Natural Bridge / Watertown KOA Journey General Information

We have free WiFi at every site in the campground.

We have always taken requests but have never been able to guarantee sites... which many people would like.  So we have included a Select My Site fee of $20/reservation which guarantees the site you choose. We will still attempt to meet your request to be next to friends/family or in the sites you prefer, but if a site guarantee fee has not been paid you may be shifted to another site reservation to accommodate everyone. If you pay the fee you will not be moved from the site you request

We welcome guests who are traveling with their 4-legged friends. To ensure every guest has an enjoyable experience, thank you for following our Pet Rules:

• Aggressive pets of any breed will not be allowed in the campground. Any pet showing aggression or guarding behaviors must be removed from the property.
  
• Pets must be leashed at all times (no longer than 6'), except for designated off-leash area (such as KampK9).
  
• Pets must immediately be picked up after. Waste bags are provided in the office and in the KampK9 area.
  
• We do not allow pets in tents.
  
• Pets are not to be left alone, either outside or in the camper or accommodation.
  
• If owners are not able to control their pet's barking (day or night), they must remove the pet from the property.
  
• For health and safety reasons, pets are not allowed in buildings.
  
• Limit 2 dogs. For additional dogs please inquire at time of reservation. Additional charges may apply.

Entrance onto the campground property constitutes permission for the management of Natural Bridge KOA to photograph and video our guests and visitors while on the premises, and to use any resulting pictures for any lawful purpose without compensation to the individual or family.  If special circumstances demand a waiver of this policy for you or your family, please contact the office at 315-644-4098 before your stay and we will make the appropriate accommodations.

Help Us Protect Adirondack Trees. Moving firewood transports tree-killing insects. Please leave your firewood at home, and BUY IT WHERE YOU BURN IT. Firewood is available to purchase in the area. It is also sold for your convenience in the camp store with free site delivery. The forest will thank you!
To protect our natural resources, please follow state regulations:

• Do not bring firewood with you when you travel.
  
• Purchase locally what you need for your stay.
  
• Burn all firewood in your campsite fire rings.
  
• Leave any extra firewood for the next camper. Never transport firewood home.
  
• Spread the word with family & friends.

"Come to Explore, Stay to Relax! That's what we felt our very first visit to #TheBridge."

For James and Stacia, owning a campground was one of those BHAG (Big Hairy Audacious Goal) dreams for the distant future. As many of us have had to navigate the changes over the last few years, the timing for the Maddens to jump fully into the camping adventure became a now or never. James has always loved the great outdoors: skating, hiking, surfing, enjoying the peace and connection found in nature. He is a designer by trade and has a passion for rock guitar, so we just may experience some fun music events at the Kampground. Stacia grew up camping with her family, and the fun she had at the KOAs being some of her fondest memories. She is prior Navy and has a background in facilities, but her passion is good food, great friends, and feisty corgis. While protecting the peaceful and quiet reputation the park has earned over the past years, James & Stacia are also excited to find ways to bring value to everyone and create the best camper experience available.
