It's just really good. The staff is great. Some of the campsites are sand dirt or gravel which I don't really like but some of them are grass which I do. Bathrooms are cleaner than other campground bathrooms or outhouses. The showers are good. The beaches are both good. The hiking trails are a little hard to find but they're good too. There's enough room and trees between campsites you don't feel like you're up in your neighbor's business all the time, but some campsites are a little more open or closer together which is great if you're planning to camp with a group of friends. It's a nice place

Not recommended for horse camping. The horse sites were full of non horse people who were ruckus partiers making lots of noise until after 2am. They also wandered around the horse corals petting horses like a public petting zoo. I felt it necessary to lock the corral with a bike lock, it didn’t feel safe. The trails were not well marked, and if you want to go any distance at all, you have to go a long way on a poorly maintained trail through the woods with many logs down, over a dangerous brook crossing, and cross route 9n. Even after doing all of that, we found the ‘vista trail’ closed and had to back track. The swimming was nice at the beach, but with crappy trails and crappy sleep, I’d say it’s not worth the trip!

The park rangers set up a speed trap at the bottom of a hill the furthest from any camp sites possible and pulled over nearly the entire campground. Seemed like a shakedown. The one “officer” had the nerve to say “Happy Birthday” after handing me a ticket for going 5mph over. Just watch your back if you do go.

The grounds were fine except there were lots of large rocks that needed to be raked before putting your tent down. Each site comes with two picnic tables and the fire pit. The pit is a 3-sided stone wall with most sites having a rectangular grill grate attached by a chain. We were missing a grate but luckily the site next to us had two. There were plenty of private shower stalls with a one-touch button to turn on warm water that lasts about 5 minutes. Our site was a bit more cramped than other sites near us. The numerous trees made our place smaller but manageable (not a good fit for a trailer). I made note of a different site if we decide to stay here again as some have a longer “driveway”. We picked our site because of access to the lake and the foot traffic wasn’t a bother. The beach was small but not overcrowded. Plenty of people brought their paddleboards, canoes and kayaks. We caught bass and pickerel. I would’ve given 5 stars had I known about the cramped area prior to booking my site.

Camping in a place for the 1st time is something of a crap shoot for most of us. I went to visit a friend in the Lake Luzerne area. I pulled off to a rest area on route 9N, to contact my friend. The hour was early and my arrival was earlier than I, and my friend expected. So I booked a campsite for 2 days Monday and Tuesday, with a Wednesday a.m. checkout. I arrived a bit earlier than the check-in time by 30mins. They were friendly and said they would have to chk site and clean it because someone had stayed there. The people never checked out and a different site was giving to me close to my selected site. I didn't mind. I set up and was gone til early a.m. to sleep. Tuesday weather was rainy and everything was damp at minimum. I had a great visit with my friend, and also visited with others. My stay was made a bit easier because of the nice and accommodating staff. I did decide to leave on Tuesday early due to weather and conditions. The site was clean. I did take a shower. The showers were in one of several small private shower rooms. That was a nice surprise of the private room to use. They were clean and a little parking lot in case you drove to shower. The lake and private beach also a nice amenity to utilize. All in all I will definitely go back to this campground.

Sadly, our experience here wasn't that great. We spent 1 night when traveling through the area. I liked the wooded camp area and the distance between campsites was generous. I cleaned up our campsite that was littered with trash, crushed cans, and melted bottles. Groups of families were gathering at sites adjacent to ours, maybe about 4 families. It was nice to see kids have fun BUT quiet-time begins at 10:00 pm, and the adults partied loudly into the early hours of the morning. Were we supposed to climb out of our sleeping bags at 2:00 am and find a park employee? Somehow I don't think so. Thankfully, we left the next morning, and we won't go back.

Nice quiet state campground that has clean bathrooms, decent sites a small lake that has good fishing in it for the kids and is usually calm and a good place to kyack, canoe, swim etc.

Truly a gem. This park is about 15 mins from Lake George but without the touristy crowds. We were able to get a site right by the lake and the sunsets are incredible. You can rent a canoe or kayak for the entire day for $20 which is a great deal. Actually caught a couple of sunfish but I've heard there maybe some lake trout if you go deep. Showers are individual stalls with good pressure and hot water. So far I've been very pleased with NY state park campgrounds this year.
