1 campground with availability this weekend
Several RV campgrounds near Copenhagen, New York provide full hookup options for motorhome travelers. Swan Bay Resort offers 282 RV sites with 50-amp electric service, water, and sewer connections on paved parking areas with gravel fronts and paver patios. Fort Drum Recreation Area accommodates RVs with electric, sewer, and water hookups from May through October. Ontario Shores RV Park features pull-through full hookup sites with concrete patios that can handle larger rigs, while Brennan Beach Campground supports big rigs with water and electric connections. Natural Bridge/Watertown KOA maintains 53 sites with 30-amp and 50-amp service options for a variety of RV sizes. "The sites are spacious and level. We prefer the heron loop for big rigs (40ft) as they are very spacious."
Between May and October, most RV parks in the region maintain full operations, though advance reservations become essential during summer weekends and fall foliage season. Many campgrounds offer sanitary dump stations even when full hookups aren't available at every site. Road access varies significantly—Love's RV Hookup provides easy access from highways with just 5 pull-through spaces, while some parks require navigating narrow roads with tight turns. Cell service is generally strong near Watertown but can be spotty in more remote locations. Most RV parks permit pets but enforce leash policies. Winter camping options are extremely limited, with only a handful of campgrounds remaining open year-round. Propane fill service isn't commonly available on-site at most parks, requiring trips to nearby towns for refills.
"Site we stayed at had full hook ups. Very nice camp store, pools, playground, and restaurants. Spent time at the beach which is also very nice."
"Very nice thousand trail campgrounds. Very large I believe it's 1300 + sites. We went late summer show it was becoming offseason. Most amenities close down."
"They offer regular camping sites and RV sites, they also have a dog park for the little furry ones. It is easy to get to and several forms of outdoor entertainment.."
"Our site was a “standard site” near the pool, boat launch, activities, and Tiki Bar which surprised us because sites close to activities are usually desired and not discounted."
"Easy in and out for big rigs. Right on the St. Lawrence River. Many amenities to include 3 bay R.V. wash as well as car wash. Nice sites and some on the water with docks and a boat ramp."
from $39 - $599 / night
"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."
"Full hookups was nice. Nice campground if you have kids. Only downside is you are very close to the site next to you."

from $53 - $116 / night

ScoutTraveled from northeastern PA with 5 other families. All with kids under 13. Location was great. Everyone super friendly. Very convenient being near the grocery store. Tiki bar was fun for adults! Very clean! We rented a boat and went to Clayton for the day. Will definitely go back again.
ScoutI would never return to this campground. We rented a golf cart, and while going downhill, the rear wheel came completely off because the lug nuts were not secured. My 1-year-old and 6-year-old were on the cart, and we were extremely fortunate that no one was injured. When I expressed how serious and upsetting this was and how close my children were to being injured the owner’s response was,“But were they?” When I explained that my children were thankfully not injured but were shaken up by the incident, he sarcastically questioned whether my 1-year-old could be traumatized. They did provide us with another golf cart afterward, but I consider that the bare minimum after being given an unsafe rental. After the apparent lack of proper inspection of the cart and the ill-mannered response to such a serious safety issue, I would never recommend this campground.
LegendHad an overnight stay here and it was really peaceful. The reservoir had been drained but it was still lovely to look out across the property. You definitely can’t beat $30 for an electric site! Restrooms were a bit dated but clean. Staff was very friendly. Our site was spacious and next to a short walking trail through the trees.
ScoutR/v area seems pretty full and seems to have lots of full time campers possibly.
TravelerBeautiful and well kept campground. Stayed right on the river and was beautiful. Full hookups was nice. Nice campground if you have kids. Only downside is you are very close to the site next to you.
ScoutVery nice campground, pool is awesome when it’s hot and, the water’s edge of the campground is beautiful, expect noise. Not a quiet place. From fellow campers to boats and sirens. No tru till station just a water line when you enter. Also check sites out was extremely up hill. Camper barely cleared.
TravelerWe thought the campground was beautiful, tight to your neighbors on majority of sites, and lack of trash cans for pet waste especially since the campground is so big. It has ball field, 2 playgrounds, rec room, camp store, lake Ontario to swim, trails for multi use, and pavillions. Down fall for us was small site , lack of trash cans to toss pet waste, not being told about fill station because there is no water faucets like most state parks along campground. We were there for first time so not familiar with park. Office did not offer us a map to get to our site or clue us in on filling our tank prior to parking camper. Main gate personnel not on same information. bathrooms could be cleaned more often. bathhouse building is all gender with bathrooms on one side of building and showers on other. Bathroom and showers are private space rooms. Beach is very rocky with little sand area. Life guards only guard one side of beach making everyone crowded to one side
TravelerThe campground facilities are very outdated. That's most likely due to the majority of "campers" having RV's and not needing to use the facilities. The restrooms/dish sink area Only having Cold water to wash up hands & dishes, the 1 and Only shower area for All 3 Loops reminded me of being in a horror film...full of dead insects everywhere, ther are signs posted letting you know its gonna take about 5 minutes to semi-heat up, and the shower spray directly on the floor vs staying contained withvh
Visitors to Copenhagen, New York can find several RV campgrounds within driving distance of this small village. Copenhagen sits in the western foothills of the Adirondacks at an elevation of 1,450 feet, where summer temperatures typically range from 50-80°F. Fall brings vibrant foliage and cooler nighttime temperatures, requiring campers to pack layers regardless of season.
Boating and paddling opportunities: At Swan Bay Resort - The 1000 Islands Premier RV Park & Marina, guests can rent pontoon boats directly from the marina. "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," notes one visitor.
Fishing excursions: The St. Lawrence River offers excellent fishing access. "Fishing was fun…lots of places to go to fish and the scenery was awesome," reports a camper about their experience at Sun Outdoors Association Island.
Swimming options: Multiple campgrounds offer swimming amenities. "Spent time at the beach which is also very nice," mentions a review of Brennan Beach Campground. Many campgrounds feature both pool and natural water swimming options, though water temperatures can be quite cool until mid-summer.
Spacious sites: Sun Outdoors Association Island impresses campers with its generous site sizes. "It was wooded, roomy, and has full hookups, a fire ring, and picnic table. I could probably have fit another RV in the site and still had space to stretch," shares one visitor.
Waterfront access: Waterfront sites provide memorable experiences. "Our site was a pull in and we faced a western view of Lake Ontario. We were treated to gorgeous sunsets and minimal light pollution at night. The stars were everywhere," reports another camper about Sun Outdoors Association Island.
Concrete pads: Ontario Shores RV Park receives praise for its well-maintained sites. "There are 7 overnight pull thru full hookup sites with concrete patio, Sites a level and spacious," states a reviewer. Concrete pads help prevent muddy conditions during rainy periods.
Limited winter options: Most RV parks in the region operate seasonally from May through October. Streamside RV Park & Golf Course has a typical operating season of "Apr 15 - Oct 15," similar to most campgrounds in the area.
Bug preparation: Insects can be abundant, particularly near Lake Ontario. "One HUGE downfall was the amount of BUGS! Millions (not exaggerating) of midges and mayflies swarming the grounds from Lake Ontario. Be prepared to deal with this as we were not and had to vacuum inside the RV every night for about an hour," warns a camper.
Wind conditions: Strong winds affect some waterfront locations. One camper notes about Association Island: "Our neighbor (who has camped here seasonally for the last four years) mentioned that he lost three awnings to the wind. So, don't leave your awning out when you leave your camper."
Playgrounds and activities: HTR Adirondacks offers engaging water features for children. "The boys were having so much fun swimming and riding their inner tubes down the creek with little rapids. They spent almost every waking moment in the water," shares one parent who visited with teenage boys.
Budget-friendly options: Price points vary significantly between campgrounds. "We paid a KOA-discounted rate of $88 per night plus a $25 site lock fee," notes one camper, while another mentions Streamside RV Park offering "a one night stay. That is a good price for full hook up" at $37.50.
Age-specific considerations: Some campgrounds cater to specific demographics. One reviewer notes about Streamside RV Park, "Everyone here is a golfer and there are no children," making it less suitable for families with young children.
Power supply challenges: Natural Bridge/Watertown KOA provides both 30-amp and 50-amp service, but not all campgrounds maintain consistent power. One camper reported at another location: "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."
Accessibility concerns: Wheelchair users should research accessibility before booking. "The facilities are not wheelchair accessible. The owners said that they are working on that," reports a visitor to Natural Bridge/Watertown KOA.
Big rig considerations: Width of roads and turns affect maneuverability. "This is NOT a place for big rigs," warns one RVer about a campground with tight turns. RVers with larger units should call ahead to confirm access routes and site dimensions before booking at Copenhagen area RV campgrounds.
