Kings Bay Resort
Overview
Overview
Situated in the far northern reaches of New York, Kings Bay Resort in Champlain, NY places travelers right near the Canadian border and the scenic shores of Lake Champlain. This northern gateway destination captures the distinct character of the North Country, offering a quiet basecamp for road-trippers navigating Interstate 87 or exploring the historic borderlands between the United States and Quebec.
Location & Surroundings
The landscape around Champlain is defined by flat agricultural fields, rolling woodlands, and the expansive waters of Lake Champlain just to the east. Visitors experience cold winters, warm summers, and crisp autumns that draw leaf-peepers from across the Northeast. Travelers typically arrive via Interstate 87 or US Route 9, finding a tranquil rural atmosphere that feels far removed from major metropolitan traffic.
Amenities & Park Features
Because specific on-site amenities are not detailed here, visitors should contact the management directly before arrival to verify essential details. When calling, be sure to ask about hookup types, current site dimensions, and water access. Confirming specific policies regarding generator use, vehicle length restrictions, and pet rules ensures your rig matches the available setup.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
The surrounding region offers plenty of outdoor recreation, from boating and fishing on Lake Champlain to crossing the border for day trips into Montreal. History enthusiasts can explore nearby historic sites tied to the War of 1812, while hikers head south into the rugged terrain of the Adirondack Park. Local farmstands and waterfront parks provide easy ways to spend a relaxing afternoon outdoors.
Who This Park Is Best For
This destination suits road-trippers seeking a quiet stopover near the border, as well as anglers and boaters looking for direct access to northern waterways. Travelers planning an itinerary between the Adirondacks and Quebec will find the location practical for transitioning between mountain terrain and international destinations without rushing the drive.

Our stay was short, but very enjoyable. Sites are clean, very clean park, close to fun stuff. Near Montreal, right on Lake Champlain, short drive to Plattsburgh, Lake Placid makes for a great day trip. Just across the lake is Burlington Vermont, good restaurants, nice to walk around. All in all, it’s worthy of a stop and stay!

They were upgrading the whole campground there were not a lot of other campers so we had the whole campground to ourselves. The location was incredible. The staff there were very helpful and nice 🙂 I would definitely go back here.

Amazing place. Very nice, large campground. Clean. Beautiful views. Amazingly uncrowded. Coming from California where you have to book 6 months in advance and everyplace crowded, this place is a gem. Quiet and clean. I highly recommend it and so does my dog. 😂 Also, the manager Steve was extremely nice and helpful.

We had a wonderful time at Kings Bay! Everything was clean and well kept. We especially loved spending time on the beach and out on the water with the kayaks. The lake access and beautiful views made this a perfect peaceful getaway. Already looking forward to visiting again soon.

We’ve been coming to Kings Bay Campground for a while, and I have to say — the new ownership has completely turned this place around in the best way possible! You can really feel the difference. Everything is cleaner, more organized, and way more family-friendly. They’ve added tons of activities for both kids and adults, which makes it so much fun for the whole family. The staff is super friendly and clearly cares about making sure everyone’s having a great time. It’s become one of our favorite spots to camp — we’re already planning our next trip back! Highly recommend checking it out if you haven’t been in a while. Kings Bay is definitely on the up!
