Marathon is popular during peak season. Reserve 2-4 weeks in advance for weekends and holidays.
Most parks have check-in after 1:00 PM and check-out by 11:00 AM. Call ahead if you'll arrive late.
New York weather can change quickly. Pack layers and check the forecast for Marathon.
Don't miss local attractions near Marathon. Ask the camp host for hidden gems and trails.

Very nice, bear box included with no bears. There was a raccoon. Nice staff and bathrooms a short walk. Good beginners camping.

First time camping! It was awesome! Nothing to compare to yet, so... we had cool time. Ready for our next outdoor adventure!

The building itself was closed with no signs anywhere, so I'm not even sure you can go here other than camping. But I would not camp here. Way too many ticks! It's a cute area, though, with lots of nature and birds, birds, birds!!
