“Beautiful serene campsite”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 September 2009

people found this review helpful

Came across this beautiful campsite by chance on our way further into the Adirondacks. Were lucky enough to be given site 99 in Loop E which was the most wonderful site we have ever camped in. Lovely lakeside setting in a clearing in the trees. Plenty of space and not close to others. Good hot showers nearby. Close to the beach. Take a walk there in the evening as the lake in the sunset is stunningly beautiful and very romantic. There were deer drinking at the edge of the water. Definitely want to go back.

“Excellent campgrounds!!”

This campground was very beautiful and relaxing to stay at. It has plenty of well maintained and modern bathrooms all over the grounds, as well as hot showers. A very nice playground our kids enjoyed and a lovely swimming erea and hiking trails. I plan on returning every year with my family. It is only 5 minutes from Old Forge, yet far enough away to enjoy the outdoors!

“Very peaceful, quiet, clean and affordable.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 July 2009

We stayed at Nick's Lake Campground for the first time this past June/July. The campground is very nicely situated on the lake, far away from the busy downtown, therefore making it a very quiet place to stay. The bathrooms are centrally located on each loop and very clean. The staff was very helpful when asked any questions. There is an IGA and a Kinney Drug nearby. We also went to the wonderful local italian deli for fresh pizza and sandwiches. Once you drive the short drive (5 miles??) downtown, everything is very close by. The Enchanted Forest Water Safari was awesome!! Unfortunately, it rained most of our trip so we didn't get to do all the things on our list. We still had a great time!.

The staff bent over backwards to accommodate our late attempts to find a camping spot. We thoroughly enjoyed our week there and will get back there every year in our RV. We don't mind having no hookups when the new shower facilities are superb!

i arrived at this campground at 12:30 pm on aug. 10, 2007 when i pulled up to the window and said i would like to get a site and i asked if this is where i did it the lady in the booth got snotty and said Yeah like i was an idiot. then still with an attitute she told us she only had one site for one night. my husband and i felt she was rude and decided not to use your campground i feel if you are trying to bring in coustomers they shouldnt be treated rudely.

  • Liked — nothing i stayed at another campground with better staff
  • Disliked — i waas treated rudely before i got to stay in this campground
