I visit here every summer with friends. They have a great beach with swimming, kayak and boat rentals, a nature center next door you can walk too and the bathrooms are refurbished! It's absolutely beautiful!

Great campground!

I only spend a night here. Tagged along with some friends who were camping for the weekend.

This campground us relatively new, so amenities are abundant. Activities are a bit sparse, but the lake offers great swimming and boating. The biggest draw us the proximity to the Capital District. Less than an hour from Albany, so it's an easy way to get out of the city for a day or two.

Scenic site, accessible location 

great place, beautiful views and helpful staff. 

beautiful lakeside tent site

Nice bathroom facilities and dish washing station!

Great family camping 

It was fantastic! The workers there were friendly and the campers were respectable and kind. Hiking was near by and also the beach and if you wanted to drive to where the falls are and the overlook it wasn't too far! We had an amazing time!

Amazing!

Very friendly and helpful staff, well maintained property. Some of the lakeside sites have private foot trails down to the water which was very nice.

Nice place!

This campground has always been my go to. Now that I have kids,  I appreciate the playground area near the beach more.  All public areas including the bathrooms are very clean.
