Interested in camping at Big Moose Oct 9,10. Are there any camp sites available.
It’s possible but first come first serve, so get there early as it might be popular — even if it’s past peak for the leaves.
My friend and I love your stuff. It is so ridiculously informative!
Looking for advice on your favorite camping spots in the Moose River Plains.
Thank you.
I like campsite 56 as it’s totally hidden from the road, and campsite 80 which has a little known trail back to the Moose River. But any of the campsites around the Big T and the Red River with the sand and the open canopy are quite nice.
Hey! Really love all the info you have here and so appreciative that you actually have the coordinates for us to find them 😂 do you have any suggestions or opinions for the best roadside spots with access to waterways? Very helpful with cooking, having kids and pups
There are several campsites near the Moose River and Beaver Lake Road which are on water or near it.
Great informative site! Do you have any suggestions for sites for groups:2-3 rvs and 3 people in tent/vehicle?
50-54 and Helldiver Pond Road, which is 57-60 I believe, along with the loop near Silver Brook that is 9-13 or somewhere around the number of sites.
Looking for recommended vehicle accessible sites with privy closer to Inlet. Interested in easy hikes nearby. And lakes, ponds or othet areas that people always see or hear loons. Planning for end of July 2022 with my husband and will be almost 15 years old grandson. It will be our first time camping outside of established state parks and private campgrounds. We have a Jeep Liberty with 4 wheel drive and probably tents. But may have our tent camper if we can get roof repaired by then
In July usually Rock Dam Road is opened. There are several nice sites there. Or you can the mainline Cedar River Limekiln Lake Road for good camping anywhere along there. Campsites start five miles to the south east of the Limekiln Lake entrance, it’s fairly remote – 20 minute drive from the entrance
Does anyone know what the location (coordinates) are for Site 87?
Campsite 87 is 43.65947, -74.70055
http://mapper.acme.com/?ll=43.65946,-74.70055&z=15&t
Any idea if this site has a privy, or a way I can find out? We were camping at the flow a few years ago and went for a drive around the loop scouting potential future sites. We came across 87 and really liked it. I can’t remember if there was an outhouse or not. At the time, HEAVY rains had came through the night before and eroded the riverbank enough where the concrete cast fireplace had tumbled into the river. Was wondering if they ever repaired it.
Unfortuantely, I do not know. I haven’t been up to MRP in a few years
Hello,
I see there are campsites on Blue Mountain Lake Islands, but very hard finding info on them. DEC locator don’t even show the islands or sites. Any Info on camping these sites?? Thanks>>
The DEC mentions those sites on their website but I’ve not been to those islands, and it’s not in the DEC database or Open Street Map.

I’ve stayed at one of those sites at the western point of Long Island. Rented a boat at the Blue Mountain Lake marina. They were nice sites. Very secluded. I think only one other site was occupied while we were there, but you’d never know. At the public boat launch there is a sign-in book for the sites. There’s also access to hike Castle Rock from the lake close to the campsites.
