Frontier Town Campground in North Hudson features a dedicated equestrian camping area with specialized facilities for horse owners. The equestrian loop includes individual sites with shared utilities and fencing designed for safe containment of horses. The campground provides standard amenities including electric hookups, water, fire rings, and picnic tables at each site. Equestrian campsites are designed with extra space for horse trailers, with some sites extending over 75 feet in length. The bathrooms and shower facilities remain consistently clean and well-maintained throughout the camping season. Sites are built with ample spacing between neighbors, providing a sense of privacy even during busier weekend periods. The campground maintains a rustic atmosphere with old-growth forest surrounding many sites.
Direct access to Adirondack trail systems makes Frontier Town an ideal base for riders exploring the region. The campground serves as a convenient starting point for day trips to nearby attractions including Lake George, Ticonderoga, and numerous hiking and cycling trails. The equestrian camping area features specific design elements to accommodate horses, though some campers note the site layout can make positioning trailers challenging. The best experience for horse owners comes during weekdays when the campground sees significantly fewer visitors. The heavily wooded environment provides natural shade for horses during summer months, while morning sun reaches western sites most effectively. Seasonal considerations include higher bug activity during June, particularly mosquitoes, which can affect both riders and horses during early summer visits.

So clean!
We stayed in site 33 which is in the equestrian camping area. It’s really open with little tree cover which is perfect for those who work remote using Starlink. We had fantastic connection. The sites in the equestrian camping area are huge and so clean. The bathrooms are the cleanest I’ve seen so far and we do this full time. The only disappointment was that the hot water doesn’t get very hot in the shower so you better do some jumping jacks to get pumped before showering during colder temps! The trails are well marked and well maintained. Overall, this is a fantastic campsite. There’s even a brewery a ten minute walk down the road. We didn’t go but looks nice. Get your supplies before you arrive! Not many places around to quickly grab charcoal if you need it.

Clean and New
Sites are built wrong so it is hard to get you camper into your site correct. It is definitely catered to the equestrian part of the camping. I won’t be going back there anytime soon.

Frontier Town Campground
New, very nice, with killer bugs
I was in site 43, it was long enough it could have fit two of the biggest RVs I have ever seen. My 75 foot starling cable did not even reach all the way back out to the road. I drove through the equestrian loop and found it very confusing. Lots of fences and shared pedestals. I stayed in the next loop, stagecoach. Everything looked spic and span like it had just opened last month. The young man at the check in station said there were very few people there except on the weekends. I only saw three or four other rVs and two of them had to camp right next to me. I saw the bugs, some of them clearly mosquitoes and I never saw one get away with biting me. But I ended up with two lower legs and two forearms that constantly itch like mad. I will never go back in June.

Cute and Quaint
Upon arrival, the front desk clerk was very nice and helpful. We found our way to the tent sites, nestled in the very back corner which for us was exactly what we like. Sites were a medium distance apart but still spacious enough to not be close to neighbors. Showers and restrooms were nearby and it being a weekday, there really wasn’t much traffic of campers or hikers. It was cozy and tucked into the woods with town only being a few miles away!

Good central location to visit the ADK
Although the campground was right off the road, it's still in a forest with big pine trees and mossy boulders. It was easy to access from 87. Given the proximity to the road, there is road noise, so that doesn't allow for that super outdoorsy experience you might desire. At night though it would get very dark and quiet - there weren't a lot of campers there during our stay. The camphost lives in a home onsite and was mostly helpful. Be sure to mention the 5 nights for 4 deal on their website upfront, otherwise she won't reimburse. Upon working with her to extend our stay, she said people were scheduled to come into our spot. We moved and no one arrived, so that was a bit annoying.
To get to the sites, we had to take it a bit slow because there are some low hanging trees and a turn, but made it fine. Our first site, 22, was a back-in, 30 amp, full hook-up. It was a long site with plenty of room for our RV and SUV. We had to back it up to the very end to find the flattest option to level. With the way they have their sites set up, you need a 50 ft hose for water. This site was close to the showerhouse but next to a longterm trailer with crap everywhere and we weren't super thrilled that was our view from our windows in our living area. Our second site, 50, was also a back-in, 30 amp, full hookup. It was very pretty but hard to level. The site slopes up, so the backend was high. We tried about every way to sit our rig in there to level, but we ended up driving our front tires up on some leveling blocks and went up with the jacks as much as we safely could. We didn't get a perfect level, but we decided it was ok since we only had 2 days left. We had to wiggle our SUV in kind of sideways, but it worked.
There were some "residents" there in tents, which was interesting and a couple longterm trailers (with the typical cluttered lots you see at campgrounds that offer longterm stays). The campground is clean and the shower houses were faithfully cleaned everyday around 11a. Showerhouses were dated, but had super hot water for showers.
A few miles further down the road is the town of Lake Luzerne. We visited their small grocery which had the basics and we ate at one of the restaurants which had a view of the water (Upriver Cafe). The campground was in a perfect location to visit Lake George and surrounding area (Six Flags, outlet shops, putt-putt, restaurants etc). If you're wanting to explore even more you're only 1.5 hrs to Lake Placid and the Green Mountain National Forest.
Work was difficult with my husband dependent on AT&T. The Weboost got Verizon working fine, but AT&T was spotty. We had some issues with our RV that we were trying to get fixed locally which extended our stay, otherwise we would have left earlier due to this. The camphost told us that they had invested in some sort of mini Verizon tower for their personal use, so that was what was helping the Verizon signal. The campground offers wifi at the office/pool/rec room area, but when the "residents" come down, it brings it to a snails pace. My husband would go down there in the morning to work and had to go to Starbucks in Lake George at times when all the kids at camp decided to be on their devices at the same time.
Pool is not heated, so not many people were using it. They charge $2 per garbage bag to be put in their dumpster. They sell a few necessities in their office and firewood. They have laundry with 1 working residential washer $1 and 1 residential dryer $.75 and 1 industrial sized dryer $1. We did a couple loads with no issue. They are outside in a patio area.
Bring the bug spray. The mosquitos were as big as birds and tenacious!

Beautiful/Fun Campground
I wish I had my bike!!! I didn’t know that this was a biking campground and there were SO MANY trails. Made the most of them with running, but overall, a fantastic campground. Showers were clean, staff was very friendly. Sites and attractions within walking distance (but busy roads to cross).

Luzerne Campground
Best family campground
we have been going to this campground for almost 15 years and my husband went here a a kid with his family. We always get the same site, for 15 years. My daughter loves it here. 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. Also, the little mom and pop store across the street is perfect for last minute needs and have the best homemade chocolate cream pie. Very close to great escape. Hiking available too.
Guide to Crown Point

Several horse campgrounds near Crown Point, New York provide direct trail access, dedicated paddock areas, and suitable camping arrangements for both riders and their mounts. The area combines trail riding opportunities with strategic proximity to Lake Champlain and surrounding attractions, creating a hub for equestrian recreation within the eastern Adirondack Mountains.
What to do

There are campsites that also come with stalls for your horse!" as noted by camper Brittnay B. The campground serves as a gateway to the southeastern Adirondack trail systems.
Swimming options for horses and humans: Branbury State Park across Lake Champlain provides cooling options during summer rides. A camper reports "Across the street from the campground was access to the lake with plenty of grassy areas to hang out. And beautiful sunsets at night! A five minute hike- though it is quite a rocky, boulder-y hike- from the sites leads to a small river and swimming hole."
Mountain biking on shared trails: AuSable Chasm Campground offers multi-use trails suitable for both riding and mountain biking. One visitor mentioned, "I wish I had my bike!!!

What you should know
Seasonal bug conditions: June brings heightened insect activity that affects both horses and riders.

Tips from RVers
Site positioning challenges: At Frontier Town's equestrian area, some RV parking can be problematic. A visitor mentioned, "Sites are built wrong so it is hard to get your camper into your site correct. It is definitely catered to the equestrian part of the camping."
Cable length considerations: Large equestrian sites may require extra-long utility connections. One RVer shared, "I was in site 43, it was long enough it could have fit two of the biggest RVs I have ever seen. My 75 foot starling cable did not even reach all the way back out to the road."
Road conditions: Access roads to horse-friendly campgrounds may present challenges. At AuSable Chasm, "The road through the campground is dirt and rutted but the speed limit is 5 mph, so it wasn't that bad, but it would be a mess if it was raining."
