TravelerI have been coming here since I was a kid and now take my family too. My 3 year old loves the swimming pool and the ice cream and craft carts that come around. Highly recommend for those seeking a family friendly- jellystone or koa type park with a mom and pop atmosphere
TravelerThe Campsite itself is really great: -at least half of the Sites are car accessible -you don’t need 4WD (gravel road) -nice lake and nature -many sites have fireplaces and outhouses -it’s free
What’s really bad: We were here in June and there was an invasion of biting flies. There were so many that you couldn’t stand still for 5 seconds and it was just not enjoyable. I also think this is a general thing in this area not just at this campsite.
Then we got a really good mosquito repellent (from Walmart) for skin and one for clothing and now we finally can enjoy this stay. (It’s important that you get a high quality one with high deet percent, the others don’t work)
You need to register and camp at a numbered site
No cell service
Take your trash with you!
TravelerNot good for larger rigs, largest site was too short for mine. Pot holes in the campground road are so bad that it caused damage to my trailer. Bathroom is a mess. He brought us to the site which was nice but while I was hooking up power he said my surge supressor would cause problems, and my water pressure gauge would prevent us from getting any water. All the reviews said the guy was friendly and he was to my wife, but wouldn't say 2 words to me even with a probing question.
GuideWell, I’m back, it’s June, and there are 3 other groups here. 1 boat, and 2 tent camping. The parking lot is still empty. The water was significantly lower last time I was here. They have dropped the gates, and the lock is in operation. The resident peacock has been keeping me company. Tried fishing, without any luck, it had been raining a lot lately, so maybe that was the reason. It still has the highway noise and of course the train noise going by, but I love that. I anticipate another lovely sleep. It’s quite breezy, so the windows will be open. I’m in my happy place!!!
GuideOwner is very knowledgeable and helpful. Very friendly too! Took us to the site, helped back us in and helped us hook everything up! Would stay here again! The land is next to a river. They keep it mowed and it went on for a while. The dogs enjoyed the walk!
GuideThe Canal Corporation provides designated spots for tent and van camping along the canal. Stays are limited to a maximum of 48 hours. Upon arrival, campers must scan the QR code at the entrance and complete a brief survey. RVs and travel trailers are not permitted. The Verizon signal is good in the area.
GuideContinue driving past the original coordinates until you reach the dirt parking lot on the right. You’ll see signs that say “No Vehicles Past This Point” — those apply only to the grassy picnic area. The parking lot is large, rocky, and uneven, situated right on the Mohawk River. It's a great spot for wildlife viewing and fishing (with a valid license). Verizon cell service is good here. At the lock parking area, you'll find pit toilets, a dumpster, and potable water available on the side of the building as you enter.
TravelerLots of fisherman frequent the pond. Toilet isn’t set up yet but will once the season opens.
The first few campsites are the best the further down you go the worse the sites get for tent set up. Smaller tents would be best do here.
Great trees for hammock camping though.
GuideSimply it’s a parking lot with a view. The parking area is right on the water. It offers sounds of the highway and freight trains going by, my wife and I love it. If you need quiet, keep on moving. There are grills in the grassy area for tent camping, also a potable water tap.
