Located in the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains at approximately 500 feet elevation, the area experiences warm summers with highs averaging 80°F and cool nights often dropping into the 50s. Many campgrounds maintain hiking trails connecting directly to larger trail systems, with accessibility varying widely depending on cabin location and time of year.
What to do
Hiking and trail exploration: Miles of hiking trails connect from Moreau Lake State Park Campground with "over 20 miles in hiking trails, this is one of the nicest parks, I've visited," according to one camper. Trails range from easy lakeside paths to more challenging summit routes.
Water activities: Lake George RV Park offers multiple water features, including a new water park. A visitor notes, "Water park was great, kids spent all day there. Arcades and game rooms are great for rainy days. Indoor pool too!"
Bike trail access: The paved Warren County Bikeway runs behind several campgrounds. A reviewer at Whippoorwill Campsites shared, "There is a huge bike path that leads to the village and the outlets. Our campsite was close to the road with quite a bit of noise from the traffic but the campers were friendly."
Wildlife viewing: Early mornings and evenings provide optimal wildlife viewing opportunities. A Moreau Lake camper reported, "We heard coyotes at night and loons in the morning. We're going back later this summer for a longer stay."
What campers like
Privacy between sites: Moose Hillock Camping Resorts receives high marks for site separation. One camper described, "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."
Clean facilities: Many campgrounds maintain well-kept bathrooms and shower facilities. A visitor to Woodford State Park Campground noted, "The bathrooms were the cleanest campground bathrooms I've ever seen! The campsites are pretty big and somewhat private which is nice."
Trolley service: Some Lake George area campgrounds offer transportation options. As one Lake George RV Park visitor explained, "Living 10 minutes away, we were looking for an affordable vacation and we found it! There is also a trolly to get around this huge park or get down town to Lake George."
Dog-friendly amenities: Many campgrounds accommodate pets with dedicated facilities. A camper at Alpine Lake RV Resort mentioned, "Whether you're looking for a peaceful retreat or an active getaway, this place has something for everyone. I'll definitely be returning."
What you should know
Reservation requirements: Most cabins book months in advance, especially for summer weekends. Some campgrounds enforce minimum stay requirements during peak season. A visitor to Moose Hillock noted, "We had to wait till 2 weeks prior to book since we are under the 4 night minimum in season."
Cabin amenities vary significantly: Check specific listings for what's included. A Moreau Lake visitor reported, "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."
Road noise considerations: Some campgrounds are located near major roads. One Whippoorwill camper stated, "Our campsite was close to the road with quite a bit of noise from the traffic but the campers were friendly and the staff was very attentive."
Off-season limitations: Many facilities close or reduce services after mid-October. A visitor to Woodford State Park Campground shared, "The snack bar and gift/supplies shop at the sandy beach area were not open as we were there late in the season."
Tips for camping with families
Look for dedicated children's programming: Lake George Escape Campground offers organized activities. A visitor shared, "Great for families. Nicely wooded and not crazy packed. Conveniently located near things to do."
Consider pool and water features: Some campgrounds offer extensive aquatic options. A camper reported about Deer Run, "Family oriented. The kids loved love water attractions. Our site was large and shaded."
Evening entertainment options: Many campgrounds host nighttime activities. As one Lake George RV Park visitor noted, "Free shows every night at the playhouse kids loved. Animal shows kept daytime events going strong."
Playground access: Multiple campgrounds feature play structures. A visitor to Moreau Lake mentioned, "Nice playground and beach, volleyball. Would recommend."
Tips from RVers
Site leveling challenges: Bring leveling equipment as needed. A camper at Rustic Barn Campground noted, "We had a nice secluded site for our van. Off grid but with good sun for solar. Matt, the host, is so nice and made sure we had everything we needed."
Dump station locations: Not all campgrounds offer full hookups. One Moreau Lake visitor pointed out, "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."
Access road considerations: Some campgrounds have narrow entry roads. A Moose Hillock camper advised, "The roads are narrow and many should be one way, but are not. It would have been impossible many places in the grounds to pass a rig on the road."
Full hookup availability: Verify services when booking. An Alpine Lake visitor shared, "The RV sites were spacious and clean, with full hookups and easy access. Everything was well organized, and I appreciated the quiet atmosphere and friendly neighbors."
