Games, Beanbag Baseball, Bingo Nights, Mini Discos, and Trivia Nights. Our campers’ enthusiasm brings these events to life, and we’re grateful for their support, which helps us create so many special moments.

The Events Field is where the magic happens! This expansive space is perfect for hosting some of our most beloved activities, such as the Camp Olympics, Summer Carnival, Golf Cart Parades, Foam Parties, and Beach Days. Whether you’re cheering on your team, enjoying a carnival game, or simply soaking in the fun, there’s never a dull moment here.
Our history stretches back to the late 1950s, and we’re passionate about preserving and sharing it. We’re actively gathering more information about the campground’s origins and would love to hear from anyone with historical stories, photos, or memories to share. This rich legacy is an important part of what makes Top A Rise unique.

In addition to the fun, we’ve made significant investments in amenities to ensure your stay is both comfortable and enjoyable. Our brand-new playground is a safe space for kids to play and explore. We also offer a well-stocked camp store, propane refills, firewood, ice, and much more.
At Top A Rise Campground, we’re more than just a place to camp—we’re a community. Whether you’re a seasoned camper or visiting for the first time, we invite you to explore our little corner of Western New York. Contact us today with any questions or to schedule a tour. We can’t wait to welcome you!
