Lake Eaton campground offers a number of secluded sites, canoe, rowboat and kayak rentals and a blacktopped roadway for biking and walking enthusiasts. An interpretive nature trail is located along the northern boundary of the campground. There are numerous hiking opportunities nearby including one trail head that begins within the campground and serves three designated trails. Seaplane rides are available only a mile away in the nearby village of Long Lake which is a quintessential Central Adirondack town, and has been a hub of activity since the mid-nineteenth century.
This was our first time here... and it won't be the last!! Great sites, staff is friendly bathrooms are clean and showers were nice and hot! You like to fish... come here! Dusk fishing is the best... there were 5 of us from different sites catching them left and right ... we waded out 100yards and casted back into the shoreline ...amazing. The kayaking was beautiful!! The bugs didn't really bother us...deep is the key!! Happy camping and enjoy
This was my first ever camping in the states. We went there in a group of 4 on may 20th weekend.
It was forecasted for rains that happened and we were prepared with our tarp. The only thing we were not prepared for was the wind. It almost blew our tent away had it not been for us in it. Lol. So if you taking the site next to the lake, plan for it.
The fireplace was nice and different from the usual circular structure. The staff was super friendly. They have a place for disposing off the waste.
No signal(T-Mobile)/light signal (Verizon) in the area. You'll have to step outside for a mile or so to get it. Nearby town can provide firewood and other things you might need for camping.
Overall, it's a beautiful place and a must visit if you like to go camping.
More than enough trails and hikes near by for you to explore as well.
This is a beautiful location. The campground sits on Lake Eaton which is fairly shallow and very sandy on the campground site. The three staff that care for this campground are friendly, helpful and hardworking. The facilities are rustic but well kept. The roads are a bit rough. The sites are generally good sized with a picnic table, and fire pit. Some sites are sloped so look carefully. There are many lakeside sites here which makes putting in kayaks and canoes easy. This is a very breezy lake. The wind starts at daybreak and continues u til sunset. We didn't see any bear activity but we did take all precautions and so should you as they are definitely nearby. There is a variety of water fowl. The beach is not monitored so swim at your own risk. However the water is very shallow at the beach area which is nice for all. There is a sand volleyball court. No playground or other equipment. Cell phone reception is spotty depending on where you are but 1-2 bars for Verizon and AT&T.
We were touring / tent camping via motorcycle when we came to Lake Eaton. The sites were laid out very well, easy to find flat spots. Great location for excursions to Long Lake, Owl's Head mountain & fire tower, and canoe / kayak rentals right at Eaton. Weather was not the best; the day we left was when the heavens opened & flooded the area; the next night we took refuge at the Adirondack Hotel at Long Lake. Still a memorable & enjoyable leg of our trip!
Our second year camping here and will be coming back annually. Beautiful lakefront and wooded sites, all amenities of a state park campground except laundry and within a few minutes drive to long lake and plenty of restaurants and beautiful lakes and mountain trails. An hour or so from lake placid and the high peaks wilderness. Lots of kids and families
