Nick's Lake is my absolute favorite place in the world. I first traveled here 26 years ago...I was 1 year old. I've made it back every year since then. Many of my family members have been traveling there for the better part of 50 years. I'm a third generation camper at Nick's and I'm excited to say I'll be passing... More

A very nice place to go for a week! No bears while we were there but you should still be careful. Heard wolves across the lake. A beautiful and well kept campground that we will be going back to for years to come!

This was our first camping experience in the Adirondacks and we booked the site because of its proximity to Old Forge. Luckily, it turned out to be a great choice. Each campsite was large and nestled in such a way that you weren't on top of your neighbors. Although we were disappointed that the individual campsites didn't extend all the... More

We traveled to Nick's Lake for the Labor Day weekend in 2012. We arrived late on Friday night and checked in with no issue. The campground is very close to downtown Old Forge but removed from it enough to be peaceful and quiet. The campground itself is very nice. The lake is gorgeous and the bathrooms/showers were clean and modern.... More

I was not a camper at Nick's Lake, but had the experience of looking for some family members that were camping "around Old Forge" so I stopped there as it fit the description of where I thought they would be and they had given me their site number. The young man working that evening called around until he found them... More

I normally don't write reviews, but I just had to this time. I just spent a weekend camping at Nick's Lake w/my 4 year old daughter. The campground was terrific!!! The site was spacious, the bathrooms are VERY well maintained, and the staff was super friendly and helpful. As a single mom I was a bit concerned about camping, but... More

My whole family camps at Nick's Lake at last twice a season. It's very clean, great sites. Bathrooms are spotless and plenty of showers on each loop! Very beautiful family oriented setting. Highly recommend, they book up quick - but well worth it!

My family has been camping, on and off, at Nick's Lake for at least 40 years. The sites are spacious, the place is quiet, and the lake is wonderful for canoeing. If you like campgrounds with a rec. room, swimming pool and power boats don't come here. If you like quiet, easy hiking, a quiet beach, and a nice size... More

We want to thank you all for the very pleasant stay & very nice camping areas. There were four of us who reserved to stay Saturday night so we could go to Enchanted Forest, unexpectedly we all ended up getting Friday off so we all drove up just for the heck of it, we checked with Nick's Lake first thinking...

I am one of the staff members here. It is a wonderful and quiet place to stay . The fish are plentiful, animals are all over but please do not feed any of them, pictures are welcomed. We do have a bear that has been wondering around but PLEASE don't leave your food, garbage, or coolers out. Were trying to... More
