Frontier Town Campground

We'd never been to the Adirondacks, prefer state or federal lands thus we chose this state park. It was very nice; well maintained and had the best campground showers EVER! The R Loop did have electricity and water spigots available to fill your fresh water tank. We thought we had the best site on that loop. It was convenient to the bathrooms and showers. Lots of buffer between you and the next site. The park is very nice, but the mosquitoes were horrible while we were there. It was difficult to walk any of the trails because they quickly became hangry mosquitoes buzzing all around you. We could walk our dog along the paved paths but depending on time of day, we had a light jacket with a hood on to keep the mosquitoes off us. We were there the very end of August into the first day of September. Being from Florida, it surprised us that there seemed to be more mosquitoes than what we were used to.
The staff were very helpful and friendly. There's some things to do in the area but we learned in the Adirondacks, there's lots of tiny towns so you do a bit of driving to get anywhere. Lake Placid wasn't a far drive so we did get to see that one day. The Town of Schroon Lake, also very close, was super nice. We just couldn't do much hiking in the Adirondacks due to the bugs. Very nice and quiet campground!

This is a very well conceived campground design - with an ADA gravel horse/ bike/ walking trail that runs throughout the park, giving the impression of being 'in the woods'. The sites are universally large, well distanced, and level. We spent 4 nights in the "T" loop with our Lance 1475' (17') and it felt like we had two sites it was so spacious! The staff was very nice, even with the Corona restrictions. We didn't need the rest room facilities, but we checked them out and everything was clean. We also were one of the few occupied sites in late July (someone mentioned that this may have been a result of the Canadian border closing, as the campground its about 2 hours from Montreal) You can occasionally hear some traffic noise from I87, but the brand new Paradox Brewery is literally a 10 minute walk from the campground, so that was a plus for me! I spent my 65th birthday there and appropriately bought some "Get Off My Lawn" brew. Good times.

We were boon docking, and my only 'complaint' was the lack of access to water. I'd advise anyone wanting to do the same to check the campground map for spigot locations! I'm glad we did - there is a spigot right next to the site we chose (T89), but we still needed a good 100' of hose to refill our fresh tank after a couple of days. Most sites were too far away to have done that.
