Jacques Cartier State Park New York 12, Morristown, NY

"Super nice park, well maintained. Dog friendly, sites are decent size, and good views by the water. Beach was pretty run down, we didn’t see anyone swim the entire weeekend. We would come again!"

"We came here for a weekend getaway this past weekend and had a wonderful time. We brought our two small dogs, and it was very pet friendly. The bathrooms were clean and had hot water. (One suggestion: think about changing the shower heads? They are jet streams and hurt a little lol) but nothing we couldn't deal with. The campsites were very spacious, the park staff were friendly and very attentive. The beach was closed, though, while we were there the entire time. People still swam, but we weren't sure why it was closed? Great spots to fish if you want to fish. Also, great views are all around. We were able to watch the fireworks they had in Canada, and it was beautiful. One real suggestion: maybe getting a camp store? Overall, it was a GREAT camping spot and would highly recommend to anyone."

"This was my first time visiting this park and I tried to string the trails together to get one continuous loop. It ended up being roughly 2 miles and change from the parking lot by the beach out and back. Each trail intersection was clearly marked in the woods but I still checked the photocopied trail map they gave me at the entrance station to make sure I was turning in the right direction. I walked clockwise around the trails. However, I think the counter-clockwise direction might be more challenging with steeper uphills, but that's just a guess. The terrain varied quite a bit from roots to rock to mud to deep sawdust and there were a few steep up-and-down sections. I definitely recommend using hiking or trail running shoes. There wasn't anyone else out walking so it was a glorious time to be in the woods. There was a little bit of car/truck noise but it was still pretty quiet most of the time. Also, in mid-June, the mosquitoes and black flies were out in force in the wetter areas so don't forget to bring the bug spray!"

"Great park, hard to figure out where to park your trailer as it’s just a big grassy field but once you are it’s great and so close to the water. Showers are great and there is laundry too!"

"Beautiful shoreline access to St. Lawrence River! I had never been here before but was driving by with my son and dog so we stopped. The waterfront campsites appear to be great for kayaking. There is also a boat launch located in the waterfront campsite area. The swimming area closed for the season 8/20 but it didn't look that great.. lots of lily pads and sea grass growing on the sides. I thought it was really cool they have a laundry room though! I posted a separate picture with the hours and cost of the laundry that was posted on a bulletin board."
