Good timing! My wife and I were talking just yesterday about summer camping trips with our teardrop and she said she has never been to Niagara Falls. We would be interested in a gathering if we can schedule it. She works for a food processing plant and has difficulty getting vacation time in the summer, their busy time. Let's see if any others are interested.

How hard is it to get an American Passport? Or are you considered an "illegal alien"???

I just checked out the American Passport page. $100 for a ten year passport+ another $60 to get it real fast. Man... That's $320.00 for two.......Takes a real slice outa your paycheck. We just got ours..cost$160.00 for two for five years....Damn those Iranians anyway....

You can check, but for a land crossing, I think you only need a birth certificate and a drivers license. To fly, you need a passport.

As of June 1/09 you need a passport, wether American or Canadian. American gov't are talking about a special card.... but you still have to apply for it.

If you go to the Canadian side - and you should have a passport anyway! - stay here - http://www.riversidepark.net/. This place is fabulous. Stayed in campsite EW55 in July of 2007. Loved it. Great people, and you're far away from the Falls that the traffic doesn't overwhelm you.
