Alpine Lake RV Resort sits approximately 20 minutes from Lake George in the southern Adirondack region, offering camping access throughout the prime May-October season. The resort area around Corinth features wooded terrain with elevation changes between 600-800 feet, creating natural drainage and fewer mosquitoes than lakeside locations. Tent sites, RV hookups, and cabin accommodations are available at multiple campgrounds within a 25-mile radius of Corinth.
What to do
Fishing the Schroon River: Lake George Riverview Campground offers direct river access for anglers. "My kids really enjoyed fishing & floating in the river," notes one visitor who stayed at a river site. The beach area makes launching easy for fishing or paddling.
Hiking nearby trails: Trails range from easy walks to challenging climbs within short driving distances. "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," shares a Moose Hillock Camping Resorts visitor. Other trails like Pinnacle Trail offer views of Lake George.
Swimming options beyond the lake: Most campgrounds maintain their own pools for swimming when you don't want to drive to Lake George. "The pool was nice but small. The river is the attraction at this Campground that provides hours of entertainment," reports a camper from Lake George Riverview.
What campers like
Private, spacious sites: Unlike crowded lakeside options, many campgrounds near Corinth offer more room. "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," explains a visitor to Lake George RV Park.
Yurt camping options: For those wanting a glamping experience near Corinth, New York, several resorts offer yurt accommodations. "Lake George Escape Campground offers yurts that are quite popular in peak season. Reservations should be made 2-3 months in advance," according to a recent camper.
Clean facilities: Most campgrounds maintain high standards for bathrooms and shower facilities. "Bathrooms and Showers are clean. Over 20 miles in hiking trails, this is one of the nicest parks I've visited," writes a reviewer at Moreau Lake State Park Campground.
What you should know
Seasonal considerations: Many campgrounds operate on limited schedules. "May 6 to October 13" is the typical season for Moreau Lake State Park Campground, with most facilities closed during winter months.
Road noise varies by location: Some campgrounds suffer from highway proximity. "The Northway was directly to the west, maybe 1000 ft through the woods, extremely loud traffic noise," warns a Lake George Campsites visitor. Campgrounds further from I-87 tend to be quieter.
Reservation requirements: Peak summer weekends fill quickly, especially for glamping and yurt camping near Corinth. "Some sites don't become available until 2 weeks prior due to minimum stay requirements in peak season," notes a Moose Hillock camper.
Tips for camping with families
Pool alternatives: When campground pools get crowded, look for river options. "The Schroon River run right through the campgrounds and you can rent kayaks and canoes or bring your own to go a ride. There is a little beach and just launch on site," explains a visitor at Lake George Riverview Campground.
Playground access: Families with young children should consider proximity to play areas. "Great campground for families, we stayed at a tent site right near the playground. Pool, arcade, a short trolley ride to downtown lake George," shares a King Phillip's Campground reviewer.
Transportation options: Several campgrounds offer trolley services to Lake George attractions. "There is also another trolly to the village of Lake George, Great Escape and the outlet center," notes a Lake George RV Park visitor.
Tips from RVers
Site selection importance: Not all RV sites offer the same privacy or access. "Getting the right site here is key. Some have room, privacy, and trees. Others are close together, and out in the open," advises a King Phillip's Campground camper.
Leveling challenges: Some campgrounds require extra equipment. "Sites are decent size, but be sure to bring boards to level your trailer for some sites are quite uneven!" warns a Lake George RV Park visitor.
Seasonal vs. transient sites: Many campgrounds cater primarily to seasonal campers. "This campground turned out to be o.k. with a mix of good and bad aspects. It is pretty large with lots of seasonal campers which brings a mixed bag. Some seasonals had very nice, well-kept sites while others have junk and clutter everywhere," notes a visitor to King Phillip's.
