Every campsite has access to the pond, with a canoe "slip" carved into the shoreline from years of use in this capacity. Plenty of water hook ups and bathrooms. What's in short supply, though, is shower facilities. The only shower building is found around campsite 134.
There is an entrance road and an exit road off Route 30. If you are coming through Tupper Lake, you will encounter he Exit road first. He entrance is another mile down the road. Once you have checked in, you can use either gate, but be advised: the Exit gate closes at 8 PM.
There is a public beach, which is open whenever there is a lifeguard on duty. Officially, there is no swimming "at your own risk", but people do it anyway. There is a day use picnic area adjacent to the public beach, and a playground.
The "camp store" is actually off site, on Route 30 between the two gates and on the other side of the road. You can get just about anything you may have left behind: firewood, S'mores fixings, bug spray...the usual.
