Beautiful beach ! I went in October on a Thursday morning - no charge to enter park . I arrived at 720am and all fields had a solid number of cars; still plenty of parking as there are 5 fields . I parked in field 5 with an extremely short walk to the beach . The beach itself was clean and well taken care of . Some fishermen present . Most people wearing masks . I felt safe and park rangers where frequently making their rounds . No bugs, very windy . got to see deer making their way to the water :-) . Found my first ever sand dollars !! Stunning rocks and plenty of shells as the tide rolls out . Water is dark brown looking . I didn’t have a chance to walk the nature trail / lighthouse but have heard good things . Tons of local there ; all extremely nice & welcoming. Beautiful drive in and out. Highly recommend .

Very nice beach monitor by life guards. Electric sites with asphalt roads, kept really clean. Plenty of trees and sun sites for RVs and tents. Good fishing spot too. Dump station is a bit inconvenient for the new camp area near the beach but not big deal to make a short detour on the way out.

Not my idea of camping. Reserved two spaces, so we could enjoy a relaxing weekend outside with my parents. Unfortunately, we apparently were in the party zone. I get the fact that kids and dogs go with the territory, especially when camping in a state park, but karaoke at 11:00pm? Not to mention the fact that we were packed in like sardines. Again, its kind of hard to enjoy the outdoors when you cant help but overhear other peoples F-bomb littered campfire conversation. At least it didnt seem to bother my parents.

We camp here frequently. Very nice well kept state park. Electric sites with dump station. Almost every site is level and easily fit a 5th wheel camper.

The ride there took us through a sleepy village filled with horse and buggy, old farm houses and churches. The park itself was exquisite....well kept a true cool place to spend a week camping.

Nature Center is extremely well done. Interesting, clean, spacious, welcoming. This is well worth a visit if you are in the area with children. As an outdoor area, it is a gorgeous spot. Very special.

Love the park.....great space, grounds well kept, and nice campsites. A few too many dogs (most well behaved...only a few not). Rest rooms nice, but for some reason not as clean this visit...same stuff on floors and in showers for all days of visit. Nice to see patrols going through during day.

Very nice park. Very quiet even over the 4th in the upper loop. Bathrooms were nice and kept clean. Workers at the park very nice but not bothersome would definitely come again. Lots of things to see near by like the locks, power authority generation plant and the nature center, had a great time.

I would give 5 stars but the bafoons in charge restricted the rest of us law abiding citizens so much since Sept 11 2001 that its not as fun anymore. Many who were kids then know what I mean.

Nice little state park. Not overcrowded. Great place for a walk or picknick. There is a nature center as well as a hydroelectric dam. Watch your speed when driving through the park. There is a tunnel under a lock or or waterway. The height is 13 6. Tall vehicles like rvs and campers make sure all antennas are down or you will loose them.

Absolutely love this place! Its our annual Labor Day tradition. Spacious sites, nice fire rings, close proximity to the locks and amenities. Only complaint this year is people with dogs that bark constantly. If you cant control them leave them home! I didnt come on vacation 3 hours from home to listen to them bark!

My family and I were at your campground this past weekend. I do believe you get what you pay for. There were very few amenities on the grounds. We chose this establishment as it was close to our family. Which is probably the only positive factor in my experience. I thought the lady at the registration office was not very personable. Dealing with the public I believe this is a very important quality to have. I have yet to visit a campground that does not have leash laws/rules. Although i also have yet to visit a campground where the people actual follow this rule or that the campground enforces it. I have a very sweet dog that loves people but does not get along with other animals. I keep her on a lead/leash the WHOLE time we camp. I make sure not to bring her to the dog parks. I am doing my part to make sure we have a pleasant and relaxing time while we camp. Rules are put into place for every ones well being and safety. Unfortunately while we were there we had a dog wonder onto our site. I told a gentlemen that there are leash rules and he proceeded to get nasty with me ending in a heated verbal altercation. For this reason and others I will never again stay here again. Very disappointed

We camped here for a week. We really liked it. They do not have full hookups or we would have stayed here the whole time. The playground is nice and the beach is really clean and clear. They even have a lifeguard. They have pretty nice bath houses with a place to wash dishes but no laundry that I saw.

The man that works at the park marina was excellent!! He was very friendly and taught us how to operate one of the fishing boats that is available for rent. We had a lot of fun, and we thought it was an affordable bargain. We stayed in cabin number seven. It had a secluded yard, but only offered a sliver of a view of the St. Lawrence. This park is large and you have to drive to the park amenities.

I have been camping here since i was a child its a Great environment, lots of space for larger campers, the grounds are relatively clean but I recommend taking a shower in your camper if able to because the showers in the bathroom are too dam hot and you have to keep pushing the button on the wall and when you have soap in your eyes it makes the task somewhat difficult not to mention the bathrooms and showers dont look very clean. Theres a nice playground by the beach and an old swing in the other part of the camp ground its nice that they finally fixed the road coming in

Would stay again, however sites are close together and water sources are hard to get a RV near. No fresh water at dump station or near non electric sites. Many activities in park Beach, locks, nature center. Once again pricey for out of state travelers.

Our campsite was disgusting. There were used condoms we rushed to clean up before our little ones found them. The fire pit had rotting food in it. If it wasnt for our kids being so excited we wouldve just left. I called several times and tried to talk to a manager but was told there wasnt one there. I left my contact information and still havent heard from anyone. Several other campers called to complain about other things and was told the same thing. We all went and bought toilet paper because the bathrooms didnt have any for over a day, even though staff stopped several times to clean them. Even after the woman camping next to me called they showed up but didnt even get out of the truck. Will never go there again!

Review №75

A beautiful facility. Unfortunately, we went on Labor Day weekend and there were plenty of typical holiday weekend campers present: loud, drunk, and obnoxious . Our site (among others) was not left clean by the last group.The Eisenhower Lock is amazing and the Power Dam visitors center is interesting with lots of hands-on exhibits.Well go back on a non-holiday weekend.

Not a good experience at all. Sites were small, uneven, and mud pits. That being said it was a very rainy summer. No excuse for the small uneven lots though. Hardly no phone reception for AT&T or Verizon. You have to drive half way out of the park to get signal.
