Nicks Lake Campground

The best-cared-for state campground we have visited. Restrooms were well cared for, the road was recently paved, and the hiking trails were clearly marked. Kayaking on the lake in Autumn was gorgeous. We could easily bike into nearby Old Forge, which is a fun town. Campsites were not wedged together, so we had a little piece of paradise all to ourselves!

Nicks Lake Campground – Adirondack Perfection We had a great three-night stay at Nicks Lake Campground. Our site was perfectly situated, with just the right amount of space between neighbors for a peaceful, private feel. The lake itself is gorgeous—calm, scenic, and perfect for a quiet paddle or just soaking in the view. One of the best parts is the location: just a quick hop into Old Forge for supplies or a meal, and right around the corner from McCauley Mountain. The bathrooms were impressively clean and well-maintained, making the stay even more comfortable. I can’t wait to come back with the mountain bike and hit the trails in the area.

Such a wonderful place to camp!! Me and my family got a few sites and enjoyed a few days here and loved every minute! The staff is so welcoming and helpful and it’s just beautiful! The facilities were nice as well!

We enjoyed our time at Nicks Lake and camping here. The ADK’s are a magical destination that we love to visit at least once a year. The campground itself was really clean and there was plenty of space between the camping lots. We had a pretty large amount of people camping together when we visited both with tents and campers so there was a lot of space .

This is a very nice, well maintained campground. The staff is great, and the lake is quiet as they do not allow motorboats. Great campground, highly recommend!
