Paradox Lake Campground is nestled on rolling hills of hardwood and creates the impression of being miles from the real world. With canoes and rowboats available for rent at the registration booth and abundant fish in the lake, this facility provides for camping at its finest. Paradox Lake Campground is a comparatively small campground located on the shore of Dark Bay, which is on Paradox Lake. The lake itself is approximately 4-3/4 miles long.
58 campsites, hot showers, flush toilets, trailer dump station, recycling center, boat launch site, picnic area with pavilion rental, canoe and boat rentals.
From I-87, take Exit 28, then Rte. 74 east approximately 4 miles to Paradox Lake.
Large campsites very well spread out so you are not right next to anyone. It was super quiet, no noise or cars after 9:30 on a Saturday night. Campsites were heavily treed and clean. Short walk to the lake with a little dock. Popular place to launch your fishing boat.
Paradox is absolutely beautiful, and very well maintained. Staff are very helpful and friendly. Sites are nice and bathrooms are clean and conveniently located.
It was beautiful, but very secluded. If you're into the seclusion, this is the place for you. I personally was pretty uneasy camping there at night. During the day, however, the place is booming with people bringing kayaks and boats. The water is clear enough to see the bottom, and you see fish swimming around when you stand on the dock. Definitely a hidden gem during the day.
Unfortunately we were affected by storms this weekend, but unpredictable mother nature aside, this is a fantastic campground with large sites and a beautiful pond to fish and boat in! 10 minutes from Schroon Lake gives you the opportunity to swim at the beach and visit some cute local shops, as well!
