Black River Bay Campground

Great tucked away little campground right on the Black River with dock access. Many seasonal/year round residents, but a block of transient camper spaces with full hookups available, as well as very affordable tent/car camping at $10/person per night. We visited near the end of the season, as they close up October 15. The restrooms/laundry building is centrally located, and fairly rustic being that most residents there have full hookups- I could tell the showers hadn’t really been thoroughly cleaned recently, one was out of order, and the pressure was pretty low…but the water WAS hot and the seven minute shower sure felt like 10 minutes. ($1 per 7 minutes).
We were a group of 3 vans doing a fall colors tour and really enjoyed the convenient campground here. Hope we come back soon [to catch some amazing salmon and trout!!!]!

Aweful experience. Management was rude, always had an attitude like she didn’t wanna be there. Went into our tent and removed items because we didn’t leave at 8am that day of us leaving. Will never return again, they don’t even have swimming or clean bathrooms. If you want a costly night this would be your go to with very little amenities or even decent courtesy.

We LOVED it here! The camp hosts were amazing; extremely welcoming, nice and even scored us some fresh basil on the property!

The sites and grounds are very nice and clean; lots of trees in most sites. Bathrooms, shower and laundry available on the property. It’s right on Black River Bay.

Close by is a Dollar General which has a HUGE selection of pretty much anything you would need. The Dexter market is within 5 minutes and close to Watertown for larger stores.

Be sure to check out Dexter and Sackets Harbor for quaint town stores.

We will absolutely stay here again!

nice and quiet place near to shopping malls and Syracuse.

Love love love! The campground is located close to a lot of stores but once you hit the campground it actually feels like camping and not like you are in the city. We had a perfect tent site with a water spout, and was large and away from other people so we also had privacy! For $1.00 you can shower for 7 minutes in their restroom area. If you happen to forget anything like firewood, you can buy some at their little camp store. My family will absolutely be back!
