kring point state park

So, I would love to give this park a 5. The setting is beautiful. The staff at the entrance were very friendly and helpful. The people who own the store were wonderful to me. I got there just as they were closing. Because I had no other food for that evening they stayed open for me. I stayed in one of the cabins...#8 with a friend. It was more roomy than I had expected which was nice. All the amenities. Indoor plumbing, kitchen. Sadly it was filthy! I was so glad I had taken a fitted sheet for the futon. It was so gross with stains I don't even want to think about. I also slept on the futon. I have never...and I travel a lot...slept on anything so hard and uncomfortable. It was horrible. Take an air mattress if you are also expecting to need this as a sleeping spot. The biggest let down I have to say was the little flying bugs that came through the screens and filled the cabin at night being drawn by the lights. They didn't bite...they just swarmed. I am not one to exaggerate...there were thousands. It was hot, so to keep the windows closed would have been even more miserable. It was late in the season so bug spray was not really high on my list. We had booked for two nights...I would not have stayed one more. When we told the staff on the way out they were not very sympathetic. Only said there had been other complaints. There was no offer of a partial refund. So if you go take bug spray. And your cleaning supplies. And your air mattress.

We had stayed at this park a couple of years ago and noticed the prime waterfront sites. We managed to book site 63 which has a wonderful view of the river. The weather turned out terrible which can't be blamed on anyone but for our first time ever we left part way through a trip. The weather was one factor but as others have said the actions of loud inebriated neighbors lessens the fun. The final straw was the state of the washroom facilities nearest out site. The floors and walls were filthy and did not appear to have been thoroughly cleaned all summer. We have stayed at other nearby State Parks and never encountered such a mess. Until it gets cleaned up we will not be back.

This campground has the potential to be one of the best in the area! We were at site 61 (photos included) and we literally faced the River and could walk ten feet to get into the water. That being said, we had the WORST neighbours. There appeared to be 2-4 families in the camp-spot next to us who were so ignorant and kept us up (them and their children) the two nights we were there. What was supposed to be a relaxing weekend ended up being more of an annoyance. I think the park needs to do more rounds at night to keep people quiet (especially when we get to 10 PM at night) to avoid other disturbances.The second disappointing thing we encountered were the washrooms closest to our campsite. They were very poorly maintained - one of the three women's washroom stalls did not close properly, and one of the other toilets wasn't bolted into the floor properly. The overall state of these particular washrooms was gross for a State park. I never used the showers at this facility and instead we drove to the main washroom/shower facility closer to the park entrance which was much better maintained.They did recycling and garbage pick-up twice daily which was awesome! We never made it to the beach, but it looked kind of sad. Maybe for families with smaller children it wouldn't be too bad but I personally preferred to hop into the river (seemed cleaner!) The campsites that face Goose Bay were less nice than those facing the St Lawrence - the water looked murkier and I personally would not have gone swimming there.I'd say if you have a boat, this place is awesome. If you're looking for some tranquility (i.e. if you have no kids and don't want to be bothered by any) this may not be the best spot for camping, which is truly unfortunate considering how beautiful the place is. It is very family friendly...

To start I am a single mom, new at "roughing it" and trying to ease into it. I have 2 boys 9 and almost 1 and my niece 11 with me. I chose a fully equip cabin, #8, as I wanted to have the comforts of home with the baby and with the fact none of us are familiar with camping. I did not think it would be like a hotel but from the time we got the key, I wanted to go home. I had camped here when I was younger and loved it. The cabin does not have access to the water but would possibly have adult fishing from a ledge. I can barley see the water due to the 50 or so trees blocking my view! The bath was filthy, mold on the ceiling, toilet had unmentionables and urine all over, sink was covered in toothpaste. Kitchen cupboards were warped but nice on the outside, 2 burners were crooked and could not hold pans, I brought my own coffee pot and toaster, microwave was clean! Futon in living room was ok, floor was ok...needed a good moping, table needed wiping along with everything else. The beds were nice and thick but needed to be cleaned, they had hair and spots on them, my kids were grossed out. The second day was worse, there were so many spider webs lol I need to fumigate. My son will not sleep in the bunk as there were webs and 2 eight-legged creatures up there. My 1 year old was chasing ants around the floor. We finally decided to just come home. We plan to go back up as they do not offer a refund, but we are dreading it. Oh and the park had massive webs on the slides...we hate spiders lol

We stayed at this park and what makes it great is the fact almost every site is right on the water. The staff is friendly and washrooms clean. It is only minutes from Alexandria Bay. We will be back.

We stayed one night with our 8 and 5 year old boys. The park is small and is great for kids. My boys had fun. We WILL go back again. Swimming and fishing was great for them. The staff was friendly and the campground was clean.

small state park, but pretty. Campsites are nice, just be careful which one you get. Many have massive granite surfaces throughout park. Beach is small, hiking trails are limited. About 20 minutes from Alexandria Bay. Wellesley Island State Park bigger, better campsite options, and better hiking trails & things to do.

What a beautiful state park! We rented a two 4 person cabins each with 2 rooms, a sleeping area with 2 bunkbeds and a main area to hang out with a table and chairs, heater and a fridge. We had to bring our own cookstove. What makes this place so beautiful is that it is completely surrounded on 3 sides by the St. Lawrence Seaway. Our first morning fishing (we went as a group of old fishing buddies but it would certainly work for a couple or small family) we witnessed an eagle swoop down and grab a fish that my friend was reeling in. Quite a sight! We went in September and the weather was 70's during the day and 50's at night (just right for a campfire) and we were right on the shore. Swimming was available but September is a little cool for me. Anyway it was a very relaxing time by itself or you can try some of the activities (like a boat ride to Boldt Castle which sits in the middle of the St. Lawrence River) in Alexandria Bay (or golfing at one of the picturesque golf courses. Great way to spend a week of vacation.
