HOPKINTON -- The Adirondack Park Agency last week approved an application to build and run a 44-site campground on the Lake Ozonia Road.

The project involves construction and operation of a campground which would be open from May 15 to Oct. 15 each year on a 52.28-acre parcel of land. The application was made by Lydia’s Place, Inc. and Timothy S. Sharlow.

The campground would include water, electric and septic hookups. Wetlands exist on the project site, but none would filled as a result of the project, according to APA agenda notes.

According to the application, seven small buildings will be built, each less than 1,250 square feet, including an open-air pavilion, two toilet buildings, a shower house, recycling/garbage sheds, and water supply treatment building. Community water supply and on-site wastewater treatment systems will be developed for the project.

Proposed campground rules include quiet hours from 10 p.m. to 8 a.m., campfires to be limited to those firepits having a concrete base, and swimming to be prohibited in Lyd’s Brook, which runs through the property.

Sites will be available for transient or seasonal occupation.

An unlighted wooden sign will be at the entrance to the campground.

Restrictions include provisions that all RVs at the site will be readily moveable. There is a building height limit of 25 feet, and they will be “of a color which blends with the existing vegetation,” according to the APA.

A state Department of Health permit will also be required.

The Town of Hopkinton has said that it has no review jurisdiction over the project, according to the APA project permit.
