TravelerWe were there 4th of July weekend, and the park was fully booked. Very friendly rangers, electricity in bathrooms, hot showers, and a nice dishwashing and recycling center.
The campsite connects to the beach area and there is boat rental, but no pets allowed in the beach area.
For us, a drawback was a lack of any hikes connecting to the campsite.
GuideWe stayed here a while ago while running the Boilermaker, at the time we had outfitted our twelve passenger van with a bed and used the electric hookups for our fans and chargers. We had a fire pit and picnic table as well. It was a beautiful spot on the Delta Reservoir, had plenty of trees and access to the reservoir for wading and swimming. The bath houses were clean and centrally located. Nice little no-frills campsite.
RangerWe spent a relatively quiet long weekend here on loop F 97, which is a bit removed from the main campground. It was a bit noisy on Saturday night but nothing disturbing. This site also is bordered by a small stream so expect mosquitoes and the occasional visit from wildlife (we had raccoons at our site each night, so kept food in the car). Each site has a fire pit and a picnic table.
There is a store just outside the entrance that sells ice, wood, groceries. There are quite a few roadside firewood sellers that are reasonably priced. The fire pit does not have a narrow grilling grate so bringing something to ensure your food won't fall through the widely spaced bars is helpful.
As I said, our site was out of the main population, but it was a bit of a hike to the restroom which is something to keep in mind if you've really got to get to a bathroom first thing in the morning.
There is a Walmart about 10 miles away in Gloverville, so keep this in mind if you are planning on picking up essentials when you arrive.
There are no sites with electric.
RangerDelta Lake State Park sits at the foothills of the Adirondack Park, just outside Rome, New York. Pretty and well-kempt, Delta Lake is a nice option for those looking to stay close to home and within proximity to civilization. You can enjoy the great outdoors, while only being a few miles away from a restaurant or grocery store.
The campground isn‘t the best I’ve experienced, a bit on the crowded side-similar to a woodsy suburb- but this could have been distinctive to Loop A where I stayed. I stayed in site 35 and was intermixed with all the campers and RV’s, so it got a bit noisy. Not that restful, secluded experience I typically go for, but I should have planned further in advance.
However, what the park lacked in terms of its campground, it totally made up for in its beach, swimming and picnic areas! This place was awesome for hosting a birthday party for my niece and relaxing at the beach/ day facilities. They have plenty of picnic tables, charcoal grills, a huge beach and locker rooms. This is really a great place to spend a day with your family!
TravelerThe sites are small, but there are mature trees between them & woodsy areas around the campsites. The campground is clean and well kept. The laundry room and bathrooms were clean. I didn’t have a chance to use the deck or the indoor pool.
The owners made me feel welcome from the minute I arrived. They went above & beyond for me.
The facilities are not wheelchair accessible. The owners said that they are working on that.
GuideAs I sat having by my coffee, watching steam rise from the pond, I listened to the distant calls of Loons.
I’d describe this campground as a hidden gem, but it’s not for everyone. To get here you leave the paved road and take a gravel road a little ways. On our way we spotted a group of Turkeys wandering about. This campground is for the adventurous. No electric or water hook ups (for RVs) and no shower facilities, but there are restrooms.
Staff was friendly and helpful. Helped me pick out a site and made sure I was good once I set up. Bring or rent a Canoe and you can travel out to an island in the middle of the pond from which families jump from a large rock into the lake.
As the sun sets and the stars come out, you’ll look up and suddenly realize just how small you are as you stare at the heavens and see the Milky Way.
Nothing but peace and quiet. When it’s quiet hours, the only thing you here is nature and the occasional crackle of someone’s fire.
Would I go here again? Brown Tract is one of those places that after you go once, you find yourself going again and again. Our tripped was booked as soon as we could.
GuideWe had a waterfront hookup ! So pretty especially in the morning with the sunrise. The road to get in was for the most part well taken care of. It was pretty quiet especially after quiet hours everyone was very respectful. It got really windy at night which was nice to keep the bugs away. Friendly neighbors as well. There’s a few steps down to a gravel beach and an expansive view of the delta lake. There were bathrooms in the middle of our loop which was great and easy to walk to and it was very clean. There is a water full station when you enter but there are also a couple water spigots in our loop.
GuideThis was our first time here, and we were looking forward to a relaxing visit. The sites were very large and well spaced out, with a beautiful fire ring. The bathrooms were clean. This campground got a 3/5 mainly because quiet hours are not enforced. Unfortunately, people were up blaring radios until approximately 3 am, being roudy. At approximately 2 am, someone decided it would be a good idea to do burnouts with their diesel truck, and went around the camp loop twice, doing just that. Vehicles were driving by the campsites all night long. This is naturally not entirely the campgrounds fault, but it was unfortunate to be misled by the campground rules. On a positive note, the campground is dog friendly, in certain areas, with proof of rabies vaccination, of course. Overall, I would say that this campground is geared more toward the RV and trailer crowd.
TravelerMy buddy and I were looking for a campsite for a quick overnight stay before a bike trip around the Adirondacks, and this spot was a perfect fit. Coming in late after driving all day, we unfortunately didn’t get to meet Rich in person. He did however give us good directions to navigate the narrow driving path in the dark to reach the pond camping area, and even had a large two room tent already set up that we were able to use - a convenient and kind gesture! The old school bus was a fun perk to check out in the morning as well. Most state ran parks in New York close up before the middle of October, and this is a great option for an off season camping spot in the area. Thanks Rich!
Dispersed camping opportunities abound in the wilderness surrounding Inlet, New York at elevations ranging from 1,500 to 2,500 feet. The heavily forested terrain features a mix of hardwoods and conifers with numerous lakes and ponds throughout the region. Winter temperatures often drop below zero, while summer averages 75-80°F with frequent afternoon thunderstorms from June through August.
Paddle remote waterways: Stillwater Reservoir offers 40+ primitive campsites accessible primarily by water. "We took a canoe to our site, it was July, warm weather, warm water and the bugs were not terrible, we were at Site 1, secluded in a cove, not a lot of traffic," notes one Stillwater Reservoir visitor. Most sites require boat access, with only one car-accessible site available.
Hike to scenic overlooks: Several trails accessible directly from campgrounds provide rewarding views. At Little Sandpoint Campground, "The short but steep trail to Echo Cliffs within walking distance was my favorite part because it was so close and you could see Piseco Lake below," according to a camper. The trail can be completed in under an hour round-trip.
Mine for crystals: Located about an hour south of Inlet, the Herkimer Diamond Mine KOA provides a unique geological experience. "The mines are so much fun. Some of the sites are crowded but each site has plenty of space. The whole park is well maintained," shares a visitor. Mining permits cost $14-$16 per adult and include all necessary tools.
Secluded waterfront sites: Brown Tract Pond Campground earns praise for its quiet setting. "Beautiful, peaceful large pond/small lake. Loons. Ducks and ducklings. Beaver. Canoes($20/day) and kayak rentals. Firewood for sale ($9?) or gather downed wood," explains a Brown Tract Pond Campground visitor. Sites are spaced generously with natural barriers between them.
Dark night skies: The Adirondack region offers exceptional stargazing opportunities at most campgrounds. At Rollins Pond, campers report minimal light pollution. "We can't wait to come back!" writes a visitor to Stillwater Reservoir about their stargazing experience. "Even in cold rainy weather we had a phenomenal time at Stillwater. Our spot had gorgeous waterfront to it, a stone fire circle where someone had left extra fire wood, and ample trees."
Clean facilities: Despite rustic settings, campgrounds maintain functional facilities. "Clean bathrooms, unsure if there were showers. Great beach area for hanging out & water was clean," notes a Brown Tract Pond visitor. Most state-operated campgrounds offer regular bathroom maintenance throughout the day.
Bear safety regulations: Some campgrounds enforce strict food storage protocols. "Odd bear rules that basically make you pack up your site when not in use, unless you have a trailer or RV. No bear proof lockers to help out like federal campgrounds," warns a Brown Tract Pond visitor. Campers should bring rope for hanging food or use vehicles for secure storage.
Limited cell service: Expect minimal connectivity throughout the region. "No cell service or WiFi," notes a reviewer at Brown Tract. A Rollins Pond Campground visitor adds, "If you're looking to break away from technology because you get zero service out there," this is an ideal setting. Emergency services remain accessible via park offices.
Shower availability varies: Not all campgrounds provide shower facilities. "They have flush toilets at most sites, but no showers. You can use showers at a nearby campground," explains a Brown Tract Pond visitor. When available, showers may require quarters or tokens, typically 25¢ for 5 minutes.
Water activities: Multiple campgrounds offer supervised swimming areas. At Delta Lake State Park, "The beautiful beach is well attended with life guards on duty keeping you safe but still allowing much fun on the very clean white sand." The beach opens daily from 11am to 7pm during peak season.
Kid-friendly programming: Some campgrounds organize regular activities for younger guests. "Very beautiful campground with tons of planned activities for the kids. Outdoor pool and clean shower/bathrooms," reports a visitor to Herkimer Diamond Mine KOA. Activities typically run weekends in summer months.
Playground access: Several campgrounds feature dedicated play areas. A Delta Lake visitor notes, "They have recently added electricity to the sites and a new playground at the beach. The concession stand at the beach will deliver to your camp site." Most playgrounds accommodate children ages 3-12.
Limited hookup availability: Many campgrounds offer minimal services. A visitor to Brown Tract Pond Campground notes, "No hookups. No onsite showers (can use another Golden Beach Campground showers a few miles away.) No cell or internet. Maybe wifi near entrance?" RVers should arrive with full water tanks and charged batteries.
Smaller rigs recommended: Narrow access roads pose challenges for larger vehicles. "The roadways can get a little tight between the trees, and can make for some interesting backing in," explains a Kayuta Lake Campground visitor. Sites accommodate RVs up to 30 feet at most campgrounds, with limited options for larger units.
Dump station locations: Not all campgrounds provide sanitation services. "We had to travel to another place, a little hassle," explains a visitor to DevilDoc Campsites. RVers should research dump station locations before arrival, with options available at select state parks and private campgrounds, typically charging $10-20 for non-campers.
