Lake Harris Campground is located on the northern shore of 275-acre Lake Harris, fed by the mighty Hudson River. Private campsites are sheltered among large hardwood trees, which offer splendid color contrasts throughout the year. While the lake offers many watercraft opportunities, many love visiting the Visitor Interpretive Center or the Santanoni Preserve Historic Site, both close by. Recreational opportunities include canoeing and boating, fishing, hiking, and bicycling.

Motor boats, rowboats, and canoes allowed, with rowboat and canoe rentals available. A small, informal boat launch is available in the campground, and a larger, town-owned launch is located across the lake. Fishing is plentiful here, for northern pike, small and large mouth bass, walleye, and yellow perch. Hiking trails can be found on the nearby Santanoni Preserve. The trail to the Santanoni Preserve is in the park off of Site 090. The park offers trails to the summits of Goodnow and Vanderwhacker Mountains and a major trail head to the High Peaks Wilderness Area, located at Tahawus. Nature trails can be found at the Visitors Center in Newcomb, Woodrift Pond and a fitness trail near the town beach.

The campground offers shoreline and off-water campsites, hot showers, flush toilets, a trailer dump station, a recycling center, a boat launch, canoe and boat rentals, and a picnic area.
