Very nice lake, quiet and the campground is excellent. Pleasant and friendly staff. The main gripe I had wasn't about the campground itself, the town surrounding is falling apart. A common theme in the northern country of NY unfortunately. We are the type of camper that likes to explore while we camp, check out shops and restaraunts, etc. if you are like us, skip Tupper lake which is also pretty run down and head over to Saranac lake which is a 45 minute drive or so. The campground workers helped us get our camper slide back in when our generator wouldn't start, they brought theirs over for us to use.
Great camp sites, only thing i didn't like is there's only one shower area with 6 shower stalls.
Beautiful campground. I loved being near the water. We hiked Bear Mountain which is right there and just walked to the camp site. We hiked High Falls a few miles away. The beauty of nature is just unbelievable. It rained a few times but it didn't ruin our time there. It was wonderful. We will definitely return.
Beautiful views of the lake. Very peaceful. Great kayaking. Only negative is the shower water turns off every 20 seconds. Need to change that. At least the water was warm.
Our campsite was level, as were many other campsites we looked at. Privacy, shade, and condition of fire pits and tables was good. Toilets and drinking water spigots were well located and well maintained. The sand beach is excellent for swimming. The firewood was $11 USD for 1 cubic foot, but was bone dry hardwood that split easily, and burned very well.
