Twin Ells RV Park

Twin Ells RV Park in West Chazy, New York, is a family-history campground established in 1970 by Edward Labossiere and Clarence Lewis in Clinton County — a park whose name honors the twin wives of its founders, Hattie and Maddie, and whose more than 50 years of operation in the northeastern New York Champlain Valley give it the specific multi-generational family campground character of an Adirondack foothills property deeply embedded in the West Chazy community's outdoor recreation culture. West Chazy's Clinton County position in the Champlain Valley, 10 miles north of Plattsburgh on US-9 and NY-9B, gives the park the practical Lake Champlain and Adirondack access alongside the Canadian border proximity that gives the northeastern New York campground its specific cross-border tourism and the Plattsburgh Air Force Base heritage community's outdoor recreation market. Established RV sites with the complete Champlain Valley campground infrastructure give Twin Ells the comfortable northern New York base for the Lake Champlain fishing, the Adirondack foothills hiking, and the Plattsburgh area's historical and cultural attractions that the Clinton County campground's Champlain Valley position makes accessible within the day-trip radius of the campground's West Chazy location. The campground's 1970 founding and its family ownership history give it the institutional character of a campground that three generations of Champlain Valley outdoor recreation visitors have specifically returned to. Pets are welcome. Lake Champlain, five miles east of West Chazy on the New York-Vermont state line, is the sixth-largest freshwater lake in the United States — a 120-mile glacially carved lake between the Adirondack and Green Mountain ranges whose walleye, lake trout, landlocked Atlantic salmon, and the trophy northern pike fishery sustain one of the most diverse and most productive freshwater fisheries in the northeastern United States. The Lake Champlain Bridge at Crown Point and the Plattsburgh-Burlington ferry give the lake its two vehicle crossing points in the 120-mile length, and the lake's Maritime Museum in Basin Harbor, Vermont, and the 1814 Battle of Plattsburgh's naval engagement that ended the British invasion give the Champlain corridor its specific naval and military history alongside the natural fisheries. Plattsburgh, 10 miles south of West Chazy in Clinton County, is the home of the State University of New York at Plattsburgh and the site of the most significant American naval victory of the War of 1812 — Commodore Thomas Macdonough's 1814 naval battle against the British squadron in Plattsburgh Bay gave the American negotiators at Ghent the territorial leverage that preserved the US-Canada border at the status quo ante bellum. The Battle of Plattsburgh Association's museum and the September anniversary events give the Champlain Valley campground its most historically significant day-trip heritage destination in the northern New York corridor. Twin Ells RV Park serves guests through Clinton County's northern New York camping season from May through October, with the Lake Champlain fishing season from May through September and the Adirondack fall foliage from early October through mid-October giving the West Chazy campground its two most active outdoor recreation visitor seasons. Montreal, 60 miles north of West Chazy on I-87 and the Champlain-Lacolle border crossing, gives the Clinton County campground its most significant international day-trip destination in the most culturally vibrant city in Quebec's St. Lawrence River corridor. Reserve sites ahead for the summer Lake Champlain fishing season and the fall foliage peak.
