"You’ll also a well stocked store as well as a really good restaurant/bar on site. The purple section is the quietest and the blue is closest to the activities."
"Dunno why others are complaining about the 3 rocks as a fire pit. Plenty functional and directs the heat out towards the seating area. The pool is as good as it looks in the pictures."
"Great pool (actually boasts the largest heated pool in the Northeast US) and activities. super clean bathrooms and laundry."
"**Lake George RV Park may be the greatest campground we’ve stayed at yet!"
"We rented a golf cart from an outside course which was SUPER expensive, so it would be nice if the campground offered their own rentals, but if that's our only complaint, we're happy campers."
"Staff was super friendly and had us check in on no time. The campground loses a start only because when it's at full capacity, it is very cramped."
"Electric and water hookups. WiFi was great. Cable tv hookups, also. Dump station on site was convenient. Also, they had propane there, so I topped off. Beautiful campground."

GuideNice campground near Killington, VT. Water and dump station. Not for big rigs we have a 21 ft TT. Things were tight but doable. One of the few Vermont state campgrounds that is still open. Most close from second Monday in October until Memorial Day.
LegendWe spent a long weekend at Moose Hillock in Fort Ann, New York, to visit Lake George. This is a difficult place for me to review. But I’ll do my best to share my experience.
The pool is the main attraction here and probably the largest and most ridiculous I’ve ever seen at a campground. Great for young kids.
THINGS I LIKED:
— The sites are enormous and private, probably the biggest sites we’ve ever seen at any campground we’ve stayed at.
— The mature trees are everywhere, great for privacy.
— It’s located about 25-minutes to the heart of Lake George. Easy drive away but not in the loud and busy area.
— The camp store is pretty good and sells snacks, drinks, basic supplies, and souvenirs.
THINGS I DIDN’T LIKE SO MUCH:
— Our site(# 709) was sloped, so much that even with leveling boards under the rear wheels, rear jacks fully extended and front jacks fully retracted, we couldn’t level. That’s annoying and so easily fixed by a campground this size with this array of equipment and resources.
— Except for the entry roads, the rest of the park is gravel and dirt, which was extremely dusty. Our vehicles and our stuff were instantly covered by this dusty dirt which was a never-ending battle to keep outside.
— I’m ok paying premium money for a great site, but this site wasn’t matched to the price. I paid$647.38 for 3-nights. That’s$215.79 per night.
WOULD WE COME BACK?
Probably not. For me, having a level site that’s not covered in dirt and dust is important— especially when it costs$215 per night. There’s a much nicer park about 10-minutes away(closer to Lake George) where we’ve stayed in the past. The sites are smaller, but they’re level.
ScoutVery welcoming... great place. Upkept everything is up to par. Showers are prolly the nicest as far as campgrounds goes.
ScoutPeaceful, quiet, relaxing space. Super friendly staff.
ScoutThis was our first trip away from home. The campgrounds are clean with beautiful views.
TravelerJust stayed at Drapers Acres for the Iron Man in Lake Placid. We stayed in a cabin and daughter and her husband stayed in their rig in an RV site. They clearly state that they are not a camping resort, but a base camp for the area adventures. Rest rooms were clean and had plenty of hot water. Staff was friendly and welcoming! Great playground for the kids to play on and plenty of privacy. Cabin was basic - had fan, heat, mini-fridge and microwave. If visiting the area again, I would not hesitate to stay there again! The RV site was large with plenty of space for their 40 foot rig and jeep. Use AT&T towers and had the ability to use phone as a hotspot.
ScoutWe have stayed here a few times. It’s always clean and quiet. Pool is nice but very family (kid) oriented. Love the trails to the water from both camp loops. Great place to stay with a kayak or paddle board!
TravelerTerrible. Only 1 bar of Verizon. They have WIFI but it’s useless. Plus way too crowded for me. Noisy
GuideWe love camping in VT State parks and this is another humdinger of a park. Lots of room between sites, well-cared for, walkable to lovely lake… excellent camping experience.
The Lake George region surrounding Bolton Landing is located within New York's Adirondack Park at elevations between 320-400 feet. Camping options extend from waterfront sites on Lake George's 44 square miles of water to forested settings in the surrounding mountains. The region experiences four distinct seasons with camping typically available from May through mid-October, with some sites operating through Columbus Day weekend.
Water activities on Schroon River: Lake George Riverview Campground provides direct access to the Schroon River with kayak and canoe rentals. "The river is the attraction at this Campground that provides hours of entertainment. If you are looking for a resort campground with lots of amenities this may not be the campground for you, but if you want a clean beautiful spot on a beautiful river convenient to Bolton's Landing & Lake George Village you will love it here," notes one camper.
Hiking trails nearby: Moose Hillock Camping Resorts sits within 15 minutes of several hiking options. "Nearby is good hiking in Adirondack Park where trails range from easy to difficult and have some great views of the lake and surrounding area. The Inman Pond Trail (about 15 minutes north of the campground) is a nice easy walk in the woods which takes you to a pretty pond good for fishing," according to one reviewer.
Bike path access: King Phillip's Campground connects to the paved Warren County Bikeway. "I'm rating this campground as a 5/5 because of the location. We road the bike path each day to and from Lake George. It was downhill on the way there and a little bit of an uphill battle on the way back but totally worth it! Bring your bikes!!" recommends one visitor.
Private, spacious sites: Moose Hillock Camping Resorts offers unusually large campsites with natural separation. "The sites at this park are huge. You could have parked three RVs in our site. Added bonus is that there is nice separation between sites with trees and shrubs that block out your neighbors and provide lots of privacy," shares one visitor. Sites include custom fire pits and most have ample space for multiple tents or recreational activities.
Island camping experience: Long Island Group offers boat-access camping on Lake George. "Worth a trip from just about anywhere. Absolutely beautiful and you can't beat camping on an island," notes one camper. Sites include platforms for tents, and boat slips for parking your vessel overnight.
Modern bathroom facilities: Lake George RV Park maintains exceptionally clean facilities. "You get what you pay for! This was absolutely a top notch park. Everything was pristine and well maintained," explains one reviewer. Individual bathroom facilities at Lake George Riverview Campground receive similar praise: "The private bathrooms were an unexpected surprise. Each bathroom was large with toilet, sink and shower!"
Seasonal considerations: Most campgrounds operate from May through October with varying opening dates. Rogers Rock Campground runs from May 19 to October 9, while Moose Hillock Camping Resorts operates May 13 to October 13. "Their price for firewood is $9 for an average size bundle but there are plenty of places along Route 149 with better prices," notes one visitor about seasonal pricing variations.
Site selection matters: Campgrounds have significant variation between sites. "With over 400 campsites there are a lot to chose from and hard to know which is best for you unless you have been there before," explains a Lake George Escape visitor. At King Phillip's Campground, "Getting the right site here is key. Some have room, privacy, and trees. Others are close together, and out in the open."
Noise considerations: Campground noise varies significantly by location. "The park is very large so if you want to be near the pool/entertainment area or nearby bathrooms, pick your site accordingly," advises a Moose Hillock visitor. At King Phillip's Campground, "Only downside was the road noise, our site was adjacent to the road and you could hear the loud noise of the tractor trailers all night."
Pool options: Lake George RV Park offers multiple swimming facilities. "Living 10 minutes away, we were looking for an affordable vacation and we found it! There is a beach, indoor pool too! Every time I found something new I was more impressed," shares a visitor. Moose Hillock features a tropical-themed pool with water features: "...features caves, waterfalls, waterslides, LED lights, swim-in theater for nighttime movies, and cabana rentals."
Kid-friendly activities: Campgrounds schedule regular entertainment for children. "Archery was awesome! They have a gift shop and arcade on site as well," mentions a Lake George Escape visitor. Another notes, "Free shows every night at the playhouse kids loved. Animal shows kept daytime events going strong. Water park was great, kids spent all day there."
Yurt camping options near Bolton Landing: For families seeking an alternative to traditional camping, several yurt options exist near Bolton Landing. Lake George Escape Campground offers yurt accommodations with proper beds. "Great Camper campground! This place is great for families, it has different activities, a waterslide, peddle carts, kayaks and boats for rent, dancing, and teen specific activities too!" notes one family.
Site accessibility: RVers should research site dimensions and access routes. "There are trees to navigate and some of the spots are tight," warns a Lake George Riverview visitor. At Rogers Rock Campground, "Some roads are unpaved, unmarked with directional signs, very narrow, and tough to navigate."
Hookup details: Scaroon Manor Campground offers varying hookup options. "No full hookups. The water is difficult to get as you can't connect a regular hose," notes one RVer. At Lake George Riverview, "The sewer hook-up was very weird and at an angle that was hard to secure my hose to. Instead of flowing straight down into the ground, it was at 45 degrees and took a big rock for me to secure it."
Site surface considerations: Site surfaces vary significantly between and within campgrounds. "The site was gravel but just out our door was sand which made for a mess when it rained," shares a King Phillip's visitor. At Ledgeview Village RV Park, campers note "level sites" though some mention "sandy lots" that require preparation during wet weather.
