I don't know about you but I hate booking on-line and not knowing if the site I book will be roomy, or too small, or hard to get my camper into. I decided to take a tour of Moffitt Beach Campground and make notes of sites that I wouldn't want to use. I'm including a few pictures to give you ideas. I also have a list of favorite sites at the end of this section.
First of all, the vast majority of sites are appropriately described in Reserve America for the side equipment that can fit in them. However, just because your equipment can fit in it, it may not be a good site. I'm going to point out a few of the good and some of the sites that may not be ones you would want to choose.
1a, 2,a 3a, 4a, and 32 are flat, open small sites right on the main strip. The good aspect of these sites is if you have kids that want to spend a lot of time at the beach you can see them from your site. If you go as a group, you may not mind the lack of privacy these sites give.
Sites 5-11. It's a small dead end hill. The sites are small, unlevel, and there's no way I would consider site 10 as the pull through. I went in my truck and had trouble making it in and out without any equipment attached.
Sites 12-23: a small circle right near the picnic area, again might be ok with kids that you want close to the beach, but they were very small and lots of roots. Site 20 says a 20 foot can back in, I'm not a professional trailer driver, but I'm not bad, and there's no way I could fit my trailer in that site. If it's a small site and I need to use my tent, then I'd prefer a flat spot, not roots. this is a picture of I believe site 22 and those roots are all through the site and most of the sites in this circle.
Sites 24to 31: 24-26 I wouldn't want to use, but the rest of the sites in this area are ok.
Sites 33-78: Further from the beach as the numbers increase, 36 and 38 must have just lost a few large trees but are fairly flat and would be ok especially if you need two sites.
52 says a tent site and it's flat and roomy enough, but it shares a driveway with 54 so hopefully you get along with your neighbors. 58 is a nice enough site, but it has 2 posts very close on either side of the driveway, very hard to maneuver. You need to be really good at backing up your equipment to get that 20 foot piece in between the posts. 64 would also be hard to back into, but I believe they have it listed as tent only, so that works. 65 and 67 are shared space, better if you need two sites. 70 and 71 are tent only as Reserve America advises. 78 is a no go.
106-171: most are very nice and roomy. The exceptions are 151, 149, 148, 138, 167, and 169. Site 161 is large but unlevel and hard to back into. A lot of this area is more wooded, fairly flat and some really large sites that have some space between them and the net site. Some of the water sites make my list of favorite sites.
176-259: many of these sites are what you think of when you think of a campsite in the Adirondacks.
The exceptions are: 178 is small, 180 is hard to back into, 181, 211, 215, and 217 my notes just say yuck. 193 is a nice enough site, but hard to back into, as is 196, 198, 205, 220. 227 is supposed to be a pull through but it looks like a cut through for the road more than a site.
The picture above is site 253.
Most sites are nice and big and spacious.
I could have a party in this one!
Site 223. most of the sites on the water side in this circle are like this.
So nice overlooking the lake
If only I could have a sunny day to really show off this site!
This is my site, 252, not only can I fit my camper, my truck and my tent, look how roomy it still was. It's on a little bay which is great to keep the power boats away from your site. I could still put my kayak in but there are a lot of rocks that give very little depth in the cove.
So some of my favorite sites are 112, 114, 117, 118, 207, 221-226, 229-242, 250-252a. So basically the majority of sites are roomy and appropriately sized based on Reserve America, but there are some I'd just avoid.
