Wellesley Island State Campground Wellesley Island, NY 13640

"Nice place. Check with office on slope of some sites. Our 30' tt had rear bumper almost touching and front jack on a block and at full extension to get almost level front to back."

"Everything was good. Except the shower house and bath room s by chip monk cabins. We watched the staff go in and out but the shower had black mold and spider webs all week. I would rate the cleanliness of the cabins and bath houses a 3…"

"We usually never stay in traditional campgrounds, always opting for free stuff in the forests, boat launches, etc. Well this place was worth the reasonable cost! We scored such a fantastic site, I cannot believe someone else did not snag it. Lots of families out there with their large RVs, kids running around and having fun, but we did not mind it. All that noise calmed down around 9pm. Slept great, took a morning dip in the river. We will definitely be back some day! We had such a fantastic view of the sunset from our hammock at our site."

"Eagle loop site 64 was great. We had wonderful views and felt alone because we weren’t jammed next to others. One of the best maintained State Parks we’ve visiting. Bugs were not bad at all for us. We used a screened in tent, did wonders. There’s a place that sells an entire wheelbarrow of wood for $30 to the right before you enter the park. Ended up leaving half of it because plenty of other people offered the wood they left. Commuting to Alexandria Bay was super easy and fun driving over the bridge. We visited their community thrift shop bc we needed a pot and heavy blanket, was $5. There’s a gas station with alcohol before you get onto south 81 because they don’t sell any at the park. Overall, we would go back again, but maybe try to get a site on the water for our dogs if it’s not booked already. Book ahead!"

"This site was hyped WAY more than what we got from it. For full hookups, there is only one loop (Loop F) for them and they do not support larger trailers/5th wheels. The sites on this loop have a max length of 40' back-in, but when we drove them, there is absolutely no way that there were more than 2 spots that would have accommodated this and it wouldn't have been an easy fit unless you're very experienced with backing in a camper/5th wheel. The sites were extremely close together as well, with no mature trees, and not real parking for cars. Also, we noticed a trend of cars taking up extra spots and many cars for one site spilling over into others sites. We stayed in H10 and he sites were much more spacious. There were no mature trees around the campsite at all, but plenty of room for our kids to roam and play. The sites are electric only with water pump stations around. Luckily, we were situated in a spot that we could run hose to the spigot for water. We would suggest having an extra 100-150' of hose if you're planning to stay here. There is a cute park right on this loop for the kids to play at. The dump stations had very low water pressure making it difficult to flush the black tank. Additionally, they only had 3 spots for dump which meant there is a wait and it kind of sucked in the rain. We did see a lot of wildlife which was fun for the kids (and man). It was fairly quiet even though our loop was completely full. The scenery is beautiful. The river is gorgeous and fishing was fun. It was harder to find a spot to fish from - you cannot fish from the piers which is very inconvenient with little kids to navigate wet rocks and risk a fall. They have a few very nice boating docks to launch from. The store has very minimal supplies - be ready to make sure you don't need anything, or you'll have to pay the toll to get across the bridge to get to the grocery store. There are no grocery stores on the island. There is no gas stations on the island currently and there is one being remodelled. Hopefully, it'll be ready next year. It was a nice stay, but it was not as epic as we had hoped to be (and it had been hyped to be). It really isn't our go to for the future."
