Paradox Lake Campground

Nice quiet campground. The lake was amazingly clear! enjoyed kayaking here. our visit was in July 2016 and the facilities could have been updated but were clean.

Just about 3 miles off the Northway, headed east on Rt.74, you’ll find Paradox campgrounds on your left. My family has been going here for 35 years. In my younger years we also camped there. At that time there were no showers and only one small circle of campsites. When we returned 35 years ago a lot had changed. There are now 3 circles of campsites to choose from, a total of 58 sites. A choice of tent, RV and pop ups sites available. No electric hook ups. Shower units are about 36 years old. They are kept clean however they do need to be updated. They are still usable. That being said, the park can only replace things if the monies are there. Sadly, that doesn’t happen as much as it should. They have recently replaced many of the fire places. The roadways have also recently been paved. The grounds are kept very clean. Staff is beyond helpful and informative. There is a boat launch. We don’t use it so I can’t comment on it. We kyack. It is a recycle campground. Schroon Village, the nearest small town, is within 5 miles down south on Rt.9. Supermarket, restaurants, laundromat, gas station and a small “village” department store are some of what you’ll find in the village. There is also a deli/store/gas station on Rt.9 that is even closer. The town of Ticonderoga is about 8 miles east of this campground. The famous Fort Ticonderoga is there. We like Paradox because you can take day trips to Lake Placid, Canada, Vermont or Lake George.

Adirondacks scenery, camping along the lake. Trail access from campground. Swim & boat on site. Modern but basic state park. Some tent sites nicely private. Close to rt 87, convenient stop on the way to or from Canada from NYC.
