About
Cumberland Bay State Park lies on the western shore of Lake Champlain just north of Plattsburgh, with 117 campsites spread across four loops. None of the sites have electric hookups, but back-in pads run up to about 50 feet for larger rigs. Showers, restrooms, and a dump station are available. Pets are permitted (2 max, 6-foot leash, current rabies proof) but are not allowed on the beach or in the picnic area.
Fees
Sites are non-electric, so expect the standard rate of about $17/night plus a $7.25 reservation fee, with a $5/night surcharge for non-New York residents. Confirm current rates when booking.
