RangerGreat location, careful with your site selection.
My friend is a local and recommended this campground for the sunsets. The rain made that difficult to confirm, but we loved the place. It’s the standard weird-ass New York thing where you have a site and you can park wherever the hell you want within it (so foreign to me), but you should spend some time with the map. Site 158 is probably the dopest (we were next door in 159), but there are some others near the lake that would be sweet. The further back from the lake, the more of a camping-in-the-deep-woods vibe. Looks like some folks leave a camper here all summer (can’t imagine spending that much, but it’s probably cheaper than a lake house) and many bring boats. I think if you’ve got a SUP, canoe or kayak, you’re gonna dig this campground in specific and the area in general.
ScoutGreat quiet place to camp
Have camped at this location the past two trips. Sites along the lower end of the grounds are the ideal place to be as they are better spaced out and more private. All sites are decent size and bathroom facilities are typical camp bathrooms.
ScoutTupper Lake Triad
It was a great time at this campground. The lake at the campground was fantastic and gave our pups a chance to swim. the facilities were clean and the campground was quiet at night. Overall a great time. We used it as our base camp to complete the Tupper Lake Triad.
