A typical KOA with the advantages (clean washrooms and showers, friendly, efficient staff, clean, well-kept grounds, good washers and dryers) and disadvantages (road noise, small sites, a little more expensive than normal for the area) of the KOA brand. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Park might close after 2005. Small town park outside of town proper but close to town. On Lake with small boat access I think. NO amusements (reported in one of the campground books) which made it better for us. Most sites short but they put some bigger rigs at end or sideways. Pull-thrus are just parking lot type and very tight. Office open early and late; employees (kids) were knowledgeable about the city. Pay phones around area. Dump site awkward to use (at top of hill and you back around to it). I would use this park again for convience to Kingston if it is open. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a very nice park right off the 401 in Kingston. The pull through sites are very nice as traffic on the out road is only from rigs that are actually leaving so you don't have vehicles constantly circling. The campground is clean and the staff friendly. It is a nice place to relax or to use a a base to explore Kingston and the 1000 islands. There is a high percentage of seasonals. Nice pool and an OK beach. We will be back. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Large campground right off Hwy. 401, close to Kingston. We camped here for first time on Canada Day weekend, and I can safely say we won't camp here a 2nd time. When booking, I asked if we could check in late. I was assured there wouldn't be a problem - I was told there was an intercom system at the entrance with a direct line to the owners who could open the gate for us. We arrived late - so we attempted to contact someone via the intercom - to no avail. No one answered despite numerous attempts. We were contemplating parking the trailer in the entryway when one of the employees (teenager) came ambling by. We were able to get in with his assistance. The roads and campsites aren't well marked out at all. The pool isn't heated - freezing!! There are a high percentage of seasonals, some looking quite derelict. During our stay there was a large family gathering of campers near our site who proceeded to boldly block the road to our general campsite area with their picnic tables and general party gear. We advised the staff of this - teenagers again - and no action was taken. All in all there was the impression of subtle neglect. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Beware of renting anything here! The pluses for the campground are that they have a nice in ground pool,a playground and duck ponds but we learned that both the paddle boat rental and the bike rental were thru private parties and not the campground. I paid for a paddle boat rental and the girl at the desk told me there were two- one that leaked and one that was available for use. When we arrived at the beach there was only one paddle boat and no one knew if that was the one that worked! When we went back to the desk we were informed that the campground didn't own the boats, sometimes the boats got stolen and that also she would page the owner to come help us. No help arrived and we instead asked for a refund. We decided to rent a 4 wheeled bike instead and we were directed to a weedy campsite with bikes. My husband rented a bike and in the process during his ride got an 8 inch gash on his leg from a protruding screw from these less than well maintained bikes. Many were held together with duct tape. We stayed here for the dog show and we were kind of upset that we had to stay in the Rally section, which had no shade, even though we had a tent. The sites were very poorly marked. Actually, the sites had no numbers and the map is very confusing. We stayed in what we thought was our site and we were next to a very large dumpster with no lid that was full of trash. Also, we had electric but did not have the right adapter so our plugs did not fit into their outlets. There are no showers or bathrooms in the Rally section. The bathroom that I was able to find had only 1 shower. It was hot and powerful though. We camped here in a Tent.
