Boat access only defines the experience at this state-managed campground on Raquette Lake. The 18 sites include full hookups for RVs, though getting larger rigs across the water requires careful planning and local knowledge. Campers find private sites with direct lake access and lean-to shelters that eliminate the need for tents.
The secluded location keeps crowds minimal, making it suitable for off-leash dogs and quiet fishing. Black bears visit regularly, so proper food storage is essential. For additional options, see camping near Raquette Lake. Reserve early for the May through September season, as this boat-in spot has drawn families since the 1960s.
