June 27 The best Camping experience ever!!! by Tim Powers
park review stars; one to five From the moment we pulled our RV into this campgrounds, we were amzed and suprised how nice it was. Sarah at the check in booth was wonderful and friendly. The grounds were immaculate and the views were amazing from my site. The park is small and has an awesome dock you can walk out on. There is a playground but we did not see many kids. This park seems to be more suited for older families. It is small and just spectacular. I have found my new spot to be on the St Lawrence! Thank you Sarah for all of your help and for making this trip an amazing one!
August 10 I love this park!! by jimmystermite
park review stars; one to five Burnham Point is a small park, but the staff is friendly and the views are beautiful... Park does have a small playground for kids, but I think is better suited towards adults and older kids who like just relax and fish...
