Coming up for the fall madness early to mid Oct. have always tent camped at Selkirk Shores and love it but I recently bought a small 5th wheel trailer and was looking for a change of pace. I don't want to stay at a frat house zoo but don't want to be in a convent either. Any suggestions?
 

I have a 26' tow behind . Selkirk is usually my go to spot but the wife who don't fish wants something to keep her busy , likes TV and full hook ups . Just north across the rt 3 bridge is Brennan's Beach RV resort . In the summer it is crazy busy and somewhat tight camping. They have lake frontage right to the SR I believe. Full hook ups and lots of activities .
At or around mid sept - till close in second week oct it is pretty quiet and mostly fishermen.
A bit pricey but not a bad place to stay either

P.s.
We have stayed at the lake front sites but it gets real windy. Somewhere in u- z in woods on left is usually our area we like
 
P.S.S
the pic in my avtar is from their beach

Thanks for the advice/reply Tuna. How is Bears Sleepy Hollow? Saw it on the Oswego County site but when I went to the campground's site it  didn't give any info. Oh and by the way... wasn't it you on another post talking about eating little necks in Rhode Island? Well to rub your nose in it I'm from/in R.I. and have dug so many this summer I'm almost sick of them. That's payback for the fishing in you've your back yard!

Yea Eagle it was me.. Just got back from the yearly pilgrimage to Quonny bay .. It's not a bad trip and we dig the fresh dug eats.. See lots ppl fishing and flying the breachway but never catching.. Maybe local tips are in order..
 
Bears sleepy is just past selkirk towards mexico..
I stopped there over last weekend to check out a resident site.. They are smaller compared to selkirk or brennan's.. Looked fine (price in line with brennan's) but not what I was looking for (open/close) in my quest..
If I were to choose between the 2 for a weekend without a price regard as far as Selkirk Shores, it would be Brennans, unless you have a boat and want to fish Little SR out to Mexico bay
 

Thanks much Tuna. As far as local tips just like up north you got to get away from the easy access and crowds to find the fish with any kind of consistency. Most of the people you probably see are just killing time getting away from the wife and kids laying the beach( don't ask me how I know this!).

Maybe but there seemed some hard core boats hitting the bay and intent fly flingers with baskets hitting the strong tide rips . Still I seen not a rod bent in over 5 years from the walkers but heard the boaters saying a few fluke .
Honestly I have no real desire to catch ocean fish other then when they run up the mighty muddy hudson or dig in the mud for a few fresh salt water clams..
Sharks scare me . Lol

Tuna, you definitely are missing out on some fine striper fishing in RI.  Good water around Block Island with some big fish if you happen to hit it right.

No doubt. Great fish indeed Gerry but a charter is usually not in the cards while I'm out there.. Got the wife to yak the bay which is pretty good in size so any fishing would mostly be bottom feeders for me or let her yak while I play in the raft and dig .. Again , I'm scared of SHARKS .. Those boats just ain't big enough ..lol
 

       Misquamicut (sp) beaches at dawn, before the sun worshipers arrive, and be ready to run cause sometimes they zip down them fast- birds tell the story.
 Kinda like a popper myself but many use a silver flashy spoon.
       Occasional Shark right where the waves break a few feet from shore very early on  some mornings- if the swimmers only knew  lol.
 Never had much breachway channel luck either-even on the outside meeting the salt- but inside the breaches on any bend during the outgoing tides can be pretty good, they set up waiting for stuff to wash outa the ponds.
    One guys way----
 Always observed the majority of those boat guys off shore a hundred or two yards were fluke guys- they drift a favored area and run up and drift it again all day long. Blue and Striper boats seen from shore are  commonly chasing birds  working over the bait pods being pushed up by the bigger fishes.
 Did that stuff for years further into the sound when I had my boat- dumped the boat and got my place in SR country- gotta try it all - only live once.

Not a lot of sites, but very close to the  mid and upper river and a little less nuts than some others.  I fished the South County in May and Oct for a string of
years and chased albies and baby BFT's  with a friends boat. Keep thinking of going back....
I always caught fish, some very memorable.  Fishing the end of Quonny at sunset on a huge  incoming ,  taking turns  with 6 other jetty rats may be the most dangerous fishing I've ever done.  My wife was waving for me to get the heck out of there. Guys were showing me scars from going down on the rocks.  The SR ain't the only place people swear by Korkers....   One dawn I caught some nice 5 lb. eater blues and kept a few. I put them on a rope down between the rocks. F'in  real rats chewed them up!    Live and learn.  I must admit, I never did that  well unless it was low light or grey and spitting.  Hope you have a great trip war eagle. I'll be tenting it at Selkirk around that time, after taking a run over to the coast.
