Amazing views
Hipcampers say this spot has amazing views.
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.

Site 2 - Leishman Point Park
Perfect Scenery/Pet Restroom
The scenery is some of the best. Location is perfect. However, locals are not conscious of campers. We had to remove at least five piles of dog droppings before even setting up camp. When we left for 45 minutes, there was a fresh pile in the middle of camp. Frustrating on the lack of care locals have with respect to pets and campers.

It was a great site. Not a lot of people around and a great view of the river.

Site 2 - Leishman Point Park
Great spot with amazing views!! Had the whole place to ourselves. It was very quiet and peaceful. A few local dog walkers and park visitors during the day, but nothing after dark. Everyone was very friendly and a few stopped by to ask about the camping. I directed them to the sign which has the town website info. Great place to sit and watch the world sail by. Only issue was that the identified showers at Island View park were locked. I look forward to camping here again in the future.

Beautiful place
Beautiful place! Quiet. It is a public area so gets some traffic but everyone is respectful. Host takes a while to communicate and there was a mix up with the site I reserved but everything worked out anyways. Maybe some porta potties closer or something could make things a little easier. Will probably stay again some time.
