Cabin lodging options near Granville provide access to both the Green Mountains of Vermont and Adirondack region of New York. Located at approximately 500 feet elevation, the area experiences four distinct seasons with summer temperatures averaging in the mid-80s. Winter weather typically arrives by mid-November with snow accumulation common through March, making cabin camping available nearly year-round at some locations.
What to do
Waterfront activities: At Lake Bomoseen State Park, visitors have multiple water access points. "We stayed at Bomoseen State Park on a busy weekend in the squirrel lean-to, which was right on the water. The beach was lovely - sandy and perfect for swimming. It was fun to watch the boats coming and going too," notes one camper who appreciated the lakefront setting.
Hiking opportunities: Multiple trail systems connect through the region, offering various difficulty levels. "Walk the Slate History Trail and the Bomoseen Loop Trail. Walk over to Glen Lake, which is a very quiet lake with a pretty trail alongside it," suggests a visitor to Lake Bomoseen State Park. For more challenging terrain, Moreau Lake State Park Campground offers "over 20 miles in hiking trails" according to a recent camper.
Historic exploration: The region contains significant historical sites within short drives from cabin locations. "Hubbardton Battlefield is cool," mentions one reviewer who stayed at Lake Bomoseen. Another visitor notes, "We recommend visiting the National Horse Racing Hall of Fame in Saratoga Springs, if you have time," after using Moreau Lake State Park as their base camp.
What campers like
Private, wooded settings: Moose Hillock Camping Resorts receives consistent praise for site layout. "Sites are huge. Plenty of room for our RV, and small tent. Private. Can't say enough about the pool," writes one reviewer. Another mentions, "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."
Swimming facilities: Many campgrounds feature pools beyond standard lake access. "Great pool (actually boasts the largest heated pool in the Northeast US) and activities. Super clean bathrooms and laundry," writes a visitor to Moose Hillock. At Lake George RV Park, campers appreciate the "Pools and hot tubs extremely clean and the grounds looked more like a hotel resort than campground."
Quality facilities: Cabin campers frequently mention clean, well-maintained amenities. "Showers were awesome!!! Campground is very dog friendly," notes one Lake Bomoseen KOA visitor. A Lake George RV Park camper states, "Living 10 minutes away, we were looking for an affordable vacation and we found it! We are already planning our next trip."
What you should know
Seasonal availability: Many cabin facilities operate on limited schedules. "Sites are pretty close together but if you can score a lean to your right on the lake with good spacing between each," advises a Bomoseen State Park visitor about securing the best locations, which typically run "Memorial Day weekend to Labor Day weekend."
Cell coverage limitations: Connectivity varies significantly across the region. At Lake Bomoseen KOA, "There is NO cell coverage and the Wi-Fi is poor and very slow if you can connect," reports one camper. Another adds, "Cell services on ATT and TMobile were nonexistent. Campground WiFi is a joke (less than 1mbps)."
Site selection considerations: Cabin location within campgrounds affects overall experience. "Look carefully at the map when choosing your site. Many of them are near the main road. Sites aren't particularly level or large," warns a Rogers Rock Campground visitor. At Moreau Lake, "Our campsite was spacious but required some maneuvering to avoid scraping trees with our RV."
Tips for camping with families
Water recreation options: Rogers Rock Campground provides multiple swimming areas. "Located at the northern end of Lake George and about 7 miles south of Ticonderoga, Rogers Rock is a boater's paradise," shares one camper. Another notes, "There's a boat inspection station, boat ramp, and mooring as well as a beach."
Playground access: Multiple campgrounds feature dedicated play areas for children. "The play area has a nice set up, overall a nice camping area," writes a Bomoseen State Park visitor. At Lake George RV Park, families appreciate the "awesome amenities including a new waterpark and zero-entry pool."
Indoor alternatives: For rainy days, several facilities offer covered options. "Arcades and game rooms are great for rainy days. Indoor pool too!" shares a Lake George RV Park visitor. Lake Bomoseen KOA features "arcade, mini theater, and indoor mini put" according to a recent guest.
Tips from RVers
Site size awareness: Dorset RV Park presents potential challenges for larger units. "Larger rigs might want to avoid loop 6-14, especially for sites 8-12. Tree placement and a pretty sharp 110+ degree turn makes it challenging to maneuver," warns one RVer.
Dump station access: For cabin campers with RVs, waste management facilities vary. "This is dry camping so there are no hook-ups but there are restrooms and shower," notes a Moreau Lake State Park visitor, though they add there is a dump station available.
Road conditions: Access routes to some campgrounds require careful navigation. "The 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," reports a visitor to Lake George Escape Campground. At Lake George RV Park, guests appreciate that "virtually all blacktop roads" make navigation easier.
