Description
The Lake George Islands campsites, divided into three groups, Glen Island, Long Island, and Narrow Island, are located on Lake George, America's "Queen" Lake. Camping here is unique; Lake George Islands campsites are accessible by boat only and are spread out over much of the lake. Each of the three camping islands has its own headquarters, to make site registration as convenient as possible. After campers choose the area in which they wish to camp, they continue to a private marina to park and launch. Fishing, hiking, bird watching, boating and sailing are included in the many activities campers enjoy on these wonderful islands.
