Whiteface Reservoir is one of our favorite campgrounds. We were sad that so many of the trees had to be cut down, making the sites more open, but we still enjoyed our weekend here. (The trees, will of course, grow again). Teri is always friendly and helpful. Teri and her staff go above and beyond to make sure the campground is well managed to ensure campers have the best camping experience possible! The bathrooms are the cleanest we’ve ever seen in a campground!

Teri and Jeff & their crew did an excellent job (as usual) during our visit to Whiteface Reservoir this June 2024. Campground is kept in great shape; very friendly hosts. Notified us when there was a threat of severe weather, and where to go for shelter in case bad weather happened.
Will be coming back!

Spent three nights at Whiteface, It rained the all three days. So the last day it was sunny and beautiful so we decided to take our time getting packed up and on the road. We knew nobody was coming into this site until tomorrow. We were sitting at the picnic table when the camp host came by and yelled at us from the road. Telling us that checkout was 11 AM. This was about 2 PM. I told her I would pay for the extra time. She yelled back to stop in at the office on the way out. I paid 17 dollars for the 4 hours. I thought the host was extremely rude. She never bothered to actually have a conversation.

Hiking trails are impassable including the one that takes you from the campground to the office, roads are patched and in a state of disrepair, several trees are down that need to be cleaned up. The forest service should be helping to keep this beautiful campground and launch in shape. It has several visitors in a season despite not having a dump station or shower facilities. Obviously there are not enough resources to keep this maintained the way it used to be. Help is needed to staff this facility.
