Beautiful but open

Just there last weekend. I wasn’t sure about this place but we just needed a place to stay to hit up the high peaks. Ended up being pleasantly surprised.

We had 2 sites and the campground wasn’t full so we didn’t have any neighbors. But as my title says it is open. So if we did have neighbors you would see them and they would be somewhat close. However the trees give it a nice feel even with the exposure. Site 19 didn’t have anyone to the right of us so that could work for some privacy. You could situate yourself in such a way that it will feel a bit private.

I didn’t check if RVs were allowed but there weren’t any which we were super happy about. We prefer places without them.

There was a bit of road noise but nothing major. It didn’t have tons of traffic all through the night maybe a few trucks but still pretty quiet.

The nights we stayed were pretty quiet. There was a party of some sort of party happening somewhere in the campground b/c once we were settled in our tent for the night, we could hear some activity but it sounded far and ended soon after. We also stayed up to 12am with a fire and chatting and no one came to yell at us (I know some places are super strict).

Bathrooms by campground standard were fine. Yes, there were bugs inside but the toilets always looked clean. One issue with them, was the flushing. I don’t know if broken or if they have always been difficult but they were so hard to flush. Not in the matter that I need super strength but you had to push or pull the lever almost to where I thought I was going to break the handles. I found the handicap stall worked fine so I just kept using that one. I asked my friends and they said the male toilets were the same.

The showers are free and separated from the bathroom so entry is directly from the outside. The bathroom/shower house had 2 showers. These weren’t the cleanest looking but they were very spacious so I wasn’t worried about touching the walls or anything. The water was nice and hot (not burning hot but hot enough). Pressure was decent and they had a removable shower head as well.

Att phones didn’t have service but Verizon ones did.

Lack of ⭐️ due to the openness & bathhouse issues.

Great Place 👍🏼

We rented two spaces next to one another and had plenty of room for cars and all our tents. There were fire pits and picnic tables for use as well. The staff was very accommodating and bathrooms/potable water were very short walks. We did a few smaller hikes but the best and longest hike was up Giant Mountain. I highly recommend this hike! Beautiful views and Trail was well marked. It's on more of the challenging side so bring plenty of water and snacks to keep your fueled. Overall a great campsite with even better hikes to take.

Beach yourself here

Great Lake views, and hiking trails nearby. Highly recommend renting a boat and having some fun too. With shopping just a bit away it is a great place to be in not so great weather too!

Good basecamp or stopoff

Picturesque wooded area paved with pine needles. Pros: convenient to regional activities, less popular (no big lake), isolated site along water (babbling brook to lull you to sleep). Cons: none, unless you want to be right along a big lake.

Sharp Bridge Campgrounds

We had a great experience here. The restroom were very clean. The sites were spacious. There wasn't a lot of party animals like you find at some camps. Everyone was there to hike or fish.
But the most important aspect was that there wasn't a million granddaddy long leg spiders lurking everywhere. Sorry I love the outdoors and creepy crawlies do not bother me. That is unless it's a spider then I turn into a helpless female. LOL

Gem just off the Northway

Checked in on 9/2 for one evening. The guy working the desk was very helpful with wood. The recent delivery of wood was sub-par, but he helped me with extra wood free of charge and fire starter. The campground received 4g LTE service. One of the quietest campsites I've ever stayed at in the Adirondacks.

Lovely area

A great location in the Adirondacks. The campground is in a forest of red and white pines, giving it an open feeling. The restroom seems pretty new, but half of the stalls were in real need of a good cleaning. Highway noise can be heard, but it's distant enough to tune out.
