"It's first come first serve so best to find another place if you intend to drive up to your campsite. The drive up campsite had an outhouse though so that was nice"

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.
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
LegendThis is a small rustic state forest off the beaten track, remote from but not too far from the village of Inlet in the Adirondacks. It is smaller than some of the other are forest campgrounds, and more quiet and peaceful. While in a rustic location at a distance from the main road, amenities do include picnic tables and firerings, flush toilets as well as privvies, and a trailer dump station 9but no hooksups) Sites are spacious and private and well shaded. You can paddle and fish right here, with lots of good hiking in the area. Fairly easy to get to from the Utica area, and with reasonably close access to a quaint Adirondack village, but still providing a remote expereince at the edge of the wilderness.
Note: just 3.5 miles from the campground is the very nique and special Ferd's Bog reserve. There is a floating boardwalk into the trail, under the shadow of Cascade Mountain. Myriad unique boreal plants for view by botany fans, about a 1.2 hike in and back, and easy trail access from nearby Uncas Road, more info here: https://cnyhiking.com/FerdsBogTrail.htm
TravelerGreat camp. 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.
TravelerPros: river is awesome, wading, catching crayfish, cooling off. Staff were consistently friendly. Sites were flat, easy to level travel trailer. Plenty of kid activities, foam party, obstacle course, balloon launch, etc. Large store. Game room. Bathrooms (at least near the playground) were spacious, with toilet, sink, shower. Cons: signs/photo ops were crooked/loose/broken. Planted annual flowers were dead, overgrown with weeds. Miniature golf holes were falling apart. Bounce pad had a hole in it. The sand from around the edge was blowing from that hole into kids eyes, nose, mouth. Bathrooms were dirty; each has a 2-roll toilet paper dispenser; by early evening two stalls had zero TP left. Tent sites had used toilet paper along the tree line where others had used it as a bathroom. Fire pits were old tire rims, which worked, but unable to cook anything on it
RangerWe called to make last minute reservations for a one night stopover enroute to Vermont. The person on the phone was friendly and accommodating to our needs. When we arrived after hours, the entrance was gated with a card reader access which we did not have a card for. We tried calling back several times but a recording said that the line was busy. Luckily, another camper let us in. There are no signs to direct you which way to go and the sites are poorly marked. With some help from friendly campers we were eventually able to find our site. The sites are have a poorly graveled parking spot and the ground is a little soft. Restrooms are basic and minimal, having a single toilet and sink, a tiny mirror and hand dryer, however it was fairly clean and functional. I was told that there are new owners and they are making improvements
Stillwater Reservoir offers primitive wilderness camping with 40+ sites that are primarily accessible by boat. Most locations feature natural, sandy beachfronts along the reservoir's shoreline. Free camping is available on a first-come, first-served basis, with only one site accessible by car. The reservoir sits at approximately 1,680 feet elevation, creating cooler temperatures than surrounding lowland areas, especially during spring and fall seasons.
Kayaking and paddleboarding: Explore Francis Lake's secluded waterways with direct shoreline access for small watercraft. "My wife and I kayaked to Long Island and stayed for a weekend. It was quiet and had the whole island to our self. Would recommend if you want to break away from technology because you get zero service out there," notes a visitor to Stillwater Reservoir.
Fishing and wildlife viewing: Cast for native fish species at lakes throughout the region. "Fishing was fun…lots of places to go to fish and the scenery was awesome," reports a camper at Sun Outdoors Association Island. Look for bald eagles and loons that frequently visit the area lakes.
Hiking and exploration: Discover multiple trail systems connecting camping areas to scenic viewpoints. "This campsite is right down the road from the fire tower trail," mentions a visitor about Stillwater Reservoir. Winter activities include snowmobiling and cross-country skiing at several locations that maintain seasonal access.
Waterfront sites: Many campers prioritize lake access when selecting sites. "Our spot had gorgeous waterfront to it, a stone fire circle where someone had left extra fire wood, and ample trees," writes a reviewer at Stillwater Reservoir. Water views remain popular across all accommodation types.
Natural beaches: The sandy shorelines provide swimming opportunities throughout warmer months. "The beautiful beach is well attended with life guards on duty keeping you safe but still allowing much fun on the very clean white sand," says a visitor to Delta Lake State Park Campground.
Dark skies for stargazing: Limited light pollution creates exceptional night sky viewing. "Clean, well maintained property with lots of sidewalks around the property. Quite dark at night, but that was a bonus as we were able to see the Milky Way!" explains a camper at Swan Bay Resort.
Weather considerations: Strong winds can impact water activities and campsite setups. "Our neighbor 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," cautions a visitor to Swan Bay Resort.
Site accessibility varies: Many premium sites require watercraft access. "I came here a couple days ago only to realize that all except one campsite needs a boat to be reached. It's first come first serve so best to find another place if you intend to drive up to your campsite," warns a Stillwater Reservoir camper.
Insect preparation: Lake proximity means insect activity, especially during early summer. "One HUGE downfall was the amount of BUGS! Millions 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," notes a visitor to Sun Outdoors Association Island.
Select campgrounds with recreation programs: Some locations offer structured activities for children. "Weekend and week long programming for youth and families, or site rental of cabins and platform tents is available, as well as day use access to the beach and high ropes course," explains a visitor to Selkirk Shores State Park Campground, adding that they have "a great recreation program for the kids."
Consider loop location: Different camping areas have distinct vibes. "This campground is 4 different loops- A loop is like the loop for people here for fishing, B loop is the mellower crowd, and C and D were our nightmares: mass chaos, children running amok," advises a Selkirk Shores State Park camper.
Look for kid-friendly amenities: Playgrounds and protected swimming areas enhance family experiences. "There is a very nice playground for the children and ample bathroom facilities including showers," notes another Selkirk visitor. Many locations also feature educational programs about local wildlife.
Site dimensions: Some campgrounds have challenging layouts for larger vehicles. "The roadways can get a little tight between the trees, and can make for some interesting backing in. Also, the roadways are mostly one-way, which can make getting creative with your trailer landing position tough," explains a visitor to Kayuta Lake Campground.
Hookup variability: Confirm site utilities before booking. "Not all sites have full hookups, some are just power, some are only grey water, and some are full," notes another Kayuta Lake camper. Sites with premium amenities typically book months in advance during peak season.
Access road conditions: Some locations require driving on unpaved roads. "A 20 mile ride of just woods on a bumpy road. Pretty cool!" reports a Stillwater Reservoir visitor. Check campground descriptions for access details, especially after heavy rainfall events.
