GuideIt’s a nice relatively small campground in a pretty setting. Sites are fairly close, and there’s definitely some longer tempura residents, but it’s well kept and seems like a nice place to stay.
ScoutWe chose Kings Bay because we wanted to spend most of our trip outdoors and close to Lake Champlain. One afternoon we borrowed a paddleboat and just cruised around for a while with no real destination. Came back, made dinner at the camper, and called it a day. Hard to complain about that kind of vacation.
ScoutWe stayed here because we wanted to spend a few days exploring the Adirondacks without moving the RV every night. It worked perfectly for that. We headed out early each morning, explored somewhere new, and had our camper waiting for us when we got back.
ScoutKings Bay has such an easygoing feel. Friendly people, beautiful surroundings, and a nice place to enjoy a few quiet days.
ScoutReally peaceful spot with a great view of the lake. We spent most of our time outside and had a very relaxing stay.
GuideGood size campground with three loops. 2 shower / restroom facilities. Many of the sites are simply grass. There are a few gravel ones. The staff has no problem with driving on the or parking on grass. All sites have a firepit. Wood can be obtained locally. There is no store at the camp. There is only one dump station. There is a boat launch with limited trailer parking although when we stayed (Aug 2026) the water was only 18 in to 2 ft deep at docks. Heavily choked with vegetation. Shower facilities were clean enough but could use more attention, heavy cobwebs at lights, corners and edges of shower pretty dark with mold. Plenty of fresh water spigots throughout the camp. Camp is on the banks of lake Champlain, although only a couple sites have a lake view. Ruins of two pre-revolutionary war forts are within walking distance and offer a great introduction to life in the early 18th century. Fort Ticonderoga is a 30 min drive and will take most of the day to tour. Well worth the trip. Only 3 min drive to Vermont. I would stay again.
ScoutKings Bay has become our favorite place to spend the warmer months. We enjoy the quiet mornings, casual afternoons, and evenings outside when the campground starts to settle down.
TravelerThe spot seemed nice enough and had other campers set up at 8p on a Monday. The road was not good for my 2008 Prius and I messed up the underside trying to turn around
ScoutOne of the things we enjoy most about Kings Bay is how easy it is for different generations of our family to enjoy the same trip. The kids can stay active and explore, while the adults have plenty of time to sit outside, talk, and relax. We have celebrated birthdays and family get-togethers here, and it has become a place that everyone looks forward to visiting. There is something special about having a familiar campground where so many memories have been made.

Explore historical sites: Hike through abandoned settlements in the Green Mountains. "There are lots of old foundations hidden on the trails that are fun to discover," mentions Rita M. about Little River State Park Campground. These remnants of former communities date back to the early 1800s.
Visit local breweries: The Waterbury-Stowe area contains numerous craft beer destinations. "When we don't have time to hike up Mt. Mansfield, we splurge on a drive up the toll road. Lastly, we always stop at the Alchemist for a case or two of Heady Topper to bring home," shares Tara S. about her Smugglers Notch visits.
