This was my first time here and I had a great experience! The campsites were clean and well-maintained, and the bathrooms were above average in cleanliness. The showers are included, and there are even flushing toilets and a sink for washing dishes! The staff were friendly and helpful, and they sell firewood on-site.

Really good location if you are hiking in the area. Wouldn’t recommend this campground if you are looking to lounge at the campsite a lot, it’s very small and there’s not much to explore aside from a waterfall down the hill. I’ve been coming here for years and have always found the caretakers friendly and washrooms clean. Only 2 showers in the women’s side so can get busy at peak times.

It's got bathrooms, showers, and is conveniently located only a short distance from Lake Placid. Only gripes are that the campsites could be a bit more secluded, and it could be farther back from the road. Overall pleased though.

This was our first time at this campground. We loved it. Bathrooms were clean. People were friendly if we get up for that part of New York. We will certainly stay there again. You have to go see the waterfalls down the hill.

Sites are fine, bathrooms are clean, but the road traffic was fairly awful. So loud and non-stop starting at 5am.

We've come here for camping 4 years in a row. The location is perfect for what we do. The camp sites are about average at best. No hookups of any kind. They really need to rake the grounds more regularly. And it would be great if they had some ash buckets. Not full sized trash cans. I wonder if the care takers ever camped in their life? The good thing was that they offered ice and wood. That makes the cramped camp ground more useful. I don't have to go out for anything. But they stopped selling ice. And the wood is soaked. You need a flamethrower to light it. We'll likely be trying a new spot next year as a result. For the fee, there needs to be something you offer.

This was a really nice state campground kept clean. While were there leading into 4th of July all the campers and staff were so friendly. Nice hike down to waterfalls with a nice flat hike along going up the river with a few easy boulder access to the river.

We enjoyed our stay here while vacationing in the Lake Placid area. It was close to the Whiteface region as well as Lake Placid attractions. On the first night there were tent campers in a site directly behind us which felt like we were sharing the same "backyard" (we were at site 42, they were at site 39). When we booked our reservation in December, site 39 was next to the bathhouse but it looks like they are cutting down some trees in that section now so site 39 has been moved. I think it made the both of us feel uncomfortable because they ended up moving their picnic table and we positioned all our equipment to be away from them too. That was the only downside of our trip. The bathrooms were clean. Although it is right along a busy road, it gets quiet enough in the late night hours for sleeping. We would recommend staying here!

Loved the scenery! Clean grounds (as opposed to north pole, yuck!). Bryce at the front desk was a joy!

This is a small state campground adjacent to Whiteface Ski resort and a ten minute drive to downtown Lake Placid. Choose sites wisely: sites near the road are noisy. If you like heavy shade under pine trees, opt for sites near the river side. Bathrooms and showers are dated but well-maintained.

Nice campground with primitive type spots. No electric or water at sites but restroom has dual wash tub sink outdoors for doing dishes or filling a pot of water. There is a beautiful waterfall trail that is extremely steep at back corner of grounds. Be cautious and take your time going down.

Quiet campground with facilities but no electric.or.sewer hookup. Price reflects. Steep hike to amazing falls! Worth the time
