We really enjoyed our stay at this campground even though it was only for one night. The campground owner was very pleasant and managed to get us a beautiful site overlooking the lake. Other campers next to us were very friendly which always helps. One of the nicest campgrounds we stayed in during our three months of traveling through New York, Vermont and eastern Canada. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The park was beautifully maintained, the owner was friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed watching the ferry and the 4th of July fireworks from the lakefront. Will return as soon as we are able. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Beautiful park, well maintained with friendly owners. Sites are laid out in a free form with no rows which gives the park a casual, park-like feel. Only a few sites on the water but great water access for canoes and kayaks and beautiful sunsets! Swimming is possible but bring your surf shoes as the beach is all rock, not sand. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We absolutely loved this place. So peaceful and beautiful. The sunsets are breathtaking. Seasonals were very friendly, but not in that "pushy" way. The only warning I'd give is that we had a hard time getting cell service. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very quiet campground,friendly people, owner very busy helping campers. The owners are conscious of environment and the need to protect it. We found this to be a great place for adults who want quiet and friendly neighbors. Not at all for kids. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Clean and well-kept - owners are constantly working but always take time to talk or help campers. Nice spacious grassy sites, plenty of flowers, trees and bushes. All have fire pits and tables. There's a centrally-located pavilion with laundry room, bathrooms/showers, and a covered porch with picnic tables. This is the quietest campground we've ever stayed in - no children (not allowed), no motorcycles (not sure if they're allowed), no barking dogs (dogs are allowed, but you must have to prove they don't bark because all the ones we saw did not). The ferries run all day and all night, every 5 minutes it seems. It's nice to see them from the sites along the lake, but if you're a light sleeper you might prefer a site in the orchard, a little ways away from the waterfront. If you want to take a ride on the ferry, you can walk to the terminal - it's less than 1/2 mile from the campsite. Or take your vehicle on the ferry with you and spend some time in NY state - for 2 adults and a pickup the rate is $22. There is no camp store, so get your supplies at the awesome gas station/market up the road in South Hero - they have wonderful steaks, beer, wine, soda - all kinds of supplies - a great place. Children are more than discouraged. I asked about having our son's family rent the $600 a week lakefront cabin - 2 adults with a 10 month old baby - and he said no, the baby might cry. He also said he turned away a group of 10 adults one of the days we were there - and the campground had plenty of spaces empty. I'm guessing he thought they might be rowdy. There's a gravel/stone walkway down to the lake, where there's a dock and flat rocks to sit on to watch the fabulous sunsets. You can get a temporary fishing license nearby and fish from the dock - we saw a fisherman catching lots of perch and a couple of bass. We took a ride up route 2 thru the other Champlain Islands - it's only about 50 miles round trip and the scenery is just beautiful. I'd have liked to have WiFi, but this is a great place to relax and unwind and get away from it all! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is one of the nicest and CLEANEST parks we've ever stayed. Owners make you feel very comfortable. All of the seasonals were very friendly and well mannered. Our site was within sixty feet of Lake Champlain . Very relaxing watching the ferries chug past our site. Sunsets were spectacular! We will definetly return to this park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The "adult" in the name isn't what you think...it simply means children are discouraged. There are NO activities, which seems to suit everyone who stays there. This is a very quiet, small, friendly campground. Several sites have views of Lake Champlain and the Plattsburgh ferry. A great base for exploring the beautiful Champlain islands. Highly recommended! We camped here in a Motorhome.
This campground is on the very top of my list. Friendly, courteous and helpful staff. The grounds are absolutely beautiful. The sites are large and grassy, seasonal neighbors were very nice, not intrusive. I have no problem with children, I have grandchildren myself but it was wonderful not to be disturbed by kids yelling, children on bikes or playing ball. If you are looking for a peaceful, relaxing weekend, please check this campground out. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The owner was very nice and made an effort to accommodate all campers and needs. The whole campground was spotless and very peaceful. The evenings during the lake was amazing. We would return in a heartbeat. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We had a great stay at this park even though there are no services available. The sites were large and grassy, it was quiet and very clean. There is easy access to Lake Champlain and the staff was very friendly. Kids may have a hard time camping here as there are no activities or amenities to occupy them. If you're looking for a park to get away from it all, definitely check out Grand Isle State Park! We camped here in a Motorhome.
