Fishing and boating draw most visitors to Dewolf Point State Park Campground, a small facility on Wellesley Island in the Thousand Islands region of the St. Lawrence River. The campground sits within Wellesley Island State Park, and access to open water is a defining feature here. Tent sites run on the cheaper end of the nightly rate range, with one camper reporting roughly $65 for four nights at a non-electric site.
Sites are close together. Reviewers note you can hear neighboring campers' conversations, so this is not a spot for those who prioritize seclusion. That said, crowds at tent sites can be light, particularly later in the season. The campground also allows dogs, and the surrounding park has hiking trails accessible on foot from camp. Ticks have been noted in the area, so campers should take precautions.
Full hookups are available for RVs up to 20 feet, with electric, water, and sewer connections on-site. The campground is reachable by both car and boat, though reviewers flag rough road access, so low-clearance vehicles should take note. Thomas B. notes that "park employees kept bathrooms clean and were very nice," which is worth factoring in for a multi-night stay. The season runs May 20 through September 19, and reservations are available, making advance booking advisable for summer weekends.

SWIMMING: Each year the campground makes every effort to provide safe swimming opportunities by testing the water and by keeping the swimming areas staffed with lifeguards. Please be aware that if the safety of our swimmers is compromised due to lack of lifeguard coverage or water quality issues, swimming will be prohibited. Swimming cannot be a guaranteed activity; therefore, we cannot offer refunds on camping stays. We apologize for this inconvenience as it may occur with little advance notice.
