Hello, I am looking for a camping in the 1000 island area suitable for fishing from the shore with kids…
Also another option is to rent a pontoon boat.
Thanks in advance!

You could try Long Sault.

I have been going to the 1000 islands for 5 years now. I'm heading back the last week of Sept.
We rent a houseboat from House Boat Holidays in Gannanoqua (sorry 4 sp). We go for what is called and extended weekend which is Friady - Tuesday.
We travel from PA and the total cost per person is about $350 US. That is for the largest boat. There are six of us. I cannot say enough good things about folks at House Boat Holidays. They treat us very well! They have a large number of boats and smaller sizes for a family.
Having been there I would never!!!! go there unless I had a boat. The senery is breath taking and the waste is so clear it is amazing. Alot of the islands are game lands and offer nice big docks, picnic tables, and a few have pavillions with stone fire places.
Trust me get a houseboat (we take smaller river boats to fish from but you'll have just as good a time without) you won't be sorry even if it strains the buget a little more.

Charleston lake is not to bad either, a little bit of a drive from gananoque, but gorgeous and good shore fishing for the kids too
