The Kingston KOA is great. Just off exit 611. The owners have really done wonders cleaning it up and enhancing it over the past 4 years.

We had a great time there this past weekend.

They also have KK Kabins if you don't feel like tenting it.

The Ivy Lea Camp Site is a nice place (on the St. Lawrence at the bridge to USA between Brockville and Rockport). There is even excellent diving off the beach.

If you have a boat, the municipal campground in Kingston is a good choice, but it's not the prettyest place... The fact that they have a boat ramp is convinient, and you have quick access to the KPH wreck... The showers and washrooms are OK, and ifn you are not in the week of the dog contest, the place is usually quiet.

yeah I second Ivy Lea. it has one of the best wall drift dives around.
I'd buy a campsite just to go diving there only. (well you pretty much have to anyway).

Anyone have any suggestions for amusing a nondiving significant other and a 2 year old whilst camping/ diving in the same areas ? Can anyone suggest a kid friendly campsite (ie playground or sandpits) is probably what I really mean.
