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.

Moreau Lake State Park Campground
South of the ADKs
This campground is close to the highway between Albany and the Adirondacks. There’s a nice big lake and the Hudson RIver. Many campsites are near the lake. The sites are shady and close together, but still feel fairly private. We enjoyed the hiking trails and beach while camping, then went further north for the full ADK experience.
C O.RangerMt. 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!

Beautiful State Park
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). Great thing about this park is the hiking trails and lake so you don’t even have to leave to the park to enjoy great outdoor recreation. We found it enjoyable just to hang out in the park rather than trying to find things to do in the area. After hiking and paddling, we loved relaxing out at our campsite with a campfire.
Our campsite was spacious but required some maneuvering to avoid scraping trees with our RV. Campsites are spacious, shady, and had good separation between the neighboring sites which we enjoyed. Generators are allowed but not too many people were using them. The few other campers around that used them were mindful of quiet hours. Since it was still a little cool and our windows were closed and we never heard anyone’s generator. The park was not very crowded when we were there, but we can imagine it could get very busy and noisy in the busy summer season. The beach area seems to be a draw for people so the summer camping season is probably packed. The snack bar and gift/supplies shop at the sandy beach area were not open as we were there late in the season. There is also a nice playground for kids to enjoy.
This is dry camping so there are no hook-ups but there are restrooms and shower. Both were clean but the shower fluctuated between lukewarm, hot, and warm during my shower. Oh well, the shower felt good after our active days. There are two pavilions you can rent which are nice if big groups want to gather. Take note that only two pets are allowed per campsite, so plan accordingly if you are a pet owner.
Access is fairly easy, just off I-87, and there are plenty of signs directing you which way to go. Saratoga Springs and Lake George are nearby if you want to explore. We recommend visiting the National Horse Racing Hall of Fame in Saratoga Springs, if you have time. We would definitely stay here again.

Awesome Facilities, LOTS of Downstate Tourists
Moreau Lake has (in my opinion) superb facilities as far as state run campsites go. The beach is nice, large picnic facilities, and the campgrounds are well maintained with nice bathroom/shower buildings.The park has a large number of hiking trails for every level of outdoorsman and the staff is friendly and helpful. The main issue is the fact that due to it's proximity to I-87 and being conveniently located 20 minutes from both Lake George and Saratoga Springs the park draws large crowds of downstate tourists, not itself a wholey bad thing but during the summer season I wouldnt go here expecting to have the park to yourself,.

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 Glens Falls
Luzerne Campground provides specialized equestrian facilities in the southern Adirondack region, approximately 10 miles north of Glens Falls. The facility features horse stalls integrated with camping accommodations, allowing riders to stay overnight with their horses during trail excursions. The campground operates seasonally from mid-May through early September, with full hookups for RVs and tent sites distributed throughout the wooded property.
What to do
Hiking and trail exploration: The southern Adirondacks offer extensive trail systems accessible from several horse campgrounds near Glens Falls, New York. At Frontier Town Campground, "The trails are well marked and well maintained," according to Chelsea B., making it suitable for both novice and experienced outdoor enthusiasts.
Lake activities: Multiple campgrounds provide lake access for swimming, fishing, and boating. "My husband and I spent the weekend and loved it! We loved being deep in the woods," notes Emily B. about her experience at Luzerne Campground, which offers a swim-at-your-own-risk beach area and boat rentals.
Nearby attractions: The region offers activities beyond the campgrounds themselves. "Lake George is right down the road and it is also across from an adventure/tubing area," reports Katarina M. Many campers use these campgrounds as central locations to explore the broader region, with options for white water rafting, zip lines, and local breweries all within driving distance.
What campers like
Privacy between sites: Campsites at Moreau Lake State Park provide good separation from neighbors. "I love the spacious campsites. It's very woodsy between sites, so it seems very private," writes Michi P., highlighting a feature particularly valued by those seeking a more secluded camping experience.
Clean facilities: Multiple reviewers mention the exceptional cleanliness of facilities. "The showers are so nice and private and clean," reports Antoinette W. about Luzerne Campground, while another camper noted that at Frontier Town, "The bathrooms are the cleanest I've seen so far and we do this full time."
Family traditions: Many campers return to the same sites year after year. "We have been going to this campground for almost 15 years and my husband went here as a kid with his family. We always get the same site, for 15 years," explains Antoinette W., indicating the loyalty these equestrian-friendly campgrounds inspire.
What you should know
Seasonal considerations: Most campgrounds in the region operate seasonally, typically from May through early September. Frontier Town received this note from a visitor: "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."
Supply availability: While some basics are available locally, it's advisable to arrive prepared. "Get your supplies before you arrive! Not many places around to quickly grab charcoal if you need it," warns Chelsea B. However, Murphy Lake Leanto offers a more remote experience where "you will find a fire pit and ample room for many tents if needed, plus a lake full of water, and a forest full of wood - if it hasn't rained."
Accessibility varies: Not all sites are equally accessible. Tony F. describes Murphy Lake Leanto as requiring effort: "A two hour bike ride with a couple of breaks. The Murphy Bennett Trails is a technical challenge to hike, or bike in on. And be prepared to go over downfalls."
Tips for camping with families
Kid-friendly amenities: Several campgrounds offer features specifically appealing to children. Robert L. notes that Moreau Lake has a "nice playground and beach, volleyball," making it suitable for families with children of various ages.
Swimming options: Most campgrounds provide swimming opportunities that appeal to families. "We get our site close to the lake so we can walk down and swim and my husband fishes," explains Antoinette W., highlighting how Moreau Lake State Park camping can accommodate different interests within a family group.
Bicycle-friendly terrain: Many campgrounds offer biking opportunities for children and adults alike. "Tons of bike riding options," notes Dan H., while Amy M. states, "lots of places to take a bicycle and go exploring!" This provides an additional activity option for families beyond hiking and water recreation.
Tips from RVers
Site sizing and layout: Some campgrounds have spacious sites that accommodate larger vehicles. At Frontier Town, Butch K. reports his site "was long enough it could have fit two of the biggest RVs I have ever seen. My 75 foot starlink cable did not even reach all the way back out to the road."
Hookup availability: While full hookups are available at several locations, not all sites provide the same level of service. Charles K. stayed at Frontier Town "first time at site 59 with a 28' travel trailer and second time at 56 with a tent," demonstrating the flexibility of sites to accommodate different camping styles.
Satellite connectivity: For those needing to stay connected, site selection matters. "The sites in the equestrian camping area are huge and so clean. It's really open with little tree cover which is perfect for those who work remote using Starlink. We had fantastic connection," notes Chelsea B., providing valuable information for digital nomads or those needing to maintain connectivity.
