About
Golden Beach Campground sits on the shore of Raquette Lake in the central Adirondacks, about 3 miles from Raquette Lake village. The campground has 197 campsites with no electric or water hookups, along with a shower building, restrooms, and a trailer dump station. Dogs are welcome on leash but may not be left unattended or brought onto the beach or into day-use areas. The campground typically closes for the season in early September, so check exact dates before planning a late-summer trip.
Fees
Standard sites run about $17 per night plus a $7.25 reservation fee ($1.25 for walk-ins); out-of-state campers pay an additional $5 per night. No sites here have electric or water hookups.
