Island camping, boat required!

The first time we went here we didn’t realize you need a boat to get to the campsite, luckily some other visitors gave us a ride. Really memorable due to it being on an island within the 1000 Islands, but the campsite itself is simple, pretty clean, rustic (at least it was last time we were there in about 2013). Be sure to take in the sunrise/set while there.

Boat to this campground!

You need a boat to get here, making it one of our favorite places to camp in NY. There are quite a few sites here, all pretty private, but still make reservations. Nice to have separate docks for the campers, as there are some day use facilities too. Basic sites, clean and very well kept. Don’t think about it, just book this site.
