About
This Adirondack campground sits on Dark Bay along scenic Paradox Lake, near Schroon Lake and the eastern High Peaks region. Its 57 sites are set among the trees with access to swimming, fishing, and canoeing on the lake. Hot showers, flush toilets, and a trailer dump station are on site. Dogs are welcome with proof of current rabies vaccination and must be leashed to 6 feet.
Fees
Standard sites run about $17/night plus a $7.25 reservation fee; out-of-state visitors add $5/night. Sites are non-electric, so no hookup surcharge applies. Confirm current pricing before booking.
