I would have rated this campground higher, but they were not helpful in the office at all! Our site also was not easy to level. We did go to the Chamber of Commerce in town and they were very helpful. There were mostly Canadians at the campground. Try to get to the Eisenhower Locks, very interesting. They do put out a schedule, but the ships generally don't adhere to it! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Excellent, excellent, excellent. Loved the weekend we spent here. Didn't have sewer hookup on site, but for just a weekend wasn't an issue. Not all sites have sewer. Washrooms and showers are clean. Shower stall is small, but gives you the room you need. Well stocked store. Picturesque campground. Wi-Fi only around the office. Staff are incredible. Takes Canadian at par if you pay cash, which is a bonus for me. Much more Canadians here than Americans, which surprised me. Will definitely stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
What a nice quiet, clean park close to the Canadian border. Sites quite large and level with nice river views of the Grass river on some of the sites. Very friendly staff and well stocked camp store. Hook ups in great condition with plenty of power. Pool a little small and was closed for the season. Wish they had Wi-Fi available at the sites but they had it at the office, would have been at score of 10 if so. Can hear some traffic noise from the near by RT 37 but it isn't real bad. Sometimes you hear the ships horn and engine rumble when they go through the close by Eisenhower Lock. Shopping and fuel close by as are other attractions. I would recommend this campground to anyone with any sized RV. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Pretty nice little campground off the beaten track in Massena, NY. You need to be pretty close to the office to get their Wi-Fi as near as I can tell there is no external antenna for the Wi-Fi just a household router in the office. The staff we encountered was either indifferent or in one case down right rude. The one gentleman in the evening did not want to be bother from his web surfing to bother with customers. The store is GREAT, lots of RV supplies, things you'd normally find in a large RV store. Not a bad place but I would not want to be here more than an overnight. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Large level sites. Shaded sites are dirt/mud but not bad. Good cable TV. Large field (unfenced) for dog to run. Convenient to visit the Eisenhower lock. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Nice park, kept very clean and site were big and level with easy access, sites could have been much nicer if they had more grass, could of been reseeded, but outdoor carpets fix the problem. Nice big grassy and well maintained common areas for kids to play and roam. The pool was alright, very few chairs, could of been a little cleaner. Playground was great and kid friendly. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Clean and well maintained campground. People who run the campground were very friendly and helpful. Very close to Eisenhower locks on the St. Lawrence Seaway. The locks lower or raise approximately 42' for large ships to pass. Sites are grass and level with some shade trees. Laundry room was small but very reasonable ($1.25). We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed here for 4 days while exploring the local area. It’s a very nice campground with mostly large grassy sites for the passing RVer. The sites are mostly all back-ins but large. We were in a large site that was back to back parking with the sites on the next row. It may be ok for motorhome parking, but for the 5th wheel folks, it’s living room to living room. It’s our only complaint. But, we were not here during any rain and some of the sites looked like the ruts were deep when it rained. We got a military discount which gave us a 50 amp FHU for 30 bucks. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a large well-maintained campground with roomy, big grass sites some of which have trees. It has a well supplied campstore and a great playground for children, which is in excellent condition and very inviting. The staff is friendly and helpful and the campground is close to several points of interest. Watch carefully for the signs for the campground on Route 37. They are small and a bit confusing as to where to turn. This campground has only 1 pull-through site but their back-in sites in the 70's have a beautiful view overlooking the river. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stay here every long weekend in the summer and sometimes during the week. The sites are great, the laundry, washrooms and showers are very clean. The management and staff are friendly and helpful. Just wish they had wi-fi access from site. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Stayed here while visiting family in the area. Very clean and well kept. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Will definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice Campground. Clean and well maintained. Bath house is clean as well as the laundry facility. Has a large pool. Close to several shopping areas. Short distance from the Cornwall/Massena International bridge. Owner is very personable. Has a store with items you may require during your stay. They have some special event weekends that are fun. We have recommended this park to our family and friends. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a very nice campground. The sites are roomy. Time Warner Cable came in excellent with probably 75 Channels. Good access to area attractions. Close to Wal-Mart and mall. Next to a nice residential neighborhood. Grasse River right accross the street. Nice swimming pool. Friendly staff. Campground was full over Labor Day weekend. I would recommend this campground. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We return to this park every year because it’s so great. Nicely laid out in a field with shade trees, spotless and beautifully configured restrooms and showers, well-stocked store, super and clean pool, excellent cable TV, fast ethernet connection, friendly staff; sorry, I’ve run out of superlatives. Would rate it a 10 if it had WI-FI and if the sewer connections were lower, making them useable by rigs with lower sewer outlets. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed in the Barnhart Loop on a premium waterfront site and it was perfect. Lovely view of the river plus a tree lined sandy beach. If you kayak or canoe, they can be launched directly from the site. The campground marina can accommodate small john boats up to 35 foot or larger vessels. We enjoyed bike riding on the miles of paved roads. Definitely stop at the Eisenhower lock near the campground entrance and watch one of the ships go through. For a waterfront lunch spot, go to the Massena Country club by car or boat. The park employess were great: helpful and friendly. The grounds crew were constantly mowing or weed wacking keeping the park grounds well maintained. Some of the roads within the park were in need of repaving. A very quiet state park campground in the evening most campers were tucked in by 9pm. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Robert Moses State Park is one of NY's best in my opinion. If select you select one of the sites with frontage on the St. Lawrence Seaway, you can watch the ships entering and exiting the Eisenhower Lock right from your campsite. Visiting the nearby lock in person (free) is even better though. The gravel sites are fairly level and spacious, and many are separated from the next site by trees and bushes, offering some privacy. The RV sites are electric only, but water spigots are plentiful and not far from any site. There is a two lane dump station that serves the entire park on the entry road, and that can get pretty busy on the popular departure days, such as a Sunday morning. The bathrooms/showers are clean and well maintained, and at least some include a separate family facility. Garbage is collected from multiple drop sites at least a couple of times each day. This park is very popular with families, and there are usually a fair number of kids and adults riding bicycles, or walking on the roads, so drive carefully. The over the air TV stations are few, and the heavily treed sites may be difficult for satellite service, but the more open sites should be OK. Our Verizon voice and data signals were about as strong as it gets, with a tower located within sight of our campsite. We have stayed here multiple times over the years, and we will definitely be back again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Beautiful campground. Road in through tunnel a bit rough-go slowly. Everything was nice, but checking in was quite the process. 1st a long walk to where you register; then NY tends to charge for almost everything. Folks from out of state pay an extra $5, Saturday or Sunday add $4. Reserve on-line-$9. Just show up- $2.75; view water- $6; 50 amp= $2. Showers are free, but NY regulates the temperature. If you can put up with that stuff, the place is really terrific with mostly very nice level sites in both areas. We would return. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The sites are dirt and gravel and fairly good size but not very level. Really tall trees required that I used a portable dish to get satellite signal. There is only one dump station for the whole park, even though the two loops are separated by quite a bit. That made for quite a line and extending dump time on a Monday. It is a good camp ground, but not a great one. I would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a beautiful state park campground on the St Lawrence Seaway near the Eisenhower Lock. The sites are clean and spacious, with a fire pit and picnic table at each site. Most of the premium sites have a good view of the seaway, with ships passing by regularly on their way between the ocean and the Great Lakes. There is no water or sewer available at the individual sites, but there are communal spigots throughout the park, and a dump station along the entry road. A visit to the Eisenhower Lock is highly recommended, and it's free. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Cute park, big campsites, plenty of room for the kids to run around. Restrooms were updated and clean (except for 1 and we didn't use it) and the showers were spacious, with hot water and good water pressure. We were 6 on our site, with 2 camping units and still had plenty of room. However, sites are not very shaded and there is no privacy from the neighbors. The Beach is beautiful. Will definitely come back again. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
We did not stay here, but did check it out. Wished we had stopped here instead of Cole Creek State Park. You drive through the Eisenhower tunnel under the lock (13' 6") to get to the park. The lock has a nice visitor center (free) and raises or lowers ships 42 feet. Very interesting to see. The campground is large and spread out over two different areas. Water is located throughout the park. There is a nature center here (free) and a dam with a power plant and visitor center (free) nearby. Much more here for active people. Massena is a good sized city with everything you need. We camped here in a Motorhome.
It is a very nice campground as with all New York State campgrounds. The lawn could have been cut a little lower. It was tall and in the morning it took a long time for the dew to burn off. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
