Comments
I agree that Moreau is a very nice park but I don’t believe it is the most popular campground in NY. That title belongs to Fish Creek Ponds on Route 30 north of Tupper Lake.

I like to camp in the D loop. It is really a matter of preference, but this is close to the restrooms, the lake and the trail.
