Nicks Lake Campground – Adirondack Perfection We had a great three-night stay at Nicks Lake Campground. Our site was perfectly situated, with just the right amount of space between neighbors for a peaceful, private feel. The lake itself is gorgeous—calm, scenic, and perfect for a quiet paddle or just soaking in the view. One of the best parts is the location: just a quick hop into Old Forge for supplies or a meal, and right around the corner from McCauley Mountain. The bathrooms were impressively clean and well-maintained, making the stay even more comfortable. I can’t wait to come back with the mountain bike and hit the trails in the area.

Nicks Lake is a nice, clean, wooded campground. My family has camped here a few times over the years and it's always a nice experience. I haven't seen much of the campground overall, other than on our drive in and out, the walk to and from the restroom, and our site. There is alway some bear activity when we stay. Obviously, I know it's to be expected, after all, we are in the Adirondacks. On our last stay from August 1st to the 3rd, there were 5 bears we were warned about upon check in. We did see one bear late one night, on our way to the restroom. It was about 20 to 30 feet away, searching close to the back of a vehicle.

We had a great experience this week at nicks lake! Beach is amazing and clean! Along with the playground. Hiking trails are abundant in the area. Only downsides would be no camp store, lack of events at the Campgrounds and allowing open faced generators is annoying.

We enjoyed our time at Nicks Lake and camping here. The ADK’s are a magical destination that we love to visit at least once a year. The campground itself was really clean and there was plenty of space between the camping lots. We had a pretty large amount of people camping together when we visited both with tents and campers so there was a lot of space .

Such a wonderful place to camp!! Me and my family got a few sites and enjoyed a few days here and loved every minute! The staff is so welcoming and helpful and it’s just beautiful! The facilities were nice as well!

What a great camp ground. I love that the sites are private. Everyone is not on top of Each other. Showers and bathrooms are clean. Staff is friendly. I would highly recommend staying here I will definitely come back

Nick's Lake is a great place to sit back with a cigar, a Coors Light and a...,wait, this is a family camp ground. Anyway, the loops are all paved which makes it great for scooters, skateboards and your ex mother in laws roller blades. They are very strict about the speed (15mph on the "main" road and 5mph in the loops) so if you have a Nissan GTR, this would NOT be the place for you because you wouldn't be able to do the speed limit(There S L O W). They have phones in the offices however, they are probably on T-Mobile so we know what that means🤮. In the end though, this would be a great place to go camping with your wife and/or girlfriend.
