    Lewey Lake Campground - Campsite 34 Perspective

    Lewey Lake Campground

    (5 reviews)

    It has been one of my favorite campground for years now, and obviously more people have discovered…read morethis wonderful place, as it is almost impossible to get a lakeside campsite these days. A small lake, no large motorized boats are allowed, so it is quiet and peaceful. In fact, the greatest disturbances tend to be other campers who insist on playing their music loudly. Thankfully, there is usually a good amount of space between sites, and most people respect the quiet hours. While this campground is a long way away from where I live, it is definitely worth the drive. If you are interested in fall camping, I can't even being to describe how beautiful it is to wake up in the morning to see the lake surrounded by a riot of colors.

    This was one of the more unique camping experiences I've had at a NYS campground and I really…read moreenjoyed the experience. Located close to Indian Lake, the Lewey Lake Campground has multiple entrances off of Route 30N with the main campground the furthest south and what I have labeled on the Yelp map. Keep in mind that the address does not come up properly on Google Maps or Bing maps so look at the Yelp placement for more accuracy. We were at the furthest north campsites which are pretty isolated from everyone else. The sites our group stayed at were situated right next to a stream which was great for sleeping. You couldn't hear anyone around you and even with the goings on at our lower campsite we couldn't hear them at all. There only outhouses at this location of the campground but it is a short drive to the main sites that have real bathrooms and showers along with a nice, simple beach. Despite how close it is to Route 30N, I definitely felt isolated in a good way and would highly recommend staying there for people looking for some interesting camping with reasonably convenient location.

    Old Forge Camping Resort - Our little cabin

    This review is LONG overdue. We've camped here dozens of times over the years. Starting in the mid…read more1970's when this was still a KOA owned by the nicest guy named John. We camped in tents, a pop-up tent camper, a truck camper, a travel trailer, and lastly, in their cabins. Bottom line, it didn't matter where we slept. We always came back to this same campground. They are in a perfect location in the Adirondack Mountains and in walking distance to the town of Old Forge and Enchanted Forest Water Safari & Amusement Park. There's a nice pond for swimming, fishing, and non motorized boating. There's beautiful hiking trails & plenty of wildlife. Yes, including bear, which we saw on most of our trips there. Please don't feed them! They'll normally not bother you if you leave them alone. Feed the chipmunks instead. This is honestly one of my favorite places I've ever visited, filled with many special family adventures and memories. Do yourself a favor & go there, start a campfire, and start making your own memories. Full disclosure, these pictures are from my sisters recent visit. Not mine. I'll look for mine to add later. 2024-46

    Glad we came again…read more We came once in 2006 and it was memorable, so much that my boys, now grown wanted to go again. So, in October of 2023, me and my two sons and my soon-to-be daughter-in-law, came for a visit, and we were determined to return. So, this year, my two sons, and my now daughter-in-law came before the summer season. We rented two cottages (these are great), next to each other, and this year our cottages had the best view of Lake Serene, and we were greeted with deer and a duck, we named "quackers" because he was a lone duck and kept joining our group. We will come again when we are able. I loved it, and we all needed a break. It's the kind of vacation you don't have to do anything but sit around a fire, eat and talk, even over the screens of your phone, where you're taking more photos than using the device.

    I'm torn between 2 or 3 stars. I think what it comes down to is what type of camping you are…read moreinterested 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.

    If you want to sort of rough it, but still have access to showers, flush toilets, and clean water,…read moreLimekiln 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.

    I was shocked when my sister said she wanted to go camping to celebrate her birthday. She despises…read morecamping. Camp Orenda is not your typical campground. Intimate, yet private tents that are more like cabins (lights, ceiling fans, heaters, and a front porch with rocking chairs) dot the hillside above the rustic central meeting place, which is anchored by a huge fire pit that burns continuously throughout the season. I haven't even gotten to the food! A professional chef, at home creating in any cuisine, sets a bountiful and delicious table. I had never been glamping before. I worry that I'll have a hard time going back to regular camping. Even with my blow up mattress. Thank you, David! This was a most amazing experience!

    Alright guys, want the outdoors but still want to live like a New Yorker? Or want a place where you…read morecan bring the girlfriend? This is what I'd call gourmet camping. You're in the woods, in an awesome area surrounded by a great stream being waited on hand and foot. David was an awesome host the entire weekend, a friend and I drove up from NYC and were greeted with awesome local foods (sausages and cheese), produce, and a bottle of wine, we spent the night in a permanent tent structure that was pre-stocked with plenty of firewood (this was back in Oct). The host was an awesome chef, great to chat with, and was totally fine with giving us space when we needed. Additionally we packed a few food packs and went into the Caves of adirondacks. We definitely plan on coming back.
