Wellesley Island State Park Campground in Fineview has both electric-only and full hookup options with spacious sites, particularly in the Heron loop.

Seasonal availability varies significantly across the region, with most RV parks operating from May through October due to harsh winter conditions. Advance reservations are strongly recommended, especially for premium waterfront sites which can cost up to $95 per night at some resorts. Many campgrounds provide amenities specifically for RV travelers including sanitary dump stations, propane services, and laundry facilities. Cell service is generally reliable near larger towns but may be limited in more remote locations. Several parks offer boat launches and marina access for RV campers bringing watercraft. Pet policies are typically accommodating, with designated dog areas available at larger resorts like Swan Bay. Proximity to grocery stores and supplies varies by location, with some parks like Swan Bay offering walking distance access to Price Chopper and Dollar General.
"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."

Check in at front gate was courteous and quick!
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.
ScoutR/v area seems pretty full and seems to have lots of full time campers possibly.
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.
GuideI've stayed here twice, once in 2024 and again in 2026, both on Memorial Day Weekend. In 2024 I woke to the sound of loons but did not hear them in 2026.
This is a large campground on the shores of Cranberry Lake with access to many hiking trails and other activities. Quite a few of the sites are lakefront but they seem to book up fast. Most of the sites are spaced out fairly well although a few are close and will result in you seeing & hearing everything your neighbors are doing. However, they are mostly designed well and blend into the environment. A few seem like afterthoughts and are right on the road, so you'll want to choose carefully.
Dumpsters are in the center of the campground near the bathhouse, which has hot showers. There is a sandy beach area near the entrance of the campground and a volleyball area near the dumpsters/bathhouse.
It's a beautiful area and is mostly quiet. Other campers were respectful and didn't play loud music although a few talked loudly late into the night. There are lots of trailer camping sites, so you should expect to hear generators although most people were considerate and only ran them in the daytime.
This is a great campground for exploring the Adirondack Mountains. The town of Cranberry Lake seems mostly dead so don't plan on eating in restaurants nearby.
LegendThis has been one of my favorite campgrounds and I have camped there many times over the last several decades. Always well maintained, but peaceful state forest campground with spacious sites, many right on the water. There is an official beach, but the water sites really have their own access for canoes and nice swimming. The water is crystal clear, sunsets magnificent, canoeing and hiking opportunities abound, and even on a "busy" summer weekend the campground is quiet and the fellow campers are low key and respectful. For a tent camper, this is an ideal location and I love it. Fire ring, even tenting spot, picnic tables, etc. There are numerous accessible campsites, a shower building, and regular restrooms as well as privvies. Small trailers can fit and their is an RV dumpstation, but this is not a campground for big rigs and hookups. The campground is a little off the beaten path and in the further reaches of the Adirondacks for most campers, and the vicinity is one of the largest and most pristine areas in the ADK wilderness. Come well supplied with groceries and camping needs as there isnt much nearby. The SUNY Forestry school maintains a Ranger school at nearby Wanakena on the west side of the lake, and a Field Biology station on the south side of the lake. Nice hiking in the area
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.
ScoutCedar Point is in a very nice location,our site that I booked was not in a ideal location being on the road to the boat launch, ( my fault ) Camping went fine until the last couple of days when people starting walking through our site, looked liked a group of people who knew each other and we were in their way.
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..
RV campsites near Redwood, New York offer varied experiences along the St. Lawrence River and surrounding waterways. Most campgrounds in this region operate seasonally from May through October due to harsh winter conditions. The area features numerous waterfront camping opportunities with easy access to boating, fishing, and water recreation activities.
Paddling opportunities: At Cranberry Lake Campground, kayaking on the lake is a popular activity. "We spent one day kayaking on the lake and another day hiking. While the mosquitoes weren't bad at the campground itself, they are terrible on the trails this time of year, so bring your bug spray, or better yet, bug shirts!" advises one visitor.
Fishing adventures: The St. Lawrence River region offers excellent fishing conditions. At Jacques Cartier State Park Campground, visitors can enjoy both shoreline and boat fishing. "A boat launch in the park may it easy for boaters. A beach/swimming area is great for the whole family," notes one reviewer who rated the park 5 stars.
Hiking trails: Several campgrounds feature walking paths and nature trails. "The hike up and around Bear Mountain was a good workout and fun experience for our whole family (littlest is 6)," shares one camper about Cranberry Lake. The trails range from easy lakeside walks to more challenging terrain in the Adirondack foothills.
Waterfront views: The sunset vistas are highly rated by campers at Burnham Point State Park Campground. "Beautiful view of the river. Easy access to swim in the water. Very clean bathrooms. Electric site with water," states one review, highlighting the park's river access.
Clean facilities: Campground cleanliness is consistently mentioned in positive reviews. "The bathrooms are clean, and there is plenty of hot water!" writes one camper about Cranberry Lake. Another notes about Burnham Point: "Campsite is very clean and peaceful. Bugs are a minimum. Bathrooms are great- showers with nice and hot water."
Spacious sites: Many RV sites near Redwood provide generous spacing. At Wellesley Island State Park Campground, "Large open sites with not much shade but it is the only loop that gets US Verizon service. Marina on site along with a nice Nature Center and miles of hiking trails by the water."
Weather considerations: Wind can be a significant factor when camping near the St. Lawrence River. At Sun Outdoors Association Island, one camper warns: "Will certainly be back! Campsite is very clean and peaceful. Bugs are a minimum. Bathrooms are great- showers with nice and hot water. Down sides- lake front campsites are all on a slope- minimum flat space. Also- depending on day- EXTREMELY VERY WINDY AND COLD!"
Reservation requirements: During peak season (June-August), most campgrounds fill quickly. "You'll definitely need to plan ahead and make reservations if you plan to be here during the crazy season," advises a Cranberry Lake visitor.
Site selection: When booking, review site maps carefully. "I will say do your homework, check out the site photos which you can easily find online. Get a waterfront site but be aware the privacy isn't great at many sites," recommends a Cranberry Lake camper.
Swimming access: Families with children should look for campgrounds with designated swimming areas. Jacques Cartier State Park features "a guarded beach if you have young ones with a newer playground right next to it."
Recreation amenities: Fort Drum Recreation Area offers various family-friendly options. "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," mentions a military family who visited.
Evening activities: Many campgrounds offer community fire pits and gathering spaces. "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," describes a visitor to Sun Outdoors Association Island.
Site surface types: RV campers should note the surface types when booking. "Our site (#38) was a 'standard site' near the pool, boat launch, activities, and Tiki Bar. 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," explains a visitor to Sun Outdoors Association Island.
Wind protection: RVers should secure awnings due to strong winds along the water. "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," cautions an RVer at Sun Outdoors Association Island.
Seasonal utilities: Most RV sites near Redwood, New York offer full hookups but operate seasonally. At Wellesley Island State Park, "All roads are paved with grass and gravel sites. We were on site H33 in the Heron Loop with 30A electric. There are water spigots around the loop to fill up your fresh tank before setting your jacks."
