They have the specific time to clean the shower which they closes from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM daily. I would say it is worth to wait because we get a clean shower stall that I can't complain!!! Thank you so much for keeping the bathroom and shower site clean much as you can!!! I would recommend anyone to go camping there and perfect place for children to play as well.

As state park campgrounds go, this is a very good one. It has a semi wilderness feel, which I like…read more Most of the campsites are only reachable by boat, some by boat or hiking, and there are a handful of sites that can be driven up to. The sites are relatively primitive with the only amenities being a picnic table, outhouse and either a fire ring or stone fireplace. There is also a bear box at most sites big enough for an average size cooler and a few bags of food. There are bear in the area so it's highly recommended (in fact it may be a rule) that all your food goes in the box when you are sleeping, or away from camp. About 1/4 of the sites have a small floating dock, while the rest you have to land your boat on shore. Some of the landings can be rocky and a little slick, so watch out. The sites are a little close together for my taste, but thankfully not every one was occupied when we were there, so we had space. If you need a boat to get to your site, canoes are available for rent ($20 per day). You can swim right from your campsite, there is pretty good fishing for bass and the scenery is spectacular. Though I much prefer the nearby wilderness lakes and rivers when I want to go paddle camping, this is a very decent alternative if you're with people who don't want to leave civilization too far behind. Most sites are no more than a 30 minute paddle from the landing and Long Lake is a few minute drive. So if you need ice, food, drinks or a Wi-Fi connection, it's only a short distance away. The campground is pretty popular, so book early

If you want to get away from it all without going too far from civilization, Forked Lake…read more(pronounced For Ked Lake) is the place to go. It's got 79 sites, some primitive ones that you have hike or paddle to and a few sites for trailers and RV's. There's no flush toilets or showers but there is potable water and out houses. The lake is gorgeous, quiet, and pristine. About a third of the land around the lake is state land, the rest is mostly owned by Whitney Industries and when they say no trespassing, they really mean it. The only negative to this is there are the most aggressive deer flies I've ever seen.

Five and a half weeks into my daughter's third summer here, she was sent home for her "safety" and…read morethe "safety" of others. My daughter has never been in trouble a day in her life. In the weeks leading up to her being sent home, she had a severe allergic reaction to a bee sting for the first time in her life. She received appropriate treatment, was evaluated at the hospital and returned to camp. A couple of weeks later, she had what was assessed as an allergic reaction to some candy she had eaten from the canteen and again was treated at the hospital. She had no known food allergies prior to this and was told at the hospital that they were not sure what caused the reaction. In the days/hours leading to her dismissal, she had gone to the nurse to get a band-aid after scratching herself on the metal bed frame in the bunk. The nurse asked her about cutting which my daughter denied. In her words, "why would I go to the nurse if I was doing that?". While waiting in-line at the canteen thinking that she had had an allergic reaction to something she had eaten there, she was apparently overheard discussing this with a friend. This was interpreted as her trying to eat something to purposely make herself sick and then also trying to get other kids to eat things that would make them sick. Carolyn, the director cited concerns of her inciting TikTok challenge. If you know my daughter, which they should have but obviously didn't, this quite frankly is insane. I was called to pick her up on Wednesday. We live five hours away and were scheduled to be at camp on that Friday for parents' weekend. My daughter had the lead in one of the plays. She was told to pack her things but not tell anyone that she was leaving and was admonished by the head counselor Jade for telling her friends what was happening when her bags were packed in the middle of her bunk. The camp director, Carolyn told her that she could eat with her friends if she "behaved". My daughter had no understanding of what she had done or what was going on. No one had a conversation with her to clarify anything that had been overheard. They would not share who overheard what so that my daughter could put comments into context. It was clear in those hours that Carolyn, had no idea what my daughter's last name was even when sending her home. This was after 11 1/2 weeks and ~$27,000 spent at this camp over the course of three years. She also had no idea how long she had been coming there. My daughter was not allowed to contact me as she requested during those hours. These people couldn't care less about your kid. They want your money and nothing more.

Then with so many State campgrounds reservations only or closed, we were looking at the side of the road. Found this place on the internet. It was dark when we arrived and the office was closed, but the owner could not have been nicer. Note it is cash only, but the site was level and the price for a full hook-up was only $32.

There are restrooms and changing rooms, also a refreshment stand. There's a set-up for kayak rentals. A short little boardwalk like structure enables you to be near the water but not get sand in your shoes. There are covered picnic areas and benches to stay out of the sun. There's a good amount of parking. They have several lifeguard chairs set up, but not sure if they actually have lifeguards? Really nice view of the scenery associated with Lake Champlain, right on the shore of it. I got more than I expected! Also, really like the access to the Island Rail Trail for more recreational fun!

A small lake, no large motorized boats are allowed, so it is quiet and peaceful. In fact, the greatest disturbances tend to be other campers who insist on playing their music loudly. Thankfully, there is usually a good amount of space between sites, and most people respect the quiet hours. While this campground is a long way away from where I live, it is definitely worth the drive. If you are interested in fall camping, I can't even being to describe how beautiful it is to wake up in the morning to see the lake surrounded by a riot of colors.

Located close to Indian Lake, the Lewey Lake Campground has multiple entrances off of Route 30N with the main campground the furthest south and what I have labeled on the Yelp map. Keep in mind that the address does not come up properly on Google Maps or Bing maps so look at the Yelp placement for more accuracy. We were at the furthest north campsites which are pretty isolated from everyone else. The sites our group stayed at were situated right next to a stream which was great for sleeping. You couldn't hear anyone around you and even with the goings on at our lower campsite we couldn't hear them at all. There only outhouses at this location of the campground but it is a short drive to the main sites that have real bathrooms and showers along with a nice, simple beach. Despite how close it is to Route 30N, I definitely felt isolated in a good way and would highly recommend staying there for people looking for some interesting camping with reasonably convenient location.

Intimate, yet private tents that are more like cabins (lights, ceiling fans, heaters, and a front porch with rocking chairs) dot the hillside above the rustic central meeting place, which is anchored by a huge fire pit that burns continuously throughout the season. I haven't even gotten to the food! A professional chef, at home creating in any cuisine, sets a bountiful and delicious table. I had never been glamping before.
