This is a beautiful piece of land to spend time reading a book, playing with your dog, and sitting around a campfire. This site does sit right next to a road with some traffic, but nothing crazy. It has a beautiful gazebo, a fire pit and the owner supplied fire wood, which was a really nice touch. I highly recommend this site if you want simple and quiet.

My husband and I had the pleasure of being the first hip camp guests! What an amazing experience! We were so happy to visit this hidden gem! It is underdevelopment so it’s under a tad of construction. However this little gem is definitely one I would visit again. Joe was an amazing host and stayed up late for us after a small embarrassing navigation on my part(pfft truck driver getting lost lmbo) I would overall say the experience was amazing. I wouldn’t bring tiny humans… like I said still under development and the ponds… being a hover craft mom still for my adult children. But as a doggie mom my dogs loved it! Thanks again Joe!

Weekend Trip to Camp on the Organic Blueberry Pond!

We came up for the Columbus Day weekend to get one final go at filling the freezer with salmon for the year. The River did not disappoint as we had some of the best fishing in years. The camping spot was perfect for what we needed as well. Ample space to position and set up our pop-up camp. Bathroom and water were close by, as well was use of a pavilion and blackstone (though we did use them). Firewood and a ring were provided at our site. Drinking water was provided at the roadside store. Hosts were very accommodating, personable, and eager to show us around. Thanks again.

My family and I tent camped with our fearless corgi for a week here and it was an amazing experience. The site is set just off a quiet country road surrounded by corn fields with easy access to the lake and Pulaski. Most of the traffic we saw was horse drawn Amish buggies. We made great use of the gazebo and picnic table on location as well as the campfire pit. Toni provided trash pickup and some firewood for us throughout the week which was completely unexpected but an awesome little touch. We were able to observe plenty of wildlife while just sitting at the campfire to include deer, fox, birds and even a couple of coyotes (who were no match for the corgi who chase them off…lol). We highly recommend Toni and her Hipcamp spot. We will be booking again next year and probably bring a camper to take advantage of the full onsite hookup.

Burnham Point State Park camping guide

Overview

About

Burnham Point State Park is right on the St. Lawrence river and wonderfully peaceful. It’s ideal for boating, fishing, drinking a few, and grilling over a campfire. Peace and quiet is easy to find as the park’s quaint size lends itself to a more laid-back vibe. And while the park is best for lounging around or in the water, you’ll definitely want to voyage around to find several accessible islands, riverfront towns, and other adventure-friendly areas. Come here and file away a few river sunsets for the ol’ memory bank.
