Rogers Rock Campground - Hague, NY

Nice campground close to Clifton Park area (just over an hour drive). The beach was clean and good for swimming, docks that you can sit on and watch the sunset, nice wooded areas and a lot of wildlife around – there was a Porcupine right by our fire pit at night!

We went up to see my college buddies who camp there every year and spent about 4 hours visiting their adjoining campsites. Each has space for two vehicles to park with room for a large tent, a concrete-backed fire pit which we cooked on, and a wooden picnic table. Recommendations include a mesh enclosure for the table and a hammock or two for the teenagers. Plenty of shade on their loop with the washrooms conveniently located nearby. Hague is a beautiful small town near the site for essentials and a Jeep drives around selling firewood for ? per plastic bin (30 or 40 quart size) with local options also available.

If you have a dog, BRING A RABIES VACCINATION CERT! Even visitors need to show proof of vaccination. It will speed up the process of entry and some cell carriers lack service in that area. Have a great time!

Rented a campsite for 2 tents, 4 people and 2 cars. Campsite was 12 x 18 – 20ft with a fireplace on one side and a picnic table in the middle. We had to park our cars on the side of the “road” which was only 1 car wide to begin with. We had all of 4ft between the fronts of our tents.

Restroom placement on the map should have been right behind us. Nope. 200 feet, then turn and walk up hill another couple hundred feet. And the bathrooms are 4 stalls and absolutely disgusting. We used the woods and garbage bags. It was that bad.

Let’s move on to the showers. There are none anywhere near where our site was. You have to go out to the main road, cross over into the main park, past the registration booth and then try to find the right path/ road to get to one. It’s about 3/4 of a mile or so. And there are only 3 showers for the entire campground of 300 +/- individual sites plus the group sites.

There was no one to check us in. No one to help us locate our site. No one to tell us where to buy firewood.

We made the reservation based off Google reviews and to be honest, it’s like we stayed at a different campground than everyone . Trip Advisor only gives it 3. We should have done more research.

I was coming to spend the night by myself, from a previous two-night group camping.
My campsite needed to have decent access for a touring motorcycle.
I selected Site #31, which was pretty “rocky”, and had a small flat area where some had been doing “donuts in the mud” (more rocks).
I walked back to the entrance booth and the girl gave another one that I selected, two over from 31. #27 was excellent.
I was able to access the lake directly down from Site 27, without any formal “trail”, so under my own risk. I swam a bit the evening of my arrival, and this morning during sunrise, “nature against nature in full disclosure”.
The site had a brick pit and plenty of firewood.
The bathroom that I used was spotless.

So I would love to leave a higher review on this because I love this campground, I really do. It has some really beautiful sites. You can go to the beach, hike, camp and rock-climb all from the park pretty sweet. However, it has dirty bathrooms, some without soap?! It’s as if they’ve just unlocked doors and called it a day. The sites are decently cared for but I usually do a walk around to pick up microtrash. The buildings themselves could also use some cleaning repair and paint. Because I run a park and have run a campground I took the time to talk to the staff and get a better picture of what was going on. They are all nice people but you can tell they are over worked and short staffed. This is a HUGE park. I think the staff there are doing the best they can with what they are given. I wish the DEC and state would give it a little more love and attention. Especially since it’s such a busy park.
