Fantastic lake. Boat in only for the campsites. Need to bring your own bear box, etc.
Stayed here for two nights with my girlfriend. We canoed out to out campsite in the early afternoon. You cannot reach the campsites by land, only by boat. Canoes are rented on site for about $20 per day. Each campsite has a small outhouse, but obviously no running water. There was a well maintained fire pit with a metal circle and flip grate which was perfect for cooking.
The campsites were very clean and separate from other campers, which was why we choose this place. The view was incredible. We heard coyotes and all sorts of animals at night. We will definitely be returning as soon as possible!
Love the area and the Adirondacks! Stayed here one night at the Indian Lake State Campgrounds. Arrived just as they were locking up for the evening and they told me the area to find a site for the evening and just pick out my site and stop by in the morning and pay for it. Wow...was thrilled to get set up before it was completely dark and so appreciated their trust that I'd be back in the morning to pay!! Will be back in a few weeks to camp with my son.
Camping is wonderful here! It can get busy during certain weekends. But overall very relaxing!
Excellent campground in an absolutely beautiful park. The site (#39) was clean and the staff was very friendly when we interacted. Our site was relatively close, only a mile away but it took us 15-20 minutes to get there with a 5HP motor.
We showered at Lewey Lake campground and had a great week camping.
