Let us preface this review by stating that we do not understand nor agree with some negative…read morecomments we have read on a couple of web sites about this magnificent place. This is a 5+ on a scale of 1 to 5 or a 10+ on a scale of 1 to 10 Campground. We are full-timers traveling in a Class-A motorhome and have stayed at a number of campgrounds, resorts, state parks, and other locations over the last few years. We have seen it all. Champlain Adult Campground is the best campground where we have had the pleasure to stay. The campground makes you feel as though you are in the middle of a garden, rather than your standard (or even "luxury") campground. We came to Champlain Lake following the recommendation of our son who was enjoying the summer in Burlington with some friends; while looking for a place where we could stay for over two weeks, we found this gem. It was easy to make a reservation over the phone, and we were fortunate that someone had cancelled, leaving the site we were assigned available for booking. JC (Jean Claude) asked for my name and to send him a $200 deposit and we were all set for our arrival on July 18th with an August 3rd departure. When we arrived, we went straight to the office. I met JC who came from elsewhere in the compound to greet us. When JC was in the process of verifying our reservation he found out that his record showed we would be arriving on August 19th (a day after our scheduled arrival in my itinerary). We were worried about the misunderstanding, but JC offered us a site next to the one we were initially assigned, emphasizing we could move the next day. JC had promised me it was the best site and he was right! Funnily, after few days of walking around the campground with our dog, we realized every site was the best site; all were well kept, private, and with great views of the lake. There are a good number of seasonal campers and--contrary to many other places we have stayed--they don't treat you like an outsider because you are not "one of them". On the contrary, the seasonal campers are friendly, respectful of everyone's privacy, and more than willing to give you tips and advice regarding the surrounding area, including interesting stops across the US-Canadian border on your way to Montreal. There are many options for campers once they are settled. You could visit Canada, drive around the little local towns and beaches, bike, swim, or kayak at the lake. Other perks include nice walks, hikes, and trips to Burlington. The campground could not be in a better location when it comes to exploring and a variety of attractions. Sunsets are something most campers--ourselves included--enjoy at the campground's beachfront. Just about everyone comes at the end of the day and enjoys the view, including JC, his wife Emma, and their children. This place is a paradise, which we told the owners several times. They maintain an immaculate space and everything is simple--as it should be. One morning, I saw few campers leaving and within minutes JC was watering their sites and soon the sites looked like no one had even camped there. JC and Emma work tirelessly, all day long, and their children help them keep the campground in shipshape condition. Seeing them work (really work) the grounds makes it obvious that there is no time left in the day to update their web site or promote this great find. Their priorities are clear: keep existing customers happy with clean, scenic, facilities that operate well. Just a couple of tips for other campers: * Bring your own internet if you need it. The same goes for satellite antennas. We had little time to plug into either since we found ourselves spending so much time outside enjoying the campground, but it is just a suggestion. * The campground has clean bathrooms with showers and coin operated laundry if you need them. Water is clean and pressure is great. We had a 50 amp site but could have been on a 30 amp. The weather, even on hot summer days, felt good given the breeze coming from the lake and the inexistent dust on the grounds. * We didn't feel the need to lock anything when we left the campsite for the day because it felt so safe, and nothing bad every came of it. The owners are friendly; they made us laugh and we had multiple stimulating conversations during our stay. I cannot recall one campsite place with better value or aesthetics (both natural and built-in) than Champlain Adult Campground. If anything, I would suggest JC and Emma to change the name, this place is just superb. Something like ¨Garden¨, ¨Peaceful¨, ¨Tranquility¨ would make justice to this place. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and cannot wait to visit again (probably for an even longer period!). We left two days ago and already miss it.

All of the sites are charming in their own right and the access to the lake is wonderful, providing a truly stunning view and wonderful place to cool off. The owners take great pride in the property that they have curated, and it is evident in every inch of the campsite. The facilities are cleaned daily, firewood is available, and the owners are a wealth of local knowledge and insight. this is by far the best campsite we have ever stayed at, the tone set by the owners really does attract a certain level of campers that are respectful and pleasant, there was no loud music, late nights or bright lights blazing through the night. This is an absolutely perfect place to decompress and enjoy the scenery. We cannot wait to come back!

I was…read morehere on the off season so I seemed to be the only camper; only a few seaonals were otherwise in the park. Just don't expect any fancy amenities. The pool has been filled in with dirt and the playground is ancient. There is some sort of shuffleboard court, a laundry room, and a game room that I didn't see. The bathroom is clean with hot showers, though you have to pull on a string to keep the water running. Very inconvenient though it keeps folks from wasting water. Overall no complaints. I'm glad I found the place, frugal camper that I am.

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!

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.

Once you cross the the auto toll road and the gondola ride (for Mt. Mansfield) you'll be entering this zigzag, twisty scenic road which will bring you to the notch. The enire road is breathtaking. It's scenic during peak fall foilage and you'll see people stopping along to take pictures. The road is very narrow and there would be cars parked on either side so i'd recommend to drive slow and yield to people walking along and the oncoming traffic. There's a visitor center which will help you find your way to a couple of hikes/ trails. There were also porta potty which were clean. The parking is limited and you'll have to wait and search through. During our visit, there was no one in the visitor center. There are helpful signs and boards to guide you along the trails there which was helpful. The sterling pond hike starts from the visitor center and it is about a 1,000 ft elevation total. The smugglers cave is a few steps away from this visitor center. The entire smugglers notch is scenic and makes for great photo opportunities. There are a couple of great hikes/ trails from here and i'd reommend anyone visiting vermont to check out this place during the fall season.

Smuggler's Notch State Park provides hiking, camping, nature programs, and mountain biking…read more Smuggler's Notch Park got its name because In 1807, President Thomas Jefferson passed an embargo act forbidding American trade with Great Britain and Canada. This was a severe hardship for northern Vermonters, since Montreal was closer than other markets in the US. Many local people continued illegal trade with Canada, herding cattle and carrying other goods through the Notch. Later, fugitive slaves used the Notch as an escape route to Canada. During the Prohibition years, liquor was smuggled from Canada over the improved road built in 1922. My mother and I just rode through and it was miles of the park with different areas to explore. The we're many hikers and explorers out. All I can say is the mountains are beautiful and the atmosphere is amazing. I would definitely want to come back in fall to see the trees change colors.

Maple Hill offers an in-expensive and convenient camping experience for those looking to go hiking or sight seeing in the Bristol/Waterbury area. The "downtown" of Bristol is a short drive away if you need to buy supplies or want a nice evening out for dinner and ice cream. They have both wooded and field sites you can get a nice spot right on the river. There is also a bathhouse with running water, showers, and flush toilets. I have never been so pleased with an experience of true human compassion and the people running this campground are what all humans should achieve to be. I know this review may be somewhat cryptic but might I just add: Make sure that you remember that the road for the campground is located across the street from the white house and not to find yourself going down a rocky dirt road in the dark, in a rainstorm, in the fog....Things may not end up well for you haha. Anyways, Martha is the best and thank God for AAA. Check in and registration is at the white house and campsites run about 25/night for non electric sites.

Maybe the only time I have used a campground bathroom and not had to avoid the hordes of harvestmen/daddylong-legs. And the bathroom lights are solar powered!
