We were impressed by this wonderful owner Dave; he is a very pleasant man and seems very accommodating. The campground is nice and clean and bathrooms new. Granted no river view but right next door is state park and you can access it to river. Very nice park overall. We will be back to camp here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We stopped on the way to New Hampshire and upon our arrival there was no one in the office. The sign said take a spot and we will see you later so we did. We had reserved and were later told we should have been in Site 13 but we took 19. It turned out to be ok but it appeared as though the owner was annoyed. The campground was in the open and had no real amenities. It was a stop over spot for us. We though the owners/office people to be a little rude and will not return to stay here again. It did have a nice little Ice Cream store at the roadside. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
They just put a whole bunch of money into this campground. We used it as home base while at the 1000 Islands. Friendly and helpful. Nice place to stay. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a PA park, which is how we found it. Most of the sites are "seasonal" meaning they have larger mobile homes and/or park models permanently situated. There are just a few sites available for overnight. The site we were in was probably the only one where we could get a signal with our Motosat dish due to the trees. The park is quiet and peaceful and right on the river. Reasonably close to other attractions in the area. Our site was not that level and the power was not that reliable. Think it is 30 amp made into 50 amp, but it worked as long as we were careful. We would stay there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
One of the best state parks in New York. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

My family and I have stayed at this park for over 6 years to visit the area on vacation. Park was dirty, loud with unruly teenagers whose parents were highly intoxicated, and the NYS Park Police kicked out numerous campers over a 2 nite period. After that it was quiet, but kids were still up to sometimes until 2am. Bathrooms were not very clean and I choose to use my trailer bathroom to shower and use the toilet. My family and I hope this park turns around with some older rangers/help running the park in the future. Overall, until changes are made we will find alternate park to stay at in the thousand island region. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
I will echo the previous reviewer's comments. Very nice state park campground but sites are a little tight and privacy is lacking. Showers were serviceable but could use a good cleaning for bugs and spider webs. Showers have a single control and are very hot. We paid $25 for an electric site right on the St. Lawrence River. Absolutely beautiful, with big ships passing frequently. There is a small full hookup section and many sites of all types away from the river. This park was recommended to me by a friend who camps here often. Would try another state park in the area next time. Woke up at 4 am to watch a ship go by and saw a skunk stroll through our site. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Cedar Point is a great campground if you love to boat, fish, and swim. The sites are not private at all so if you want privacy this is not the place to be. The beach area is somewhat small, but did not have a problem picking a spot for a couple of hours of basking in the sun and swimming. The bathrooms are in need of updating and a serious spider cleanout. The recreation room is great and lots of activities for the younger kids. The staff was very friendly and so were all the campers that were there. Weekend are alot busier than the weekdays. My three daughters ranging from 17-5 love it there and are begging me to stay for a week next time we go. I would say that the only downside to this campground would be the lack of privacy everything else was top notch. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Our second year staying there. GREAT RV Park. Great views of the St. Lawrence River. Also you can view the big ships. Helpful staff. One of the best state parks in New York. Sites were good size. Will return next year. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We reserved site #32 in a full hook-up area because it looked like it would have a decent view of the river and it did. Unfortunately we couldn't reach the sewer port with our hose without enfringing on the site behind us and not surprisingly the area was full and a bit cramped and crowded with people tramping through your site. The sites were quite crowded together and had no trees or greenery between them so you had no privacy whatever. The roads were paved and in good condition but most sites are grass and dirt and very soft after some rain. Bathrooms and showers were a bit on the old side but clean enough and just fine overall. The dump station was fine but did not have a faucet for hooking up our flush hose. We didn't like the small sites and the overall lack of privacy but the area is very nice. We loved the Antique Boat Museum and enjoyed lunch in Clayton at the Koffee Kove. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Clean, quiet park. I had a electric only site (30A) some full hookups are available but limited in number. Park is right on the St. Lawerence River in the 1000 Island area of NY. Sites are grass and are mostly flat. If you bring your pet(s) you must bring proof of rabies inoculation. I will use this park again in the furture. We camped here in a camper.
Mostly seasonal sites, but welcome to travelers. Most sites are set up with services twined, and a large lawn w picnic tables between each set (you face each other's awning, instead of sewer h/u) but that means you need to drive forward into some back-in sites, not doable for a 5th wheel; check at the office how the site is oriented. Additional sites with pull-thrus are being developed in the open lot next door. Wireless is being added, according to the owner. Free use of boat launch with site, and dock space available for rent. Easy & quick access to seaway, and lovely. 7 mile walk to downtown riverfront. Town has many restored buildings, excellent restaurants, free riverfront concerts & weekly farmers market. Grocery 1+ block walk, ice cream stand next door. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We really enjoyed our four night stay here. This campground is closer to Alexandria Bay than to Clayton. There is a huge bait store within two minutes of the campground. We had a site along the river but it was busy and somewhat noisy as it was near the marina. Many boats and fisherpeople going in and out VERY early in the morning. However, we loved the view of the river with the big ocean going vessels navigating the channel. They do rent small fishing boats and a canoe at the marina. It says you are to park your RV perpendicular to the river (not parallel) but we found people did - blocking everyone else's view. We followed directions and parked the proper way and had our rear picture window looking out to the river. The folks on the other side of the road unfortunately had their views blocked which I felt was unfair and will report this to the authorities. Everyone should be able to view the beautiful river and islands. Nice people working there and an overall wonderful stay. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Wonderful state park. Wasn't busy on weekdays. One shower house new, the other old, but decently kept. Very large sites. Convenient to many tourist activities. I'd go back to this one. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
We stayed here for 4 nights over memorial day weekend with my extended family. This is a nice, small, quiet campground right on the St Lawrence River. There is a nice beach area, playground and excellent views of the sunset at night! You're close to downtown Alex Bay, and there are many shops, marinas and fishing near by. There are no full hookup sites - only electric and non-electric sites. But they do have a dump station that was easy to get to but the water hose at the station to flush your black tank was missing it's end - made it impossible to flush the tank. Would stay here again, but only if my family insists. Otherwise, I'll take the travel trailer to a campground with more hookups for the convenience. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This campground wasn't the best I've ever been in but the view of the St. Lawrence Waterway was wonderful! There are mostly seasonal camp sites that are kept neat and clean. Some are a little older but well taken care of. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very nice campgound. Friendly and helpful owners. Very convenient to Clayton and Alexandria Bay areas. Large site. Nice views. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a great park for a family or just a place to sit and regroup for a few days. There's a lot to see in this area and the owners are more than happy to answer questions about what to see and provide directions to get there. They were most accommodating with our satellite TV and WiFi location requests and went out of their way to be sure we were happy with our site. Will definitely be back! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Better than most camp grounds that are nothing more than parking lots. All sites have grassy areas to sit. I found the space between RV's more than adequate for comfortable outdoor sitting. Big open grassy area in front of camp sites where larger groups traveling together congregated. Nice people run the camp. I would have no trouble recommending this CG to others. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Picturesque campground on slope down to St. Lawrence River, although waterfront sites are seasonal. Owners are very friendly and helpful. Store is very limited, offering bare necessities. Transient sites are open and sunny, with limited site spacing. Good view of river, unless blocked by motorhomes/fifth-wheelers further down slope (which is the usual case). Overall, a satisfactory campground as a base for exploration of the Thousand Islands region. We camped here in a Motorhome.
