Fort Drum camping provides water sports enthusiasts with choices in the North Country.
Perched on the banks of the Black River in the far northern reaches of Upstate New York, Fort Drum camping is ideal for those who love the water. The nearby Thousand Islands region along Lake Ontario and the Canadian border is well known for its woodlands, islands, and renowned boating and fishing, while the long sandy beach of Southwick Beach State Park is perfect for summer fun with 100 tent and RV campsites with picnic tables, potable water, and shower access. Adjacent to the Lakeview Wildlife Management Area, the state park features nature trails and coastal sand dunes. Within the town limits, the Black River Trail makes it easy to explore this gateway to the North Country on foot. Just remember to pack your snowshoes if you plan to follow the trail during the winter months!
