"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"
"Cooler weather meant no bugs to contend with Next year we took a canoe to our site, it was July, warm weather, warm water and the bugs were not terrible, we were at Site 1, secluded in a cove, not a lot"
"We arrived on a weekend and it was pretty busy but loved it during the week when everybody left and things were quieter."
"It’s an easy mile from I-81 and just 10-minutes drive to Alexandria Bay downtown. The staff was great— friendly and helpful."
"I am tent camping and found my site (105) to have a couple of relatively level areas to choose to set up my tent on."

"Beaver Camp (or, officially Adirondack Mennonite Camping Assoc.), is a classic summer youth sleep-away camp on Beaver Lake."
"Great for swimming, kayaking, and a gorgeous place to wake up next to the water. There are two access points to the water, the more hidden point is where you hike in for camping."
"The sunsets were spectacular and our site was literally just steps from Lake Ontario. All sites are full hook up. Wifi is available and fairly good."
"Great location offering both sunrise and sunsets over the water of Lake Ontario. Loved the access to the water for our dogs to swim and for beautiful views."
from $53 - $116 / night
"Right behind gals ice cream. Park was clean! Bathrooms were nice. We didn’t have any issues at all!"
"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."
"We stayed in the non-electric loop with a small travel trailer and it was great. Half of the loop is in the woods and the other half has spacious, grassy sites bordered with woods behind them."
"There’s a great guarded beach if you have young ones with a newer playground right next to it. They pick up your trash everyday, just leave by the road."

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.
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
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.
ScoutI love how it has great fishing and nice camp sites even let's you bring a boat nice clean showers and bathroom can easily find firewood near by as well..
RangerWe've camped there twice on extended weekends to visit the Bay and castles. Golf carts are welcome. The only issue was that people were not picking up after their dogs. We saw and had multiple dog piles in our campsite and on other parts of the campground.
The ice cream shop Gals is wonderful!! PJs Ratrace had incredible fish fries. Both places are very near the campground.
ScoutHave stayed there several times and it is always a great time.
GuideI am tent camping and found my site (105) to have a couple of relatively level areas to choose to set up my tent on. This site is on Goose Bay, but the sites across the road are on the St Lawrence River just a few hundred feet away. Water nearby, brand new bathrooms with showers and two kitchen clean up stations are a short walk away. Every site has a fire ring with a grill and picnic table. Loons are calling, a mink scampered by on the flat rock shore 15’ away with a fish in its mouth. This place is quiet and peaceful. I will 100% return!
TravelerRelaxing, quiet, decent fishing, clean bathrooms and friendly staff
Natural Bridge sits in the western part of New York's Adirondack region, approximately 65 miles northeast of Syracuse. The area is known for its limestone formations and karst topography with an elevation of around 850 feet. Summer temperatures typically range from 55-80°F with higher humidity, while winters can drop well below freezing with significant snowfall accumulation.
Swimming and water activities: Stillwater Reservoir offers clear water ideal for swimming with sandy beachfronts at some sites. "We saw Bald Eagles and Loons, enjoyed swimming, canoing and paddleboarding with the family," shares Christie M. about her experience at Stillwater Reservoir.
Boat explorations: Many sites are boat-access only, creating secluded experiences. "My wife and I kayaked to Long Island and stayed for a weekend. It was quiet and had the whole island to our self," reports Sam T. about Stillwater Reservoir.
Winter activities: The area transforms in winter months with snowmobiling and cross-country skiing options. "We've camped here every year but it's getting difficult to get in here... We love sitting on a big rocks, watching sunsets and ships go by," notes Laura H. about Kring Point State Park Campground.
Waterfront access: Many campsites sit directly on lakes or rivers. "Rocky (flat) but beautiful. Hard to get into because people book far in advance," mentions Cindy T. about Kring Point State Park.
Disconnecting from technology: Limited cell service provides a true escape. "Would recommend if you want to break away from technology because you get zero service out there," says Sam T. about Stillwater Reservoir.
Fishing opportunities: The region offers excellent fishing in multiple bodies of water. "Great fishing from almost every part of this park. Two beaches to swim. Almost every campsite is on the water," reports Brian F. about Kring Point State Park.
Boat-in camping requirements: Many sites require watercraft to 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," warns Kane about Stillwater Reservoir.
Weather preparation: Conditions can change rapidly with wind being a particular challenge. "Depending on day - EXTREMELY VERY WINDY AND COLD! But the view is beautiful," notes Ben B. about Burnham Point State Park Campground.
Reservation timing: Popular sites book up early. "We took a chance and it didn't disappoint... We stayed in the non-electric loop with a small travel trailer and it was great," shares Joseph B. about Jacques Cartier State Park.
Kid-friendly water access: Look for gradual entry points for safer swimming. "A great guarded beach if you have young ones with a newer playground right next to it," recommends Alycia M. about Jacques Cartier State Park Campground.
