Another great visit to the Lake Placid/Whiteface Mountain KOA!! This is our home away from home in the summer. This campground never disappoints! Staff is wonderful and the campground is clean, quiet and peaceful. A great getaway!!

The bathhouse in Riverside was impeccable! The little blue car lady definitely takes pride in her work and is the absolute sweetest!

We felt very much at ease with our first-ever encounter here. The lady at the check-in was the boss, I think. She immediately helped us get "figured out" as I had made a mistake in the reservation location. We wanted to be in the trees location and NOT in the open! She helped us pronto! Thank you. Chris escorted us. He was fun to talk with, and we found we had similar touring experiences.

Bien situé, offre le nécessaire sans allé dans les extras qui pour moi est parfait. Mous avons toujours adoré cette region et le KOA y contribue. Premiere expérience en cabine, tres bien tranquille et confortable, pas eu besoin d’air climatisé la région était fraiche. On recommande Par contre le ménage de la cabine aurait pus être un plus, toile d’araignée, mal propreté sous

We stayed in Cascade Cabin 10 on the mountainside and had a wonderful time. The cabin was very clean and had everything listed in the description. We loved our spot—it backed right up to the woods with great shade, a fire pit, a picnic table, and water. (Note: parking is for 1 car only). The shared bathrooms and showers were a very short walk away and exceptionally clean. The staff was incredib

The stay was ok bathrooms were clean the river area though was not good. Animal feces was everywhere. Not enough amenities for children no pool or playgrounds like other KOA that we’ve stayed at. the jumping pad was covered with sand, and it was very hot. No coverage for shade. The beach area up the road was the best area for family fun although there were leeches in the water. Upgrades needed

Lake Placid KOA consistently delivers the best family friendly camping experience. The Mountainside camp has big beautiful trees and very private feeling sites. Staff is attentive to keeping everything clean and enjoyable.

The campground is nice, having the river there is great for fishing and swimming. The only real issue we had was ants. There were a ton of ants and they were all over everything including getting into our camper and ruining some food, they even were on stuff in the bed of my truck and in our SUV when we packed everything up.

Overall, we were happy with our stay. We were in DC 31 cabin. It was not as nice as the cabin we had the year before. There were issues with flooring and doors with minor holes. Nothing major but clearly not as upkept as the other cabin we were in the first time. Also, I was disappointed with the laundry room. The quarter machine was empty, so I had to go to a store to get quarters.

Lovely, spacious and shaded sites at Mountain Side KOA. Very friendly, helpful staff, and absolutely quiet at night. We highly recommend it.

This was our second stay with you. Last year, it was perfect. This year, there was a campground worker who was getting on anyone in a site that appeared to be violating a rule even by the slightest bit. It was quite annoying. All other workers were friendly and pleasant.

No issues, except for the laundry. One washer took our money (which the office refunded).

What a wonderful campground.. clean, quiet, lovely setting by the River and a friendly staff.. couldn’t be happier. We will be back later this summer!

This rating is based on the riverside of the KOA. It is just a basic open field no mature trees relatively new. There is no access to the river or any amenities such as pool. The bathroom facilities were very nice and clean. Absolutely nothing for kids to do at this KOA expected much more for the price paid. If you’re only looking for a stop over, it would be fine.

It was a very nice place to stay. Well kept. A pool would have made this a five star stay.

Everything was great. Staff was excellent, and the kids loved the wagon rides! Only thing missing is trees!

Some campsites need dead trees cleared, in thunder storm the tree tops or branches could fall and hit campers in rents. Site 27 has a dead pine directly above campsite, a hazard and liability.

From the time my husband and I arrived, we were so impressed with our Motel room and the staff setting our mind at ease ( flawless check in and checkout) We never had to carry cash on us, because they billed it to your card. Believe me, I bought a lot. They had Adirondack furniture thoughtout the room. Close enough to all attractions. We have already booked a trip in the fall. 10/10 stars!!!

Perfectly located near enough to Lake Placid village but far enough away to feel you are in the wilderness. It was perfect for our family that included 3 young children.

I've been going to lake placid koa for over 30 years. I haven't gotten up there since 2021. I was so excited to bring my grandkids. You can't even imagine how upset we were to find that the store, pool, playground, cabins, everything gone... Everything was completely demolished. Instead, we find that KOA had moved to a failed campground a few miles away. What a disappointment. Won't be returning.

It’s a nice campground but stores and Resterant aren’t open past 5:00pm and there’s really not much happening We were put in a site next to the bathrooms and our dogs barked because people were in and out all day and night. I asked for a site backing in but she gave us a pull thru. Very close sites too.

Big sites, spaced well apart, most with abundant shade. Great location

Very nice sites, clean restrooms and showers. Staff was friendly and helpful. Location to lake placid and hiking is great.

We camped in an RV during the Lake Placid Iron Man. We camped across the street at the campground area located near the stream/river. It's a beautiful location. Star gazing is amazing. Lake Placid proper is about twenty minutes away, this is actually in Wilmington NY. But, it's a cool place. There's a store/gas station around the corner that makes awesome sandwiches.
