Best Glamping near Hermon, NY

95 Reviews

Kring Point State Park Campground accommodates glamping enthusiasts with premium waterfront sites along the St. Lawrence River in New York. The park's canvas glamping accommodations feature comfortable bedding, electrical hookups, and picnic tables on spacious sites overlooking either Goose Bay or the river. "We love sitting on big rocks, watching sunsets and ships go by," shares one frequent visitor. These luxury camping options combine the natural beauty of flat rock shores with modern conveniences including newly renovated bathrooms with shower facilities and kitchen cleanup stations. Guests appreciate the private setting while still having access to essential amenities, making this location particularly popular for extended summer stays.

Recreational activities at these eco-friendly glamping sites center around water-based experiences with swimming available at two beaches and excellent fishing opportunities directly from the shoreline. The park provides boat launches and docks for those bringing watercraft, while families enjoy the playground facilities. A recent guest noted, "It has a little beach area and great rock cliffs to jump off and swim! The fishing is also awesome, my husband caught a pike and small mouth bass his first day!" The surrounding area offers rich historical significance, with Alexandria Bay nearby providing additional attractions. Seasonal availability runs from May through early October, though securing reservations requires planning several months in advance due to the popularity of these distinctive glamping experiences with their spectacular sunset views over the water.

    Natural Bridge/Watertown KOA

    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.

    Robert Moses State Park Campground

    Robert Moses in 1,000 Islands near Canada

    Lovely State Park in the 1,000 Islands where water activities are the main attraction. Make sure to check out the island too! The park spans the island and a little snaking river-like bay. Really pretty to explore on boat. Easy and very pretty trails on site, walk along the shore too. Decent wildlife and great birding. Feels very isolated though easy to get to. Bring your passport, you can see Canada from some of the picnic grounds. Incredible sunsets!!!

    Quality State Park facilities, clean. Camping ranges from tents in shady woods to cabins. Some sites are pretty private, even the ones that aren't are quiet.

    Note: Robert Moses apparently did a lot in New York State. This park is near Canada! There is also a Robert Moses beach on Long Island near NYC (Fire Island National Seashore) and Robert Moses parkway near Niagara Falls. These are all 8+ hours from each other! Be careful with your mapping apps and in getting advice for travel.

    Little park near Canada

    Small but pretty park with basic accommodations. Some sites along the river, lovely sunrises, great place for a campfire. Almost everyone was there to fish, not much else to do on site but plenty to do in the area. We were there in June or July and it didn’t fill up. No sign of eels.

    Meacham Lake Campground

    2 campgrounds in one

    This campground is like having 2 campgrounds in one. One side of the lake is a bit crowded and can get rowdy. This side has flush toilets and showers. There are waterfront sites here. The other side of the campground is completely different, and a bit hidden. (Meacham Lake West) No flush toilets or showers, simply outhouses at each site. There may be a couple flush toilets you can walk to. Also, you will need to park and hike in a bit, but the views are so worth it! You can have a beautiful site right on the lake, and your neighbors are not on top of you. There is running water as well.

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

    Right on the Saint Lawrence River

    Swan Bay Resort is exactly that. All of there sites are on slabs,neat and clean hook ups. There is riverviews from just about every site which is nice and then there are sites right on the river, the river sites do face west , so you do get beautiful sunsets. Check-in was smooth and the staff was very helpful. There are plenty of bathrooms and washing machines are in all of them. They offer boat, kayak, and paddle board rentals. They have 2 pools and a tiki bar on site. They looked beautiful but they were crowded and nobody was practicing social distancing , and for me we are still in the unknown with covid so we stayed away. No judging at all just a personal preference call. The shop was mostly chatchskis and except for the normal staple items sewer hoses and stuff of that nature. There is a supermarket that is walkable which was nice. Now for the downside and it's only 1 , this place is a bit pricey. What I spent here for 2 nights I could have stayed a week at a KOA, so I did pay for those beautiful river sunsets.

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

    Great Resort Campground

    I’ll start by saying Swan Bay is a busy, family-oriented campground. We arrived on a weekend and it was pretty busy but loved it during the week when everybody left and things were quieter. Our site (#38) was a Passport America site so we got a great nightly rate of $42 which is half of the regular nightly rate. 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. Campsite costs depends on whether you get a waterfront (which is $95/night even in the off-season), water view, pull thru, or standard site. Most sites do not have shade but they added a new section that does have some old mature trees and sporadic shade. All the sites are the same in that they have paved parking areas with gravel in front, pavers for a patio and full hook-up. Some of the newer sites now have a bit of shade from trees. There are lots of rental park models and cottages close to the pool and Tiki Bar. Within walking distance is a Price Chopper Grocery, Dollar General, gas station, and wine and liquor store.  

    There is a free boat launch and boat slips (not sure if they are free) for guests. I was hoping to spend a bit of time on my paddleboard but soon realized it is very windy here and found very few windows to paddle. 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 and beware of winds if you want to be on the water. Check-in was quick and easy. The park is gated so you get a gate card to enter the park. You also get a BOGO card to use at the Tiki Bar which has specials during the week (like margarita Monday, bucket of beer, bloody Mary’s, etc.). The pool and Tiki Bar were not very busy when we were there. There is a second pool but it was not open yet for the season. In between the pools is a community fire pit with nice Adirondack chairs which is pretty cool. The playground is awesome and huge with lots of cool features for kids to explore. The dog park is very nice and a decent size to throw a ball for your dog. It also has potable water for drinking, which, for some reason, did not work during our stay. There are gobs of activities for kids and adults. Plenty of rentals too – ranging from boats, kayaks, golf carts, etc. 

    A couple of the downsides of this park are the price (unless you get a discount like we did), sites don’t have much privacy, the park gets crowded and noisy, and there was lots of noise from the construction work within the park they were doing. If you are in the back of the park, you get some road noise from Route 12 and the refrigerated truck at the neighboring Price Chopper. Overall, we loved this park during the slow season and during the week when there were not kids running around and adults playing loud music and drinking constantly.

    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.

Guide to Hermon

Kring Point State Park Campground offers waterfront camping in New York's Thousand Islands region with sites on either Goose Bay or the St. Lawrence River. The campground is located in the town of Redwood, approximately 20 miles from Hermon, New York. Water temperatures remain cool even in summer months, typically ranging from 65-72°F, with swimming available at two designated beach areas.

What to do

Fishing opportunities: At Eel Weir State Park Campground, campers can fish directly from the Oswegatchie River shoreline. "About 35 spots all non electric, many on the water of the oswegatchie river... Worth a look if you like your peace and quiet," notes Mary D. The river supports smallmouth bass and northern pike.

Wildlife observation: Look for local wildlife throughout the region. "Favorite thing is the family of owls that inhabit the trees that you see every night," reports Aaron P. about Eel Weir. At Rollins Pond, one visitor observed "chipmunks, squirrels, ducks, and a crane. The time before, we had a family of loons!"

Water sports: The region offers numerous paddling opportunities. "We loved riding bikes, ice cream truck every night. Ice and firewood available. Close store for goods. Kayaking was wonderful," shares a reviewer about Rollins Pond Campground. The pond connects to a network of lakes in the St. Regis/Saranac area.

What campers like

Waterfront access: Many sites throughout the region feature direct water access. At Jacques Cartier State Park Campground, "We book early so we can get a water front site... Everyone swims, kayaks, and paddle boards off their sites," explains Alycia M. The park also offers a guarded beach for families with younger children.

Quiet atmosphere: The region's campgrounds typically provide peaceful settings. One camper describes Eel Weir as "Relaxing, quiet, decent fishing, clean bathrooms and friendly staff." Another mentions that Jacques Cartier State Park is "Small, quiet and fantastic!"

Sunset views: Evening skies provide remarkable views across regional waterways. "And the sunsets are my favorite part!" notes Christina B. about camping in the area. At Rollins Pond, a visitor shares: "We had a waterfront site and were absolutely delighted to be able to sit on the beach and watch the sunset."

What you should know

Reservation planning: Book well in advance for peak summer dates. At Stillwater Reservoir, "Camping is free here but it is first come first serve but with 40+ sites you can almost always get something." Most developed campgrounds require reservations months ahead, especially for waterfront sites.

Weather preparedness: Conditions can change rapidly. One visitor to Jacques Cartier noted: "I came here totally unprepared and ended up getting soaked. I didn't check the forecast and it started pouring. It gets really cold at night and the weather is unpredictable."

Site characteristics: Many campgrounds feature distinctive terrain. "Grass sites with plenty of trees for shade. There's little undergrowth between sites for privacy but spacious sites makes up for it," explains Daniel L. about Eel Weir. At Jacques Cartier, "Half of the loop is in the woods and the other half has spacious, grassy sites bordered with woods behind them."
