Best time to visit Robert Moses State Park
Late June through early September offers the warmest weather, full campground operations, and ideal conditions for swimming and boating on the St. Lawrence River. July and August are peak months with the busiest campground occupancy, so reservations are strongly recommended. Shoulder seasons in May, early June, and September bring cooler temperatures, fewer crowds, and excellent fishing, though some facilities may operate on reduced schedules. The campground typically closes in mid-October and reopens in mid-May.

Ellis and Michael were absolutely fantastic hosts to deal with from start to finish. The RV was in excellent condition, spotless upon arrival, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Michael went above and beyond by delivering the RV directly to our site, setting it up completely, and walking us through how everything worked. All the amenities functioned perfectly, and the space was exactly as described. Our family had an amazing time and created wonderful memories thanks to their care and attention. I would highly recommend this RV and these hosts to anyone looking for a stress-free and enjoyable getaway.
