Discover Nicks Lake Campground RV rentals for memorable road trips

Nicks Lake Campground is a recent addition to the state's recreational properties, having been opened to the public in 1966; it was named after Nick Stoner, a local legend. The campground is adjacent to a shallow lake that permits non-motorized boats, making it an ideal spot for swimming, canoeing, and kayaking. At dawn or dusk, you can use your rowboat or canoe to troll for brown trout or bass while listening to the loons discretely hidden away near the lake's shoreline. From your Old Forge camper rental, you can enjoy magnificent sunsets along with the loons.

Getting Outdoors

Independence River Wild Forest is a forest preserve that is open to the public year-round; it's characterized by lakes and rivers, wetlands, and rolling hills. The preserve has several access roads that you can use to enter by motor vehicle and perhaps even take a self-guided auto tour of the landscape in the comforts of your camper rental. In the winter, some of the roads are plowed, but some are left untouched for use by snowmobilers; you can also enjoy hiking, horseback riding, paddling, and boating while you visit. The preserve has a historic fire tower that was built from wood in 1912 (it was replaced by a metal structure in 1919), with panoramic views that extend for miles and miles.

The RV is clean, comfortable, and has an excellent layout. Michael is super responsive, very flexible with drop off and pick up, and overall a super host. Will definitely rent from him again when needed.
