My favorite place to camp in New York State when I need to connect with nature & disconnect from life's distractions. The St. Lawrence is chilly (65-70 degrees in July) but after hot, muggy days hiking, fishing or boating, it will cool you to the core. So many places to swim in the shallow coves, some rocky and some sandy (always wear swim shoes & bring floaties). Campsites have a fire pit & picnic table. There is garbage pick up throughout the day (critters are pretty bold here, so keep your site neat or burn food trash). There's a little camp store just off premises with basics (and good ice cream). Potable water is available at a few pumps on site. Clean restrooms & showers too (though there is often a short wait at certain times of the day) and a small laundry facility (bring quarters & detergent). We tent, but you can rent cabins right on Goose Bay. Some sites are right on the water, some more centralized. My suggestion is that whichever you choose, go for "trees." Temperatures fluctuate and afternoons can get very hot. You are pretty much guaranteed rain or thunderstorm at least once during a week's stay, sometimes fleeting, sometimes drenching. Be prepared with appropriate clothing, a deck of cards and snacks for those days - or go into Alex Bay to shop or play. But don't let weather keep you from experiencing Kring. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 just because when we arrived, another camper had set up an extra large tent that occupied a significant portion of our site. It was a bit of a hassle to resolve the issue since Kring gave the ok to this camper to set up without our knowledge. But it was resolved and did not impact our trip after our initial check in. I also think there should be more water pumps. The one near our site has been out of order for the past 2 years. But water is available elsewhere on the premises, not more than a short walk away. This will not deter us from planning our next Kring trip, maybe 2 weeks this time read more
