Campground Reviews

First of all, we prefer rustic camping to "resorts", so take our ratings with a grain of salt. Roads need grading. Wifi works intermittantly. Both pool and bounce house that were advertised dont really exist.

Clean, quiet, rustic. No complaints

We have been to both the KOA and North Pole in Wilmington over the past years and have been used to excellent service from both locations. We looked forward to our new adventure and were extremely dissatisfied. No pool, no cable TV, however there was some type of TV with no explanation of how to use it. Cold showers no matter what time of day. Campground is like a Work in Progress.

J’ai vraiment apprécié la formule des petites chalets , la propreté des sanitaires et la promptitude et bienveillance du personnel et des servies. Je serai de retour très bientôt et pour plus longtemps. Thank you .

Loved the cabin! Only two complaints were the mattresses on the bunk beds need replacing and gas grill was not operating properly.

Clean, courteous, quiet, nice area to tent in. Drains well even in inclement weather. Fire pits..in ea tent location. Only complainants the driers in the laundry room are sub par... gorgeous view of Whiteface mountain a mile away...access to some hiking trails...and rivers within a few miles of camp.

Très bien, le personnel et le service sont super!

This is a new campground, nice friendly staff, large sites, clean campground, nice amenities, could use paved roads and sites. Roads to sites a little rough and tight. If they improved on that they would have a gem of a campground. Close to all the attractions but not to close to have all the noise, nice shaded sites. Enjoyed our stay!

I would have a hard time recommending ADK to any friends or family on midwestern wages/budgets. We ran out of our spend budget on day 4 of 8. The entire area is way too expensive! The KOA was nice and peaceful. The pads need grading. It took me a while to level the trailer on the uneven pad when I arrived. It rained the entire time we were there so I’m sure the pads/roads need grading now.

We are so glad that you found our KOA nice and peaceful. The rain has been a struggle this year. We are hoping for clear skies in the future.

We had a great time in the area visiting many Olympic sites, doing some hiking and enjoying the local cuisine. KOA was a solid choice for camping. The employees were friendly and hard working. they did a great job keeping up with all of the daily duties with a smile on their face. Kudos to all of the team members. Dave

The roads are full of potholes. Our premium site was so unlevel that I couldn't get level even with blocks under both the tires and the leveling jacjacks. There is a cable tv jack, but no signal which they don't tell you. We were unable to get either a T-mobile or AT&T signal and the campground wifi is poor (we were unable to stream without constant buffering).

Roads need to be improved for big rigs, especially in poor weather - lots of potholes. Wi-Fi was great!
Jul 16, 2023
Super bummed to get their and realize there was no pool. We also could not get a site with sewer even though there was some empty everyday. The icing on the cake for us was my kids doing the tie die shirts on the first. Ignore we got there (7/8). We let them stay in the few days per the staff direction. On Wednesday night very late I went to wash my 4 kids shirts. Thursday morning we went to g

great staff!

This "new" KOA was formerly the 100 Acre Woods side of North Pole Resorts before the owners sold out and retired. Since its acquisition KOA has closed the former KOA and the old section of North Pole Resorts, filled in the pool, and dismantled the mini golf course. The one improvement was adding faster wifi now capable of streaming. Sorry, but I now consider this campground overpriced.

We thought the staff at check-in and at the few visits to the store we made were exceptionally friendly. A shout out to Aiden who was the person who picked up our trash bags. During the worst of the down pours, he went out of his way to make our 13 & 8 year old really excited. He gave them a short ride on his cart while he was making his rounds. A couple more restrooms in camp ground is needed.

Thank you for staying with us! We will let Aiden and our other staff members know that you appreciated them. More restrooms are definitely on our wish list for the near future. Thanks again!

Friendly staff, large campsites and water close by every site. Location was great for access to whiteface trail and lake placid

We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for choosing Lake Placid KOA!

It was our first time staying at a KOA. Staff throughout the KOA was super friendly and welcoming. The bathrooms were cleaned frequently which was a unique experience at a campground! We rented a small cabin which was clean and perfect for a family of four. Our kids LOVED the gem mining activity and it kept them busy for over an hour. It was a great experience and we'll be back!
Jul 13, 2023
Although we only stayed for one night due to rain. The staff and the sites were outstanding. We will be back.
Jul 13, 2023
very nice, in a great location. Too few bathrooms for the number of campsites is my only issue. Otherwise, will return

Awesome stay. Excellent staff, great facilities and very convenient to the hiking trails. We’re already looking to book our next stay at this amazing location.

After searching online, we were under the impression that this KOA had a variety of things to do there. However, we arrived to learn that there was nothing to do. There was no pool. There was only a game room that wasn’t very nice. Aside from the amenities, we were unhappy with our campsite. It was a nice shaded spot, but we couldn’t sit outside due to the very strong sewer smell.

dirty huge pot holes thru out the whole campgrounds very disappointed

We apologize for the bumpy roads. Upstate New York has experienced record-breaking rainfall this year and we are fighting to keep up. Paved roads are on our wishing list for the future. We hope you will check back as we continue to improve.

We stayed in DC35 which has a broken bedroom window (held with tape) and broken bathroom door. Very limited outdoor space for fire/eating/grilling. No staff available or directives when checking out. Not much to do on the campgrounds (no pool/game room is lacking/small footprint). Misled a bit when making reservation (still had pictures of old location). Miss old location, it was great.
Jul 11, 2023
Cabin 61 pour site , muddy, very wet, very small parking for my truck, furniture and grill filthy. Way overpriced compared to other KOA.

We had a great time. Service was good and timely!

Everyone was very pleasant, but caution on taking a large Class A motorhome in. Branches need to be cut up in most spots. Also the power on one leg of the 50AMP service was only putting out 106 volts, which our surge protector would not allow to connect.
Jul 10, 2023
Very nice campsite with hiking trails connected to the park. Very close to Lake Placid so a lot to see and do. The WiFi was the best I've ever seen at a campsite, especially nice for those of us that work remotely. Only complaint is had some power issues with low input voltage causing some trips.
Jul 10, 2023
Our stay was very nice and beautiful shaded sites. A pool would be a nice addition to the campground, but other than that everything is very nice and loved that you had a dog park. Well Done!!
Jul 10, 2023
Pros: great location, nice bathroom facilities, good playground, friendly staff Cons: Broken glass scattered around the tent site, noisy neighbours (talking loudly at 3am!) with no enforcement of quiet hours. We are really hoping that this location will add some of the amenities from the old site, including the pool and the giant chess.
Jul 10, 2023
Great place to camp! Sites are gorgeous! Staff is very nice and helpful!

This campground is an absolute joke. We staid at the whiteface koa last year and it was amazing. We rebooked for this year and as we were approaching (after a 9 hour drive with 3 kids and 2 dogs) come to find out they moved and tore down the old grounds. No pool ( what the wife and kids look forward to the most), no adk lodge, and crappy sites. We got a refund and found much better accommodation.

We are so sorry that we missed you in our communication about the campground changing locations. We are glad that you found a place that better accommodated your needs. We hope you will check back in the future as we continue to add more amenities and improve the new campground.

Another great stay! Love this campground. Was happy that the staff gave us the same spot as we had last visit. Have four more visits this season and looking forward to them. A quiet, peaceful place to stay! Attentive staff! A great homebase for all our ADK activities. Perfect!
Jul 09, 2023
So disappointed this campground is no longer across the street. Miss the view of the water and Whiteface. Certainly not the same experience… BUT, this newer campground is clean. U can tell staff works hard to make the stay enjoyable. Will continue to return here.

Campground had power issues and we had to plug in our fridge on the 20 amp circuit. Management was nice and tried to be helpful and gave us a nice discount.
Jul 09, 2023
Friendly staff, clean updated facilities. Our RV space had a nice pavilion with weber grill. RV space was not very level and 50 amp breaker was struggling to keep up with so many RVers using their A/C.

My wife and I were disappointed in this campground. We stayed here to hike the Dix range and when we returned all we wanted to do was take a cold shower and go to bed. However, the showers were scalding hot with no way to change the temperature. I soaped up and tried my best to rinse as quickly as possible, but it was so hot I gave up and ended up with soap still on my body. Would not recommend.

I stayed in a cabin with my 8, 6, and 3 month old. I enjoyed the layout of the campground and wooded landscape; however, I did not appreciate being chased around the campground by an employee in a golf chart and accused of stealing firewood. Is firewood theft a major issue at your location? If so, there are better ways to handle the issue than assuming innocent customers are thieves. Not ok.

Great staff - huge campsite - close to all attractions - reserved for next year

Great staff

Staff were friendly and helpful. My family loved the cabin and had a great time. Already planning to return next year.
Jul 06, 2023
The campground was in great shape. Our cabin (C55) was new to use this year. My only ask is that you replace the double mattresses. The blue foam pads were too soft and you would sink all the way through to the wood base. Also, two of the three light bulbs did not work in the front room, so it was a bit hard to see. We had a great time and plan to come back next year! See you soon.
Jul 06, 2023
Cabins are extremely small and can barely fit 5 people. Not enough kitchen things, such as pans for example. Very uncomfortable mattresses. Shady promotional emails.
