SUMMARY PRESENTED BY
Moriah, New York features mixed-use campgrounds scattered throughout the Adirondack region, with several established sites offering diverse camping experiences. Rogers Rock Campground, Crown Point Campground, and Sharp Bridge Campground provide accommodations for both tent and RV campers, with varying levels of amenities. Most sites operate seasonally, typically from mid-May through early October, with facilities ranging from basic tent sites to full hookup RV spots. Several campgrounds, including Putnam Pond and Lincoln Pond, offer cabin options for those seeking more sheltered accommodations.
Seasonal considerations heavily impact camping opportunities, as most facilities close during winter months. The camping season generally runs from May through October, with peak visitation occurring in July and August. Many campgrounds require reservations, particularly for waterfront sites which fill quickly during summer months. Roads to most campgrounds are well-maintained, though some secondary access routes may become rough after rain events. Cell service varies widely throughout the region, with most campgrounds reporting limited connectivity. Visitors should check individual campground policies regarding pets, fire restrictions, and quiet hours before arrival. A camper noted, "It's a very quiet and clean campground, but not a lot to do. Beach is rocky and down a staircase, but may be good for fishing and some swimming."
Waterfront locations remain the most sought-after camping spots in the Moriah area, particularly those along Lake Champlain. Crown Point Campground receives positive feedback for its lake views and historic surroundings. As one visitor commented, "The best part of this campground is the view of Lake Champlain and Vermont." Several campgrounds feature beaches, boat launches, and fishing access, making water recreation a primary draw. For those seeking more seclusion, Lincoln Pond offers remote boat-in sites that provide greater privacy. Campers frequently mention the region's hiking opportunities, with numerous trails accessible from campgrounds. Bridgeview Harbour Marina, though smaller with only four sites, receives exceptional reviews for its secluded waterfront location and helpful hosts. The area's mix of historic sites, water recreation, and forest settings creates varied camping experiences throughout the region.

ScoutLake Champagne Resort Vermont, Inc.
A Gem in Vermont
Simply said, if you like a well maintained place with a swim beach, floating dock, grass galore, space to stretch out, and more, this is the place. It’s beautiful. As a bonus, it’s cost effective over other RV parks. If you want free, nope. If you want wild open spaces, nope. You a great lush big clean park that feels like your Owen estate, then come check this place out. We will be back.
Kane W.ScoutAusable Pines RV Park & Campground
Exploring And Camping
We wanted to visit Lake Placid but preferred bringing our RV instead of booking a hotel for the whole trip. We spent a full day around Lake Placid and the surrounding area, then drove back to Ausable Pines that evening. I liked having some separation between the busy sightseeing part of the day and where we were staying. The next morning we took our time making breakfast before heading out again. It gave the trip a nice balance between exploring and camping.

First Longer Trip
This was our first longer trip with our new fifth wheel and we were definitely nervous about taking it somewhere unfamiliar. We had plenty of room for our setup and having full hookups made the whole experience much easier than expected. By the end of the stay we were already talking about where to take it next.

Nice spots, clearly marked. Only if humans would practice leave no trace. Take all items you brought with you, out with you.

Beautiful lakeside campground
Shadey lakeside campground with large sites, mine has easy lake access.

We Wanted To Spend A Few Days
We stayed here because we wanted to spend a few days exploring the Adirondacks without moving the RV every night. It worked perfectly for that. We headed out early each morning, explored somewhere new, and had our camper waiting for us when we got back.

Crown Point Campground
NY State park campground. Worth staying at
Good size campground with three loops. 2 shower / restroom facilities. Many of the sites are simply grass. There are a few gravel ones. The staff has no problem with driving on the or parking on grass. All sites have a firepit. Wood can be obtained locally. There is no store at the camp. There is only one dump station. There is a boat launch with limited trailer parking although when we stayed (Aug 2026) the water was only 18 in to 2 ft deep at docks. Heavily choked with vegetation. Shower facilities were clean enough but could use more attention, heavy cobwebs at lights, corners and edges of shower pretty dark with mold. Plenty of fresh water spigots throughout the camp. Camp is on the banks of lake Champlain, although only a couple sites have a lake view. Ruins of two pre-revolutionary war forts are within walking distance and offer a great introduction to life in the early 18th century. Fort Ticonderoga is a 30 min drive and will take most of the day to tour. Well worth the trip. Only 3 min drive to Vermont. I would stay again.

LegendMoose Hillock Camping Resorts
Huge sites but sloped, dirty, and pricey
We spent a long weekend at Moose Hillock in Fort Ann, New York, to visit Lake George. This is a difficult place for me to review. But I’ll do my best to share my experience.
The pool is the main attraction here and probably the largest and most ridiculous I’ve ever seen at a campground. Great for young kids.
THINGS I LIKED:
— The sites are enormous and private, probably the biggest sites we’ve ever seen at any campground we’ve stayed at.
— The mature trees are everywhere, great for privacy.
— It’s located about 25-minutes to the heart of Lake George. Easy drive away but not in the loud and busy area.
— The camp store is pretty good and sells snacks, drinks, basic supplies, and souvenirs.
THINGS I DIDN’T LIKE SO MUCH:
— Our site(# 709) was sloped, so much that even with leveling boards under the rear wheels, rear jacks fully extended and front jacks fully retracted, we couldn’t level. That’s annoying and so easily fixed by a campground this size with this array of equipment and resources.
— Except for the entry roads, the rest of the park is gravel and dirt, which was extremely dusty. Our vehicles and our stuff were instantly covered by this dusty dirt which was a never-ending battle to keep outside.
— I’m ok paying premium money for a great site, but this site wasn’t matched to the price. I paid$647.38 for 3-nights. That’s$215.79 per night.
WOULD WE COME BACK?
Probably not. For me, having a level site that’s not covered in dirt and dust is important— especially when it costs$215 per night. There’s a much nicer park about 10-minutes away(closer to Lake George) where we’ve stayed in the past. The sites are smaller, but they’re level.

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. Highway noise can be heard, but it's distant enough to tune out." Several campgrounds have variable shower quality and limited amenities.
Cell service limitations: Coverage varies significantly throughout the region. One visitor to Rogers Rock noted, "Cell service is iffy," while another at Lincoln Pond mentioned getting only "1 bar" of service. Verizon typically has better coverage than other carriers across the area.
