Set in the Olympic region of upper New York state, this open all year KOA is nestled among tall pines and white birches, bordered by the Ausable River. Enjoy the Adirondack Mountain countryside's pristine mountains, lakes and streams. Offering world-class recreation in both summer and winter, fly-fisherman, hikers, skiers and snowshoers alike will feel right at home. Such a striking setting is why Lake Placid was chosen as the site for the 1932 and 1980 Olympic Winter Games. Today, the Olympic facilities are a training ground for world-class athletes as well as a place for visitors to experience their favorite Olympic sports. Try activities such as the Lake Placid Bobsled Experience or watch athletes train at the Summer Jumping Series and Saturday Night Ice Shows. Back at the campground, enjoy spacious big-rig sites, wooded tent sites, Deluxe Cabins and Camping Cabins. In the summer season, rent fun-cycles or partake in mini golf, hayrides, movies and special weekends that include dinners, music and plenty of planned activities. Winter guests enjoy the comforts of a heated Deluxe Cabin, offering kitchen, private bedrooms and bathroom, including linens and cooking supplies. Or stay in a heated camping cabin. RV sites offering electric only are open, as are lean-to and tent sites (for the hearty at heart!). Just minutes from the base of Whiteface Mountain it makes the perfect basecamp for winter activities like skiing, snowshoeing and sledding. |
