McLear’s Cottage Colony Campground — A Special Waterfront Gem on Black Lake.
Nestled on nearly 9 acres with 1,261 feet of level waterfront at the widest and most scenic part of Black Lake, McLear’s Cottage Colony Campground is a favorite seasonal destination with over 50 years of history. This unique Outdoor Hospitality property offers abundant recreation, waterfront beauty, and expansion potential like no other.
Property Features:
13 fully-equipped lakefront & lakeside cottages.
4 cozy camping cabins.
15 waterfront full-hookup RV sites.
6 spacious pull-through sites.
50 dock slips.
The only dockside fuel station on Black Lake — a key revenue booster.
The popular Fish Bone Café, with a full commercial kitchen and lakeview patio.
From humble beginnings as the McLear homestead "Broadview Farms", this site evolved into a family fishing retreat and now a thriving hospitality business. Guests return year after year for their favorite cottage to relax and enjoy the Lake; the unbeatable fishing, recreational boating, and breathtaking views of the largest lake in St Lawrence County.
Prime Location & Endless Potential:
With room to grow, McLear’s is primed for its next chapter—whether it’s lakeside glamping, boutique cabin expansions, a larger RV park, or transforming it into a private family compound.
All this, with close proximity to local wineries, restaurants, golf courses, museums, and parks. Just 20 minutes from Alexandria Bay and the St. Lawrence Seaway, and within easy reach of Ottawa, Montreal, and the Adirondack Mountains — making this a strategic destination for regional tourism.
Whether you've dreamed of owning your own Campground, a lakeside development opportunity, or a legacy property for your family, McLear’s Cottage Colony Campground offers it all — and more.
