    Swan Bay Resort - The 1000 Islands Premier RV Park & Marina

    This is a great park.

    We stayed at Swan Bay Resort in Alexandria Bay, NY, for our last trip this year. Spoiler alert… we had a great stay! 

    This is a great park. It’s an easy mile from I-81 and just 10-minutes drive to Alexandria Bay downtown. The staff was great— friendly and helpful. Our waterfront pull-IN site was a level concrete pad and gravel with FHU and everything worked great. Oh, and the best part was our view of the St. Lawrence River with passing ocean liners and lots of migrating birds. 

    The park has 2 swimming pools, a tiki bar, a food truck, and nice communal hang-out areas. There’s a marina with pontoon boat rentals. They put on Octoberfest during our stay which featured a live band and food and craft vendors. 

    There are plenty of restaurants and stores nearby. Adjacent to the entrance is a self-service car wash with bay large enough for motorhomes. 

    I have nothing bad to say about this place and encourage you to visit when you can.

    crowded. fine if you're spending your days on the water

    We came to this campground after a week in Algonquin Provincial park in Canada and the contrast couldn't have been greater. Up north we stayed on a large, shady site in a radio free loop and everyone had canoes. In New York we had a cramped, open site and everyone seemed to have a motorboat on a trailer. Our neighbors across the road set up a movie screen . The overall feel was NOT "getting away from it all".
    The facilities are good and there's a nice beach and well stocked General store, also a big boat ramp facility with some docks.
    We chose this location because we were attending the Antique Boat Show in Clayton, 13 miles away, and this was the closest available. It suited us just fine for that.
    Keep your stuff secure, there are brazen raccoons.

    Very tight, no grassy areas

    The roads are through the campground are very tight making backing into a spot very difficult. There was very little grass around the sites, mainly dirt. They also charge for every extra activity. In general just too tight for my liking.

    Not for me

    Unfortunately when we arrived at southwick the rangers & staff had all gone home so we were unable to get a map or check in. We went to our camp site & there were people playing very loud music until about 12am, no rangers around the say anything about quiet hours so I had to. Sites are on top of eachother & there’s no boarders inbetween, fine for some people but not for me. After it rained one night our site & others around us were completely flooded. The beach area & bathhouses we’re nice though so that helped the stay not be a complete wash

    Before you make reservation

    Spent this weekend on a "full hookup site" in our class A motorhome. We used a surge protector when plugging in to electric. It wasn't long before our power kept kicking off. We contacted the office and a staff member came and advised us that they do not have enough power for all of the campsites they have and we should not have our hot water on electric. Until we get our LP fixed that is all we have so no hot water the whole weekend and our power kept kicking off the entire weekend. When we left the sewer backed up on our site when we emptied out tanks. The staff is not friendly and our site was mostly mud. Just an FYI before you go. Wish I knew these things before I made reservations.

    Singing Waters RV Park

    Total Dump

    Total Shi!-Hole.

    First let me start by saying that we are not new to rv parks or camping. We average about 10,000 miles a year in our coach.

    This particular trip is 5,000 miles over 23 days and 18 campgrounds.

    We are a “big rig”. 45 ft Class A with a 16ft tow.

    This is NOT a place for big rigs.

    We had booked a water front lot, full hookup and their most expensive lot. About $75 for the night.

    The roads and lot signs are scarce and other than handing us a very inaccurate map of the property, we were on our own.

    We damaged our rig getting to our lot. The roads and turns are not wide enough for a 45’ rig even with the tow disconnected to make turns.

    Wide enough for travel trailers and 5th wheels but not a large class a.

    The lots are also not gravel and not level. Ours was dirt and mostly mud and even with our leveling jacks down, we could not level due to the mud and lack of a gravel base.

    Ours (lot 134) was filthy. Food, cigarette butts, trash and dog shit. Not to mention a pile of mulch. Maintenance seems non existent.

    ZERO prep or cleanup was done on the site.

    Water pressure good but water reaks of chlorine. DO NOT drink the water. Made the mistake of using it for morning coffee. So much chlorine its like pool water.

    Internet very good. Only positive thing that I can say.

    Power sucks. 30amp only but not truly providing that. We kept blowing the breaker and noted our lights flickering. We can easily run on 30amp. This is typical of an overbuilt park with not enough power for the campers onsite.

    Once we were in and set, we first noted that other campers were cutting through our lot to get to the river. A constant flow of kids, adults and inner tubs all walking through our site.

    We then went to walk our dogs and had numerous encounters by dogs not on leashes. We could not leave our dogs outside on their tether's due to worrying about unattended dogs.

    The other thing is that cars and trucks were flying on the roads with no safe speed limit. It seems that they drop off tubers on the river near our lot and then the drivers fly out of here to go meet them downriver.

    This is a low class dump made up of travel trailers, tent campers and fifth wheels. No maintenance, no enforced rules. No pride in the property or operation.

    Not a place for large coach owners or seasoned RVrs who know how the rest of the country is.

    We will not be back and strongly advise any Class A big rig owners to avoid.

    Nice KOA, great owners

    The sites are small, but there are mature trees between them & woodsy areas around the campsites. The campground is clean and well kept. The laundry room and bathrooms were clean. I didn’t have a chance to use the deck or the indoor pool.

    The owners made me feel welcome from the minute I arrived. They went above & beyond for me.

    The facilities are not wheelchair accessible. The owners said that they are working on that.

    Friendliest

    Family like experience. The owner and his wife are fully involved. They take you in with a golf cart ride so that you know which way to go. They check on with you thru out your stay. Simple and nice place. We will visit every year.

    Beautiful but cramped

    Beautiful campground. The ladies at the check in point were very nice and helpful! Bathrooms were clean (no hot water). Just didn't expect the plots to be so small with no privacy. Thought we chose a plot in an area with tents only, but there was a massive camper right beside us with noisy people. I would go back again if I could pick a site that had the neighboring ones not reserved, to get a little more privacy.

    Big Rig friendly!

    We have a 37ft fifth wheel & fit into our site no problem! Good cell reception & tons to do near by. But I highly recommend checking out their beach area- beyond gorgeous! We will 100% be coming back.

    Cleanest, best run and close to all attractions

    Extremely clean, well run and has the most options for all kinds of camping. The grounds are spotless, as are the bathrooms and showers. There are several hosts, so help is always available. The campground is conveniently located near many of the attractions.

    Beautiful campground

    We camp with a big rig(40ft) we prefer the heron loop they are very spacious. Nice bathrooms, a small park near the cabins and heron loop, a huge park near the beach and store. They have a beautiful nature center with a lot of kids activities. A ton of trails, they do have full hookup in another loop. By far a beautiful campground and views

    Amazing campground

    We always camp in the plateau across the road from the main park area-sites are huge, clean bathrooms and a nice park right in the circle. The beach is nice but can get crowded. This is our kids favorite campground

    Doesn’t get any better!

    This place is top notch. A large park with diverse types of camping. Many tent-suitable sites right on the river are highly coveted so you have to book way in advance. Lots of dry-camping RV sites are easier to book. The full hook-up RV sites are also very difficult to book, but if you score one, it will be a dream experience. Facilities are very well maintained. There’s lots to do…. a swimming beach, boat launches, a Nature Center, hiking trails, and an ADA kayak launch on Eel Bay. Only fifteen minutes to the charming community of Thousand Island Park.

    20+ years (Wellesley Island) Various Sites

    I grew up going to this place with my family so besides it being nostalgic it is absolutely beautiful. The grounds are really taken care of and all the sites are at par. The place offers countless opportunities for just about any activity you could think of. The landscape is gorgeous and just extremely peaceful.

    Great Campground

    This is my first time at the campground. I was greeted by the new manager. I selected 30 amp interior full up interior full hook up back in site but they gave me an upgrade to a waterfront site. (For an interior price) . They even helped us on backing up our camper. The view took my breath away. The campground has all amenities necessary to a great camping experience, from electricity to water and sewer hookups. It also has Wi-Fi. There’s a playground and a beach area . The place is very clean and was decorated for the 4th of July festivity. They even had fireworks. I’ll recommend this place.

    Wonderful campground

    We decided to go the week before Memorial Day. It turned out to be a Canadian holiday weekend so we saw lots of Ontario plates. But by Monday everyone cleared out and we were one of 3 people in our loop (c63) the bathrooms were immaculate (our only complaint was the mens room had no hot water for showers) We kayaked from the ADA kayak launch and had a nice time on Eel bay. We rode our bicycles around and even did rollerblading. So many nice waterfront sites and if you stay in the c loop you have shade, a flat driveway to park on, and electric hookups. All of the other loops that had electric were pretty much wide open with no trees or privacy.

    My favorite

    We've camped here every year but it's getting difficult to get in here. We've camped all over from tents to all kind of campers. Never stayed in cabins but been inside. It's beautiful park. Goose bay on one side St Lawrence River on other. Every site is beautiful with rocks. But the rocks make it beautiful. We love sitting on a big rocks, watching sunsets and ships go by. Playground, private bathrooms, boat launch, docks, beach and fishing.

    The staff was not educated about the park and the sites were soft sand

    We made reservations 8 months in advance. All of our group requested 50amp pull thru as we are all class A towing with our shortest coach at 34’ and longest 45’. When we arrived and assigned sites we were given the WORNG DIRECTIONS to our sites. This is a VERY tight camp ground so 4 of us had to circle back around the entire camp ground and start over. Only 1 site was pull thru but it was so unleveled we could not put our jacks down. 5 of us had to unhook our toad then 2 of the sites were to small for our rigs. We had to go back to the office to request bigger sites. 5 sites only had 30 amp! The staff acted like the hated their jobs and the customers as well. Overall this is the worst experience I have ever had at a RV park. It took almost 2 hours (no staff interaction) for our group to set set up. Do yourself a favor keep driving don’t stop here…

    This is my go-to campground when I need to relax and reflect. Beautiful lakeside sites and always a cool breeze from Lake Ontario. Staff have always been friendly and helpful.
