About
State Park
Wellesley Island State Park Campground, nestled near the Canadian border in New York, is a gem for anyone looking to escape into nature. This place has it all—whether you're rolling in with a big rig, pitching a tent, or cozying up in a cabin. The campground operates from May 6 to October 10, making it a prime spot for summer adventures.
One of the standout features here is the Heron Loop, which is perfect for those with larger RVs. The sites are spacious, and the bathrooms are well-maintained. If you're into full hookups, there's another loop that caters to that need. For families, there's a small park near the cabins and a larger one by the beach and store, ensuring the kids are entertained.
The Nature Center is a hit, especially with its array of kids' activities and a butterfly sanctuary. Hiking trails are abundant, offering scenic views and peaceful walks. If you're into water activities, the ADA kayak launch on Eel Bay is a must-try. The swimming beach and boat launches add to the fun, making it easy to spend a whole day by the water.
For those who love a bit of history and charm, the nearby Thousand Island Park is just a 15-minute drive away. It's a quaint community worth exploring. And if you're planning a trip, remember that the tent sites right on the river are highly coveted, so booking in advance is a smart move.
In short, Wellesley Island State Park Campground offers a beautiful, well-rounded camping experience with plenty to do and see. Whether you're here for the views, the activities, or just some peace and quiet, you won't be disappointed.
