Many campers appreciated the spacious, well-maintained sites and friendly staff service. The clean facilities and popular on-site ice cream shop add value, while the peaceful atmosphere stands out even during busy periods.

So quiet and comfortable!

We decided last second to stay at this place and are so glad that we did! They were so friendly and the campground is very well kept. It was fairly full and still extremely quiet. Everyone we met was very friendly and easy going. The bathhouse, although nothing fancy, was extremely clean and well-maintained. The ice cream shop at the entrance was a huge bonus. We both ordered a small and it was near enough to consider a full meal! A very pleasant stay!

Great weekend getaway.

Stayed at this campground over the weekend to visit the Crystal Grove herkimer diamond mine in St. Johnsville, NY!

Campground was gorgeous, sites were well spaced out, and we had a great time. 100% will return.

Absolutely would go back!!

I’m sorry but I gotta start by saying that we ate ice cream every night!!! The “office” is an ice cream shop off the side of the road that all the locals apparently love based on lines and what we tasted!

Site was HUGE! Website stated sites were 30Amp so very happy to have found 50Amp upon arrival! We paid for wood and the owner drove it to our site and gave us half a tree for $10!! Navigating the campground was easy and they had social fires by their pond in the evenings. Plenty to see nearby or just stay in.

Truly loved camping here and will go back if the option ever presents itself again.
