Lake James Camping Resort & Marina

Stayed in cabin 12 for the Mammoth March 2025. The cabin was immaculate and cozy! Smelled fresh and brand new each time we walked inside! The staff at the check-in office were so helpful and kind and very very friendly. Can’t wait to go back again! Wonderful stay with Lake James Campground.

We spent a year and a half here as seasonal campers and my thoughts are if you’ve ever wondered what happens when a campground gives up on being a campground but still charges resort prices, welcome to Lake James Campground and Marina — a masterclass in unmet expectations.|Let’s start with the grounds: mowing appears to be an optional hobby rather than a maintenance task. Weeds regularly reach over a foot tall, yet management is quick to blame everything from the weather to property ownership rather than simply getting the grass cut. It’s a perfect metaphor for the whole place — neglect wrapped in excuses.|As for amenities, calling this a resort is comedy gold. There’s a small, perpetually crowded pool that’s the only semblance of recreation. Beyond that? Nothing. No playgrounds, no activi

Had such a great stay in one of the cabins here. The cabin is spotless, comfortable and efficiently stocked for home away from home. Our group arrived after office hours and left early and contactless checking in and out was very easy. Would very happily recommend!

We spent a long labor day weekend here. We shared cabin #3 with a befriend couple. My wife and I took the bunk bed room . She used the large bed, I took the small one opposing her. The sleeping conditions in the bunk bed room were unsuitable for adults. Thin mattresses without any kind of comfort. Talking about sleeping on a wooden board ... Tiny room with no space for luggage or clothes, although it had an air conditioning. The bathroom was tiny , too. The shower worked well but was tiny so I could only go in backwards and out forward. The rest of the cabin was nice but very small. We got lucky that we had excellent weather so we could spent all the time outside on the spacious porch. The sleeping soda was plain out gross. Full of stains and a smell of old garbage. We put a heavy blanket

This resort is a hidden gem -- with plenty of great mountain activities nearby! Friendly staff. Clean cabins. Large pool. We stayed for a week and would stay again! Within a 30 to 45 minute drive you have access to caving, tubing, fishing and gold panning. We rented a boat from Noah's Landing. I feel that most of the "harsh" reviews are not representative of the camping resort -- and are very skewed. FYI -- Phase I of the park is mostly longer term renters and the lots are closer together. The lakeview cabins are sandwiched in this area. Phase II is brand new, with a bit of a mountain view and has close access to the pool.
