This is challenging because of the small size and limited sites. I try at least six months in advance for a water site. The water sites are hard to get. I will stay at any of them they are all wonderful. The lake is very refreshing and the beach is fun. There is a huge rock in the middle of the lake that my family takes pictures at. It is quit a wonderful view. I love coming here to camp. All the campers are always friendly and polite. I have talked with many and they all think this campground is a hidden gem.

As for hauling your camper, don't be surprised if they stick you in a small site or a site with 30 amp. They may ask you for your specs but it doesn't mean a whole lot when it comes to selecting a site for you and your camper. Be sure to have a 50 amp adapter if you require one before coming.

They are always doing preventive maintenance on the buildings, sites and cleaning up the sites. The laundry room and restrooms are clean. The staff are professionals, courtesy, and friendly. Willing to assist on matters all the times. The front desk staff are exceptional. The park is close to downtown and the water park. Catch the bus/shuttle or walk. We have made our reservations for next year already to get insure we get our favorite campsite. Make your reservations early for a site or in the cabin. We have that ADK fever! Thanks for the Campground Management and staff for making our great experience and welcoming stay. This a five star campground.

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

And a petty point but noticeable: flowers in flower box at lodge next to men's room need to have shade plants in them--not marigolds! It has become obvious after camping here the last 2 seasons with my children & grandchildren, less care is given overall , including the number of employees--working short. Disappointed as we've been coming here for 32 years. Looking for an Airbnb next summer.

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.

We have stayed in every house on the property, each of them inviting in their own way. All of the cottages have been clean, well furnished and comfortable. There have been a few problems over the years, but the owners have always addressed our concerns in a timely, satisfactory manner without question or complaint. We have always had the choice to rent elsewhere, but we have returned year-after-year to the Fulton House because of its simple, down-to-earth charm and warmth. If you're looking for The Four Season, then you should look elsewhere. If your looking for a genuine Adirondack experience, then you will find the Fulton House a great place to relax and recharge.

Once you have found the dock in Stillwater and embark on the Norridgewock River Cruise the fun begins. A 45 minute cruise of natural beauty and interesting information. I would suggest this is a perfect way for a family gathering to enjoy secluded Adirondack life. They currently charge $18 for adults and I think $10 for kids to cruise. The destination is a small boat dock where a mountain " limousine" awaits to bring you the last leg to the lodge. Once there you have a few hours to enjoy lunch and discover rustic camp life. A play area for kids, libation for adults and even a piano and guitar for anyone who would care to regale the other guests. Its all very chill and tranquil. You may find various accomodation if you care to spend the night,at very reasonable prices. The family who runs Norridgewock are intent on making your experience a good one and this is a most pleasant diversion in the woods!

The best part of the room was the balcony overlooking Fourth Lake. What a tranquil & serene place! Thank you for providing such a fantastic getaway.
