Moffitt Beach State Park Campground was awful. Moffitt Beach State Park Campground was wonderful. How can that be?
First evening, Saturday September 5th 2015. Generators yammering like the hammers of hell, or was it white trash heaven, take your pick. Fortunately the park requires the micro power plants to shut down at 7:00 pm, which is sort of adhered to. Best thing about that is, once the racket from the generators died down, we were free to hear the dogs at all the surrounding sites barking and yammering away. That, and the card game across the road with the limited four-letter vocabulary. Moffitt Beach? More like Jersey Shore.
Second evening, Sunday September 6, 2015. Had been out hiking all day, returned to find most of the drunks, generators, and canine campers had vanished. Peace, solitude, quiet was the order of the evening. Moffitt Beach was wonderful on this night.
So when you have one night score excellent, and another score terrible, I suppose the average is...average.
I'd go back again, midweek, after the summer season.

We spent the evening listening to Boomer play at the restaurant. The food was very good, the staff was attentive, and the band was great! The sun setting on the water was gorgeous. It was a memorable evening. If I lived nearby, I would come back again.

We stopped here on our way to a 2-day ski trip at nearby Gore Mountain, and we were so glad we did! Very small resort (just one (very slow) lift, and about 20 trails. Most were green and blue- great for newer skiiers and kids....MoreThank you so much! Hope to see you again soon!

Not many full-service grocery stores in the southern and mid Adirondacks (Tupper Lake and North Creek do have them). Charlie Johns has everything you need at fair prices. Good deli. Good beer selection and it has it's own refrigerated room. Good bakery products. Also has general campground supplies. Service is always pleasant.

This was our first time snowmobiling and we had a great time. The Village Rentals staff was very friendly and helpful; the sled we rented was great. There are tons of trails in and around Speculator to explore.
