Lake Harris Campground, Camping area at Lake Harris, Newcomb, New York.
Lake Harris Campground is a campground along Lake Harris in Newcomb featuring 89 campsites distributed between the shoreline and inland areas. The facility provides direct water access and includes shower buildings, toilet facilities, and a dump station for trailers.
The campground was established in 1962 by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation following two years of construction. Its creation was part of a broader effort to develop recreational facilities around regional lakes.
The campground connects visitors to the natural environment through interpretive programs and educational activities about local flora and fauna.
The campground is easy to navigate and well-organized with separate areas for tents and trailers. It is best to visit during summer months when all facilities and boat rental services are fully operational.
Nearby hiking trails connect the campground to two mountain summits where old fire lookout towers stand. These vantage points offer sweeping views across heavily forested terrain with very few signs of development.
