Paul Smith’s College offers an amazing opportunity for Alums—the chance to stay at the Alumni Campground.
If a rustic camping experience is what you are looking for, this may be your dream come true—there’s no running water or electricity at the Campground, which is just off Keeses Mill Road.
Eight lean-tos and several tent sites offer glimpses of Lower St. Regis Lake and the surrounding mountains. We even have a few RV sites available. Alums may host as many as six people for up to one full week. Reserve a lean-to for $15 per night or a tent site or RV site for $8 per night.
The Alumni Campground is maintained by a volunteer committee made up of alumni, students, and college employees. We host two Campground Clean-up Days each year: in June and September. (Mark your calendar for June 7 & September 13, 2025—contact the Alumni Office for details). Even if you are unable to help during Clean-Up Days, pick up any litter you find when you do visit the Campground.
Campground reservations are always required.
Reserve Online by email: camping@paulsmiths.edu or by phone 518-327-6253.
