Old Forge Camping Resort spreads across a large forested property with multiple accommodation types, from tent sites to full-hookup RV spots that handle rigs up to 60 feet. The facility sits on sandy terrain near a fishing lake, with some sites offering direct water views. Multiple access points accommodate different camping styles, including drive-in, walk-in, and boat-in options.
The campground operates year-round and draws families who return season after season. Carlyne F. notes "a volleyball court, playground and even a lake to fish or rent paddle boards." Winter visitors access snowmobile trails directly from the campground, with seasonal rentals available on-site. The welcome center stocks essentials like firewood and breakfast sandwiches, plus camping gear for those who forget items.
Site density varies throughout the property, with some areas more tightly packed than others. Several reviewers mention the close proximity between neighbors, though this creates opportunities for socializing. RV campers should confirm site specifications when booking, as some spots have challenging grades or limited maneuvering room for larger rigs. The campground provides 30-amp and 50-amp electrical service, plus full water and sewer hookups.
The facility connects to Enchanted Forest Water Safari through a stay-and-play package, with shuttle service available to avoid parking hassles. Marc D. found it "close to the town of old Forge and Lakes" with easy walking access to local restaurants. For additional camping choices, sites near Old Forge include Nicks Lake Campground and Alger Island Adirondack Preserve.
Book cottages and premium sites well ahead—repeat visitors often reserve a full year in advance for peak summer and fall weekends.
