Forked Lake Campground
Forked Lake Campground, near Long Lake, New York, offers a rustic camping experience right on the water's edge. With tent sites that are widely spaced and all facing the lake, it’s a great place to unwind and soak in the natural beauty.
This campground is all about the basics, with fires allowed and firewood available for those cozy evenings under the stars. While some campers have mentioned the primitive facilities, including pit toilets, the surrounding wildlife and scenic views make up for it. As one visitor noted, “Spacious sites, pretty surroundings, lots of wildlife.”
If you’re up for some adventure, canoe rentals are available, allowing you to paddle to your site and explore the lake. Just be prepared for the local bugs, especially if you’re camping in late June. Many have shared their experiences with the heavy bug presence during that time, so it might be wise to plan your visit accordingly.
For those who enjoy a bit of solitude and don’t mind roughing it a little, Forked Lake Campground provides a unique opportunity to connect with nature. Just remember, this is bear country, so keep your food secured and enjoy the great outdoors responsibly.
