Golden Beach Campground
Long sandy swimming beach with a gradual toddler-friendly entry on Raquette Lake, backed by pine-shaded campsites and a boat launch
A state campground on the southeastern shore of Raquette Lake with one of the best swimming beaches in the Adirondack Park: a long sandy crescent with a gradual entry that suits toddlers as well as teenagers. Sites sit back in tall pines behind the beach and a boat launch gives access to one of the largest natural lakes in the park. It is a straightforward, old-fashioned family campground where the day plan is usually just the beach. The village store at Raquette Lake covers basic supplies.
