I went to this campground as a child with my grandparents and was never let down. This place has everything you could want in for a full festive camping experience. The people are awesome, the sights even more. The singing and bonefires were my all time favorite. One day I shall come up and visit again, because everything all the way to the hook game on the community building made this place feel...

Love this place! As a family, we have vacationed here every summer for going on 12 years now. Friendly and welcoming with family fun for all ages. Our children never get bored here and hate leaving when it's time to go. Highly recommend for family vacationing.

St Olaf's is a one-of-a-kind chapel in the woods. I love this place! I always make sure attend as many times as possible during my stay in the Adirondacks.
