I grew up spending every summer and some winters in Thendara, NY, just outside of Old Forge. I take my 4 children camping every summer now in Old Forge and Nick's Lake is our campground of choice. It is spacious, beautiful, and serene. The property is well taken care of, the staff is polite and cheerful, and we wouldn't camp anywhere else. My sisters and their children camp there as well, and our children have memories that will last them a lifetime and hopefully carry on tradition with their own children!!

This campground is the true campers dream! The sites are not too close together, there is quite time after 9 or 10. There are no motor boats allowed on the lake to insure a peaceful stay. I myself prefer loop E That is the only loop my family will stay on. They say becuase they have the best bathrooms. Also try to book a water site, they make the stay that much more enjoyable, the ducks will come to say hi in the morning! If you cant book a water site the "beach" is only a short walk from loop E. There are also nature trails that can be hiked around the lake, as well as schedualed activities for children!

Nicks Lake is a great camping experience for the nature lover. Great sites although there is no electric hookup. It's a great place to get back to basics and enjoy fishing and wildlife. No motorized boats lend to a quiet serene camping trip. Cleanliness of showers and bathrooms is excellent.

The camp sites and accomadations were very nice. They have a nice playground and park for the kids to enjoy. We didn't have time to fish, but we had a ball at the water park and strolled downtown and enjoyed their shops. I'm sure you'll have a great time.
