- dave161 contributionI filled my boat with gas at lake pumps. When I left the marina I notice at full throttle the engine bogs down. It seems like the problem was the gas for the marina. Maybe water in the gas??Written 7 August 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Latha SChicago, IL4 contributionsFirst time camping in New York, and I must say we couldn't have picked a better spot to begin at.
Our 2-night camping at Northampton Beach campground (NY state parks) offered us what we really needed - a peaceful camping experience surrounded by pines and hardwood with clear waters of Sacandaga lake just a few min walk away.
I would have certainly given 5 stars had the park offered a trail system for hiking. In the absence of it, the campground receives a strong "4". I always look for information on particular sites and feel like I hit a jackpot every time a camper posts a picture or comment about a particular site. So, for that reason, we stayed at site 10 with the campsite backing into an inlet (is that what it is called) of the lake. The site offered adequate spacing from neighboring sites and was 2 sites (or about 1/2 min) walk to the bathroom and water spigot. Oh, the sites are no hookups which we didn't mind at all.
Last but not least, staff were great - pleasant and helpful. They even have an ice cream truck that drives through the campground in the evenings. Other campers are generally very pleasant too. No loud parties or yelling/screaming.
Few highlights:
1. Bugs - when we checked in on Saturday in late July, there were few bugs around in the afternoon. A light spray of deep woods type of bug repellent did the trick. Also, even though the site is by water, this did not result in extra buggy atmosphere. All in all, considering we were in "their" environment, I would call this a pleasant campground with hardly any nuisance from the "natives".
2. Bathroom/Showers - clean and generally well-kept. Showers were bit of a walk from site 10, but since you go there only once, and at most two times a day, no big deal. Plenty of bathrooms with flush toilets throughout the campground and the beach. Wish they kept the soap dispenses filled though.
3. Sites - a mix of level, large sites with plenty of trees to smaller, unlevel sites. Site 10 was large and level.
4. Things to do - THE LAKE and the picnic groves. You can definitely spend the whole day with a picnic/grilling by the lakeside in the sun or in the shade. Most lakes/waterside camping hardly offer shade, so I loved this about this park. Tall pine tree picnic groves with plenty of access to grills, bathrooms, water spigots. Water is clean and there is lifeguard presence. You can rent kayaks too. All in all, perfect spot regardless of whether you are a beach type or just sit in the shade and read a book type (me).
Can't wait to go back for at least 3 nights next time.Written 30 July 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The interior is very nicely finished and took me by surprise. Not what I expected when we pulled up.
The beer was very drinkable and was the best of the stops we made that day.
They are looking to expand by bringing in food, seeing up an outdoor patio and music.
We will definitely stop back for some great beer and enjoy some of the new features.Written 21 February 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ryan V8 contributionsEight of us took a 3 hour boat trip and it was a blast! Captain Jason is the best! He showed us different areas of the lake and was very informative!! We all enjoyed tubing, jumping off the rooftop and going down the slide! It was an amazing experience! Thanks Jason!!!Written 13 July 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
