About this campground
Nestled on the pristine northern shores of Lake George, Rogers Rock Campground beckons families and outdoor enthusiasts to experience the quintessential Adirondack adventure. This beloved lakeside retreat seamlessly blends waterfront recreation with forest exploration, offering swimmers crystal-clear waters, boaters endless horizons, and anglers promising fishing spots. Whether you're gathering with friends at one of the group sites or seeking solitude at an individual campsite, Rogers Rock provides the perfect basecamp for creating lasting memories in New York's outdoor playground.
Rogers Rock Campground offers individual and group camping facilities, accommodating both tent and RV campers. The campground provides a mix of campsite options, including sites suited for larger groups.
Historical SignificanceRogers Rock sits in a region steeped in American history, where echoes of the past blend with natural beauty. Just a short drive away, the legendary Fort Ticonderoga stands as a testament to the area's pivotal role in shaping our nation. This proximity to such significant historical sites adds depth to your camping experience, allowing visitors to combine outdoor recreation with cultural exploration and step back in time to the days when these waters served as vital transportation routes for Native Americans and early settlers.
Weather and SeasonsExperience the full spectrum of Adirondack seasons at Rogers Rock, where each time of year paints the landscape in different hues. Summer brings warm, sun-drenched days perfect for lake activities, though afternoon thunderstorms and morning mist add drama to the mountain vistas. The humid air carries the scent of pine and the sounds of loons across the water. As autumn arrives, the surrounding forests burst into brilliant golds and crimsons, while winter transforms the campground into a snow-covered wonderland, offering a completely different perspective on this versatile outdoor destination.
ElevationPerched at the gentle meeting point where the Adirondack foothills kiss the shores of Lake George, Rogers Rock offers a unique vantage point that captures both the intimacy of the waterfront and the grandeur of the surrounding peaks. This strategic position provides campers with easy access to both water-level activities and nearby mountain adventures.
Natural Features and SceneryImmerse yourself in a landscape where towering pines and deciduous trees create a living cathedral around your campsite. The legendary clarity of Lake George reveals a underwater world while offering mirror-like reflections of the surrounding Adirondack peaks. Wildlife enthusiasts will delight in frequent encounters with white-tailed deer browsing at dawn, the haunting calls of loons echoing across the water, and the occasional black bear reminder that this is truly wild country. Each sunrise paints the mountains in alpenglow, while evening brings a symphony of nature sounds and star-filled skies unmarred by city lights.
Geological RegionRogers Rock Campground claims its place along one of America's most spectacular glacial lakes. Lake George, carved by ancient ice sheets, stretches an impressive 32 miles through the heart of the Adirondacks. This 28,200-acre aquatic gem plunges to depths of 190 feet, creating a diverse ecosystem that supports both warm-water and cold-water fish species. The surrounding Adirondack Mountains, some of the oldest exposed rock on Earth, provide a dramatic backdrop of billion-year-old geology, while the lake itself serves as a testament to the powerful forces that shaped this remarkable landscape over millennia.
