The amphitheater hosted many famous entertainers during its heyday. In 1957 the movie Marjorie Morningstar starring Gene Kelly and Natalie Wood was filmed on the grounds of Scaroon Manor.

The Best Camping Near Adirondack, New York

very clean and restful campsites. Has the original amphitheater. Very friendly staff and park Ranger. Sites are very well kept and most are camper friendly. I go several times a year. Beach is always clean and well kept with toys for the kids kept there on the beach for all kids to use. 

Quite fun and Restful 

We stayed on their ‘rustic campsite’, which was a short 900 ft hike from the car. Our camp spot had a picnic table, fire, grate and own outhouse 🤗. We also used the showers on the main site, which was a short drive away. Could see the lake from our site and the spots were relatively spread out. 

There is a cute town down the road which has a liquor store, grocery store, bakery, coffee shop and a couple of bars.

Would recommend!!

Tent on the Lake

This campground is awesome!  There plenty of spaces with HUGE sites. There is a beach, fishing dock, pavilion and plenty to do in the area. This is dispersed camping but every site has water nearby. The water is difficult to get as you can’t connect a regular hose. Luckily a neighbor helped us out. There is a dump station. The staff aren’t that friendly but the campground more than makes up for what they lack. 

Gorgeous! Perfect place!

Large spots new and clean restrooms. Just next to the lake for a swim. So many mosquitos

Beautiful large spots

We booked this spot sight unseen as there were no pictures available. Tucked back in the woods and quiet. The front section was much wider open and more state parkish. Excellent showering facilities and a cook wash up station that was well maintained. 

Peaceful park

We stayed in the rustic campground right down the road from the main campground. We parked in a lot and walked about 5 minutes to the campgrounds on the lake. They were beautiful and well kept, even had a small pile of fire wood for us. 

The site had a relatively nice outhouse, a picnic table, a fire pit and a grate for grilling. It was right on the lake. There were a ton of other people in the main campground but only one other camper in the rustic area. $25 a night to camp. 

There was some noise from the highway but not too bad. Coyotes were howling all night and definitely heard some around our campground. 

Excellent views on the lake 

It’s in a great location. Clean, quiet, and well taken care of. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. No full hookups. Poor cell reception
