The staff was not educated about the park and the sites were soft sand

We made reservations 8 months in advance. All of our group requested 50amp pull thru as we are all class A towing with our shortest coach at 34’ and longest 45’. When we arrived and assigned sites we were given the WORNG DIRECTIONS to our sites. This is a VERY tight camp ground so 4 of us had to circle back around the entire camp ground and start over. Only 1 site was pull thru but it was so unleveled we could not put our jacks down. 5 of us had to unhook our toad then 2 of the sites were to small for our rigs. We had to go back to the office to request bigger sites. 5 sites only had 30 amp! The staff acted like the hated their jobs and the customers as well. Overall this is the worst experience I have ever had at a RV park. It took almost 2 hours (no staff interaction) for our group to set set up. Do yourself a favor keep driving don’t stop here…

Idk

Wanted to like it but it feels too crowded and overused. Is this a man made lake? Not bad fishing and plenty of convenienves but couldnt launch our kayaks from our premium watersite. Definitely not worth the price.

Old Forge Camping Resort, NY

My family and I have been visiting Old Forge Camping Resort for 20+ years. This is one of the most family friendly resorts and a perfect weekend getaway for those living in other parts of New York State. The visitors/welcome center has everything you need, including firewood, sweatshirts and homemade breakfast sandwiches. There is endless RV camping, tent camping, cabins and cottages available. Make sure you book far enough in advance. We typically book 1 year prior for the cottages.

The bathrooms and grounds are well maintained and accessible from wherever you are in the park. There are hiking, biking and running trails galore. A volleyball court, playground and even a lake to fish or rent paddle boards. There is a bus from the campground that takes you to enchanted forest safari, which is a great way to avoid parking. Would recommend 100%

Nice quiet campground this time of year. Sites are nice. Many have lake view. Walk to town is about two miles. Many local restraunts to choose from. Town is a tourist town. Open now only for weekends

Winter is the In Off Season

Skiing and snowmobiling is the biggest draw for the winter. Dry cabins and cottages with bath and shower are available for weeks, weekend or seasonal. Staff will help with snow removal and Valentine Weekend planning. Enjoy trails right from your cabin connecting to the Adirondacks for snowmobiling.

Winter is the In Off Season

Close to skiing. Snowmobiling is the real reason to come here. Dry cabins or cottages with bath and shower are available. Snowmobile trails are accessible from the campground and seasonal rentals are available. The staff will help you with snow removal and we have even had Valentine Weekend with chocolates and Champagne delivered to our cabin. Call them and plan a winter weekend with no worries.

Comfortable

This campground does not have grills at the primitive tent sites. So bring your own or buy a rack for $20 at the camp store. Sites are spacious. Staff was very friendly.

Family friendly and lots of wildlife

Sites are close together and beware of the bear. We had one or two in and around our camp site almost every nite. Heed the warnings and lock car doors and don’t leave coolers or grills out. It has a pretty little pond for swimming and paddle boats a short hiking trail around the pond and the staff were all very friendly

Tight spots friendly neighbors

The sites are rather tight and on top of each other but that just makes for closer neighbor's. With the connection of the stay and play with enchanted forrest water safari it makes for a great time. The ability to see bears through the camp ground and a great lake for kayaking there is something for everyone.
