I stayed on 7/19. My campsite was completely sloped so there was no level spot to pitch a tent so was sleeping at and angle all night. The picnic table was at about a 15 degree angle too. Couldn’t even stand up a water bottle on the table without it falling over. Emailed(per instructions from woman at campground) Koa on 7/21 about refund/credit and heard nothing. Followed up on 7/27, still nothing

Good news bad news! Site are large and clean. Staff is great! And extremely friendly and helpful. Location is perfect for getting to the Lake Placid. Village and activities. No shade at rv sites at the Riverside location. WIFI is strong and available, but absolutely no tv service either air or cable which is a bit strange. Lastly price is expensive compared to other Holiday KOA's.

We had a premium pull through camper site for our 5th wheel camper. This place is quite expensive for the amenities offered. No pool, the public beach is close by but it’s swarmed by people that aren’t from the campground. We were told it was dog friendly only to find out that dogs aren’t allowed on the beach area. On top of that, one of the dogs that somebody else had brought wasn’t on a leash and jumped on our dog and my wife cutting her leg open. The 30 amp breaker on our site kept tripping. The sites are awfully small and on top of each other. The cabin site next to ours had a tremendous amount of people and they kept cutting through our site to get to theirs. The staff are nice and helpful. No issues with cleanliness. It’s certainly well kept. But with the sites being so small and crowded and no pool for the campground, it’s too expensive for us to want to come back any time soon.

This is a review of the mountainside site. My family had a great time here in our smaller travel trailer. The memorial highway, ice cream stand and a few good restaurants are close by and there is an awesome scenic beach where you can rent kayaks on Ausible river across the street. The on site trails were great for light hiking and walking the dogs. The activities were good. My son was stoked for the tie die shirt activity (extra cost) and the train ride. However the 3 hours of the DJ bumping music was a bit much for campers looking for some peace. There are two cons to this KOA and some additional information on the other reviews. Con 1: Prices are on the high side and the only thing to justify that is the large sites and cleanliness. Con 2: the lights on the exit road completely ruin the experience of camping for those parked nearby. WAY too bright. Maybe angle them towards the ground? And the other info you need to know is that most of the low reviews here are for the riverside site. Which is across the street and a glorified field for parking a camper. The mountainside site is the one to be at if you plan on being there for more than just sleeping.

As an avid camper at state parks (which are considerably less expensive), I, perhaps, had unrealistic expectations of the amenities available at a KOA. That said, for $70 a night the campsite should have a few more amenities. The site was spacious and nice. The bathroom/shower/water were within a reasonable distance, but the only additional amenity was a free train ride for the kids. There was no access to a power source, the playground was run down, and the other advertised games for kids were not as advertised. Overall, we had a great time but we will not stay at another KOA as the additional $40-$50 is not worth it.

We started going to the Lake Placid/Whiteface KOA about 15 years ago as part of a fishing trip with about 30 guys. After seeing how clean the campground was and how beautiful the area was I spent the next few years trying to convince my wife to go up there for vacation. I finally about drug her up there about 9 years ago. We have gone back every year since and is our absolute favorite place to go. The staff is very friendly and helpful and keep all the facilities as clean as a campground can. Just a short hike down the hill and you are at what's called the Ausable River Flume, which is a beautiful waterfall/swimming hole. So much to do and see in the area.

Very clean & well maintained campground. Stayed here end of September & even though some things were closed for the season (pool) the campground was still worth it as a home base for Fall activities. Very convenient to Lake Placid and many other attractions. The trail down to the Ausable river is a nice hike too. Can't wait to stay here again.
