A strategic outpost since fur-trading days, Kingston lies at the juncture of Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River. Massive Fort Henry presides on a hilltop above the city, overlooking the lake and up the river toward the 1000 Islands. Costumed interpreters explain early 19th-century military life. Ten minutes from the campground, tour boats leave regularly to cruise the islands.

It's all within easy reach of 1000 Islands / Kingston KOA, where a sundeck and pool, 18-hole mini golf course and other attractions encourage lazy hours among its treed grounds - except when "Yee-Ha "wagon rides, ice cream socials, karaoke and other events take over, in season. This big-rig friendly KOA offers level pull thru sites and also some deluxe sites with a concrete deck, patio furniture and a wooden swing set. Your hosts: Lynn, Hans and Patrick Wagner.
