I rolled in about 3:00 without a reservation and found many open campsites. You have to make the reservation online but I was able to do this since the site has a pretty good cell phone signal.

My second time here and my wife's first. She loved the campgrounds, so much so that we will be booking Labor Day 2025 as soon as we are able to. The staff is beyond friendly and always able to answer any questions we had. They really take care of the grounds here. We love the fact that it's a small campground.

She loved the campgrounds, so much so that we will be booking Labor Day 2025 as soon as we are able to. The staff is beyond friendly and always able to answer any questions we had. They really take care of the grounds here. We love the fact that it's a small campground. The pier offers a place to fish or just go stare at the stars. Firewood is on the expensive side, $14 for 6 or 7 pieces of wood that burn quickly. Ice is reasonable at $3 a bag. The one thing I would suggest is updated bathrooms/shower facilities. Showers were like warm at best. They have a playground for the kids. Thanks for a great Labor Day weekend. See you next year!!!!

Great place and very conveniently located. Staff was very friendly. Camp sites are a bit close together. Bathrooms and showers are extremely clean but could use taller privacy doors and locks.

Very nice campground on the banks of Lake Champlain nestled below the beautiful Crown Point Bridge. The spacious sites are mostly level, but only one actually has a lake view. There are both shaded and exposed sites. There is potable water in the campground, but no electricity OR dump station. The bathrooms are dated but very clean. The showers were lukewarm AT BEST…. Brrrrr. Campground admiss... Very nice campground on the banks of Lake Champlain nestled below the beautiful Crown Point Bridge. The spacious sites are mostly level, but only one actually has a lake view. There are both shaded and exposed sites. There is potable water in the campground, but no electricity OR dump station. The bathrooms are dated but very clean. The showers were lukewarm AT BEST…. Brrrrr. Campground admission gives admission to the Crown Point Lighthouse and the very well done and interesting Fort Crown Point historical site. There’s a great breakfast joint on the VT end of the bridge. 🥓🍳🥞. With it WeBoost antenna we had enough Verizon signal to stream.

This is a great location. The Campground itself is pleasant and clean, with a lot of grassy areas. Not much in the way of privacy though. But I think the real attraction here is the history and points of interest within walking distance.

The Campground itself is pleasant and clean, with a lot of grassy areas. Not much in the way of privacy though. But I think the real attraction here is the history and points of interest within walking distance. The lighthouse you see in photos is a very short walk from your campsite, with great views of the lake and bridge from there. You have the bridge itself you can walk across(to Vermont), with some pretty spectacular views of the area. Directly across the road from the campground are the Fort Crown Point ruins, which are amazing to walk into and experience. I highly recommend. Overall a decent campground with a lot of interesting history.
