We’re so glad we did!When I made the reservation, this campground was a KOA, but has since changed owners and dissociated. They’re owned by Sun Outdoors who was willing to honor the reservation, site request, and discounted pricing. (Thank you, Sun Outdoors!)The approach by way of a single lane bridge to the island is beautiful. Once on the island, it’s obvious that this is a great place for retreat. Surrounded by Lake Ontario, it’s a secluded and idyllic setting for a RV campground. Our site (#G07) was on the sunset-side of the island and the last of the row beside a walking trail. It was wooded, roomy, and has full hookups, a fire ring, and picnic table. I could probably have fit another RV in the site and still had space to stretch. The sites all seem to be well maintained, the campground has paved roadways, a marina for small boats, swimming pool, and ice cream shop. We didn’t explore off the island and didn’t use the bath or shower facilities.Each of our interactions with staff was warm and friendly. We especially appreciate this when staying anywhere. We met a bunch of people who’ve visited the park for several consecutive years - all of whom told us there have been many upgrades and improvements since the ownership change. Except for the 9-hour drive through three states, we can’t wait to return. We paid a KOA-discounted rate of $88 per night plus a $25 site lock fee. We stayed in our 37’ Class-A motorhome.

The bath houses are closed as there are no tent campers allowed at this time. All units must be self contained. The staff I did encounter were very friendly and helpful.The lake front site we have has a great view of Lake Ontario. We are able to go into the water right from our site. That being said, when the Sun goes down the bugs come out.

Beautiful sunsets over Lake Ontario. Just enough breeze to keep the bugs tolerable most of the time. Marina is easy to get in and out of. If you like to camp and boat this is the place for you. Very relaxing vacation. Cable and internet was spotty but not a big deal for the my crew.
