Robert Moses State Park - Thousand Islands — Attraction in Town of Massena

This is will be a long review about cabin 4. We stayed for a week over July 4th holiday. We are a family of 6 with four young boys. I'd say overall it was a fine cabin. Not necessarily clean but also not gross. I had to wipe down surfaces and clean the fridge before I felt comfortable but it was ok. Fridge, stove top (didn't use oven), and sink all worked well. Beds and bedrooms were great. Shelves and hangers and a rod for clothes, shelves by the beds. Bathroom was not great. Floor was peeling up and sink was old. Shower was small and leaked onto the floor but it did have great pressure and hot water! The water tasted awful in the cabin though, not sure why. All the windows had screens and worked very well. Bring fans for the summer!! It gets stuffy in there. I saw some cabins had window AC units too which I wish we had brought. The backyard was so huge it was kind of silly. Picnic table, fire ring with grate, and grill. There was a sewer access in our backyard that sometimes smells quite bad. Just a small view of the water, nothing spectacular especially since the dam was there so it wasn't very pretty. There was a bit of water access but again not much and the current was strong there. There was also a nightly skunk. We smelled it once and saw it twice around twilight which left us unable to enjoy being outside after dark! It was such a bummer. I saw no signs of mice in the cabin and we had only a few flies inside, no mosquitos at all really even outside. Where the cabins are you have to drive to everything within the park. The beach was nice though! Clean clear water, soft sand, plenty of lifeguards on duty who were attentive. It's a walk from the parking lot though which I did not like. Plenty of shade by the picnic tables and playground. The staff were all friendly enough and helpful. We rented a pontoon boat from the marina one day and that was excellent. The boat was brand new and beautiful. Barely used any gas but were out all day. Marina staff was very nice. Overall we had a fine experience at the park but I wouldn't say it was spectacular. Mostly because the views are so encroached on by the dams and the lock. But the water in the river is so clean and clear and it was a good time for our family. I would also say the unique things like the nature center and the lock center and lock really made it a more special...

If you have kids or pets that like to play outside at your site, this park is not the best park for you! People drive through the campground SO SO SO fast, including all of the park staff, and nothing is done about it. One of the teenagers driving a park truck was on her phone and almost drove into the backend of my husband’s truck she was driving so fast and missed the curve.

Our campsite was in a great location but had no grass at all, it was complete mud, and it rained, so it ended up being so so messy. Campsite 241… you don’t want it!

Lastly, they are not telling people that they do not have water, and haven’t since the season started. The girl at the desk that checked me in (after she finally set her phone down to talk to me) told me that “the well is broken”, but when we had to drive back out to fill up with water at the marina, he told us that it has not been operational all season. There is no pottable water at all anywhere on site, and showers in the bathhouses are limited. We spoke to several other campers who had no clue about this prior to check in and said that would have changed their plans. Thankfully we were only there 4 days so our tank held enough water to get us through.

Playground is great, if you have littles. Beach was also great and...

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...
