Campgrounds near Corinth sit within the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains at elevations ranging from 600-900 feet. The camping season typically runs from May through mid-October, with average summer temperatures between 70-85°F during the day and 55-65°F overnight. Many sites feature sandy or graveled pads that drain well after the occasional summer thunderstorms common to the region.
What to do
Swimming at Moreau Lake State Park Campground: The sandy beach features an 8-foot deep swimming area with seasonal lifeguards. "The beach area seems to be a draw for people so the summer camping season is probably packed. The snack bar and gift/supplies shop at the sandy beach area were not open as we were there late in the season," notes Nancy W. who stayed at Moreau Lake State Park Campground.
Kayaking on Lake Luzerne: Boat rentals available directly from the campground for exploring the motorboat-free lake. "My overall favorite place. Lover being on the far side of the lake with the private beach and no motorboats allowed. Tons of bike riding options. Great little lake for kayaking and fishing," says Dan H. from Luzerne Campground.
Biking to Lake George: Access the paved bike path connecting Lake George Village to Glens Falls. "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!!" advises Stephanie H. who stayed at Whippoorwill Campsites.
Fishing for local species: Fish directly from lakeside campsites at Alpine Lake or from shore at Lake Luzerne. "We get our site close to the lake so we can walk down and swim and my husband fishes. The showers are so nice and private and clean. Love that we can rent boats too," shares Antoinette W. who visits Luzerne Campground regularly.
What campers like
Privacy between campsites: Moose Hillock offers exceptionally spacious, well-separated sites. "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," explains Nancy W. from Moose Hillock Camping Resorts.
Clean shower facilities: Most campgrounds maintain excellent bathroom facilities even during peak season. "I love the spacious campsites. It's very woodsy between sites, so it seems very private. Bathrooms and Showers are clean. Over 20 miles in hiking trails, this is one of the nicest parks, I've visited," says Michi P. about Moreau Lake State Park Campground.
Proximity to attractions: Most campgrounds sit within 20 minutes of major destinations. "We stayed in site 137 and had woods and some flat grassy areas behind us. A family could easily set up badminton or play catch back there. It's a short drive to Lake George Village, Great Escape and the Erie Canal system and southern end of Lake Champlain," shares April L. who visited Moose Hillock.
Dog-friendly environments: Most dog friendly campgrounds near Corinth offer dedicated pet areas. "The campground is so clean and nice! Perfect for the dogs with best dog park I ever saw," notes Michael C. about Lake George RV Park.
What you should know
Seasonal pricing variations: Rates increase significantly during holiday weekends and peak summer months. "It was $66/night during the first part of our stay but them jumped up to in-season rates that were $99/night plus $20/night because it was a holiday weekend," reports Nancy W. about Moose Hillock Camping Resorts.
Early bookings required: Waterfront sites fill months in advance at most campgrounds. "The sites near the water fill up pretty quickly, so book well in advance if that's your choice," advises Janice H. about Hearthstone Point Campground.
Varying site terrain: Sites range from level to moderately sloped with different ground cover. "Campsite was a little creepy but the scenery and attractions around the area were amazing. Lake george is right down the road and it is also across from an adventure/tubing area," shares Katarina M. about Luzerne Campground.
Public transportation options: Trolley service connects most campgrounds to nearby towns. "There is a trolley to get around the camp ground as well as to the local outlets. Fun family activities and quite a few pools to relax in," mentions Michelle D. from Lake George Escape Campground.
Tips for camping with families
Playground access: Choose sites near play areas for convenience with small children. "The camp ground is set up nicely and some sites are very private which is nice as well," says Crystal W. who camped at King Phillip's Campground during the Adirondack Nationals Car show.
Pool temperature considerations: Some campgrounds offer heated pools ideal for cooler weather stays. "The pool is heated by solar panels so it is refreshing without being cold. It is safe to let kids ride their bikes around the campground, go to the arcade, pool, or playground because nothing is too far away," explains Mallory K. about Whippoorwill Campsites.
Evening entertainment options: Many campgrounds offer organized activities for children. "There are planned activities each day like limbo, scavenger hunts, movie night at the pool(in summer months) and a great pool to swim in with two water slides," explains Sheri S. about Moose Hillock.
Local supplies: Small stores near campgrounds carry essentials and treats. "Also, the little mom and pop store across the street is perfect for last minute needs and have the best homemade chocolate cream pie," recommends Antoinette W. who visits Luzerne Campground annually.
Tips from RVers
Site leveling requirements: Some campgrounds require leveling blocks for certain sites. "The site pad was packed gravel and slightly unlevel. We have a 27 foot camper and was slightly difficult to maneuver into the site. If your camper sits low, chances are it will hit the road on some of the inclines," cautions Cat R. about King Phillip's Campground.
Sewer hookup variations: Connection points vary between campgrounds and can present challenges. "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," reports Nancy W. about King Phillip's Campground.
Wi-Fi limitations: Most campgrounds offer limited or no internet service. "If you want internet, bring your own because there in none at campsites. I was able to use my Verizon hotspot which worked fine," shares Nancy W. from Moose Hillock.
Dump station access: Schedule departure timing around busy dump station periods. "If you opt for a site without sewer, they have a dump station that you can use on the way out which is what we did," advises Craig C. who stayed at Whippoorwill Campsites.
