Golden Beach Campground

The views are amazing here. The sunsets are breathtaking. Our tent site was fine. The only cons-the bathrooms don't have locks on the doors. There was no toilet paper in any of the stalls for hours. The showers could use a good cleaning. That being said we still had a great time.

Been coming here for over 30 years. Recent weekend stay was as great as ever. One of the nicest freshwater beaches in the country, and great serene atmosphere and location

Site 100- tent camping. The best campsite as far as size and water access I have ever had. There is a path down to a small sandy beach. Beautiful sunsets. The campground is basic- and from this site- it’s a bike ride, car ride, or long walk to the shower house. There is no place to do dishes - bring your own bin and heat your hot water- scrape all food scraps into the garbage. Bathrooms are close enough- but very outdated. Just a trickle of water in the women’s side. We brought our own water container for washing and brushing teeth. The staff isn’t overly energetic- but they are all kind and helpful. You can purchase ice and firewood on site. This campground is dog friendly.

Been going with my kiddos for the past two years, about to make it a third this coming August. I have been here in the past as well. This is where my heart lives. Everything from the beach to the campgrounds itself is peaceful. On good warm days the beach is fantastic, you can wade out up to your shoulder in the sandy bottomed, beautiful Raquette Lake. Staff is short handed, but still kind and friendly. Two years ago, even with a staff shortage my son broke his chain on his bicycle and a young man from the staff came and fixed it! The kids say “i’d give 10/10 stars.” and “everyone was nice and so was the beach” Bathrooms and shower houses are clean and cleaned daily. Most times you will see staff doing quick checks and clean up if needed. Staff is responsive to any kind or concern or issues that arise. All around love this place in the heart of the Adirondacks.

We love the ADK. We packed a picnic lunch head north for the day. Hung out at the beach it was so nice . The view was amazing glad I brought a light sweater. A little chilly in the air. It was a perfect day. The campground was packed. Bathrooms not close by the beach.
