Lori and Steve gave us this review on 09/30/03.

Approx Dates of Stay: September, 2003. Overall Campground Rating: horrible. What stood out? Campsite rules not disclosed on website. Although advertised as dog friendly, unless you are prepared to not leave your campsite (to venture into town or take advantage of fishing, canoeing or hiking without the dogs) this is not the campground to visit. We went to town for 3 hours to do antiquing. We travel with two 5 year old labs who are very well behaved. Returned to our campsite to find a nasty...

Water was warm and clean. The St. Regis canoe loop offers extended paddling opportunities. Decent general store within a mile of the entrance to the park. Downside is that very few sites had defined boundaries, much less any privacy from the adjacent sites.

Approx Dates of Stay: Aug.2004. Overall Campground Rating: excellent. What stood out? Very clean, freindly staff and fellow campers. I liked the free shuttle that went into town that dropped and picked up passengers at the IGA. Great not only for picking up groceries but to go into town to eat dinner out without looking for a place to park when the streets are so busy on summer evenings. With a restaurant, bar, two pools, large playground, and activities, this is not primitive camping. Wonderful for kids, have them bring their...

Overall Campground Rating: very good.

What stood out? A large, sprawling complex, good or bad depending on how you look at it. Some may like the sandy soil of the campgrounds, or may find it annoying or potentially damaging to tent fabric. Water conveniently located, bathrooms reasonably clean, but shower building is small and not centrally located. Moreau Lake State Park is located very close to I-87, making it convenient to get to, but somewhat less than isolated in terms of occasional distant highway noise. It is also near a...
