Medcalf Acres Riverfront Campground - Camping in the Adirondacks.

River Road in Schroon Lake, on the Schroon River, with the river as both the geographic anchor and the camp's main amenity. Most ADK campgrounds sell their location; Medcalf sells the tubing operation that runs straight out of the property and back, which is the working differentiator on this stretch of the river.

The site mix runs seasonal-friendly. Seasonals sign up for the whole summer rather than the one-week slots, which gives the campground a steady community of repeat campers and shapes the social calendar. Wi-Fi and cable TV come standard. The check-in package includes a complimentary bag of ice and firewood, which is the right small touch for a Friday-night arrival.

The activities calendar runs harder than most: river tubing daily through the season, plus Rock 'n' Roll Weekends with live tribute and cover bands at the pavilion. About 20 minutes off Northway Exit 27, Lake George is 30 minutes south. Best for families that want a tubing-and-live-music weekend rhythm rather than a quiet camping experience; not the right pick for solo paddlers looking for silence.
