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.
