Roger’s Rock Campground

Had an absolute blast camping here. You have to be careful where you decide to pick your campsite though. If you are a couple or looking for peace and quiet I would recommend campsite 168 or something like it (see map below).
If you are a big group then definitely get some campsites that are more close together.
Depending on where you camp, some of the campsites can be on top of each other… while where we were was relatively quiet and practically private so choose wisely (see map in photos below)
PROS:
–super friendly and helpful staff.
–quiet campground. Sure in the distance you hear people talking and laughing around a campfire. But that’s a far cry from some asshole blasting music all hours of the night or some campground DJ blasting music throughout the campground. No… There was none of that. Campground was nice and quiet. We stayed up till 3am every night just laughing and talking around our campfire and no one bothered us.
–definitely a secure campsite. 24 hour entrance security. Front entrance staff is super friendly and they are also vigilant to make sure everyone had a sticker and/​or pass to enter the campground.
–Ice & wood truck comes by twice a day and you can buy wood or ice or worms or whatever you might need. Very convenient.
–Close to the lake where you can go swimming or just sun bathe with no one bothering you.
–bathrooms were the cleanest bathrooms I’ve ever seen at a campground.
–bathrooms have electric outlets (which was a huge plus for charging my phone during my morning shower).
–about 10 miles away from wal-​mart in case you forget anything.
–close to general stores. Also small driving distance to lake George and canoe rentals.
–far away from the hustle and bustle of screaming kids and madness that is at lake George escape (which in my opinion is the Las Vegas strip of camping if you ask me).
–clothesline at your campsite to hang up wet towels and clothes.
CONS:
–depending on where your campsite is… you might have to walk a little to get some water.
–depending on where your campsite is… you might have to walk a little to use the bathroom.
–no internet service at campground but if you drive about 15 minutes down the road you can make calls and get some internet for texts and email. But if you need high speed internet you need to drive at least 40 minutes down the road and even then it’s kinda spotty.
–depending on where you camp your campsite can be close to the route 9 road (see picture below). Which for a NYC fellas such as myself, it didn’t bother me because the cars drive by sporadically in the day and even more sporadic at night. But for some people it might be a pain.
Hope that helps. All in all we had a blast but a lot of that depended on meticulously choosing the best campsite for us. Good luck :)

This used to be a great family place to camp, but its turned into a loud party no rules sort of place — The rangers drive right by people not following the rules of the camp ground & don’t say anything. After having my dog attacked by a dog off leash, not being able to sleep because people are rude, and the price of the wood I think we will not be going there again. Very sad to see what has become of this campground

What a mess. Came here during Memorial Day Weekend and was looking for a nice getaway. The sites were very close to each other, so much so that you could hear the music from other areas. The bathrooms were very far from our site, relative to other campsites we’ve been to. What drew us to this site was its beach access, but that came at a cost, as there were beach fees. Maybe it was a bad time to go, but even sans the crowds and loud music, the layout and nickel & diming is enough to keep us away.

Let’ start by saying I DO NOT like camping! And yet, my parents honeymooned at Roger’s Rock and I have gone there every single year of my entire lifet. Those of us who grew up there stand by the claims that we knew every root on the paths and could run them barefoot. There have been many, many changes over the years (like bath houses outlets in the bathrooms, and screen doors on the bathrooms!). The staff if friendly and helpful. The sites are a nice size (I have a pop-​up which fits well in every site) and there are plenty of bathrooms. You can’t beat the views of Lake George. If you want relative piece and quiet, this is for you. There’s always the party animals on the weekends but otherwise it’s very family oriented. There’s not much in this neck of the woods so be prepared to spend some time in the Ticonderoga Wal-​Mart.
They lost a star because while many of the fireplaces have been replaced, mine wasn’t!
