I'm torn between 2 or 3 stars. I think what it comes down to is what type of camping you are interested in. If you are into tenting it and no power, water, etc... This is your place. The sites are huge and well spaced out. They are pretty level and more of a sandy/dirt surface. Perfect and plenty of space for a camper. There are a sufficient amount of bathrooms spaced out. There is only one building with 4 showers for women and 4 for men. They had great water pressure. They were HOT as can be! There is a timer button in the outer area that you push that turns on the water. You can't control the temp or on/off. You can run generators from 9-11am and 4-7pm. It is very shady in there. Mid-day at our site, you almost felt like it was getting dark out already. There is a beach that the lifeguard chair clearly had not been moved this year. There is nothing to occupy the kids, such as a playground, rec center, etc... The mosquitos were insane! Maybe it was because there was very little meat - there were only 2 other campers on our huge loop. If there was power, I think we would be more likely to return. Without the power and activities for the kids, if in the area again, we would seek someplace else out. read more

If you want to sort of rough it, but still have access to showers, flush toilets, and clean water, Limekiln Lake is the place for you. I stayed here for one night in early July while hiking in the region. $20 per night (plus a $9 reservation fee) might be a little steep compared to other states, but it gets you clean restrooms, free showers, and a large site with a picnic table, fire pit, and bear locker. Yes, I said bear locker. They make you sign a form saying you won't leave food out for the bears when you check in. When I say the site was big, I mean it. Easily space for 2 cars, a decent-sized trailer, and 2 tents on the site and you'd still have room to walk around. My 2-person tent and small car made the place feel empty. Potable water was on the other side of the access road and toilets a short walk away. A wooded buffer space of 20 or so feet separated adjacent campsites, so it didn't feel like anybody was encroaching on my space. No cell service, so I could truly disconnect. The missing star is for a few things. One, the slightly-high price, which admittedly is far cheaper than most other lodging in the region. Two, the only thing sold at the campground is ice, so make sure to buy your firewood and other supplies before you arrive. I don't care about this myself, but if you want utility hookups for a trailer, they don't exist here. read more

This campground is for those that want to really venture out. The fire pits are specifically made for making food on them. Bear boxes provided! I believe there are electric sites but mostly dry camping. There are very few bathrooms and maybe 2 shower houses. The shower houses have hours when open. The waterfront sites looked beautiful. The beach was really nice. They had a lifeguard so only swimming when they are there. This campground is very close to Old Forge, Bald Mountain, and Rocky Mountain Summit. read more

Limekiln Lake State Campground - Campgrounds Near Me - Inlet, New York

Well... I wanted to like the place. The sites are big, sort of private, and they are for the most part quiet (depending on your neighbor) The site was covered in litter when I checked in, the week I was there I saw the restroom cleaned once... by the end of the week it was filthy and no TP. The staff all were nice enough but they did not really do anything. I would stay again, but I honestly expected more. If the expectations are set low enough you will be quite happy. read more
