We have brought our camper here since 2015. Staff has always been friendly. One of our favorite places to go! We love the island atmosphere!

The Island was a very nice, relaxed feel. The staff very friendly. Store hours and pool hours was too short. Opening at 9am closing at 6:00 and 8:00. Restaurant was only a concession stand. No swimming on the lake although many still did without issue. Bath house was clean. A lot of bugs which is understandable being on island. I would like to see more activities for adults such as bands, paint and sips and games. A great place to just chill and enjoy lake views.

It's a nice place to go but over the years of going there, nothing has changed for the better other than there's a playground. The activities for the kids have diminished and the club house is a complete joke, instead of having fun things, they brought in couches and chairs and placed plastic tablecloth backdrops on the walls. My kids were very disappointed in the lack of fun in the clubhouse, and activities. And the cleanliness has definitely decreased in the last two years.

I already left a one star review, citing their ridiculous booking policies, allowing individuals to pick a specific site for a specific day so a long-term camper such as I was, can’t get a waterfront site when there are empty waterfront sites every day. I commented that they didn’t realize Pools require a self closing self latching gate and after informing two people that the gate was not to code I had to call code enforcement because while they don’t seem to have the concern about the safety of children I do. I complained about the blind mosquito infestation so bad that when you arrive, your asked not to turn on lights outside at night. Well, apparently where there are blind mosquitoes there are spiders so having left there three days ago my RV is infested with spiders. I’ve killed over 30 in the last two days. Just another plus for a resort on an island without a beach that for no reason prohibits drones That wouldn’t bring a heavy box to my site in their golf cart because of a “liability issue“ yet their pool gate wasn’t and on the Fourth of July weekend cadres of youngsters on electric bikes and other vehicles without any helmets or protective gear were exceeding the posted speed limit by three and four times. Again not a place I would go back to and I’m trying to warn everyone if you’re gonna go for a long period of time, they’re going to stick you by the marina in a spot called elite, which if you have a boat, it would be, but I don’t so essentially Io escape the heat of Florida drove five days to sit with a western exposure on my patio and it was blazingly hot every blanking day. I was so miserable. I left 10 days early with well over $1000 on the table just to get the hell out of there.

The grounds are very nicely maintained, and the roadway leading up to the camp grounds is quite stunning. Prices are average, however after signing up for emails we were able to book a stay with a 30% off discount code that was emailed to us-so signing up is of benefit. Exceptional staff at check in, very accommodating in extending our stay an additional night. A helpful guide is provided to bring you directly to your site, he also went over the site map with us and gave pointers as to where to walk with our dog. The views are outstanding, the bathroom and showers are clean-although we have an rv and don’t use them I like to check them out to add to reviews. In our first night we’d seen dozens of geese with their new offspring, an eagle, osprey and dozens of chipmunks and squirrels. While walking the ground we see they have a very nice playground area, tennis court, basketball court and restaurant type area with pizza, ice cream and milk shakes, I believe there’s also a bar. Spaces are generously spaced, with four rings and picnic tables. Overall, beautiful location, worth every penny.

What a great weekend we had on the island! From the minute we turned on the causeway to the minute we had to leave it was pure heaven! The ladies at the Registration desk were quick helpful and very welcoming. Perry directed us to our Site and brought his southern charm and hospitality as he welcomed us. The site was spectacular and Lake Ontario was as beautiful as the stars were at night. Perfect weather just right for a campfire. We will be back as soon as we can to the pristine 1000 Island region. Thank you Sun Association for a most memorable weekend. ❤️

We had such a lovely experience here in the spring…that we returned and were not disappointed. The views are fantastic, especially the sunsets. The campground is clean and well kept. The staff is so friendly and kind…it was like seeing old friends! Highly recommend staying here and experiencing it for yourself. We will return! ☀️

First time here this past weekend and it was by far one of the best campgrounds we’ve been to. Beautiful scenery, great customer service and very clean/well maintained park. We had a group of 15 of us and they were super accommodating and checked in on us constantly. We loved it so much we booked this coming weekend as well.

The good, the bad, the ugly: good-friendly staff, quick check in process, sites fairly level, quiet overall, activities for children, clean pool, new floors in laundry; the bad/ugly- dangerous metal at door near lobby bathrooms, needs a deep cleaning, tiny old playground covered in weeds and cobwebs, (state parks playground is better) dog park is basically two kennel cages,old patio furniture covered in cobwebs and dirt underneath, filthy old floors in bathrooms of asbestos linoleum in main lodge, or tile in other bathrooms, never told about activities for children when checking in, laundromat machine out of order for at least the week we were here, reservation agents will leave premium sites open for 7/8 days because 1 person has that site when they could of moved that person one site over(major loss of revenue- even if locked staff could call and speak to them tho don’t know if it was locked in) food and ice cream open on limited hours only 4 days a week, winery came for free wine tasting for guests but know one told any guest(you only knew if you drove/walked)by, major smell at entrance as you drive in either from dump tank or green gunk at lake edge which could be cleaned up; one young parking person repeatedly brought trailer and fifth wheels in wrong direction as he had no clue how that would be important to backing up a rig into a space
