No hookup

When we got there there was no one in the sign in station. No electricity or water hookups. We reserved online and there was a mix up. We reserved 3 days got there and found out there was no hookups we were told if we cancelled we would only get a few dollars back. Pool looked nice

Keewadyn State Park

Keewadyn sits along the St. Lawrence River in the Alexandria Bay Area. You can catch some pretty good views-Canada is literally across the way- but this felt a lot like camping in someone’s backyard. The whole park was wide open with barely any shade or trees. Granted, most are probably there to camp by the river and to partake in some of the area’s recreational opportunities, but I generally prefer to camp in more forested, secluded parks.

On the bright side, there is a lot to do in terms of recreation-boating, kayaking, white water rafting, wine tasting and exploring the local history. The park is safe and family oriented. Wouldn’t be my first choice, but maybe a good option for families with young children.

Another NY Gem

This park and campground is clean, quiet and well kept. It's a perfect place for an escape with or without kids. We camped here before children and are looking forward to bringing the kids here to experience the Alex Bay region and the 1000 Islands. There is tons to do in the area including hiking, boating, boat tours, boldt castle tours and more. This is definitely a summertime destination.
