Beautiful State Park. The best of the three others State parks nearby. Beautiful views of the river from many sites. We were on Site 2. The sites are mostly grass. Most are spacious. We were there for a week. The only problem was we couldn’t take showers for that whole week. No hot water! First it was because the electrician had to fix something. Then they discovered they were out of propane. Then it seemed like the supplier was out of propane. Once’s filled with propane it was discovered that one of the heaters still had electrical issues so we were waiting on the electrician again. We were told that we should be able to take warm showers until the electrician made it back. We tried. The hot water in the sink got barely warm. Since the showers weee push button the showers did not. Slightly warm plus extremely cold ends up being cold so the showers were still not useable. We weee told we could go to one of the nearby parks to take a hot shower but didn’t want to drive 20-40 minutes to take a hot shower. The staff were very nice but extremely young. They couldn’t seem to get their supervisor, who worked at a nearby park, to do anything about the useless shower situation. They did plant new plants in many planters. Pretty but not useful like the showers might have been. Also the drinking water fountains around the park were wrapped in plastic to, again, useless. The park has a very nice playground and a volleyball net. Great park. Beautiful. Just think the supervisor should be fired.

Sunsets are amazing, campground is small, packed with sites one on top of the other, and the wind seemed like it was going to actively blow our tent away. If you fish you will definitely catch a whole lot of gobies. The playground is very nice, showers are warm but with no adjustable temp, and a button you have to push frequently. You will have to wait in line to pee in the morning because each bathroom cubicle has a shower and a toilet and will fill up with everyone showering.

Had a great spot with a great view. All sites have plenty of room. We looked at the other sites as well for our next trip there. Showers and rest rooms were outstanding and well kept with plenty of room as well. Playground for the kids, a small boat launch as well with fishing as well. Located between Cape Vincent and Clayton. We plan on returning. Our site also had 30/50 amp service. Water filling areas bas well as a well kept dumping station.

I have mixed feelings about this state park. I give the staff and the very clean modern bathrooms a 5 star. Also the water view is beautiful. But it is a very small park with little privacy between sites. The only reason to be here is to drive to Alex bay to do a boat tour of Boldt Castle and go to Clayton to the boat museum.

Very, very tiny park. And it's pretty much located in the middle of nothing but farm land boonies. If you don't have a boat or fish there is really absolutely nothing to do but just kind of sit around and relax. Its a beautiful view tho. Also there are no stores close by FYI, nearest ones are a 20 minute drive or more.
