The previous owner used to ensure that plant growth never got out of hand. Now you can't even use the eco trail through the woods because it hasn't been cleared in years and the overgrowth inside the pool area is getting out of hand. The waterfall in the hot tub area is no longer functional and overgrown with vines. The emergency call button by the smaller pool is hidden behind bushes. There are weeds everywhere. Speaking of pools, the smaller pool has a small hot tub attached to it, but the jets stopped working and have never been fixed. The solution was to just remove the jet timer. The pools are supposed to be heated, but nowhere near where they should be during the cooler months. We used to enjoy swimming right up through to closing weekend (Thanksgiving) but the water is much too cold now. Even the adult hot tub is no longer hot. The facilities are supposed to be cleaned regularly, but the mold in the showers and bathrooms says otherwise, as do the cobwebs in the main hallway. The playground equipment is starting to get run down and has had only one update in 5 years. There has been no paint added, no new swing seats changed out (there's not even an accessible swing available), and has never had new sand brought in. The owners themselves are rarely seen and only interact with guests when absolutely necessary. That they haven't updated their own KOA page with a little biography of themselves since they bought the place shows how little they care. The previous owner was always out and about, socializing not only with the seasonal campers but with the transients too. Right now the campground is mostly run by the seasonal residents. The only good thing is the dog park. The poop bags are always available and the grass is always well kept. Too bad it's not the case for the rest of the property. It's such a shame. This campground used to be one of the best. Now they just keep raising the prices while the quality plummets.

Sites available with electric, water and sewer hookups (no cable TV), and WiFi is functional (at least at the site we had that was close to the main building). Private shower stalls, clean bathrooms, recreation room, small pool, playground, etc. make this a good location for families. Lots of sites have shade, and there are wooded tent-camping sites within the facility. RV sites are typically close to one another, but not alarmingly so. A marina is located across the 1000 Islands Parkway (rental boats available), but access to most activities will require a short drive into Gananoque.

This campground has always been privately owned until this past year when it was purchased by a company who is slowly purchasing local campgrounds that are for sale.

The company owner has had a few "bugs" to work out but has seemed very motivated to do so and has been receptive to camper input about any concerns.

They were able to accommodate moving all four sites to a better location. The views are incredible here, including the sunsets. I am not an early riser so I did not see any of the sunrises. Lots of stuff for the kids to do. I would recommend bringing bikes for kids because the place is very big. The sites are a little small but I have been in tighter campgrounds before. This is a place I would definitely come back to again.

https://www.localsyr.com/news/local-news/point-peninsula-community-fears-proposed-limestone-mine/amp…read more POINT PENINSULA, N.Y. (WWTI) -- A proposed limestone mine has left a Lake Ontario community angry and fearful. J.E. Sheehan Contracting Corp., a company out of Potsdam, has submitted a permit for a 15.2-acre limestone mine in the Village of Point Peninsula. This project proposal was submitted to the Department of Environmental Conservation. Sheehan owns a campground and restaurant in Point Peninsula. However, residents who live in the village just learned of the project in mid-December. "They will be blasting and mining, they will be pulling stone out," Year-Round Resident Laney Hastings-Taylor explained. Hastings-Taylor has lived in the village for decades and has worked to educate neighbors about the proposed mine, which would be located off Jefferson County Route 57. Many people have rallied with Hastings-Taylor to voice why the mine does not belong in Point Peninsula. "There's one road in, one road out. We didn't buy to have this kind of traffic out here. People walk the roads, they bike. A little girl across the street roller skates," Year-Round Resident Jeannie Koster shared. "You can't have that with that kind of traffic." Aside from work within the mine, the contractor has shared that the mine would increase daily traffic to a minimum of 50 large trucks. "To me, this is a resort area, not, you know, not an industrial type area for mining," Gene Taylor, Laney's husband added. Site work has already been completed on Sheehan's 92.5-acre property, which Taylor explained, has destroyed ecosystems. Point Peninsula and surrounding areas are home to migratory birds, such as snowy owls, bald eagles, ospreys and waterfowl. Taylor also owns three AirBnb's in the village as well as the only you-pick berry farm in Jefferson County. She is worried that this mine will ruin the fragile balance. "People's wells will be contaminated. The runoff from the blasting from the mining, the water is going to go right down that hill and right into the lake," she expressed. "People come and they have a magical vacation because of this lake, because it's just so beautiful. And all those things will be impacted." The DEC is hosting a public comment period on this project. Comments will be accepted through Friday, December 22. Point Peninsula is located in the town of Three Mile Bay, in Jefferson County.

Overnighting at the 1000 Islands / Kingston KOA Holiday…read more One of the main attractions in this area is the 1000 Islands. In actuality, the 1000 Islands is a North American archipelago that contains more than 1,800 islands. Located in the St. Lawrence River between the borders of the United States and Canada, this freshwater paradise is the perfect place for couples, families and friends to enjoy some unforgettable sightseeing. Additionally, the mystery and history surrounding the 1000 Islands draw visitors from all over to the comfortable campground. Throughout the 1800s, the fashionable elite used this region as a retreat, building elaborate island mansions complete with Gothic designs and secret passageways. Discover this region for yourself as you explore the area's charming waterfront villages, historic homes and majestic castles. Experience the tragic love story of Heart Island from one of the many boat lines servicing the Kingston, ON area. Here you'll see firsthand the inspiring Boldt Castle, with its Germanic-style architecture. Other notable sites include Singer Castle on Dark Island and Rock Island Lighthouse with its panoramic river views.

You get one device that can connect to the wifi and then any additional devices are $2. They have some kid activities but again they are all at an additional charge. After traveling extensively through the states and Eastern and Central Canada I can say this place is way over priced for the amenities offered. Update Ended up having to stay here again, this time while traveling on a motorcycle. $51 for a unserviced tent site. Way to expensive, it is unfortunate that small motorcyclists are being taken advantage of. The washroom is a 5 minute walk from the tent sites.

I would love to give this place 5 stars, but unfortunately the treatment of a member of our party…read morewas over the top. The campground has lots of rules, which I understand given that it's meant to be for families with younger kids. One of the rules states that use of MJ is prohibited unless for medical use. When we checked in I made a point of stating that one member of our group was disabled and relied on prescribed medical cannabis. I was told that if they were to smoke it they had to go off the property as there was no smoking of cannabis allowed. But smoking regular cigarettes anywhere outside is okay. I went by later to confirm I'd heard right and also mentioned that a person can't be discriminated against because of medical conditions or disability, which this constitutes, and suddenly one of the owners (wife) was both a doctor and a pharmacist and said they could take edibles or oils but vapes or smoking weren't allowed anywhere because it would disturb other campers. But again, cigarettes are fine. The member of our party then went in later to talk to the owner, mentioning that this was both against Provincial Law and the HRC. The owner refused to relent and they came back to the trailer very distraught. They were treated like a villain and leper because of the medicine they were prescribed by their doctor. This unfortunately put a damper on our trip since one of the group was in constant pain and in order to be able to take their meds they had to walk off the property (we were right in the middle). Defeats the purpose when they have mobility issues. Serves me right for giving them a heads up I guess. I just didn't want them freaking out if they smelled MJ. Wish I hadn't said anything so they could cause a ruckus and call the cops or try and kick us out. Unfortunately we were there with 2 kids and, both of us being parents, put their happiness first and didn't want to cause them any distress. Next time we go there we won't back down on this.
