"For the last three years, we have traveled with dozens of friends and families to Rogers Rock Campground, which is tucked into the north end of the gorgeous 32 mile-long oasis that is Lake George."
"Ive been coming to this spot nearly every year since I was a little girl."
$18 / night
"Small and quiet campground, right at the Lake Champlain Visitor’s Center and bridge which crosses from NY to VT. Many sites have a view of Lake Champlain, as well as this beautiful bridge. "
"On river border of NY & VT. Nice views from the campsites, some places to walk around including a bridge. Lots of room for big RV, good hookups. Pretty quiet. Clean and well cared for."
"We selected it because it was nearby for our second outing with our new (used) R-Pod camper. Turns out it's a wonderful park."
"Wonderful state park, the waterfront sites are fantastic, they are wide so smaller units can be parked parallel to the lake. Bathrooms are clean, facilities are great. Easy access to the lake."
$18 / night
"We rented two spaces next to one another and had plenty of room for cars and all our tents. There were fire pits and picnic tables for use as well."
"Quiet campground, close to many hiking high peak trails. Love the caretakers dog Rookie."
$50 - $110 / night
"The campsites are just a short walk away from the working marina. So you will hear some equipment noise from folks maintaining and launching boats. However, it didn’t bother us at all."
"An amazing secluded spot overlooking the lake, with extremely helpful hosts. Definitely intend to return at some point."
$18 / night
"The waterfront sites are great, but you can be very close to your neighbors. The last site 15 is also right next to a very busy boat launch."
"This state campground offers a variety of wooded sites, some drive in and others remote boat-in (29R-31R)."
"Running through the campground are several hiking trails and they are worth it. Heart pond and Bear pond were nice, but unspectacular. Rock pond on the other hand was great."
"However it is a gateway to Pharaoh Lake Wilderness. Lots of hiking trails to many ponds and one lake most of which have lean tos and other sites which are free."
$18 - $23 / night
"Paradox Lake is beautiful all year round. I have been here numerous times throughout the year and it never disappoints."
"Adirondacks scenery, camping along the lake. Trail access from campground. Swim & boat on site. Modern but basic state park. Some tent sites nicely private."
$18 - $22 / night
"I was there mostly by myself, there were perfect trees to hang my hammock from and a wonderful breeze and views of the lake.
I was there Thursday through Sunday."
ScoutPlease note Crane Pond Road from the lower parking lot to the pond itself is NOT maintained and often gets very muddy. 4WD is required, if you go back there without it your day is gonna suck. From experience - if your vehicle isn't lifted you may come out with a ding or two from rocks and other things jutting out of the ground. Not fit for an RV in any capacity. The parking lot at the end of Crane Pond Road is relatively small but can fit at least 6 vehicles. There is an outhouse near that lot and a foot bridge off to the right, leading to Pharaoh Mtn Trail.
If you're staying to camp there are (9) sites only accessible by boat (I haven't found a map that numbers/letters them), except the one right by the parking lot. There is a trail leading to that one. My family and I have never used the other sites so I can only attest to the one which is freaking GREAT. There is a stone cliff near it that goes down about 12(?) feet and is great for fishing or jumping off of. There is also a stone area right by the water if you want to fish or just sunbathe. Stone fireplace on site. The view right there is beautiful and at night you can hear the loons (visible during the day as well).
ScoutThis is a state campground with some remote sites. However it is a gateway to Pharaoh Lake Wilderness. Lots of hiking trails to many ponds and one lake most of which have lean tos and other sites which are free. People are pretty quiet and respectful as opposed to Rogers Rock which was getting completely out of hand. Generators and loud music at all hours. Only takes a few bozos to ruin the camping experience for those around them. Then there are the many jet skiers who disregard not only the wake laws but have no consideration for those trying to load and unload boats at the launch as they speed by. Anyway, I love Putnam Pond! Also very nice paddling pond and decent swimming!
GuideMy family of 4 tent camped at Camp Skyland in June ‘24 on a waterfront spot showcasing gorgeous Lake Champlain with a mountain backdrop - chef’s kiss!
The owner (family owned and operated across generations) took my booking via phone and months later, checked us into camp upon arrival. He was super friendly and gave us great advice for cycling the Island Line Trail - highly recommend!!!! It was a fantastic campground with awesome views and the only thing I regret is not spending more time camping here & exploring the area.
The bathhouse & restrooms were a little small but it was totally fine. They had outdoor sink for washing dishes, too. The main check-in house had books and games to check out. But the BEST onsite entertainment was the lake. Definitely plan to kayak here & swim. Water was clean & clear. Fantastic lake for rock collecting!!! Very pretty and diverse geological landscape! We immediately started googling the rock formations and it was super interesting!
Definitely bring your bikes to ride the trail & catch the ferry! Such a unique experience to cycle across a lake! Photos & videos do not give the actual in-person views justice!
There are cabins to rent here, but owner said they book up in advance and it’s a YOY reservation that previous bookers get first access each year for dates.
Tip - mosquitos were intense here, so bring spray & plan accordingly! Our screened-in tent area saved us from being eaten up.
TravelerCamped here for a few days, no cell, no internet
TravelerStayed twice - first time at site 59 with a 28' travel trailer and second time at 56 with a tent. This is a great home base to explore from the Lake George region to Ticonderoga to day hikes or cycling. Both times the bathrooms and showers were immaculate. The staff does a fantastic job of maintenance. This is an old-growth forest area to a site on the west side of the road gives best Morning sun - sites 57 and 59 are good examples.
ScoutOwner aggressively berated my family for “checking out” 30 minutes late (no check out time was mentioned when we arrived, on camp map, in bathroom, etc). Very strange interaction, which nearly ruined my wife’s birthday, and which was the most memorably awful human interaction of my family’s travels all across eastern North America from Newfoundland to Florida. Camp is ok if a little run down… but watch out for female owner. Weirdly out of place in generally chilled out and hospitable Vermont
RangerAccess to campground is on a gravel road but my van did okay. It is small and primitive and there is a camp host who is very nice. Within walking distance from the campground are accesses to hiking / biking trails. Sites are spacious and shady.
LegendThis is a nice, quiet, and secluded CG for an overnight stay. We didn't have time to check out the area. Gravel roads and relatively level gravel sites. The FHUs were in good order. Slightly low water pressure. It was perfect for our needs. We would stay here again.
LegendMy husband and I really enjoyed our stay here 5 years ago due to the hiking along the river that was available. Sometime between then and now, the KOA moved down the road a couple miles, so when we arrived, we were really disappointed--now we just paid for overpriced "camping". Despite that, the staff was very friendly and the showers were warm.
