Mt. Marcy camping

We camped here for a few nights in one a lean-to for a group trip and it was absolutely amazing! The scenery was gorgeous and there were lots of nice hikes around.

This campground is conveniently located near the trails for Mt. Marcy, Mt. Colden, and Avalanche Pass. Everything is first come first serve. You can sleep in one of four lean-tos, or set up a tent at one of the other marked sites. On summer weekends, all the sites can fill up pretty quickly by Friday night.

It's a really lovely area. But don't expect facilities - this is backcountry camping. No toilets or piped water. No firepits, and you cannot start fires here - bring your stove. Bring your own bear canister.
