    Several RV parks near Esperance accommodate travel trailers and motorhomes with varying amenities. Alpine Lake RV Resort in Corinth provides full hookup sites with 50-amp electric service, water, and sewer connections from May through October. Arrowhead Marina & RV Park in Glenville features big-rig friendly spaces with similar hookups, operating seasonally from mid-May to mid-October. "Our site was a pull-thru but there was no way we could drive our 45' motorhome forward out of the site because of a large tree and narrow roads. So we ended up having to back out," noted one camper about navigating tight spaces. Thompson's Lake Campground at Thacher State Park offers both back-in and pull-through sites with electric hookups and can accommodate larger RVs with their big-rig friendly designation.

    Throughout the region, RV sites vary from gravel to grass pads, with most parks featuring picnic tables and fire rings at individual sites. Dump stations are available at Arrowhead Marina, Thompson's Lake, and Country Roads Campground, though not all parks offer this service. Cell service fluctuates between parks, with some travelers reporting good Verizon coverage but spotty AT&T reception in more remote locations. Many parks maintain pet-friendly policies with designated walking areas, though most limit pets to two per site. For winter camping options, choices become limited as most RV parks in the area close by mid-October. Propane filling services are uncommon, with only a few parks offering on-site propane sales, so travelers should plan accordingly before arrival.

      Schodack Island State Park Campground

      Camp is pretty close together but most spots have a thick tree line between them which is nice. You still get a bit of road noise off the bridge and surrounding areas but it’s not to bad and the views at the boat launch on the Hudson are gorgeous

      Allaben Campground

      Great free spot close to Belleayre Mountain

      I stayed here in March 2026 for a night before going snowboarding at Belleayre Mountain. It was in the middle of a snowstorm on a Tuesday night, so I had the whole place to myself, which was nice.

      Schodack Island State Park Campground

      Home on the Hudson

      The park looks fantastic! Well maintained camp sites and beautiful river sceneries from the boat launch area!

      Bathhouse is one of the best I have seen!

      Check in was smooth. Everyone was courteous!

      Schodack Island State Park Campground

      Mostly peaceful campground

      Mostly peaceful campground with nice spots, most of which offer some privacy. If you are bothered by trains, note that you will hear them in the background quite frequently from the railroad bridge that passes over the Hudson River. It's not loud by any means, but you can hear them.

      The state park staff and the camp hosts were all very friendly, and it has some of the cleanest bathrooms I've ever seen in a state park.

      Site 20 is a pull through site and it's huge, and while it is next to the shower building, it's far enough away that it really isn't a problem. Also, the field between you and the shower building is a fantastic spot to set up a Starlink dish.

      Awesome Quiet

      This is a very pleasant campground just a couple of miles off the interstate. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Full hookups at most sites. Many amenities available. A very quiet setting to rest and repose. Highly recommended!

      Schodack Island State Park Campground

      4 Night Stay

      The RV camp site was spread further apart from the other sites. It felt like you were in a secluded spot all by yourself. The camp staff were very helpful, campfire wood was a phone away and promptly delivered to your site. Nice variety of merchandise for sale. I love a souvenir from the places I visit. Although, it rained 2 of the days, it allowed some quiet time away.
