About this campground
Escape to Long Point State Park, where a pristine peninsula embraces the shimmering waters of Chaumont Bay. This peaceful sanctuary invites you to pitch your tent on expansive grassy meadows that stretch toward the water's edge, offering unobstructed views and easy access to some of the region's finest boating and fishing opportunities. While the open landscape means fewer trees for shade, the constant lake breezes create a naturally refreshing environment that makes every moment outdoors a pleasure.
The campground primarily offers tent and RV camping options, with electric and non-electric sites. All sites are pet-friendly and provide water views due to the park's unique geographic layout.
Historical SignificanceStep into America's past with a visit to the nearby Sackets Harbor Battlefield State Historic Site, where echoes of the War of 1812 still resonate across the landscape. This proximity to such significant historical grounds adds a layer of cultural richness to your camping experience, allowing you to combine outdoor adventure with meaningful exploration of the region's pivotal role in shaping our nation's history.
Weather and SeasonsExperience the dynamic personality of the Great Lakes region through Long Point's ever-changing seasons. Summer transforms the park into a sun-drenched paradise where temperatures can soar into the 90s, though cooling lake breezes provide natural air conditioning for comfortable camping. As autumn arrives, witness spectacular color changes across the bay. Winter brings a dramatic transformation as temperatures plunge below 30°F and snow blankets the landscape, creating a serene wonderland for those brave enough to embrace the cold.
ElevationThe park rests on gently rolling terrain that gradually meets the water's edge, creating an accessible landscape perfect for campers of all abilities. This relatively flat topography ensures easy navigation throughout the grounds while still offering subtle vantage points for taking in the expansive lake views.
Natural Features and SceneryPrepare to be captivated by panoramic vistas of Chaumont Bay melding seamlessly with the vast expanse of Lake Ontario. The park's unique peninsula location creates a natural amphitheater of water views, where sunrise and sunset paint the sky in brilliant colors reflected across the bay. Perhaps most remarkably, the constant lake breezes that sweep across the peninsula create a naturally mosquito-free environment, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the outdoor experience without the usual buzzing interruptions.
Geological RegionLong Point State Park occupies a remarkable geological position on a slender peninsula that juts confidently into Chaumont Bay. Nearly encircled by the waters of Lake Ontario, this unique landform creates a microclimate where land and water converge in perfect harmony. The peninsula's formation tells a story millions of years in the making, shaped by glacial forces and the patient work of wind and waves. Today, this distinctive geography blesses visitors with cooling lake breezes from multiple directions and an extraordinary sense of being surrounded by nature's aquatic embrace.
