Woods

I’ve always enjoyed staying here. Check in was super easy. The campground are on two sides of the main road. If you go down to the lower section they have a private beach for the campground. It’s located right on Lake George.

The restroom/shower facilities are always well kept. The one time I did notice it wasn’t was on a holiday weekend. There were many party people there that weekend.

Sites range in size. Some have a slight change in grade. Woods. Our particular site had several small rocks through out. We also notice certain locations would have ponding after heavy rains. (We camped in some heavy downpours one weekend here)

Campground with a Beach

This campground is very close to our home. Our family has camped here multiple times. Pre pandemic it was less busy. Now, most every site is full. If you are looking for a site it’s best to book far in advance. If it’s last second, check periodically through out the day to see if there have been any cancellations. We have lucked out a couple times this summer.

We have seen varied conditions of the restrooms and showers but have always found the family restroom on the side of the buildings have always been in great condition when we go.

Sites range from larger and grassy to smaller and a little more rocky and dirt.

Camp store has a small variety of camp supplies, drinks and food.

You need to either bring your own fire pit or rent one from the store. Here you can also purchase bundles of wood here as well.

Just down the road; Lenny and Joe’s, Donahue’s Madison Beach Grille, Clam Castle, Hammonasset Package Store, Dunkin Donuts and Cohen’s Bagel Company. There is a Stop & Shop (grocery store) within a 10 minute drive.
