Campgrounds near Diamond Point, New York cluster around the scenic Lake George area, providing varied accommodation options within the southern Adirondack region. Hearthstone Point Campground sits directly on Lake George, offering tent and RV sites with lake access, while Lake George Escape Campground provides additional amenities including cabin rentals and glamping opportunities. The Lake George area features numerous established campgrounds that accommodate everything from primitive tent camping to full-hookup RV sites, with several properties offering cabin rentals for those seeking more comfort.
Many campgrounds in the Lake George area operate seasonally, typically opening in May and closing in October. "Stayed there this past week and it was great - the beach is nice, beautiful views and even caught a few bass, large and smallmouth," noted one visitor about Hearthstone Point. Road access to most campgrounds is straightforward with paved routes, though some waterfront sites require boat access, particularly on the Lake George Islands. Reservations are strongly recommended during peak summer months when facilities reach capacity, especially for waterfront sites and holiday weekends. Cell service is generally reliable throughout the area, with most campgrounds located within a short drive of Lake George Village for supplies and amenities.
The waterfront campgrounds consistently receive higher ratings from visitors, with Lake George RV Park and Moose Hillock Camping Resorts earning particularly strong reviews. Several campers highlight the combination of natural surroundings with convenient access to activities. "Just far enough from town that you feel like you're secluded, however a short drive into town if you forgot something or get bored and need some human interaction," noted one camper about Hearthstone Point. Some campgrounds experience increased noise levels during peak season, particularly those closer to main roads or popular with younger visitors. Families tend to prefer the established campgrounds with amenities like swimming pools and organized activities, while those seeking more solitude might consider the island camping options accessible by boat, which offer more privacy despite occasional wildlife encounters, particularly raccoons.

GuideKelley Stand Rd - NF Dispersed Camping
Interesting, decent site
Free dispersed camping site in the Green Mountain National Forest, off a dirt road. The site curves around past the driveway so you can tuck up into the trees to be more private. The upper part there has a circular open area, surrounded by thin trees. There’s a fire ring set up midway on the site. It felt more isolated than other sites I’ve stayed at and there were quite a few animal sounds in the woods, including large animal bones left past the treeline. They seem to be left behind from people (based off of how the bones were cut). Dispersed camping so don’t expect facilities of any sort. Decent site and pretty large compared to some of the other spots. Heard Barred Owls in the distance which was awesome. Uploaded a video of the site at night and pics of the area on a map that my friend was able to pull up.

Dispersed site along Forest RD 71
Cute dispersed spot
Went with a friend on an impromptu last minute camping trip up in the NF and hoped we could find a spot on a Friday night. Quite a few spots were taken but there were still some free ones. We stayed at one near the creek just over a little bridge. Cute little site, nice fire pit, clean, perfect rock to put a big water jug on. The sound of running water was soothing. In the morning, adorable little red squirrels with big personalities made themselves known and there were wildflowers blooming all over with hummingbirds going about their business. This is dispersed camping so there’s no rest rooms, running water, etc. The particular site we stayed at did have another site on the other side of the creek and we could hear the family during the day and see them as they walked past, so it wasn’t as isolated as some of the other sites. It was a cute spot and I’ll def be back.

Moffitt Beach Campground
Many waterfront sites,bathrooms clean.
Got a super site almost level with the water. Went for a swim. Oddly, the lake has no plant life, but a sand bottom. Lots of ducks. Many people enjoying the shallow warm water on kayaks and such. Most sites level. The bathrooms did not offer hot water, or any way to dry your hands .They were clean, and enough to go around. The showers on the other hand were quite distant. A 5 minute walk . But clean, and plentiful. I guess better that than dirty and close by? No hiking trails is a letdown, but here its all about the lake.

Dyrt done messed up
Dyrt done messed up! So far, very disappointed in this app. Difficult to use! We reserved this spot through Dyrt. The directions to the campground are way off. The host was not notified that we were coming. Don’t trust Dyrt; contact the campground asap after you reserve through Dyrt to confirm the reservation directly and confirm the address and directions.

Forest Service Road 71, West Dover, VT
Great little dispersed camping area off Forest Road 71 in West Dover, Vermont. Once you get onto the forest service road, everything is gravel/dirt, with several small pull-offs and primitive campsites scattered along the road. Some sites are only a few feet from the road, while others are tucked back around 100 feet and offer a little more privacy.
The individual pull-offs can be a little more challenging to reach. Most involve some combination of hills, rocks, ruts, and mud, although nothing was too crazy. Some spots are definitely easier to get into than others, so having a vehicle with decent ground clearance is helpful.
There was a decent amount of traffic passing through the area while we were there, but nothing too crazy or disruptive. The campsite we stayed at had a fire pit, but there was no running water at our site, and I don’t believe the other dispersed sites have running water either.
Overall, a pretty good option if you’re looking for a primitive, low-key camping spot with multiple sites to choose from. Just don’t expect complete solitude, especially during busier times.

Crown Point Campground
NY State park campground. Worth staying at
Good size campground with three loops. 2 shower / restroom facilities. Many of the sites are simply grass. There are a few gravel ones. The staff has no problem with driving on the or parking on grass. All sites have a firepit. Wood can be obtained locally. There is no store at the camp. There is only one dump station. There is a boat launch with limited trailer parking although when we stayed (Aug 2026) the water was only 18 in to 2 ft deep at docks. Heavily choked with vegetation. Shower facilities were clean enough but could use more attention, heavy cobwebs at lights, corners and edges of shower pretty dark with mold. Plenty of fresh water spigots throughout the camp. Camp is on the banks of lake Champlain, although only a couple sites have a lake view. Ruins of two pre-revolutionary war forts are within walking distance and offer a great introduction to life in the early 18th century. Fort Ticonderoga is a 30 min drive and will take most of the day to tour. Well worth the trip. Only 3 min drive to Vermont. I would stay again.

Huge sites but sloped, dirty, and pricey
We 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.
Guide to Diamond Point
Lake George campgrounds near Diamond Point offer exceptional camping accessibility with full-service RV sites, tent-only locations, and private cabin options within 15 miles of Diamond Point. The area sits at approximately 400-600 feet elevation in the southern Adirondack region, where summer temperatures typically range from 65-85°F between late May and early September. Most of the top camping destinations feature waterfront sites with direct access to swimming beaches.
What to do
Hiking and exploring: The region offers accessible trails for various skill levels. "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 and a great place for my dog to swim. Others like Pinnacle Trail and Buck Mountain have great views of the lake and surrounding area," notes a visitor at Moose Hillock Camping Resorts.
Water recreation: Beyond traditional swimming, many campgrounds provide water equipment rentals. At Luzerne Campground, "We always get our site close to the lake so we can walk down and swim and my husband fishes. Love that we can rent boats too," explains a long-time visitor.
Biking options: The region's extensive bike trail network connects several campgrounds to nearby towns. "There is a nice paved walking/biking path adjacent to the park that runs from Lake George to Glens Falls. The path is perfect for safely walking or biking to Lake George which is less than two miles away," notes a visitor to King Phillip's Campground.
What campers like
Privacy between sites: Some campgrounds feature unusually spacious, private sites. At Moose Hillock Camping Resorts, "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."
Facilities and cleanliness: Campers consistently praise well-maintained bathrooms and shower facilities. "The bathrooms and laundry were clean but laundry costs were high at $3.50 for a wash and $3.00 for a dry," notes one reviewer.
Easy lake access: Several campgrounds offer direct water access. "My family and I camped here during the annual Adirondack Nationals Car show. What a great place. Shower rooms are clean and inviting. The staff is amazing and know the area very well," reports a visitor to King Phillip's Campground.
What you should know
Reservation timing: For peak summer weekends, early booking is essential. A visitor to Lake George RV Park notes: "My only minor issue was with WIFI on one trip, but most of the time it's pretty good for a campground. We try to get there once or twice a year."
Weather patterns: The area experiences occasional heavy rain even in summer. "The sand/dirt was a mess when it rained. You are supposed to leave your trash at the front of your site but sometimes it was not picked up until late in the day," reports a camper at Lake George Riverview Campground.
Budget considerations: Premium sites with water access often command significantly higher rates. "This campground does come with a high price tag. It was $66/night during the first part of our stay but then jumped up to in-season rates that were $99/night plus $20/night because it was a holiday weekend," notes a visitor describing high-season rates.
