Report Check-InPlenty of room at this spot, although we were the only ones that stayed the night when we were there. There's a small forested area and view over the river next to the parking area so it's quite a pleasant spot to be. Some from the road but it's mostly car traffic, so it's not too loud.
Report Check-InAmazing place to stay! We felt comforted to see that many other vans were parked when we arrived. It was very quiet overnight. There were quite a few cars coming-and-going in the morning, as people were visiting the lookout.
Report Check-InWe went twice in August and enjoyed both weekends however the second weekend we found there were a lot of people sleeping in cars with no access to a bathroom, and used the trails for bathrooms, except they forgot to bring bags with them to clean up after. You can walk down a path to get to the water where you can go in for a nice dip. I do not think there is any limit for numbers of days you can camp here, seems most stay only one night.
Report Check-InNice spot by the river, easy to find! Arrived around 6:30pm and there was already a van parked there. Seems to be a prime spot for travellers to stop for the night. Occasional traffic passing by the thousand islands parkway, but it’s fine really.
Thanks for sharing the spot!
Small calm parking near to the river, you could swim in the river from a little beach with rocks.
Report Check-InPerfect spot , by the st-Laurence river . No services but the best view . 10 min. From the 1000 island cruise ships .
Report Check-Inbel endroit, près de l'eau. un peu de va et vient en soirée mais tranquille la nuit.
Report Check-InSuper endroit pour la nuit. Juste à côté de la route 2. Idéal pour marche ou vélo juste de l’autre côté de la route.
Report Check-InNice rest area off the Thousand Island Parkway. A few cars pulling in and pot through evening and morning but overall quiet enough. Nice views of River and access to water.
Report Check-InNice spot at the lake. A lot of space and just a few cars at night on the street nearby. Be aware of the mosquitoes.
Report Check-InNice place to sleep. A lot of room. Close of the road but not to much loud. I recommend
Report Check-InFantastic spot! Very fortunate that we are still able to boondock there - lets be kind to the neighbourhood.
Report Check-InReally quiet, nobody disturbed us, woke up at 8h30. By the water. Mosquitos were not that bad.
Report Check-InNo amenities but really nice and quiet location not far from Gananoque where all the carparks are paid in July and August.
Report Check-InWe stay there for the night.
Very quiet.
Beautiful view.
There is some trash here and there thought.
No toilet, no bin, no water but plenty of space to park the car and beautiful views of the islands ! Ok for a night
Report Check-Inbeautiful spot!!!!plenty of space. spent two nights with our 31' no problem at all, stunning sunset
Report Check-InSweet spot! Stopped on my way back to Montreal, not too far from 401 and super quiet. Got there at 1am, one car and another van was parked. Beautiful view on the water in the morning! Thanks iOverlander! :)
Report Check-InExactly as described. A few meters from the river for swimming and fishing. Lots of space and easy to get to, it's right off the parkway and close to the 401.
Report Check-InExactly as described! A great spot just a few steps from the water with gorgeous views! Close to everything and right in thousand islands parkway
Report Check-InBeaucoup de place pour stationner.
Tranquille.
Belle baie chaude et peu profonde pour la baignade.
Malheureusement des gens laisse des déchets par terre.

Report Check-InNice pull out on the side of the road. Very quiet after dark. Spent one night there it's across from a future national park. It was very busy in the morning
