Rogers Rock-Lake George
|
My non climbing girlfriend and I are going to spend a few days around Lake George. Is rogers rock campground still open, I heard (from an unreliable source) a few years ago that it was closed. The only thing I can find online is dated from years ago. |
|
As far as the best campsites, the Adirondack Rock guidebook lists the best campsites for climbers, for whatever that's worth. Might be best to just let your girl pick one on the water. |

Not a lot of CHEAP lakeside camping as far as I know. Plenty of places to camp with access to the lake (5-10 minute walk). As far as I know Roger's Rock campground is open [ dec.ny.gov/outdoor/24493.html]. |

Roger's Rock Campground is most definitely open. There's some beta on the "good" sites here. There are many beautiful lake-side sites at this campground. |

Roger's Rock is awesome... My girl and I love camping there on the lake. We bring kayaks and inflatables to explore, climb and drink to excess. Anything on the left side of the map along the water is great beachfront camping. A little crowded yes but it's a great time with usually a really friendly crowd. |

John, I'm in almost the exact same situation. I'm heading up to Lake George for a long weekend, July 20-22, with my girlfriend and another couple, all non-climbers. Give me a shout if you'd like to sneak in a climb or two. Maybe run up something easy on the slab one morning if our dates overlap. |

Seriously, the biggest problem IME at Rogers Rock campground is the rowdy campers. For whatever reason - I blame the proximity of high-power boats (long story but I saw the same boorish/scary sh:t at Watkins Glen cmpg) - there's a higher level of midnight noise, rowdiness and general mayhem than at other NYS campgrounds. Can't deny that it's a great location for climbing though. |

Online Reservations Campsite 54 is the bomb.29,31,33 are also sweet..sounds great, except neither of us drink much at all. Really starting to think other options should be explored, anyone have any experience with cranberry lake...I havent done the slightest bit of googling with it...yet. |

I'll be there the weekend of the 10th. Looks like a cool spot. |
