Great place to camp and really good ranger and warden! Love this place! Thank u so much for all u do to take care of our parks !
We stayed at lot 16. 17 and 18 are closer than the map suggest, however our neighbors at 18 were quite and 17 was empty. While the space has no shade, it was perfect for a pair of early birds. Perfect drop in for kayaking withing 20 feet. Plenty of wood for campfires if you are willing to hike a bit. Thanks for a great weekend.
Foliage between coastal campsites help to create privacy and feelings of isolation. Beautiful sunsets. Just remember to bring everything you need and take all your trash with you.
Beautiful campground in a beautiful area! Caretaker is extremely friendly and helpful. Only problem is that there’s a leaking electric line running underwater right at the dock that will give you a little shock if you try to get in the water in the immediate vicinity. You can swim at most spots but not near the dock. The utility company has known about this for years and has done nothing.
Camping Site 19 July 18 -July 22 2023.
Great location, pretty good spot for tents and easy up. Relatively private. Mostly a good time as lake is beautiful and we enjoy camping here.
I would do 3 1/2 stars as sadly large group on sites 9 & 10, I believe were the sites, were very loud and obnoxiously drunk. They arrived Thursday late afternoon. Partying until 3:30AM both Thursday and Friday nights.
This group, who have been camping at Tioga for 15 years we found out, do not have any regard for the rest of campers who paid for their sites and are looking to enjoy their stay. Very obnoxious as they drive their boat drunk and act as though they are entitled.
The camp ground care takers are aware of this group and have received numerous complaints about them.
If we go back to Raquette Lake we will definitely choose different time frame as Jolly and the boys arrive either week before or this week yearly. Kind of makes us and a couple other campers not want to stay there.
And that is a shame.
