Campsite is very clean and peaceful. Bugs are a minimum. Bathrooms are great- showers with nice and hot water. Down sides- lake front campsites are all on a slope- minimum flat space. Also- depending on day- EXTREMELY VERY WINDY AND COLD! But the view is beautiful.

Nice little state park by the St Lawrence river

This is a nice little state park with great views on the St Lawrence river. Try to find a campsite by the river. You can go swim or do SUP and whatnot. Lovely.

Beautiful, Quiet, and On-the-Grid!

Stayed here for two nights and really enjoyed the down time.

Paddling the St. Lawrence River was a highlight and it was also super convenient to be able to get work done via my hotspot right from our site (I have AT&T).

The facilities were also kept super clean and they sell ice, snacks, and ice cream on the property.

We did do a quick trip into Cape Vincent for supplies and a beer at Cape Vincent Brewing Company one evening, which was a treat!

Overall, I was impressed by how quiet it was and would definitely return!

Good overnight stop; bring a boat if you stay longer

This is a good stopping point, but there isn't much to do unless you bring a boat. Or you could use it as a base for exploring other areas in the Thousand Islands. It's only about 10 miles from Clayton.

We stayed here on a bicycle trip from Rochester to the Thousand Islands at the end of a 63 mile day. Don't let anyone tell you it's not a hilly trip coming up along Lake Ontario to the Thousand Islands! There will be hills! The good news is there are NY state parks along the way.

Burnham Point is a small (less than 50 sites) campground on the St. Lawrence River. It was a good stopping point after seeing the lighthouse in Cape Vincent on our way. There are sites by the river that are tent only but we pitched our tent up above. The tent sites were rather difficult to get to with our bikes. There wasn't much shade where we settled, but the sun was not intense as we arrived in the early evening and left the next morning. Unfortunately, I have no site photos and only have a photo of the sunset...but it's a beautiful view.

Restrooms/showers were clean, and there was electricity at the site. Unfortunately, the bugs were bad but that's just a summertime hazard in the Northeast.
