Road bikers and kayakers will find Crown Point Campground positioned along Lake Champlain's western shore, where paved access leads to sites with water views and historic fort ruins. The 18-dollar-per-night campground operates from mid-May through early October, accommodating RVs up to 60 feet with full hookups alongside tent sites.
Most sites face Lake Champlain and the Crown Point Bridge connecting New York to Vermont. Campers report open, sunny conditions with minimal privacy between sites, though several mention the views compensate for the close quarters. The flat sites include picnic tables and fire rings, while flush toilets and hot showers occupy a central bathhouse that reviewers consistently describe as clean.
Shari G. notes the campground features "an amazing dishwashing facility" alongside the standard amenities. The surrounding area supports road cycling across the bridge and lake kayaking, with boat launch access available. Historic attractions include colonial fort ruins and the Champlain Memorial Lighthouse, both walkable from campsites.
Port Henry, 2.3 miles northwest, provides the nearest resupply options for camping trips. For additional camping options in the region, see campgrounds near Port Henry. Reserve sites in advance during peak summer months when lake views fill quickly.
Description
Crown Point has a rich heritage dating back to the 1750's, and Crown Point Public Campground rests over battlefields and fort locations dating back to 1775. Remnants of structures and sites remain for visitors to view. The lighthouse built in 1858 and rebuilt in 1911-12, is positioned on the campground shore. It can be toured for the appropriate day-use fee and overlooks the 281,600 acre Lake Champlain. Positioned so that it is majestically overlooking Lake Champlain and neighboring Vermont, the Crown Point bridge looms on the northern shore of the campground and is one of the few bridges connecting New York State and Vermont. The entire Crown Point Reservation, including all 49 acres of the campground, are listed in the National Register of Historic Places and have been designated by the United States Secretary of the Interior as a National Historic Landmark.
