Dowie Dale Campground-Marina

Dowie Dale Campground-Marina is a family-owned campground on the Lake Ontario shore in Mexico, Oswego County. It was established in 1954, and it pairs a large campground with a boat marina, so campers who fish or cruise can keep the boat close to the tent or trailer.

There are 250 sites, along with a playground area and a swimming beach on the lake. That mix makes it a natural fit for families who want a full summer weekend at the water, from morning on the beach to an evening on the boat.
