Native people also camped,hunted and trapped here in the early 1800s.Learn more about this land:Relax in a secluded meadow, wander through old Hemlock forest trails and watch many varieties of birds and other wildlife on 60 acres of wetland preserve.

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.

Quaint, private campsite on babbling Adirondack brook for singles or couples only at our 180 yr old farm. Though we love children and critters, we created our campsite as a quiet private refuge for adults, couples or singles, no pets please. We can accommodate a tent, campervan or small tow behind camper ( less than 16 feet). Your private access off a two lane state road goes 200 feet through a mown meadow, down a short graveled incline to the edge of a lovely babbling brook. There are two gravel pads to choose from or set your tent up on the grass. There is "limited" 20 amp electrical power available, you can plug in your rig but it won't support all your 30 amp RV demands. There is an open air shower house with hot water, an outdoor kitchen with a sink and small refrigerator. The water in the sink/shower and hose bib is filtered brook water and NOT POTABLE !! We will supply a 5 gallon dispenser of drinking water for your use. When nature calls there is a very nice, very clean outhouse, complete with curtains. There is dry split campfire wood in the woodshed available for sale by adding cash to a lock box. It is a honest/honor system. There is a small deck with two vintage chairs overlooking a small waist deep plunge pool that is a great way to cool off on a hot day. There are also a couple of shady spots for a nap in your hammock. Our 15 acre homestead dates back to 1840. We live in the restored original post and beam Cape that is flanked by vintage barns and outbuildings. We are recently retired and have a small organic farm and woodworking shop. Our property is conveniently accessed by a two lane state road that goes through Saranac Lake (10 mi) on the way to Lake Placid(18 mi). The numerous local mountains, lakes and rivers provide limitless opportunities for outdoor recreation. Excellent bike routes can be accessed right from your campsite or you can drive to the new Adk Rail Trail or local Mtn bike areas. We live and work here, 500 ft from the site. We are, therefore, available to help with logistical issues and more importantly can recommend anything from backcountry rambles to fine dining and of course the best local brewpubs, one is 3 miles away. We can just as easily disappear... Please ask any questions you might have...

Scenic Black Lake stands out as a unique natural wonder, having been shaped by the same glacier that formed the Great Lakes. This stunning lake is renowned as one of New York State's premier fishing destinations, attracting anglers from far and wide. Spanning nearly 11,000 acres, Black Lake stretches over 20 miles in length and reaches up to 4 miles in width at its broadest point. The lake's landscape is characterized by striking rock formations, sandy bars, and underwater shoals, creating an environment reminiscent of the rugged beauty found in northern Canada. Majestic rocky islands dot the waters, providing a picturesque backdrop for outdoor enthusiasts. The Indian River and Fish Creek serve as the primary sources of water for Black Lake, which flows northward for over 20 miles before joining the Oswegatchie River. This river then cascades over the Eel Weir Dam, eventually merging with the St. Lawrence River at Ogdensburg. Visitors to Black Lake can enjoy mild weather, with pleasant days that rarely become too hot, and cool evenings perfect for relaxation.

Such a great find! This campsite was really awesome and you get so much for the price. We stayed in an RV site and had plenty of tree buffer between us and the next site. The bathrooms were nearby and this direct access to miles of beautiful hiking trail right at the site. We also had a lot of fun at their beach and rec center. We are definitely interested in coming back.

From rear of pad. Power and water to the left rear corner. Behind me is a path down to the “White Trail” which loops the lake. And you can see the lake.

Weekend Trip to Mountaineer Campground @Massawepie

Massawepie holds a special place in our scouting family. Kids attended and worked there, adults attended as leaders. The hip camp portion is on the old scout camp known as Camp Mountaineer. The Rv sites are basic with 30amp power and water. The waterfront is basic but functional. There are shower houses and a recreation building with games and hang out area. They have only been renting “Family Camp/Camp Mountianeer” for a few years. Every year we return for a few nights to drop off or pickup a scout at a camp Pioneer down the lake. Every year the facilities and offerings are better. The only issue we have is the dump station is poorly designed and difficult to dump at because of its location at the top of a small rise in the parking lot. It is impossible to have the trailer level at the dump station. The sewer inlet is also recessed in a box that makes it so you have to continuously lift the sewer hose to get the black and gray tanks flow over the edge of the box.

This is a great campground on a beautiful lake in walking distance of rare, huge bog. There is lots of scout activity across the lake so don’t be surprised by yelling and cheering, especially in the evenings. There are also day campers who use the area. The hot showers are a nice touch.

Lots of room in this site and there was a ton of gravel that kept the site from turning into a swamp when it rains. There was a power failure from the 30 amp electric hook-up. The camp hosts were very responsive and contacted the park ranger and he quickly fixed the problem and the power was back on. One of the nice features of the RV sites each site has a trail that leads into the white trail. The family camp office also had a full inside shower and flush toilet.
