Great campground! The staff were awesome, bathrooms very clean, walking distance to Grass Point State Park and close to both Clayton and Alexandria Bay. Lovely convenience store and delicious ice cream next door at Gal's Place. We'll be back!
We are Canadians and I found this campground by fluke when searching Google to research our family vacation. We stayed here for 4 nights. The campground is decent size and the camp hosts are very friendly. The sites are a good size but we lucked out with a huge site and a 19 foot trailer. The washrooms are well kept and modern. The shower house is also nice with 4 separate rooms each having a shower, toilet and sink. I never had to wait to use the shower as we were here throughout the week and it wasn't busy. Weekends would likely be different as it sems ti be mostly seasonal sites. There is no pool, but the small playground would be good for younger children. Firewood is $5 a bundle which is a great deal. A 6 minute drive will bring you to the closest hamlet of Clayton which has a beautiful waterfront park, a grocery store and many quaint little stores. We did the Clayton Island Tour out to Rock Island Lighthouse. Back to the campground tho......as previously mentioned I am Canadian and my cell phone would not allow me to make any calls. I needed to get in touch with my family Dr. over a concern for my teenage son. Not knowing what else to do I went to the office, explained my situation and the camp host on duty allowed me to use the office phone to call my Dr. I offered to pay the long distance charge and was told not to worry about it. I would 100% reccomend this campground if you are in the area.
My daughter and I spent 5 nights in one of the "Glamping tents". It was so nice not having to put up and take down our tent. Bathrooms and showers were ALWAYS clean. Everyone was friendly. Location is perfect, 10 mins from Clayton, Alex Bay and Wellesley Island. Cute ice cream place within walking distance (Gals Place), which is also a small store and Deli. Also within walking distance to the Beach at Grassy Point Park. Such a nice place!!
Please note! Despite the deceiving pictures, there is absolutely NO water access at this campground. You cannot see the bay, the seaway or any vessels sailing by. They will tell you there is a path to the state park next to them where you can view the water but it is often impassable, and once you pop out at the state park it is still a long-a** hike. Camp at Grass Point State Park next door. 1000 Islands campground despite no water access is clean and the office staff were very friendly and helpful. They offered us a pass to get into the state park next door free, but you shouldn’t have to go to another campground! Especially difficult when you have a motorhome! False advertising. Be forewarned!
Booked this last minute after spending a 90 degree night at Keewaydin without hookups. The staff were so friendly and helpful. The spots were more spacious than Keewaydin. The bathrooms were spotless. There was a dump station which was super convenient. Very convenient location close to Clayton and Alexandria Bay. We would definitely stay here again!
