Campgrounds near Glens Falls span the Lake George region to the north, with options ranging from full-service RV hookups and cabin rentals to tent-only sites. Lake George RV Park and Ledgeview Village RV Park provide extensive amenities for recreational vehicles, while Moreau Lake State Park Campground caters to both tent and RV campers. Several private campgrounds like Moose Hillock Camping Resorts and Whippoorwill Campsites offer glamping options alongside traditional camping areas, creating multiple price points for visitors to the southern Adirondack region.
The camping season typically runs from May through mid-October, with most facilities closing after Columbus Day weekend due to colder temperatures. "The grounds are well kept, the facilities are modern and clean, hookups were perfect, site was level, staff is super friendly and helpful," noted one camper about Lake George RV Park. Advance reservations are strongly recommended during peak summer months when lakefront camping areas reach capacity, particularly on holiday weekends. The region experiences moderate summer temperatures with occasional thunderstorms, while spring and fall bring cooler nights that require additional layers. Highway noise affects some campgrounds, particularly those near Interstate 87 (the Northway), which travels north-south through the area.
Public and private camping areas offer distinct experiences throughout the region. Along Lake George, several developed campgrounds provide shoreline views with amenities like swimming areas and boat rentals. A visitor mentioned, "Very nice sites, way to close to Northway. I'm longing for home, for peace and quiet. Which is why I like camping." Campgrounds farther from main roads tend to be quieter but may have fewer amenities. Family-friendly features distinguish many properties, with multiple campgrounds offering pools, playgrounds, and recreation centers. Pet owners appreciate dedicated facilities, with Lake George RV Park featuring what reviewers call "the best dog park ever" with shaded seating and washing stations. Sites range from wooded and private to more open areas with easy access to central facilities, allowing campers to choose based on their preference for privacy or convenience.

What an amazing find! This was a perfect location for the first 2 days of our vacation. Steve and Michelle were incredibly accommodating and wonderful hosts! We truly enjoyed our stay and will definitely return!

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.

This is a good spot if you don’t mind being social. The main camping area is a large grassy opening where multiple people park and camp together, and there is a bathroom, but there isn’t much privacy between sites. If you continue farther down the forest road, there are several smaller pull-offs with much more private dispersed camping spots. I’d recommend checking those out if you’re looking for a quieter experience.

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.

LegendMoose Hillock Camping Resorts
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 Glens Falls
Camping near Glens Falls, New York offers access to the southern gateway of the Adirondack Park.

What to do
Hiking nearby trails: Moreau Lake State Park Campground offers over 20 miles of hiking trails for every skill level. According to Michi P., "One of the nicest parks, I've visited. Over 20 miles in hiking trails, this is one of the nicest parks." Trails range from easy lakeside paths to more challenging routes with elevation gains.
Water activities on rivers: Lake George Riverview Campground provides direct access to the Schroon River with a small beach area for launching paddlecraft. "The river is the attraction at this Campground that provides hours of entertainment. My kids really enjoyed fishing & floating in the river," reports a camper. The campground offers equipment rentals including kayaks and canoes.
Bike path access: King Phillip's Campground connects to a paved bike path running between Lake George and Glens Falls. "We road the bike path each day to and from Lake George. It was downhill on the way there and a little bit of an uphill battle on the way back but totally worth it! Bring your bikes!!" advises Stephanie H.
Tubing excursions: Luzerne Campground offers proximity to local tubing operations on the Hudson River. Troy H. notes, "Plenty to do: tubing and white water rafting (spring), great hikes, horseback riding, canoe/kayaking, zip lines, great local food and breweries in the area."
What campers like
Spacious, private sites: Moose Hillock Camping Resorts is known for exceptionally large sites with natural barriers. Nancy W. describes, "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."
Swimming options: The tropical-themed swimming pool at Moose Hillock stands out to visitors. "One of the best pools in a campground that I have ever seen," says Scott N. The pool features caves, waterfalls, waterslides, LED lights, and a swim-in theater for nighttime movies.
Clean facilities: Ledgeview Village RV Park receives consistent praise for cleanliness. Lauren notes, "We enjoyed our stay. Quiet campground. Bathrooms very clean. Pool was nice." Another camper mentioned, "beyond clean facilities, very friendly and helpful staff."
Lakefront access: Hearthstone Point Campground offers direct access to Lake George. Alexandra M. states, "If you go down to the lower section they have a private beach for the campground. It's located right on Lake George."
What you should know
Noise considerations: Some campgrounds experience road noise from nearby highways. At Hearthstone Point, Ryan K. reports, "Friday and Saturday night there was a ton of street noise from Rt9." Similarly, at Lake George Riverview, campers note proximity to I-87.
Reservation timing: Many campgrounds fill quickly during summer months. For Moose Hillock, one camper advised, "had to wait till 2wks prior to book since we are under the 4 night minimum in season." Most campgrounds in the region recommend booking 6-9 months in advance for summer weekends.
Site variations: Whippoorwill Campsites has notable differences between sites. Craig F. explains, "Most did have water and electric. The sites are VERY Level, good sized, close, but spacious enough to have an enjoyable stay without being on top of each other." Request specific sites when booking.
Seasonal differences: Moreau Lake State Park sees dramatic changes in visitor numbers. Robert L. cautions, "During the summer season I wouldn't go here expecting to have the park to yourself due to its proximity to I-87 and being conveniently located 20 minutes from both Lake George and Saratoga Springs."
Tips for camping with families
Look for playground access: Lake George Escape Campground offers multiple kid-friendly activities. "There are SO MANY activities in this area. Archery was awesome!" shares Kimberly S. The campground includes playgrounds, pools, and organized activities throughout summer.
Consider pond fishing spots: Luzerne Campground provides calm water fishing opportunities. "We get our site close to the lake so we can walk down and swim and my husband fishes," notes Antoinette W. The small lake doesn't allow motorboats, creating safer conditions for children.
Find campsites near activity centers: Whippoorwill Campsites layout makes supervision easier. Mallory K. explains, "It is safe to let kids ride their bikes around the campground, go to the arcade, pool, or playground because nothing is too far away. It is a cozy campground."
Check activity schedules: Many campgrounds offer scheduled events for children. One camper mentioned, "They had a scavenger hunt, movie night at the pool and planned activities each day like limbo." Activity calendars are typically posted weekly during peak season.
Tips from RVers
Site selection for large RVs: Lake George RV Park accommodates larger vehicles comfortably. Debbie W. shares, "We were on site 58 which backed up to the splash park. It was one of the largest sites we've ever stayed in." Sites include full hookups with conveniently positioned utilities.
Road considerations: Some campgrounds have challenging access roads. At Moreau Lake State Park, Nancy W. advises, "The road to our campsite was paved and in good shape but there were a few tight spots because of the trees that make it tricky for a big rig (Loop A seems to be the best for big-rigs)."
Hookup availability: King Phillip's Campground offers full hookups including cable TV. "Sites have full hookups including cable tv. Getting the right site here is key. Some have room, privacy, and trees. Others are close together, and out in the open," reports IAN P.
Dump station access: Not all campgrounds offer sewer hookups at each site. Craig C. notes about Whippoorwill, "If you opt for a site without sewer, they have a dump station that you can use on the way out which is what we did."
