Wellesley Island is 7 miles long and 5 miles wide so - how do you review a whole island? Unless you plan on staying at one of the campgrounds I don't think there are any other accommodations. The park campgrounds are exceptional. I have stayed at the main Wellesley Island Park campground and also at the Wolf Point campground when the other was full. The main campground has all camping amenities (beach, childrens playground, nature center, sites with water and electric hookups, etc.); the Wolf Point does not have any hookups and no beach but it does have dockage for boats and usually a much quieter place for adults. There is a Wellesley Hotel at the western most tip of the island in a quaint little residential enclave I believe is called Farview. We were there midweek after Labor Day so the hotel was not open. There is also a golf course on the island that is open to the public. On the same grounds there is a restaurant called the Thousand Islands Club and a bar and grill in the golf course building. They both looked interesting but were not open when we were there.

loved the drive around the island. Fairview was the most peaceful and beautiful place. check out the backdoor bakery

I consider myself a seasoned camper with 30+yrs tenting/trailers/cottages. You will LOVE Wellesley Island. It is a State Park that is one of the best! The campsites are well maintained, the cottage locations are breathtaking! I highly recommend camping in the Scenic Thousand Islands!!!

On a recent weekend stay at one of the EEL BAY cottages, we were quite disappointed to see two mouse traps greeting us as we walked through the front door – each trap baited and waiting for their next victim. After having camped at the EEL BAY cottages over the past 6 years and having stayed in every single cottage at one time or another, we have never encountered a rodent problem except during the last two stays. Previously, during a one week stay, we heard what sounded like an army of mice in the bedroom walls – inches from my head. On a more recent stay, it appeared that the problem has now gotten out of hand. The people who clean the cottages informed us that a massive amount of complaints were received this past summer concerning mice in the cottages. Think mice droppings on the food, kitchen counters, beds, furniture, you get the picture. Our experience, was a dead mouse in one of the traps every single morning – great way to start the day. You would think that with all of the complaining, park management would be taking this very seriously and hiring a professional exterminator to fix the problem. No not really,…park management’s response has been to basically do nothing and even downplay that there is a problem. I asked the cottage cleaners if they could recommend a mouse free cottage – they could not reply to my query… If you talk to anyone in the park office it soon becomes clear that the mice infestation is not even on the radar.If you plan on using these cottages be warned that mice do carry a variety of diseases such as: Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome, Hemorrhagic Fever, Lassa Fever, Leptospirosis, Lymphocytic Chorio-meningitis (LCM), Omsk Hemorrhagic Fever, Plague, Rat-Bite Fever, Salmonellosis, Tularemia. These diseases are spread through mouse droppings or bites. Source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) **Anyone with small children should be very concerned.If you plan of going despite this warning, I would recommend bringing mouse traps, at least four and do not leave any food out anywhere as mice can climb walls and table legs easily. Oh, and by the way, they can climb unto beds as well – we saw mouse droppings on one of the single beds where children usually sleep. Sweet Dreams…As for us, we have cancelled a planned stay during the Christmas holidays. I hope a solution is found soon, as like many others, we enjoy camping at Wellesley Island State Park and we look forward to returning soon.

We got to visit this island a little bit when we were touring Boldt Castle Yatch House and Heart Island. We walked around a little bit and drove through some of the Island, Theres a park on the Island , Golf "course, homes and some restaurants...at least some signs for some. We couldnt see a lot but it seems worth going back for another trip to visit the Island. Nice photo opps. and easy to get around.

Best state campground in NY. Lots of trails, breath taking views of St Lawrence. Recreation Hall outdated but at least they have something for the kids to do. Small beach, easy access to boat launch. The best part for me was the sites. They are spaced out nicely. U don't feel overcrowded. Parents make sure to bring bikes for the kids. Lots of space for kids to roam.

A river-view site is the best possible vantage point at this campground. Because it is so popular, there are just too many sites too close together. Facilities are usually clean and well maintained. Park personnel are helpful. Nose can be an issue at night, inasmuch as there is no enforcement of the quiet hours. And if you have camped a bit, you know that there are some people who just don't get it. The swimming area is clean, with alert and kind staff. Wood and ice are available at "Woody's" on the way to the Wellesley Island gate.

It has been a couple of years since my wife and I toured Wellesley Island. On the west end of the Island is the "Thousand Island Park". The park dates back to the late 1800's and is an exquisite collection of some stunning old homes in fantastic shape. The park is seasonal and many families have been spending summers there for decades. It is kept in very good shape and a quiet and peaceful place to relax. There is century old Hotel & Restaurant in the park where diners sit on the verandah to eat. We haven't tried the hotel as yet but it is certainly on our "to do" list.

The state park is very nice. There is a cute little beach with a lifeguard on duty. I recommend a drive through the Thousand Island Park to see the beautiful old homes.

We started our trip to Wellesley Island by visiting the nature center and looking at the various displays of animals, birds, and fish. From there we hiked along the trail that travels along the banks of the St. Lawrence River to the lookout point. There were lots of photo worthy spots and very scenic views. The hike is worth the effort, and I would recommend hiking shoes if you are going to hike the trail to the end. After returning to the nature center, we drove to the other end of the island where the victorian homes are. The homes are very pretty and worth the drive to see them. There is also a quaint, clean park in the village with a boat dock with benches where you can sit and can just relax and watch the river flow by.
