2 campgrounds about 8-10 miles from Lake Placid are pretty much in heart of the 'dacks as the locals call it. 1 is a KOA, the other is private (North Pole Campground(?) was another thread about this area just recently)and seems to garner better reviews/votes. Lake George is about a 90 minute drive from Lake Placid. CG in LG area are pricey in season, but tend to drop off some after Labor Day. West Canada Creek Campground is approx 12 miles NNE of Utica or on very southern edge of the 'dacks. Old Forge, Inlet, Tupper Lake, Speculator all doable in a day. Old Forge camping resort has 30A, w/e sites (no full h/u or use of A/C's or elect water heaters)
