An RV campground in the southern Adirondacks (New York) could more than double in size. At its board meeting yesterday (Oct. 9), the Adirondack Park Agency (APA) approved nearly 360 new RV sites along the shores of Great Sacandaga Lake. Some on the APA board echoed public concerns about the campground’s impact, according to NCPR.
Great Sacandaga Lake, on the southern edge of the park, is one of the busiest lakes in the Adirondacks during the summer tourism season.
For 55 years, the Sunset Bay RV Park in the Fulton County town of Mayfield has been able to host 283 campers along the southern shore of the lake.
Now, the owner of that campground wants to add nearly 360 new RV sites. The Adirondack Park Agency’s Ariel Lynch presented the project to the board at Thursday’s meeting.
The APA’s approved permit includes some conditions relating to lighting and signage, fencing, wastewater treatment, stormwater pollution prevention, and road improvements.
