Worst experience ever. Checked in last night said we could only stay on that site for maximum of 2 days cause it's reserved after that, but said we could move our camper across the road tomorrow the next day and stay the remainder of our 6 days. Husband moves camper across the lot sets up and 4 hours later they came up and said you have to move again we rented this lot. This website and the people running the campsite are not on the same page. So we packed up and left.
"Is the Macomb State Park area for everyone or just campers? My Brother, having been raised on a farm in Clinton County, has a love for fishing. He raised six children of his own and did not have time to fish very often. He lived in Albany for a while but has spent most of his life living and paying taxes in Clinton County. At eighty-two years old he really enjoys the time he has to do some fishing near where he has lived for quite some time. So one night, about forty yards from the bridge at Macomb Park, he's fishing for Bullhead and is told by the caretaker that he'll have to leave because the park is closed. He wasn't even in the park and hadn't set up any kind of camping gear to warrant being told to leave. Whatever he brings with him he also takes, leaving no sign anyone had ever been there. Been doing this for years. So does the caretaker now tell the fish to relocate until the park reopens, or is it that he just has a power trip and enjoys harassing old people that like to fish? Shouldn't there be a Park Ranger involved in such a removal? Especially of an eighty-two year old man, minding his own business, quietly fishing Outside the park! Please tell me."
Signed,
Nice camping and hiking

The bathroom at the end of this loop were very clean! The staff were pleasant and sociable. The park was, "kinda", clean...ish. Sorta. No toilet paper blooms like you find along trails in the ADKs, but cig butts, bottle caps, and melted/burned trash in the fire pits. We always spend 15 or 20 minutes when we get to a site policing it up and scooping the fire pit, but you have to expect that when camping in a campground. Site 35, contrary to what the Reserve America map shows, is the last site right ON the water, with a wooded hill next to it. It isn't level, so plan to use leveling legs or putting one tire on a block. We have a tiny, lightweight Aspen Classic motorcycle popup tent camper, so it was easy for us. Bigger trailers might want to opted for sites 24-33 or so, as they are more level.
We stayed at site 35 for three days, on a Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. We like to arrive to camp when the weekend crowds are leaving, because mid week most of these State Parks are fairly empty and quiet. We had the entire peninsula to ourselves, so it was idyllic. (sites 26-35 are considered the peninsula, and all are right on the water). Fishing is as easy as 15 steps from your tent/trailer down to waters edge, but the slope at sites 33, 34, and 35 are steep, 35 being the steepest. You could launch canoes, kayaks, or paddleboards right at your site, but the bottom is soft and a little mucky, so bring water shoes. Watch for snapping turtles, muscles, leaches, and blue/green algae blooms.
Lot of space between lots . not a crowded place too. Bring your canoe to pladdle on pond. Newly renovated showers. Many sites with electricity. Shared water every 100ft. Great place, near canada and cheap!!!!
It was peaceful, quiet, and money well spent.
