Visitor & Driver Tips
When approaching the property along US-9, reduce speed as you near Unit 9 to ensure an effortless turn into the park\'s main driveway, particularly if towing a trailer or driving a large coach. The park primarily operates during the extended Adirondack vacation season from mid-May through mid-October; spaces fill rapidly during peak summer holidays and the autumn foliage rush, so advance reservations are highly recommended. Always confirm electrical amperage and site lengths prior to arrival to guarantee optimal pad matching for your vehicle.
