The Best Camping Near Lake Placid, New York

The campground by Copperas Pond is up a trail in the Sentinel Range Wilderness Area. The hike up to the campground was pretty rocky and steep, but not that long. About a mile up the trail splits in two; one way goes to the lean to where we camped and the other path circles halfway around the lake with 3 or 4 campground spots along the way. The lake was gorgeous, and the lean-to has a beautiful view from inside. We set up a bunch of hammocks because the weather was good, but could have all fit in the lean to easily. Although there’s not any trails to hike on apart from the ones to campgrounds from the parking lot, there are lots of trails a few minutes from the parking lot, and you can swim in the lake. Most of the campsites are right next to the lake, have a fire pit, and at the lean to there is an outhouse pit toilet close by. I thought it was a really pretty site and it wasn’t crowded or too near the roads, and we really enjoyed the scenery.
