Lake George Islands Narrow Island Group is located near Bolton Landing, NY, and features a terrain of wooded areas and lakefront views. The weather varies with summer temperatures ranging from 60°F to 85°F and winter temperatures dropping to 15°F to 35°F.

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 areas 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. Geography: Glen Island, Long Island, and Narrow Island are separate campgrounds located on Lake George. Lake George was created at the end of the last ice age when glacial deposits dammed up two ancient rivers that flowed through the valley. In 1885, the New York State Forest Commission, known today as the Department of Environmental Conservation, was given charge of the Forest Preserve. During the late 1930's, and through the 1940's, the Commission expanded development of the island campgrounds, with the help of the Civilian Conservation Corps. Recreation: Lake George is 32 miles long, 3 miles wide at its widest point, with a maximum depth of 195 feet; it offers some of the best recreational boating opportunities in the Northeast. All types of watercraft are allowed on the lake. The water in Lake George allows light to penetrate exceptionally deep, resulting in a two-story fishery, with landlocked salmon and lake trout found at 50-180 foot levels, while bass and pike tend to gather in weed beds. Over 50 miles of hiking trails lead to mountains overlooking the lake and to remote mountain ponds. Facilities: There are campsites in the Narrow Island Group, the Glen Island Group, and on Long Island, all accessible by boat only. Most sites are well-forested and private. All sites have a dock for at least one boat, a fireplace, a picnic table, and a toilet facility. Picnic areas have charcoal grills, fireplaces, and tables, and picnic shelters that hold up to 15 people each. Nearby Attractions: Nearby attractions include the Million Dollar Beach, Waterslide World, and The Great Escape. Nearby activity options include parasailing, horseback riding, and miniature golf.

I have stayed on Nobles Island &amp; Floating Battery Island in the Narrows of Lake George. You must have a power boat ride out there or be up for a long paddle. TAKE EVERYTHING you need including extra ice. Once there, settle in &amp; relax, you aren't going anywhere. Nice for forced relaxation if you want to read, sleep, have limited interaction.

Warning: lots of boat motor noise esp on summer weekends which sadly dilutes the otherwise "cut off" feeling.

PLEASE do not pollute the lake with soaps or detergents of ANY kind.

Check the weather before your stay- you may be able to swap for a site on the opposite side of the island if you get an idea of where the winds will be coming from. Don't under estimate this tip.

Book 9 months in advance &amp; good luck. Last minute cancellations are a common occurance though.

Pit toilets leave something to be desired, but consider where you are.

We ate fresh fish everyday. Great kayaking &amp; hiking.

Different Experience but Awesome

I love this place so much I almost feel like I shouldn’t say it’s amazing... but. That’s not what we do here! So- it’s amazing!
