HTR Adirondacks

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Reservations are available at HTR Adirondacks, a private, full-hookup campground in Thendara, New York, where sites range from interior back-ins to waterfront positions along the river. The campground provides electric, water, and sewer hookups alongside showers, a dump station, and WiFi, making it a functional base for RV travelers. One concrete limitation worth noting before booking: multiple reviewers report that the electrical infrastructure struggles under peak-season load, with breakers tripping and power fluctuations affecting sites across the property.

Road access and site conditions have drawn mixed feedback. The internal roads and tight turns have caused problems for large Class A rigs, with at least one reviewer reporting rig damage on a waterfront lot. Sites are not uniformly gravel-based, and some have been reported as muddy and unleveled. Site cleanliness has also varied noticeably between visits, so arriving with low expectations on that front is reasonable. WiFi, by contrast, consistently earns positive mentions.

The river is the campground's main draw. Multiple reviewers describe tubing with kids, beach access, and swimming as the primary activities, and a playground is on-site. The waterfront sites face the river directly, and the upgrade from an interior site to a riverfront position is occasionally offered at check-in. Dogs are allowed, though off-leash dogs from neighboring sites have been a recurring complaint from campers who bring their own pets.

Campers wanting a different experience in the same area can compare options at Nicks Lake Campground, a public site roughly a mile to the west, or browse campgrounds around Old Forge for a wider range of choices.

Beautiful spot, close to neighbors

Beautiful and well kept campground. Stayed right on the river and was beautiful. Full hookups was nice. Nice campground if you have kids. Only downside is you are very close to the site next to you.

Before you make reservation

Spent this weekend on a "full hookup site" in our class A motorhome. We used a surge protector when plugging in to electric. It wasn't long before our power kept kicking off. We contacted the office and a staff member came and advised us that they do not have enough power for all of the campsites they have and we should not have our hot water on electric. Until we get our LP fixed that is all we have so no hot water the whole weekend and our power kept kicking off the entire weekend. When we left the sewer backed up on our site when we emptied out tanks. The staff is not friendly and our site was mostly mud. Just an FYI before you go. Wish I knew these things before I made reservations.

Total Dump

Total Shi!-Hole.

First let me start by saying that we are not new to rv parks or camping. We average about 10,000 miles a year in our coach.

This particular trip is 5,000 miles over 23 days and 18 campgrounds.

We are a “big rig”. 45 ft Class A with a 16ft tow.

This is NOT a place for big rigs.

We had booked a water front lot, full hookup and their most expensive lot. About $75 for the night.

The roads and lot signs are scarce and other than handing us a very inaccurate map of the property, we were on our own.

We damaged our rig getting to our lot. The roads and turns are not wide enough for a 45’ rig even with the tow disconnected to make turns.

Wide enough for travel trailers and 5th wheels but not a large class a.

The lots are also not gravel and not level. Ours was dirt and mostly mud and even with our leveling jacks down, we could not level due to the mud and lack of a gravel base.

Ours (lot 134) was filthy. Food, cigarette butts, trash and dog shit. Not to mention a pile of mulch. Maintenance seems non existent.

ZERO prep or cleanup was done on the site.

Water pressure good but water reaks of chlorine. DO NOT drink the water. Made the mistake of using it for morning coffee. So much chlorine its like pool water.

Internet very good. Only positive thing that I can say.

Power sucks. 30amp only but not truly providing that. We kept blowing the breaker and noted our lights flickering. We can easily run on 30amp. This is typical of an overbuilt park with not enough power for the campers onsite.

Once we were in and set, we first noted that other campers were cutting through our lot to get to the river. A constant flow of kids, adults and inner tubs all walking through our site.

We then went to walk our dogs and had numerous encounters by dogs not on leashes. We could not leave our dogs outside on their tether's due to worrying about unattended dogs.

The other thing is that cars and trucks were flying on the roads with no safe speed limit. It seems that they drop off tubers on the river near our lot and then the drivers fly out of here to go meet them downriver.

This is a low class dump made up of travel trailers, tent campers and fifth wheels. No maintenance, no enforced rules. No pride in the property or operation.

Not a place for large coach owners or seasoned RVrs who know how the rest of the country is.

We will not be back and strongly advise any Class A big rig owners to avoid.

Great Campground

This is my first time at the campground. I was greeted by the new manager. I selected 30 amp interior full up interior full hook up back in site but they gave me an upgrade to a waterfront site. (For an interior price) . They even helped us on backing up our camper. The view took my breath away. The campground has all amenities necessary to a great camping experience, from electricity to water and sewer hookups. It also has Wi-Fi. There’s a playground and a beach area . The place is very clean and was decorated for the 4th of July festivity. They even had fireworks. I’ll recommend this place.

Worst owners don’t go

Worst campground ever been too and we have been to a lot as full time rvers! They are unprofessional and rude. Called us one night Well we weren’t at the rv at the time to do what they wanted. Then we get a very rude and unwanted nasty text from the other owner saying we were rude on phone and that we caused so many other problems. Which didn’t! so unprofessional and not called for when reading other reviews everyone had same problem with rude and yelling owners always watching you like you’re on big brother! Just avoid at all costs we can even show the messages they sent.

Perfect slice of paradise

It’s hard to pick where to start with this review.. it was a very very last minute change in our trip. I remembered how much fun we had here 12 years ago. I called and had a pleasure of speaking with both the owner and his daughter. They were very accommodating and so easy to work with. They had a cabin big enough for us and at a very reasonable price. I was traveling with 4 teenage boys (13-14) for my sons 14th birthday. Our whole plan was to camp there and spend 1 1/2 days at the water safari.. that never happened. The boys were having so much fun swimming and riding their inner tubes down the creek with little rapids. They spent almost every waking moment in the water..rain or shine that’s what they did. There was only rain so they were safe.. The boys were never bored and loved walking around the camp site. We stayed for 2 nights .. if work would have allowed we would have stayed longer. I have to say this was the most relaxing 2 days I have had in a very long time. We have already started planning our trip for next year at Singing Waters.. that trip will be longer than this one. Best experience and best time we’ve had in a very long time.
