Best RV Parks & Resorts near Galway, NY

496 Reviews

Several RV parks near Galway, New York provide seasonal accommodations with varying hookup options. Alpine Lake RV Resort in Corinth operates from May through October with full hookup sites including 50-amp electric service, water, and sewer connections. Arrowhead Marina & RV Park in Glenville accommodates big rigs on level sites from mid-May to mid-October. Lake George RV Park features pull-through sites with 30/50-amp service, cable TV hookups, and paved interior roads that can handle larger motorhomes. Sites at many parks have gravel pads with picnic tables and fire rings, though spacing between sites varies considerably.

Most RV parks provide sanitary dump stations, though a few charge additional fees for this service. Cell service varies throughout the region, with Verizon typically offering better coverage than AT&T in more remote locations. Many parks welcome pets, though some impose breed restrictions or limit the number of animals per site. Propane filling stations are available at select campgrounds including Alpine Lake RV Resort.

    Cooperstown KOA

    Nice Park

    This park is located approximately 12.5 miles from downtown Cooperstown and is set in the quiet rural countryside of New York. The mature trees make for beautiful scenery in the fall. There is a mix of sites varying from tent, RV, rental trailers, and camping cabins/cottages/lodges bringing the total number of sites to 120. Back-in and pull-thru sites are available. Site types include full hookup, water and electric, and no hookup with prices varying depending upon site. You can choose between 30/20 or 50 amp electric service. Interior roads are gravel and some site pads are gravel while others are grass. 

    The park is nicely terraced and all the sites are level. Patios were a grassy/dirt area with a picnic table and fire pit. Our site (#41) 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. The free wifi worked well as did our Verizon 4G phone and hotspot. We picked up a dozen or so television channels with our antenna. The park does have a fair amount of trees that would interfere with roof-mounted satellite dishes so you would have to pick your site carefully. But, there are some 30 amp and no hook-up sites that are clear. This is a typical KOA with lots of amenities including a swimming pool(which was closed for the season when we were there), a playground, volleyball court, basketball court, jump house, pavilion, recreation room, bicycle rental, and horseshoes. Showers, restrooms and laundry are also present and clean. There is a propane filling station. While there is no fenced-in dog park there is a pet walking area. The surrounding area is pretty rural and the closest town (Richfield Springs– which is very small) is five miles away and where you will find restaurants, gas station, grocery store, and more. A few miles from the park is a creamery that has a café. 

    Approximately five miles away is Glimmerglass State Park which was great for hiking and kayaking Otsego Lake. There is a also a historic house at the park that you can tour and the country’s oldest covered bridge. Cooperstown is a little over twelve miles away from the park but well worth a trip. Not only is Cooperstown home to the National Baseball Hall of Fame but it is a charming downtown well worth exploring. Other nearby attractions include The Farmers Museum, Fenimore Art Museum, Hero’s of Baseball Wax Museum, Glimmerglass Opera, and Cooperstown Brewing Company.

    Lake George Riverview Campground

    Great River Access

    This campground sits on the Schroon River just a few miles north of downtown Lake George and is very easy to access from I-87. They can accommodate any size camper from the 45’ motorhome with 50 amp service to a tent just wanting electric and water. All sites have cable TV hookup and free WiFi at their site along with a picnic table and fire rings. The park is not huge and it was pretty full so it felt a little cramped for us. There were quite a few seasonal people. Some sites back up to the river so you have a nice view. When the park if full, it can be a little cramped for big-rigs to back into some sites, especially the river ones. There are trees to navigate and some of the spots are tight. 

    Apparently, it is under new management and there are lots of changes that the new owners are proud of. But that also means there is a lot of on-going construction happening in the campground which was pretty annoying. Lots of dust and loud equipment certainly interrupted the thought of a peaceful afternoon outside. Many of the sites in the older section have sand/dirt patios and sandy roads which makes it very dusty. The new area has crushed gravel and lots more room and some pull-thru sites. They have the typical campground amenities like horseshoe pit, pavilion, playground, pool, and camp store. We typically don’t use any of those and they were closed anyway due to Covid-19 safety precautions. Had we stayed longer, we would have taken advantage of the river access and paddled. There is a little beach area and launching paddleboards, canoes, or kayaks would be very easy.  (They also have watercraft available to rent.)  We were more focused on hiking and enjoying the woods.(Recommend the short hike to the“Bear Slide.”) 

    Some of the things we didn’t like was the sandy/dirt which 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.  We found the bugs to be very pesky in the evening and didn't want to sit outside. Things we liked it the surrounding location and access to hiking trails and the river. Once the construction is complete and grass takes hold in some areas it will be really nice. Downtown Lake George is only about 4-5 miles away.

    Lake George Riverview Campground

    Lots to do

    Stayed 1 night passing thru. Mike and vicki were friendly. Electric and water hookups. WiFi was great. Cable tv hookups, also. Dump station on site was convenient. Also, they had propane there, so I topped off. Beautiful campground. They’ve clearly been upgrading. Roads have fresh gravel. Sites are level and clean. Bathrooms are clean. Get a site on the river 👌🏻. Very close to Lake George activities and attractions.

    Mt. Kenyon Campground - CLOSED

    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!

    Lake George Escape Campground

    Friendly staff n guests, Clean, All around great activities.

    Campground is placed 10 minutes from the bottom of Lake George with great hiking trails in the surrounding area. The campground it’s self it’s very clean in every aspect. On a river with water activities, beach, pool, a BAR, and so many more outdoor activities. Every night there are wagon tours of the campground, staff is seen frequently but very relaxed environment. Very family and pet friendly (They have their own dog park!) This was my 5th summer going up with friends and about our 8th trip overall and every time it’s a great experience!

    Glimmerglass State Park Campground

    Small Campground Close to Attractions

    Upon arrival we were surprised by the limited amount of sites, especially after coming from larger state parks. It wasn't necessarily a bad things for it to be small, but it seemed isolated from the beach, hiking trails, and other unique experiences. Our site(#31) faced directly to site#6 from the other loop. If you are traveling with another group, I would recommend booking these two sites. There is a small, hop-able, stream that runs in between them. Verizon cell service worked well and I was able to work remotely with video calls from our RV. We do have a Pepwave BR1 Max Pro to boost cell signal. We would stay here again to visit Cooperstown and Ommegang.

Guide to Galway

RV camping near Galway, New York offers outdoor recreation opportunities within the southern Adirondack region. The area sits at elevations ranging from 650 to 1,200 feet, creating varied terrain for camping experiences. Seasonal temperature fluctuations make May through October the primary camping season, with many campgrounds closing by mid-October due to colder weather patterns.

What to do

Water recreation on Schroon River: Lake George Schroon Valley Resort provides direct river access. "From tubing down the Schroon River to visiting local eateries in Bolton Landing, there is simply nothing better than a stay here. While it's simple, you benefit from being able to spend a lot of time outdoors enjoying the natural beauty of the Adirondack's," reports Tom D.

Sports and recreation facilities: Lake George RV Park features multiple athletic courts. "Bike trails throughout with a connection to the local bike trails leading to Lake George and Glens Falls area," notes April L., who also mentions tennis courts and other recreational amenities.

Archery practice: Lake George Escape Campground offers archery activities for campers. As Kimberly S. states, "There are SO MANY activities in this area. Archery was awesome!"

What campers like

Spacious waterfront sites: Alpine Lake RV Resort provides premium lakeside camping spots. "Our site was back-in and had plenty of space. There's a lot of green space in this campground and it's right on the river," writes Tina about her experience at Arrowhead Marina & RV Park, which offers similar waterfront advantages.

Clean facilities: Ledgeview Village RV Park maintains high cleanliness standards. "Bathrooms very clean. Pool was nice. Campground nice for younger families," notes Lauren, while another camper adds, "The shower room is very tidy and I like it very much!"

Dog-friendly amenities: Arrowhead Marina & RV Park features dedicated pet areas. "We were next to a little fenced in area for dogs that our dog loved," mentions Tina in her review, highlighting the convenience for pet owners.

What you should know

Site levelness varies: Many RV sites require leveling equipment. "Most sites are a bit too close for our particular liking but we've seen worse. It seems they just jammed in as many campsites as possible," notes Nancy W. about Lake George Escape Campground.

Noise considerations: Highway proximity affects some campgrounds. Jeffrey B. reports about Lake George Schroon Valley Resort: "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. Loosely enforced quiet hours."

Seasonal occupancy patterns: Many sites host long-term campers. "Most of the campers in the campground seem to be weekend warriors who leave their campers on premises to enjoy them on the weekends," Kasey M. observed at Lake George Schroon Valley Resort.

Tips for camping with families

Playground access: Parks often feature multiple play areas for different age groups. Lauren from Ledgeview Village RV Park shares, "Has a playground and pool. Kids enjoyed the area," making it suitable for families with young children.

Swimming options: Alpine Lake RV Resort offers both lake swimming and pools. One camper reports, "There were plenty of activities to keep me entertained — from relaxing by the lake and enjoying the hiking trails to spending time at the recreation areas."

Water activities for kids: Kayaking and paddleboarding opportunities abound. "Bring your boats and SUP boards for lots of fun! Hikers and water enthusiasts will live this place! Lots to explore," recommends Deb V. about Alpine Lake RV Resort.

Tips from RVers

Site selection strategy: Choose locations based on specific RV needs. "Our site was fine and large enough to accommodate our RV and tow car but some campsites were pretty small and would not fit large RVs," warns Nancy W. about Lake George Escape Campground.

Seasonal hookup considerations: Full hookups may be limited at certain times. "Most sites by the river don't have sewer, but there is a pump out service available," notes Tom D. regarding Lake George Schroon Valley Resort.

Navigation challenges: Interior roads can be difficult to navigate. "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., highlighting the importance of careful driving within campgrounds.
