Overview
Rogers Rock Campground is a cornerstone of the northern Lake George camping experience, offering a quintessential Adirondack getaway. Situated on the crystal-clear shores of one of New York's most famous lakes, it offers a blend of mountain scenery and waterfront access. This state-run facility is widely recognized for its **expansive shoreline** and deep historical significance, providing a peaceful escape within the sprawling **Adirondack Park** for generations of campers seeking a nature-focused retreat.
Location & Surroundings
Located in the town of Hague, NY, the park sits at the base of the majestic **Rogers Slide**, a massive rock face sloping into the water. The surrounding Adirondack mountains create a dramatic and lush backdrop for every campsite. The campground is strategically positioned on the quiet, northern end of Lake George along **Scenic Route 9N**, offering a more serene atmosphere than the southern basin while still providing easy access to clear waters and **mountain vistas**.
Amenities & Park Features

- Convenient bathhouses with **hot showers** and modern toilets.
- Dedicated **mooring buoys** available for boaters.
- A picnic area with tables and fireplaces.
There are over 300 campsites available, many of which are spacious enough for **large RVs**, though hookups are not provided at this state facility.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Beyond the campground gates, visitors can explore the nearby town of Ticonderoga, which is home to the historic **Fort Ticonderoga**. Outdoor enthusiasts often hike the challenging trails leading to the summit of Rogers Rock for breathtaking panoramic views. Popular activities nearby include:
- Exploring the **historic battlefields** and museum exhibits.
- Engaging in **lake trout fishing** in the deep waters.

Who This Park Is Best For
Rogers Rock is ideal for families and adventure-oriented travelers seeking an authentic **Adirondack wilderness experience**. It is a perfect match for those who enjoy water sports, historical sightseeing, and unplugged living.

It's my favorite campground. But sadly it's not taken care of. Like many others have stated, bathrooms are FILTHY! I feel like I'm going to get an STD just showering. I have tried using the facilities at different times of the day to see if maybe they are cleaner at certain times, but they are always filthy. NYS Health Department should seriously do an inspection. As far as the sites. Be sure to drive the whole campground if possible to make notes. Some sites are small and not level at all. Some are great. The fireplaces need serious attention. Most were broken apart. Last season our picnic table was in rough shape too. We have had seasons where we had quiet neighbors and other seasons where we have had the worst camping neighbors ever. If you have loud campers next to you, don't expect anything to be done. One year we had people clearly doing illegal drugs openly during the day and partying ALL night long. Multiple campers complained to staff and nothing was ever done. Instead, they told us we could move if we were bothered by the noise. The campground is beautiful. And it's sad it's not better cared for. Bring a rake! Because you will want to clean it upon arrival. Staff basically shovels out the fireplace and that's all. Prior to covid the beaches had life guards on duty. But that seems to have not returned. They also used to have canoe rentals too which was nice. But that also went away. The lake is clean and the beach is great. I hope to see them make some changes to honor the beauty of the Adirondacks.

Nice campground close to Clifton Park area (just over an hour drive). The beach was clean and good for swimming, docks that you can sit on and watch the sunset, nice wooded areas and a lot of wildlife around - there was a Porcupine right by our fire pit at night!

We went up to see my college buddies who camp there every year and spent about 4 hours visiting their adjoining campsites. Each has space for two vehicles to park with room for a large tent, a concrete-backed fire pit which we cooked on, and a wooden picnic table. Recommendations include a mesh enclosure for the table and a hammock or two for the teenagers. Plenty of shade on their loop with the washrooms conveniently located nearby. Hague is a beautiful small town near the site for essentials and a Jeep drives around selling firewood for $15 per plastic bin (30 or 40 quart size) with local options also available. If you have a dog, BRING A RABIES VACCINATION CERT! Even visitors need to show proof of vaccination. It will speed up the process of entry and some cell carriers lack service in that area. Have a great time!

Rented a campsite for 2 tents, 4 people and 2 cars. Campsite was 12 x 18 - 20ft with a fireplace on one side and a picnic table in the middle. We had to park our cars on the side of the "road" which was only 1 car wide to begin with. We had all of 4ft between the fronts of our tents. Restroom placement on the map should have been right behind us. Nope. 200 feet, then turn and walk up hill another couple hundred feet. And the bathrooms are 4 stalls and absolutely disgusting. We used the woods and garbage bags. It was that bad. Let's move on to the showers. There are none anywhere near where our site was. You have to go out to the main road, cross over into the main park, past the registration booth and then try to find the right path/ road to get to one. It's about 3/4 of a mile or so. And there are only 3 showers for the entire campground of 300 +/- individual sites plus the group sites. There was no one to check us in. No one to help us locate our site. No one to tell us where to buy firewood. We made the reservation based off Google reviews and to be honest, it's like we stayed at a different campground than everyone . Trip Advisor only gives it 3. We should have done more research.
