Camping facilities near Corinth, New York sit in the southern Adirondack foothills at approximately 630 feet above sea level, where the Sacandaga and Hudson Rivers meet. The camping season typically runs from early May through mid-October, with average summer temperatures ranging between 55°F at night and 80°F during daytime hours. Weather patterns can shift quickly, requiring campers to pack both warm and cool weather gear even during summer stays.
What to do
River tubing and kayaking: At Lake George Escape Campground, water activities dominate summer recreation. "There are SO MANY activities in this area. Archery was awesome!" notes Kimberly S. The campground provides kayak and boat rentals, plus organized tubing trips down the river.
Visit Fort Ticonderoga: Located 32 miles north of Corinth, historical excursions await. "Ft Ticonderoga is a few miles to the north where you can explore history with re-enactors," writes Jean C. from Brookwood RV Resort. The fort features daily demonstrations, museum exhibits, and garden tours from May through October.
Swimming in local quarries: Natural swimming spots offer alternatives to campground pools. "Great location near a fantastic quarry, country store, and Manchester shopping," shares Rachelle S. about Dorset RV Park. The nearby Dorset Quarry provides free swimming in crystal-clear spring water.
What campers like
Heated pools and recreational facilities: Ledgeview Village RV Park earns praise for its well-maintained amenities. "Super quiet and clean! The pool was very cold but spotless, which was surprising since there's pine trees all around," reports Cecilia K. The park also includes "a playground and pool. Kids enjoyed the area," according to Lauren.
Peaceful river settings: Natural waterways enhance camping experiences. "The river is beautiful and serene," writes Kasey M. about Lake George Schroon Valley Resort. Similarly, at Davey Falls ADK, campers appreciate "Amazing secluded creekside spot. Private waterfall, hiking trails," according to Keith D., who calls it the "perfect location to explore eastern Adk."
Clean facilities: Brookwood RV Resort maintains high standards that campers notice. "This RV park on the outskirts of Ticonderoga offers full hookups and can also accommodate tents. Seasonal sites are largely separate from short-term campers and they are clean and well-kept," explains Jean C. Another camper notes the "Beautiful area, nice quite campground."
What you should know
Site layout challenges: Campground layouts vary significantly and may not match expectations. At Alpine Lake RV Resort, "Once in our site had a steep drop off to the lake, not all are like this, but be cautious about this if you have young kids," advises April L.
Wildlife and animals: Free-range animals appear at some campgrounds. "While the campground is pet friendly, a warning about free roaming chickens would have been nice. I would not have brought my (prey driven) dogs if I had known," shares Allie about Dorset RV Park.
Accessibility concerns: Bathroom facilities have varying levels of accessibility. "Not only were they yuk there were absolutely no handicap stalls in the closest bathroom and I'm (newly) in a walking boot and needed a hand rail," reports Stacie about Alpine Lake RV Resort.
Tips for camping with families
Activity planning: Lake George RV Park excels with family programming. "Great for families. Nicely wooded and not crazy packed," writes Kirsten J. Another camper shared "The campground is so clean and nice! Perfect for the dogs with best dog park I ever saw... Free shows every night at the playhouse kids loved. Animal shows kept daytime events going strong."
Choose quieter campgrounds for young children: Some rv campgrounds near Corinth, New York can get noisy. "Right on the beautiful Schroon River and only fifteen minutes to Bolton Landing shops and restaurants. The downside is the noise from the Northway within earshot and from the noisy seasonal campers who insist on blasting their music to the whole campground," warns Jeffrey B.
Check bathhouse proximity: Consider bathroom access when booking tent sites. "There are some really nice tent sites set away from the RV sites that sit under large trees and have nice space. The only drawback is they are farther away from the bathrooms," notes Nancy W. about Dorset RV Park.
Tips from RVers
Site selection strategies: At Brookwood RV Resort, location matters. "Short term sites, however, are near the road; a few of them (S1-S4) are behind the office, closer to the dumpsters and workshop and I'd probably avoid those," advises Jean C. The campground offers "Full hookup (sewer, water, 50 AMP)" with "Level, shaded site" according to Beth R.
Road navigation challenges: Tight turns require planning at Corinth area RV parks. "Roads in the park are confusing because none are parallel or perpendicular so we had to go slow just to make sure we didn't miss a turn in the RV," explains Nancy W. about Lake George Escape Campground.
Water conservation awareness: Seasonal considerations affect utilities. "With COVID-19 restrictions this year, the bathrooms are closed to those who have facilities in their RV. There's also a drought and they're on a well, so water conservation is essential," notes Jean C. about Brookwood RV Resort.
