Lincoln Pond Campground, near New Russia, New York, is a charming spot for those looking to enjoy the great outdoors. With a mix of wooded and waterfront sites, it’s perfect for tent campers and RVers alike, offering a laid-back vibe that many visitors appreciate.
The campground boasts clean facilities, including bathrooms with showers, which are a hit among campers. You’ll find a lovely beach area that’s great for swimming and kayaking, with calm waters that make for a relaxing day on the lake. As one visitor noted, “Nice grounds, clean beach. Great for kayaking because the water is calm.”
For those who crave a bit of solitude, there are remote sites available, but be aware that the waterfront spots fill up quickly. Hiking trails nearby provide a chance to explore the stunning natural beauty of the area, and if you’re into fishing, make sure to grab your license before you arrive since cell service can be spotty.
While some campers mentioned that the sites can be close together, the overall atmosphere is friendly and welcoming. Whether you’re here for a weekend or a longer stay, Lincoln Pond Campground offers a peaceful retreat with plenty of opportunities for outdoor fun.
