I have been coming here since I was in diapers. One of the best places to camp, canoe, swim, fish and relax. Starting going here with my parents and brothers, in my teens and 20’s I took my best friends, now I get to take my husband. This lake is gorgeous, peaceful and the rangers over the many decades have been the best in the nation (in my humble option). I hope to come here for the rest of my life.

Idyllic. Canoe in to get off the beaten path. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful in making sure we had a place to stay for the night, especially Ethan. Each site on the water is equipped with a place to beach or dock a boat, an outhouse, and a bear locker for food/trash. Hope to be back here soon.

We stayed at site 46 and it was awesome! Beautiful moonrises, great sunrises, all tucked in a cozy little private cove! Pit toilets, bear boxes, picnic table and metal fire pit at our site and every other site, I’d assume. We’ll be back next year!

Super cool spot, Canoe is 20$ a day Firewood is 11$/bag These spots seem like coolest Island spot which has two campgrounds: 52 11,12,13, all seem really cool. I was at 22 its nice and secluded and you get the sun in your face from 4 to 8 We had no bugs at all except for peski flies while we were canoeing Great spot!

Ideal location for camping by the lake. Check before booking if you will be able to take your vehicle to the actual site or not. Some of the site location you might have to use boat to go if you don’t wanna walk thru the forest. Don’t worry if you don’t have boat as canopy is available on rent just for $20. Also firewood is available on the camp site which is little costlier. Also camp manager is available on the site always and very helpful. Don’t miss the sunrise. Enjoy

Great experience! Large sites and great swimming and kayaking

Love Forked Lake. Campsites are secluded and private. Its peaceful and therapeutic. You get the illusion of wilderness camping without being too far from the boat launch. Go every year after labor day when the crowds have dispersed for the season.

It a nice quiet place to be and relax from the city life..then u have people complaining about no network service hello it a camp site this is a perfect place to disconnect and enjoy nature's and leave all electronic put away until u leave the site..and then complaining about garbage any campsites u go to u must bring your own garbage bag to throw your own trash this is not a 3 star hotel and get room service...the things people complain about is ridiculous thats why is call camping it about disconnecting from the world and enjoying nature...

Was disappointed I had to pay 8 dollars just to park and kayak. (DAY PASS?) I've never had to do that before because the Adirondack park is MASSIVE with many many lakes THAT DON'T CHARGE. Never going back although I will say the older gentleman checking the boats for invasive species was a pleasure to talk to. Great guy.

Giving 2 ratings only for the campground scenic view. We had a horrible guest service from the staff. We had a group of 11 people and had campsites 22,23,24 and had one person with leg surgery. The staff didn’t give us a boat to get in the campground because of wind. He didn’t assure us to give one when the wind gets down. And told us walk through the woods to our camp sites. When we told us there’s one who had leg surgery few months ago and has trouble to long walk. He said then he don’t know anything. We ended up walking through the woods to our campsites with a huge bunch of staffs we got for camping. That was a simply terrible walk!! We weren’t expected this. He didn’t accommodate us in any way. This campground isn’t suitable for beginners. The bathroom has no napkins. Rarely got any network in the bush. Also bring your mosquito spray. However we had a lot of fun with our group. And there’s no trash cans anywhere. You have to take it back with you. I wish the parking lot was accessible from campsites!
