Nice camp ground on Lake Thompson. Smaller sized sites with no electricity. Some of the sites have direct access to the lake to dump in you kayak. There is a boat ramp on the end of the lake. Saw a bald eagle in the trees at the other end of the lake.

A very quiet park. You can see many fish playing in the water while walking by the lake. On the way to the camp, we met an Amish family selling fruits, vegetables and eggs. They were cheap and fresh. If you happen to be on the way, you should go and take a look

Good little beach to take a dip in. When we pulled up to the little box office before we get into the park the girl that was working it just stared at us until we said hi, stared at us again and then i told her we’re going to the beach. She said $7 then just stared at me still sitting down and i had to get out of my car to give her my payment. Not a crazy big deal but I’ve never been to a park where I’m the one getting out of my car when I just roll through after paying. Also the lifeguards close early and i could tell they were itching to leave, telling people false times when they showed up an hour before close. I heard them say multiple different closing times to different people. 8/6/25

A great place to take the family to camp with a beach that has the most attentive, fit, patient lifeguards in the business. You can fish, rent kayaks and SUPs. Buy wood, ice, and hot clean showers. All you need for a relaxing getaway 20 minutes outside of Albany in the Helderbergs. Make reservations far in advance if you like a specific spot.

We rented an RV from Alpine Haus in Amsterdam NY and drove to the campground. We brought our 2 granddaughters and we all had a vacation to remember. Everyone that works there is friendly and helpful. The campground is clean and the sites are large and private. Rules are enforced and I felt safe and relaxed. The lake is beautiful whether you want to swim, fish, or just watch the waves roll in and the bald eagle soaring above.

One of the best campgrounds around. Clean bathrooms and showers. Helpful and courteous staff. Great price on firewood and ice.

Clean restrooms. Camping spots are tightly packed. Very small beach. Hard to get access to the lake for fishing. Overall okay experience. I would t say I will repeat
