Waddington's Leishman Point

4 sites · RVs, Tents25 acres · Waddington, NY

Leishman point is owned by the Town of Waddington and was created during the construction of the St. Lawrence Seaway. Dredge spoils were transported and placed creating a tract of land that rises 50 feet above the river and surrounding lands. The New York Power Authority acquired the property from the Leishman's who owned and operated a farm on the surrounding lands. In 2000, the New York Power Authority deemed the property surplus and conveyed it to the Town of Waddington. This Hip-Camp endeavor is hopefully our first step in creating a fully functional RV Park and campsite for everyone to enjoy. Visit the Town of Waddington Museum at the Old Town Hall for more information on the construction of the the St. Lawrence Seaway and how it transformed Waddington. Learn more about this land: Park your RV or camper trailer or pitch your tent on top of Leishman Point in Waddington, New York and enjoy the unobstructed views of, and unlimited access to the majestic St. Lawrence River. The Waddington public beach is adjacent to the campsite with swimming, playground, and pavilion for all to enjoy. Bring your boat and safely moor it at the public docks at the beach. Watch the Great Lake freighters and recreational boats ply the waters of the St. Lawrence River whiling fishing, swimming, sun bathing, or just relaxing by the River.

Forest & Farm Retreats at Wildwood Hills

3 sites · Tents100 acres · Colton, NY

Here you will be on over 100 acres of private land with hiking trails which meander through beautiful forests full of wildlife, ferns and rare flowers. Natural sights our wonderful land here offers include tumbling streams, sheer rock ledges, beaver ponds with wild ducks, and in the farther back “bear country” you might be lucky enough to get a peek of the resident flying squirrels! You can hike the hills and rocky ridges of the Cobbles and see the Adirondack foothills, a brilliant sunset or sunrise for the earlybirds. You can take our hiking trails to 1000s acres Public Land that borders our property and follow the trails there to Stone Valley and the Raquette River in Colton. This makes for miles of trails! The Raquette River Blue Corridor is known for hiking trails that follow the river and white-water kayaking at Stone Valley. We work a small organic farm at the front of our land where we grow vegetables and herbs, raise pigs and lots of birds. You can view the field of our young orchard and vineyard with its wildflowers and butterflies as you park and head back into the woods. Many times our twin horses will be pastured in this field as well. Stop by the farmstand for our current seasonal offerings and to check out its gorgeous timber-frame construction lovingly hand-crafted by Derrick from timbers sawn and cut from our forests and pegged together with antique carved oak pegs. If you are interested in learning more on a tour of our sawmill, gardens, animals, and other farm operations, we encourage you to contact us to schedule one during your stay. We offer the services of our canoes for 1-4 people, message us if you would like us to paddle with you out on the nearby river or some very special bog ponds. Derrick has led offroad bike rides on little known trails in the area and welcomes inquiries from any dual-sport/dirtbike riders, singly or groups. We love to teach folks a little of what we have learned on the farm, in the woods and in our studies, but first we need to arrange for the free time, so let us know if interested in hearing about building portable pig huts with living roofs, timber framing the old way, forestry and woodcraft, our menagerie, and other efforts to make the dream of sustainable living a reality. Colton, NY has townwide treatments for Blackflies. It is a natural biocontrol method that uses another organism (BTi) to kill only Blackfly larvae in waterways. It really works! We only ever get a few (literally) Blackflies between routine treatments if it is a bad season. During your stay here you will not have the usual clouds of Blackflies hovering around your head! But you will still see amazing numbers of dragonflies! At WildWood Hills Farm and Retreats, we are diversity inclusive and strive to ensure a safe and pleasant environment for all. We respect all our guests and expect them to respect each other, us and the Land in kind. Go in Nature! ~ E & D

The best camping near Kring Point State Park guide

Overview

About

If you stand anywhere in this park, you'll see water. Half of the campsites are directly on the waterfront, either Goose Bay or the St. Lawrence River. You may be in New York, but across the river sits Canada (eh).

Bring a boat to explore the 1700 islands in the immediate area. Some of the islands are parks unto themselves. If you're lucky, you might see wildlife sipping some water in the bay or the river.

The swimming beach is perfect for hot summer days. If you want to stay dry, there's a volleyball court and a picnic area. This relatively small peninsula means you're never very far away from your campsite.

Campgrounds stay open from April to October. Pitch a tent to feel close to nature and hear the water. Virtually every spot has a view of the water. Go glamping during the winter in the rental cabins. Visitors can cross country ski when there's snow.

My boyhood favorite! It's a peninsula jutting out into the St. Lawrence River. Sit on the rocks around the fire as the sun goes down in blazing glory over the river. The river is also an International waterway featuring freight bearing ships traveling from ports within the Great Lakes to destinations throughout the globe.
