What stood out? We stayed in loop C which is the biggest loop of the campground. Loop A and B are for pets and the roads and sites seemed a litte run down. We did not check out loop E or F. Bathrooms are average, and the playground area needs more updates, the campstore is great and our kids had fun buying candy. Hamlin is great for a short camping trip due the close proximity to home but would not stay...

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...

Ellen gave us this review on 06/12/05.

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...
