Crown Point Campground

If you drive your RV rental just 30 minutes south of the campground, you’ll find the old Revolutionary War base, Fort Ticonderoga. Learn all about the nation’s military heritage and what life was like in colonial America. The 2,000-acre fort also offers boat cruises, tours, demonstrations, exhibits, historic interpretations, and other programs. The trip down to the fort is scenic and goes right alongside the coast. The city of Crown Point is rich in American history kept alive through museums and relics. Crown Point State Historic Site is a short walk from the RV campground. It once held two army barracks (French and British) from the Revolutionary War. Visitors can now walk freely through both of the ruins. There are also hiking trails nearby. Bring the family, explore the land, and learn all you can about Crown Point’s part in American history. Midway between Crown Point and Fort Ticonderoga, you’ll find Veterans' Memorial Park. It honors the local men who served and died in the Civil War. This grassy park is dotted with healthy conifer trees and is a nice place to go for a stroll or take the dog for a walk. If you’re there at the right time of year, you could happen upon the annual Strawberry Festival or Classic Car Show. There are no gas stations on the peninsula, but a short drive to the New York mainland will land you near a few stations. When it’s time for some food, you can cross the bridge into Vermont and eat at a local spot, or head back down the peninsula to the mainland again, where you'll find plenty of eateries up 9N. If your camping trip is taking you back on the road, the nearest major city is Burlington, Vermont, which is an hour’s drive north.
