Lake Harris Campground

Lake Harris Campground is located on the northern shore of 275-acre Lake Harris, fed by the mighty Hudson River. Private campsites are sheltered among large hardwood trees, which offer splendid color contrasts throughout the year. While the lake offers many watercraft opportunities, many love visiting the Visitor Interpretive Center or the Santanoni Preserve Historic Site, both close by. Recreational opportunities include canoeing and boating, fishing, hiking, and bicycling.
