Overall impression of this place was very positive. I was visiting over a holiday weekend, and it…read morewasn't overly crowded. Was pulling a 42ft 5th wheel (that'll come into play later). Lots of good to say about this place, and 1 not so good thing, so let's go. The good: -It's in a pine forest, so there are many beautiful, mature trees everywhere. -It's a big, sprawling complex with lots and lots of sites. Being in the Adirondacks, there's a big demand for tent sites, so there are more than you'd normally see at a KOA, but there are definitely more than enough RV sites as well. -The sites themselves (both RV and tent) are spacious and well shaded with big trees. Just about every tent site I saw was hammock-ready. Some of the austere tent sites are way down the hill next to the Au Sable river. They're a bit of a hike, but worth it if you're into that. -The facilities here are nice and well maintained. From the numerous bath houses to the recreation facilities, everything is kept in working order. The camp store is pretty nice, and has just about anything you'd expect to find in one. -The staff is super friendly and courteous, however, they actually enforce rules here. I've been to many campgrounds where they didn't, so this is a good thing. From speeding on campground roads to unattended barking dogs, they hand out notices. Not in a mean or obnoxious way, just maintaining order in the campground. That's not to say that the place is a madhouse. It's actually very laid back. I didn't notice any obnoxious late-night partiers. A very family friendly atmosphere. The not-so-good: Remember all those big, beautiful trees? There are large ones on the corners of almost every row, and if you have a larger rig, splitting those uprights can be a daunting task. We arrived after hours and had to negotiate this obstacle course in the dark. If you lead every turn exactly right, it's (mostly) doable, but difficult. At one point, we watched a triple-axle toy hauler do this same dance, only to get to their site and find that it was not physically possible to get into it because of how closely spaced the trees were. They had to go around the block to a different site. The strategic removal of one tree at the end of each of the tighter rows, and a select few in some of the sites, would likely alleviate the problem. Overall, quite pleased width this campground. Would visit again.

Then with so many State campgrounds reservations only or closed, we were looking at the side of the road. Found this place on the internet.

The downtown Burlington is visible from the park. There's also tiny beach like sand area available. The adjacent park is also very popular among locals. The area bbq stations setup. Multiple playground areas with slides, swing, and marry go round. The park has two parking areas. One closer to main park, another one is further in, closer to the tree house. Both are paid parkings, but when we went on Sunday, we didn't have to pay. There are couple of volleyball fields next to the treehouse. We saw a bunch of people playing. The treehouse itself was underwhelming. Still it is a beautiful park to visit.

We stayed at site 29 and we initially were unable to locate it. The reason for this was because it was the only site that did not have a sign. After setting up our site, we got the sense that we paid to get a small patch of ground but nothing more... One thing I personally did enjoy was the sound of the Ausable river in the background but unfortunately that was about it Unfortunately there were numerous things that we felt disappointed about... - Site boundaries were also not clearly distinguished. - There is virtually ZERO privacy between sites. No bushes or trees. - Facilities were not in good shape - No dish washing station - No handsoap in the bathrooms (I know its camping but if you have bathrooms, there should be soap) - For some reason, there were tons of flies everywhere (could be that we were close to the river) - Little to no shade cover if you are staying in the inner loop - Day use area was tiny - Difficult to to spot when driving along Route 86 Overall, not a pleasant stay for us. We usually enjoy camping in NYS campgrounds because there is a certain quality to them. Unfortuantely, Wilmongton Notch did not display any of this.

Three basic, but very satisfying meals are provided each day (including a bag lunch to take with you on the trail). The bunks rooms serve their purpose as a place to crash after a long day on the trail. While you have to hike in almost 4 miles to reach the place you won't have to haul in a tent or cooking gear along with you : ) A good value and a valuable resource for those looking to explore the high peaks. There is no other place like this in the region.

This is your campfires at night and watching for shooting stars kind of camping. A nice disconnect from most modern amenities. 4G for cell phones is hit or miss. There's plenty to do during the day within driving distance though, so no one will be bored for long.
