Camping in the Granville, New York region spans multiple states with access to both Vermont and New York outdoor recreation areas. Several established campgrounds dot the landscape, including Lake George RV Park, Moose Hillock Camping Resort, and Emerald Lake State Park. Accommodations range from basic tent sites to full-service RV hookups, cabins, and glamping options. Most campgrounds in this area operate seasonally, typically from May through mid-October, with peak season running from Memorial Day to Labor Day weekend.

The camping season in the Lake George and southern Vermont area generally runs from late spring through early fall. Emerald Lake State Park Campground operates from Memorial Day weekend to Columbus Day weekend, while Lake St. Catherine State Park is open from Memorial Day weekend to Labor Day. Several private campgrounds offer longer seasons, with many opening in early May and closing in mid-October. Winter conditions make camping difficult, with most facilities closing completely. A recent visitor noted, "Nice campground with decent amenities. Pay showers so save your quarters. Nice lake for canoeing with trails from the camping area. Family friendly with semi private sites."

Most developed campgrounds in the region feature a mix of amenities including showers, restrooms, and picnic tables. Many RV sites offer full hookups with electric, water, and sewer connections. Tent campers will find dedicated sites at most locations, often with more privacy than the RV sections. Slateville Secluded Campsites receives praise for its privacy, with one camper describing it as having "very private sites" with "gorgeous sunset views." Water recreation is a major draw in the area, with Lake St. Catherine State Park, Emerald Lake, and Lake George all providing swimming beaches and boating opportunities. Many campgrounds maintain hiking trails that connect directly to camping areas, offering easy access to outdoor activities without requiring additional travel.

    "Site 16 had a path to the river and was slightly tucked away. Sites 13 and 14 were cool spots too, I’d imagine in the summer you may have less privacy because it’s near the swimming area."

    "Friends and I camp here every June, and we love being close to the river. We sleep in tents so the sound of the river put  you to sleep at night."

    Gus's Gardens Camping

    It was quite and peaceful

    We enjoyed our stay with Gus very much. With the email to confirm our stay, there were excellent directions to get there. It is behind his home by a lake with creek nearby. There is also a hiking trail. We had no problems. If we are in the area again, we would camp here again.  Thanks

    Crown Point Campground

    Nice with a view

    Pretty nice campground all things considered, bathrooms are definitely rustic but kept clean. Some of the campsites are very close together, and others have a decent amount of space between them, not necessarily a lot of trees in between campsites for privacy. Beautiful views of the water, and surrounding mountains. Staff was extremely friendly!

    Jamaica State Park Campground

    Great Camping Experience at Jamaica State Park

    This was our second stay at this Vermont State Park. It was a great three days. The park rangers were tremendous in ensuring we had a great visit. They worked with us to get the right site. The bathroom facilities, while rustic, were clean. There is a plethora of things to do in the park itself and in the local community. Nonetheless, it starts and ends with the management of the campground. Lauren, the campground manager, and her team of professionals, do a great job. We will definitely return.

    Quechee State Park Campground

    Beautiful, road noise, not a lot there

    Big, flat, beautiful sites. Road noise isn't super loud, but it's constant. Might be the nicest bathrooms I've seen in decades of camping.

    The weird thing is that there just isn't much here. The Quechee Gorge, best accessed from the back of the lawn behind the bathhouse, is the deepest in Vermont.. which is kind of like saying the best bagel or most populous city in Vermont. Prepared to be whelmed.

    It's a ~30 minute hike, you can access some slow semi-rapids at the bottom.

    Camping at the SP does give access to another trail that's moderately challenging and has both some level spots and a nice overlook.

    Don't regret the trip at all but it seems more like an awesome stopover than a worthwhile destination. Some decent restaurants in the area and even more in nearby Lebanon/White River Junction.

    Frontier Town Campground

    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.

    Kampersville

    Nice

    The campsites are all in the trees with some sites not clearly defined. The sites seem good sized with new bathroom and showers, with individual showers with a toilet. There are a lot of monthly staying here. Overall a nice park

    Branch Pond on National Forest Hwy

    Amazing camping spots with fire pits!

    Tons of different styles of camping spots (if you get there while its still sunlight you can pick a spot by a flowing stream/river). No public bathrooms, no hookups, I personally didn’t have service.

    Great camping site. The road into the site was pretty rough.
