CAMPSITES ARE OFFICIALLY OPEN! SEE YOU SOON!
Campsites Available for Rent at Leishman Point in Waddington
The Town of Waddington has new camping sites at Leishman Point which are now available for rent. Four sites have been developed by the town and each is furnished with a fire pit and picnic table. Park your RV or camper trailer or pitch your tent on top of Leishman Point and enjoy the unobstructed views of the majestic St. Lawrence River.
The Waddington public beach is adjacent to the campsite with swimming, playground, basketball net and pavilion for all to enjoy. Bring your boat and safely moor it at the public docks at the beach. Watch the Great Lake freighters and recreational boats navigate the waters of the St.
Lawrence River while fishing, swimming, sunbathing, or just relaxing by the river. Pets are welcome and a perimeter walking trail provides a place to exercise and access to the shoreline.
While these sites are “carry in / carry out” and do not currently provide electricity, internet, water, or sewer hook ups, portable generators are welcome. Renters do have access to the bath house and bathrooms / potable water at the adjacent Waddington Beach. Showers are also available for camper’s use at Island View Park in the village of Waddington located just three miles from Leishman Point.
All reservations for these sites are being handled through the “hipcamp.com” website at:
