GenieSummary

Ausable Point Campground is a great destination for outdoor enthusiasts. Located at the mouth of the Ausable River and marsh, it offers beautiful views of Lake Champlain and Vermont. Activities like hiking, biking, walking, disc golf, kite surfing, kayaking, boating, fishing, parasailing, and paddle boarding are all available. There are also plenty of opportunities for birding, water activities, and beach walking. The campground has three loops, with sites ranging from lakefront to riverfront. There are no hookups, but water is available throughout the campground. There are 10 showers total for the whole campground, and an electrical outlet outside the showers. There is also a day use area with a beach, perfect for picnics and birthday parties. If youre looking for a cabin, there are some available for rent. The campground is popular in the fall for apple picking at Rulfs Orchard and for wind surfing. Be sure to check the weather before kayaking, as the lake can get very rough. The bathrooms and showers are clean, but dated. Verizon Hot spot and cell phones work well. Big rigs may have some problems with low hanging trees and narrow roads.

From The Campground

Ausable Point Campground & Day Use Area is a DEC campground located in New York. The majority of the campground was constructed in 1965 and opened to the public in 1966. The campground offers a view of Valcour Island across the lake to the north. On a clear day, the silhouette of Garden Island strikes the pose of a battleship. Known locally as 'Battleship Island', it is believed that the first major sea battle of the American Revolution was fought at this location. The campground offers a Junior Naturalist Program for young children (5-13) and their families. Enjoy games and activities to earn a beautiful embroidered patch. The city of Plattsburgh offers movie theaters, shopping malls, fast food and fine dining restaurants. Marinas and golf courses are also close by.
