It is a shame how two years ago; you could have 2 cars on your site for free. Now you have to pay $12.50/ night for the second car. I went the second week of September and there were not many people. It calms down after Labor Day since everyone is back to school and work. The grass was cut this time. The toilets were clean and there was always soap and toilet paper. Yipeeee! The only downside was it rained from 3am to 9am. Our tent was wet but we were able to dry everything.

Mille Roches was one of our least favorite campgrounds on our 9 day trip through Canada. Our tent…read moresite was next to the water and private, but on a huge slope. The only semi flat spot was on the very bottom next to the river. This would be a great site if you wanted to kayak. The only water site wasn't anywhere near our tent site. There wasn't a practical place to park our car, and due to the rain the site was muddy and our car almost got stuck. The roads are slippery and muddy. They really need to add some gravel to the roadway. The whole campground felt overgrown and unkempt. I wanted to take a shower before we left in the morning, but they lock the showers overnight. I don't think it's unreasonable to want to take a shower at 6:45. The river is pretty, but I wouldn't stay here ever again.

So much potential...just not quite good enough…read more Location: Ridiculously easy to get to from Mtl...its seriously one road the whole way (the 20/401 westbound), one exit (778) and one left turn (well technically also a right turn to get into the specific campground). Easy peasy! Plus bonus: there's a Timmy's less than a 5 minute drive from the campground! Campsites: This is where they lose their points...and it's such a damn shame because they have soooooo mannnnnyyyyy waterfronts!! We stayed at site 208 and while it definitely wasn't one of the better waterfront options....it was a pretty good indication of all of the other waterfront sites. That is to say they are all hellaaaa sloped! Huge ridiculous angles making it stoopid to park ur car let alone put up a tent. Some of the waterfronts did have less inclined slopes making them more reasonable as options (ex: 201 and 202 weren't nearly as bad). Any non waterfront site seemed just terrible in my opinion: either out in the open with no privacy or tucked into a bunch of mosquito ridden woods and tons of mud (it's been an especially rainy season this year). If u have an adjustable trailer this place would be awesome, but even then it'll put lots of pressure on the trailer legs and it would be a b*tch to get ur trailer in and out. Overall at 35$ a night for a waterfront u'd think they could afford to put some platform wedges down to make the sites decently camp-able in a tent. However, being able to fish off our site definitely does have it's allure, even tho we didn't catch anything. Scenery: Beautiful St Lawrence lake and surrounding typical Ontario forests. At sites 208- 199 u have a great view of the setting sun! Weather: Omg we were soooo unlucky!! It rained damn near the whole 2-1/2 days we were there! At first it was warm big rain drops with thunder n lightning so that was pretty kool...but then it just KEPT RAINING and got windier and windier and colder and more unpleasant. Sun did come out for brief periods but it was still super windy and not very pleasant. Water in the lake still felt warm but lack of nice weather made it so we didn't actually go swimming. Commodities/Accommodations: - DOGS ALLOWED! - Store also serves as the check in kiosk. There is wood (8$ for a cheap amount of meh- ok-wood, burns alright, terrible quantity for the price). There is also ice (3.25 per decent bag commercial ice cubes). They also offer a variety of groceries (ketchup hotdogs etc...) and i noticed some toys n very few fishing supplies (a coupla hooks etc..). Forgot to ask if they sold worms (i just gathered worms from under the many rocks on our campsite). They also had a Keurig with coffee and tea cups available. But we just drove the 5 mins to the Timmy's. - Shower and laundry facilities near the entrance. 3 other Flushable toilets and running warm water sinks bathrooms near some of the loops (not all). Don't take a site adjacent to a bathroom...they're all open n offer zero privacy. Across or nearby is fine tho. Activities: Plenty of beaches nearby (no alcohol nor dogs allowed on beaches), i think a couple of them had boat rentals. Plenty of parks for the kiddos ranging from just a swing set to the works. We just spent any nice weather fishing from our site. I didn't notice any hiking trails but there must of been some somewhere. Wildlife: Saw plenty of chipmunks both long tailed n short. Also saw a bunch of wild turkeys just ambling around. Plenty of birds of all kinds, different kinds of ducks and geese. That's about it. Tons of bugs (earwigs, spiders, ants, gnats), but we didn't get bit too much: bf got bit once, i think me too. Overall if the site hadn't have been so sloped (and most sites for that matter) ...and if we had gotten nicer weather which isn't the campground's fault but still has an effect because of how terrible this place gets bogged down by rain (MUD!!). And if there had been a better wood-to-price ratio ...well then it might've actually gotten 4 stars. Will be checking out the other 2 parks on these islands. Might come back here n give it another shot eventually.

Using another service I found this to be in the right area and with a high rating…read more What a pleasant surprise on arriving. Room facing the St Lawrence River. A continuous deck accommodating a couple of gas bbqs, tables and chairs for each room, a small kitchen area (fridge, microwave, coffee maker sink), gas fireplace, etc! On turning the cover of the bed we found a mint on each pillow. Such a lovely treat in addition to the clean well kept establishment. A pro or con is the no children in parts of the Inn, not sure if in all parts. Strict no smoking in no smoking rooms (not sure if smoking rooms exist as we are not smokers). Beyond the deck are terraced gardens down to the water's edge. In the morning a generous continental breakfast is included.

This review is for the Restaurant only. Our family would rate it a 10 if we could…read more The food must have been made in house, fresh turkey, stuffing, potatoes, all sorts of veggies and the soup was luscious and NOT over salted like many other places. The poutine was made with real homemade gravy, fresh fries and cheese melted (not curds) on top. Mmm. My son went back 4 times to the buffet and left a clean plate. The 15 or so desserts seemed to be made in house, and incredibly tasty. The choices were numerous, as one could order off the menu or buffet. The waitress even brought out onto the deck a bowl of water for our dog. She was genuinely concerned with our needs and while being very busy & the only one on the deck serving, she was attentive, friendly, and definitely a lovely person. She added a few more stars to our 10 star rating. It is a country, friendly, and reasonably priced eatery. It could use some paint but the service, quality and cost definitely out weights it.

PSA for those attending the Morrisburg campus of the Operating Engineers Training Institute of…read moreOntario - don't go to the tavern here, the owners don't want your business - they do want your money though, and so won't tell you until halfway through your meal/visit that there is a 2-drink limit for students from the school. Apparently they had problems with some people from the school so they are tarring all the students - even professionals in their 30s like my husband - with the same brush. He went last night with a group from the school and was treated very rudely by management. His group wasn't unruly (couldn't be since a limit on drinks exists for students) and he was served overdone chicken wings that would have best served as dog treats. They won't tell you about the 2-drink limit they've imposed on students until you have ordered because they want your money. They should really just put a sign on the door stating that they don't want business from the school, but they won't do this because they are a business in a small town and need all the money they can get - however they will treat you terribly when you get there so don't bother going. Treating all students from the school as if they had the same personality as the one guy who they had issues with is a discriminatory business practice and these owners deserve all the blowback they can get from being rude to students at the school. Maybe as penance they can try eating some of their overcooked chicken wings.

What a great place! I'd come over the steel bridge from Canada. It was narrow and there would have…read morebeen traffic in both directions if there was any traffic! The steel caught the tires in its grooves and guided my car. I wondered if anyone would be at the border crossing, but it was staffed and I was waved through quickly. Ogdensburg has a motel, perhaps a walmart, some fast food restaurants, but at first I didn't think it had a hotel. I was driving slow in the dark not wanting to hit deer and, then, I even saw some deer. And just then, on the southern outskirts of Ogdensburg I saw the Stonefence resort and motel. It was about 10PM and no one was at the front desk, but there was a phone on the side of the wall and after picking up the receiver, it didn't take long for the owner came driving in. The motel was great - drive up right outside your door. With windows open on two sides of the room, a breeze comes through. It is a very comfortable bed, good wifi, good shower, good climate control. The back door and window looked down to the river. I mostly skip hotel breakfasts but I had the free one her:, made to order - fresh scrambled eggs, sausage, and potatoes, hot and cooked just right by a friendly member of the staff. The staff people are very helpful. I was moved on, but there is a nice boardwalk-type place on the water, with chairs under a gazebo. There are many, many kinds of rooms. I felt blessed and lucky to have not had to push on 45 miles in the dark toward watertown.

The bed is comfortable with even more comfortable pillows. The TV has more channels than any hotel I have stayed at before and has a TV guide. Free wifi and many outlets to use for whatever. The water pressure is great and can get super hot or super cold. The alarm clock also has USB outlets. The lighting is great and has a full length mirror so is easy to get ready in. They have chairs outside on the little porch that wraps around the motel so you can sit outside and enjoy the weather. There is a 7-11 and gas across the street so anything you may need last second is walking distance away. Katie who is one of the owners with her husband live on site and readily available. I did all my booking with Katie through text and she was very responsive and informative. She is super friendly and makes sure you have everything you may need. They have free ice too.
