From the NYS Thruway (I-90), Exit 31 at Utica; north on Rte. 12 to Alder Creek; Rte. 28 through village of Old Forge to Eagle Bay; turn left onto Uncas Road, 7 miles to Brown Tract Pond. From Adirondack Northway (I-87), Exit 23 at Warrensburg; take Rte 9 North to Rte 28 West through Indian Lake and Blue Mountain Lake to Raquette Lake Village; go 2 miles northwest on the dirt road.
Peaceful Campsite! If you want to connect with nature and destress from noise and the city, this is your place.
Like other reviews mentioned, there is no cell signal and no showers (you can go to the near by campsite to take one, if you want), but they have clean toilets around the campsite.
One of the beautiful sites is #73 along with # 88 and 87.
A beautiful place to camp. Not a lot to do. They aren't doing any kayak or canoe rentals this year ☹. But some beautiful views. The fishing was scarce but would be better from a boat. But the water is clean. There's water spickets at a lot of sites. And the fire pits are nice. No cell service but that was expected.
After about a several mile drive down a peaceful dirt road you arrive at the end where this beautiful campground sits. It's so peaceful here with tons of wildlife and one of the most peaceful ponds I've been on. There's a beautiful island in the middle and some wonderfully easy and beautiful hiking trails. The campground overall is very well maintained. It's also very remote so don't expect showers. However the water is very clear and perfect for rinsing off after a hike. during the height of the summer it wasn't even that packed and there aren't that many campground sites compared to other parks. It definitely left here feeling like I would come back many more times and I'm sure I will.
This campground was great. The sites were secluded and some were truly "hike in". Our only issue, other than the bugs, was the lack of level area for our tent (which is only a 10x10). The flattest spot was right next to the fire place. Other than that, the lake was awesome and being able to rent canoes was great.
This is a great place to relax by yourself or with family. Great view, awesome water for fishing and kayaking. Small island in the middle of the lake. Huge rock to jump from.
Few things I didn’t like. There’s no shower unless you decide to bathe in the lake. There’s also leech in the water. Be extremely careful with small kids. My nephew got three on him.
