River Lane Campground represents the newest addition to the area's sanitary dump station options, joining the existing paid services.

Access comes via Route 37 from the south or Route 68 from the west, with the Ogdensburg-Prescott International Bridge connecting to Highway 416 in Ontario. The flat terrain and wide roads make RV navigation relatively easy throughout the area.

Traveling to Ogdensburg by RV

Route 37 serves as the main north-south artery into Ogdensburg, connecting to Interstate 81 about 45 minutes south near Watertown. From the west, Route 68 provides direct access from Canton and Potsdam. The Ogdensburg-Prescott International Bridge handles border crossings, though RVers should expect potential delays during peak summer travel periods.

RV restrictions are minimal in this flat river valley terrain. The bridge to Canada has standard commercial vehicle height limits at 13'6", which accommodates most recreational vehicles without issue. Downtown streets can be narrow, but the dump station locations sit outside the historic core where maneuvering is easier.

Overnight parking options include the Walmart on Ford Street, though you should confirm current policies before settling in. The St. Lawrence Centre Mall parking lot has seen RV overnight use, but it's not officially sanctioned. Several rest areas along Route 37 south of town provide legal stopping points for required rest periods.
