Chaumont River RV Park &Campground
Overview
Overview
Chaumont River RV Park & Campground in Chaumont, New York offers a distinct waterfront camping experience along the winding waters of the Chaumont River. This Jefferson County destination places travelers directly within the scenic Thousand Islands region, providing a natural basecamp for anglers, boaters, and road-trippers navigating upstate New York. The property capitalizes on its riverfront setting, framing a quiet atmosphere where travelers can experience the rural character of northern New York.
Location & Surroundings
Positioned along the Chaumont River near the eastern end of Lake Ontario, the campground sits in a landscape defined by broad river channels, limestone shorelines, and sweeping northern skies. Travelers typically arrive via Route 12E, navigating flat to rolling agricultural lands dotted with dairy farms and small lakeside hamlets. The local climate brings warm, breezy summers ideal for outdoor stays, while autumn delivers notable foliage along the riverbanks before winter brings heavy lake-effect snows.
Amenities & Park Features
Because specific on-site infrastructure details are not publicly verified, visitors should contact management directly to confirm essential site configurations. Travelers should inquire about hookup types, including water, electric, and sewer availability, alongside site surface materials and pull-through accessibility. Questions regarding bathhouse access, dump stations, and river access points for small watercraft will help ensure the campground matches your specific rig requirements before arrival.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
The surrounding region provides endless aquatic and historical exploration. Anglers frequently target the Chaumont River and Chaumont Bay for bass, walleye, and northern pike. A short drive leads to Cape Vincent and Three Mile Bay, where ferries connect travelers to the broader St. Lawrence River network. Visitors can also explore nearby Wellesley Island State Park for hiking trails, or drive north toward Alexandria Bay to view historic castles and Thousand Islands boat tours.
Who This Park Is Best For
This destination suits anglers, kayakers, and boaters looking to spend time on the water in the eastern Lake Ontario basin. Road-trippers exploring the Seaway Trail will find it a convenient stopping point away from busier interstate corridors. It appeals primarily to self-contained campers and RVers seeking a quiet, river-adjacent environment that prioritizes local outdoor recreation over urban entertainment and resort-style attractions.

Dear Eric and Sara, I hope this note finds you well. My husband, Rick, and I recently had the pleasure of staying at Chaumont R.V. Camp and renting the Woodpecker Cabin from July 3rd through July 7th, 2025. I wanted to take a moment to express our gratitude for the exceptional experience we had during our stay. The park exceeded our expectations in every way. The facilities were immaculate, with the cleanest bathrooms I have ever seen at a public campground. The caretakers, including yourselves, and Carl and Paula were incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, providing us with valuable information about the property and its rules. Additionally, every camper we encountered was friendly and welcoming, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout our stay. Very much like a warm and inviting Community where everyone works together. The grounds were well-maintained, with neatly mowed grassy areas that made it easy for us to navigate the property. However, what truly set our experience apart was the exceptional hospitality we received from you both. Your warm welcome made us feel like part of the family, and we are already looking forward to returning in the future. Thank you once again for providing us with the best four days we have had in a long time. We will definitely be recommending Chaumont R.V. Camp to our friends and family. Sending much Love and Peace Your Way. Rick & Vinnie Goyer

We have our trailer here on a permanent site. The park is well kept, the managers Carl and Paula are friendly, on top of everything and always around. Only 12 miles from Clayton and all the events on the river. I have been in other parks but this is by far the best.

Service was exceptional!! We are traveling with 2 other DRV Mobile Suites and have made all our reservations to accommodate our large rigs. We had reservations at another local campground for a couple of days. When we arrived at this other place they were full and had “lost” our reservation even though they had cashed our checks. We called Marla at Chaumont River RV and she went out of her way to accommodate all 3 of us which isn’t always easy. Marla graciously met us at the campground and walked the open spots to ensure that we would fit! She went above and beyond our expectations and we are so grateful. If you are in the area do give Marla a call and stay!!
