About
State Park
Ausable Point Campground protrudes from Route 9 into Lake Champlain and offers a shoreline comprised of natural sand and a gentle slope from many campsites. It borders a wildlife management area that offers a hiking trail, as well as water access for canoeists and sea kayakers to explore. With the city of Plattsburgh a short drive from this campground there is virtually no limit for entertainment opportunities.

Great camp site, pleasantly surprised
I loved my stay at the ausable point camprgound. They have some beach and river sites if you like to be close to the water. Showers and bathrooms were spacious. You can rent a paddleboard, kayak, etc down the road (not even 5min) from Adirondack river rentals. There is a ''private little beach'' near the campsites at bigger one at the entrance with loots of parking. Wish I would have stayed longer!
Beautiful Park
Spent 3 nights at Ausable Point in August 2020 . Had site 98 on the river , highly recommend a river site or beach site . Was told getting beach site is nearly impossible, luckily got one on the river . No hookups on our site , water was available throughout the campground for filling tank . Public beach in campground is beautiful.
Site was spacious and level with trees between other sites .
Highly recommend
Fun campground for family paddling
Campground has some great sites ( river sites best for paddling), beach sites ( some have a very high cement wall with a drop off to the beach- not recommended for families with dogs or small children). 10 showers total for the whole campground, but was oddly never busy whenever we went to use it. There is a bench outside the showers with an electrical outlet you can charge things if you have to wait. Flush toilets in the bathrooms and an electrical outlet in them as well. Our site 87 was large, on the river and shaded. Not too far from the bathrooms and had a water spigot close enough to hook up to fill our water tank. They had daily (9&5) ice and wood for sale- listen for the bell of the truck. We also had an ice cream truck come through with soft serve ice cream! Although this was 'dry camping' I really didn't miss the electric hook up as we were able to use the generator for a few hours as needed ( during specified times). We rented kayaks and a canoe from down the road Adirondack River rentals and they delivered and picked up from our site. There weren't any real hiking trails at the campground but I'm sure there were some nearby. Walmart is within about 20 minutes if you forget anything. We visited during COVID restrictions so there was not much open.
