    We finally made an intentional stop at this park after numerous times of passing by on our way to…read morethe ferry to Burlington, VT. With our swim and sand gears in tow, we were ready for a day on the beach! Upon entering the premise, we were charged a $4.00 admission per vehicle. We parked by the building where most of the showers were. With little kids, it was a hike towards the beach. It was a sunny day, but with rain clouds looming over us. Thus, the winds were blowing and the waters constantly pushed waves back and forth. There were lots of warnings and cordoned areas for swimming. A lifeguard was on duty. Our kids enjoyed wading in the waters and playing with the sand. To shower, we had to run back to where we came from. Only 2 out of several shower stalls were working and both of them were too hot to use. That's not good. But, I would be interested in going back to try out camping here. It's not a big area and for people like us who grew up in the city, this might be a good place to start the outdoor experience. And, in case we realize that camping out is not our thing, we can easily go out and forage in the mall.

    We're from the Bronx and after 5.25 hrs of driving, pulled up to the gatehouse. We were greeted…read morewith a smile and warmly welcomed. Check-in was simple and we headed to our campsite. We got there and backed in. We liked the site at first, but decided to drive around the loop next door in search of a more suitable site. One was found that was unoccupied so we went back to the gatehouse to ask for a possible change. "Sure, no problem." He checked it and it was open. Our new site had privacy, good space, was clean and near a water spigot, the bathrooms, and was only a couple of sites from the manager, Steve, his wife Kay, and great dogs Kaya and Trump. Steve and Kay were friendly, informative, and went above and beyond to help us with any needs (like jumping my truck battery that I ran down while setting up camp with the doors open for too long.) Both dogs were very friendly and fun to visit with. Other positives included hikes along the lake, swimming at the Buck Pond beach (one young guy fishing from a kayak caught a 3.5 lb largemouth bass), and much, much more. Overall, Buck Pond Campground was a fine place to stay and enjoy the Adirondacks!

    Buck Pond in the northern Adirondacks is one of the nicest campsites I've seen along the east…read morecoast. Actually beats some on the west coast too for camping snobs out there. The sites are nicely spaced so that you're not bumping up against an RV rave. As with any campground, some sites are significantly nicer than others. We were in site 84, pretty damn sweet with its own little trail to the lake. Not gonna divulge what we scouted as THE best which you need to reserve 9 months in advance FYI. Schedule that with your French Laundry resies. They also had boat rentals and a map of the many waterways to explore. Highly suggest the rope swing if you come across it on Rainbow Lake. The ranger/campground manager Bob is just generally awesome. He fueled our little firelet into a great big burner. Smoky the Bear, watch out! Bob also has a ski store in Jay, NY and is a part time maple syrup maker should anyone fancy a winter excursion to the Adirondacks.
