The Lake Eaton campground is 12 miles north of the Adirondack Museum and 1.5 miles from the Village of Long Lake. We will plan to follow our normal schedule. You will need to make your own campsite reservations through Reserve America Online. We will be reserving in the area of sites 60-85, 120-135. Read carefully because some are walk-to sites (Park car & carry your gear). You will need to reserve ASAP because sites go fast.
