    Rogers Rock Campground

    Roger's Rock

    It was a pretty good park. Wooded nicely. Big lots where we were. Down near the water the sites were pretty crammed together Not parked in a row like an RV park.

    Jones Pond NYSDEC Primitive Campsites

    awesome place

    I came from the Albany area. It took me about two hours 45 minutes and well worth the drive, I first stopped at site four and fully set up my Truck tent and the rest of camp, awesome location. You can walk down to the water, which is only a small ledge and enough space to put a chair, me and my German Shepherd were walking around the trails and we found site five which was absolutely beautiful and right on the water, I mean right on the water. I went back to site for packed up a bunch of stuff into the truck and left the truck tent in there since it takes about 30 minutes to take up and down, I had walked the road a couple of times to see if I could get my truck down there, definitely need four-wheel-drive, but it is possible to get your truck down there and I did, set up camp there spent the rest of the day the night and all of the next day. Absolutely beautiful the dog loved the water being right there, I definitely love this place. This is my first campsite that I found using the app highly recommend.

    Little Green Pond

    Peaceful spots under the pines

    12 designated camping spots. Some require driving down a bumpy access road that can be muddy after a rain. Sites are on the Pond. Pond has a small beach to swim. Tree covered sites.

    Mount Philo State Park Campground

    Hidden gem!

    Great little campground at a beautiful state park. The campground had widely spaced wooded sites and was exceptionally quiet. Very well-maintained! Recommend nearby Charlotte town beach for swimming ($10 for non-residents).

    Chittenden Brook Campground

    Great site

    This was a great site that feels secluded but isn’t. There’s quite a bit of space between each site so you can’t really see your neighbors which is excellent. The vault toilets were surprisingly clean besides the expected smell/flies. No running water or electricity. No cell service a few miles leading up the site, so download your maps in advance. There’s a 2.5 mile dirt road with a steady incline into the camp, which my subie had no issue with, but not sure how well an RV would fair.

    Didn’t see any bear, but take bear food precautions regardless. Each site has a fire pit, tent platform, and picnic table. The sites were well cared for. There were two dumpsters, one for recycling and one for trash, at the end of the loop. They are bear proof and almost me proof! The constant sound of running water from the brook was truly relaxing. I didn’t have issues with bugs (beginning of August) but I also didn’t stay in the camp during the majority of the day.

    All in all, a great campsite and I’ll definitely be back.

    Brookwood RV Resort

    Nice Campground

    Well maintained campground. Shop onsite with all you can possibly need. Beautiful pool. And easy access to Fort Ticonderoga, restaurants in town and Lake George area.

    Indian Brook Reservoir

    Family of 4 tent camping

    I mistakenly assumed they had drive up campsites. They do not. It was a 15 minute hike to the site, so pack light. If you have a kayak, you can transport your stuff over. Site was gorgeous and private, right on the reservoir. Really lovely setting!

    Shelburne Camping Area

    Oh My God. NO!

    Electricity would not work. We got an error on our control panel that said stop! Power source is not correct! Dan, one of the owners, said that somebody must have tried to hook a 50 amp into the 30 amp. box. He went about a half block to check breaker said that it was not flipped but it was wobbling pretty loose in there.

    My husband is a licensed electrician and of course had his own testing equipment. It showed 25 amp coming out of it. So he said move to spot 50. Well before we moved our vehicle, we went down there and checked it. He took off before we could. And guess what the exact same problem. We did not even hook into the second one. (#50)
    So he proceeded to tell us that it was our equipment that had gone bad. Even though we never plugged into spot 50!

    I had planned on one night thank God! He did refund our $52. we had to drive down the road and try to find someplace else at 7:00 in the evening. Another thank God, the Walmart about 10 or 15 miles down the road would allow overnight.

    So we are now on our way to our next location which is about a 7 hour drive. We are just hoping that they did not damage our equipment. It has been extremely stressful if you go there you better watch out!

    Lake George RV Park

    Best campground we’ve stayed at

    We’ve stayed here three times now and it never disappoints! Well maintained from the roads now to the gardens. They pay attention to every detail. Staff is super friendly and honestly seemed very happy to work there. Only complaint is we wished we lived closer so we could go more often. We will definitely be back!


Guide to Moriah

Camping options near Moriah, New York range from lakeside sites to remote forest settings across the Adirondack region. Most campgrounds operate seasonally from mid-May through early October, with peak temperatures reaching 75-80°F in summer and dropping below freezing by late September. Several sites offer boat-in camping for those seeking more secluded experiences on the area's lakes and ponds.

What to do

Hiking trails: Sharp Bridge Campground connects to several Adirondack hiking trails with varying difficulty levels. A camper noted, "We did a few smaller hikes but the best and longest hike was up Giant Mountain. I highly recommend this hike! Beautiful views and Trail was well marked. It's on more of the challenging side so bring plenty of water and snacks to keep your fueled."

Water recreation: Lincoln Pond Campground offers multiple water activities including swimming, fishing, and boating. "Nice grounds, clean beach. Great for kayaking because the water is calm. A couple of off site spots that are hard to snag," one visitor mentioned. The campground features both standard sites and remote boat-in locations for added privacy.

Historical exploration: Crown Point Campground provides access to significant historical sites. "Lots of history here, old forts. On river border of NY & VT. Nice views from the campsites, some places to walk around including a bridge," explains one camper. The campground sits adjacent to colonial-era fort ruins and offers educational opportunities through its on-site museum.

What campers like

Private island camping: Putnam Pond Campground features unique remote sites including an island location. "We have stayed here at the remote sites several times. Site roo5 is our favorite a private island all to yourself! Roo6 is good too but a little further to row out to," shared one enthusiastic camper. Boat rentals are available on-site for accessing these remote locations.

Marina-based camping: Bridgeview Harbour Marina offers a small but highly-rated camping experience with just four sites. "This is a very unique spot. The campsites are just a short walk away from the working marina. The guys that run the site could not have been nicer or more accommodating," according to a recent visitor. The waterfront "pumphouse" site receives particular praise for its privacy and sunrise views.

Calm atmosphere: Paradise Lake Campground provides a quieter alternative to busier destinations. "Love staying here, however unfortunately they've started closing earlier in the fall. Close to all the eastern high peaks. Large and secluded sites," noted one reviewer. The campground's location offers a peaceful base for exploring nearby hiking trails.

What you should know

Facility conditions: Most campgrounds in the Moriah area have basic amenities that may need updating. At Sharp Bridge Campground, a camper reported, "The restroom seems pretty new, but half of the stalls were in real need of a good cleaning.
