Spacious campsites in wooded area; felt pretty private. The camp hosts cleaned the fire pit out prior to our stay. Lots of sticks and dried pine needles in/around the site for tinder. Outside the campground there were plenty of homes selling firewood for cheap. No cell service!! Connect with nature instead!!! Was packed on Saturday night and dead on Sunday.

What a great, quiet state park. Nice and flat for bike riding, great water for paddling. Our site (9) had great privacy and a lot of the waterfront sites looked the same. There is a huge sandy public beach area for swimming as well. Friendly staff, clean bathrooms and each bathhouse has a shower and dishwashing station, so it is super convenient. We had a great week and can't wait to go back!

If you want to Camp at a campground under towering pines, on large sites, with mountains and lakes and quiet, and no cell service to distract you, than this is the place.

Pristine primitive style camping. The sites are beautiful wooded with enough seclusion to provide everyone with a private experience. I stayed at the R1 Island campsite which I highly recommend.

Very nice quiet park (at least early in the year, I have not been there during the high season) with nice sites, a beautiful lake for paddling, and a large sand beach. Nice long double track trail for gentle mountain biking. As with any park out in the woods of the Adirondacks, bring your bug spray and nets. No cell coverage to speak of, maybe enough for a text when near the pond or lake, but don't rely on it.

We stayed here the week before labor day. It was very quiet. Coolish temperatures but very few bugs. Each bathroom building had a shower AND a dish washing station. Nice beach area and a good boat launch.

Primitive campground, which means sites are a clearing in the woods with no electric, water or any other amenities on site. But this is what I prefer to what I call "family style" campgrounds, so I liked it. They do have comfort stations with running water and flush toilets. While it was very well maintained and clean, it is very old and could stand a bit of a refresh. Otherwise this is great for those here to enjoy nature as opposed to partying at a campsite. For the latter, you would be better off at a different campground where that is welcomed or common.

We loved camping at Buck Pond. We were on site 18 which was a nice spacious site with trees for our hammocks. When we go again we are hoping to reserve one of the sites that have water access. The kayaking here is amazing! $20 for 24 hours. So peaceful and lots of places to explore. Definitely recommend Buck Pond.
