Camping in the Huletts Landing area provides access to both shoreline and island sites across multiple Adirondack lakes. The eastern shore of Lake George features rocky outcroppings and forested campsites at elevations ranging from 320 to 380 feet above sea level. Summer temperatures typically range from 55-85°F with higher humidity in July and August, creating conditions where waterfront sites are particularly valued for cooling breezes.
What to do
Hiking trails: Rogers Rock Campground connects to several hiking paths with varying difficulty levels. "There is a nice trail to walk that follows along the shoreline" notes Lauren S. about the waterfront trail at Rogers Rock, which provides scenic lake views without significant elevation changes.
Paddling excursions: Putnam Pond Campground offers connected waterways for kayaking exploration. "We spent a day on the ponds (Putnam & North Pond are connected) and it is beautiful. The water is cool, clean and beautiful," reports Michael G. The pond system allows for day-long paddling routes with minimal portaging.
Fishing opportunities: Multiple species are available in area waters. "We ate fresh fish everyday" at Narrow Island Group, according to Rebecca E. At Putnam Pond, the Inman Pond Trail (15 minutes north of the campground) is described as "a nice easy walk in the woods which takes you to a pretty pond good for fishing."
History exploration: The region contains significant historical sites within short drives. At Brookwood RV Resort, visitors note the proximity to historical attractions: "Ft. Ticonderoga and Lake George are right around the corner" according to John, making it convenient to combine camping with historical day trips.
What campers like
Private island camping: Narrow Island Group — Lake George Islands offers a unique boat-in experience. "I love this place so much I almost feel like I shouldn't say it's amazing" shares Sam B. These sites require boat transportation but provide isolation rarely found at mainland campgrounds.
Large, secluded sites: Moose Hillock Camping Resorts features unusually spacious individual campsites. 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."
Waterfront access: Half Moon Pond State Park Campground allows direct water access from tent sites. "We stayed in site T06, which is right on the water. We were easily able to go straight from the tent to our kayak, which was so awesome," reports Tara S., highlighting the convenience for paddlers.
Clean facilities: Consistent maintenance stands out at many area campgrounds. At Bomoseen State Park Campground, Jessica H. notes "bathrooms were the cleanest of any campground we've ever stayed at" while Michael G. reports at Putnam Pond that "The bathrooms were always clean, the showers were always clean and the campground as a whole was ALWAYS CLEAN."
What you should know
Reservation timing: The best places to camp near Huletts Landing require advance planning. "Book 9 months in advance & good luck. Last minute cancellations are a common occurrence though," advises Rebecca E. regarding Narrow Island Group.
Weekday advantages: Hearthstone Point Campground offers a different experience based on timing. "This place is packed on the weekends. If you want to avoid the rush of campers, definitely try to make the trip on a weekday. Sitting by the lake is really relaxing when you're all alone!" recommends Carrie J.
Cell service limitations: Connectivity varies significantly throughout the region. At Rogers Rock, Lauren S. notes "Cell service is iffy" while at Brookwood RV Resort, John reports "We got crappy cell service, and the camp wifi was spotty."
Weather preparedness: Afternoon thunderstorms occur frequently in summer months. At Lake George Escape Campground, one reviewer noted they "had to evacuate the mountain our last evening because of really bad thunder and lightning but the ranger was very helpful and came around to warn us all and encourage us to be careful."
Tips for camping with families
Water parks and pools: Lake George RV Park provides extensive water recreation options. "New waterpark and two pools" are highlighted by April L., while other reviewers note the convenience of "indoor pool, outdoor pool and another (new) water park with zero-entry pool."
Organized activities: Structured programming keeps children engaged throughout the day. At Lake George Escape Campground, Christina M. reports: "There were plenty of outdoor activities to do such as swimming, tubing, kayaking, sports, and bike rentals. They had a gift shop and arcade on site as well."
Playground facilities: Multiple campgrounds feature play areas for different age groups. At Bomoseen State Park, Erica H. notes "The play area has a nice set up" while Crystal-Ann L. describes their family experience: "Our spot was close to the beach which had a fantastic park it was clean not busy at all."
Beach swimming options: Sandy beach areas provide safer swimming conditions for children. At Half Moon Pond, Rebecca D. reports "The swimming beach is small but perfect" while Tara S. describes Bomoseen's beach as "lovely - sandy and perfect for swimming."
Tips from RVers
Site selection strategy: When camping near Huletts Landing, choosing the right site matters significantly. At Lake George Escape Campground, Nancy W. advises: "Campsites in the park are pretty inconsistent – meaning some are long and wide with good privacy but others are not. With over 400 campsites there are a lot to choose from and hard to know which is best for you unless you have been there before."
Road conditions: Internal campground roads vary in quality and navigability. At Rogers Rock Campground, Kim T. notes: "Some roads are unpaved, unmarked with directional signs, very narrow, and tough to navigate."
Utility placement: Hook-up location can affect site usability. At Moose Hillock, April L. notes that "The water/electric was positioned perfectly that we could have gotten away with using 5 foot connections" - indicating shorter cords and hoses may be sufficient.
Seasonal pricing considerations: Cost variations can be substantial between peak and off-peak times. Nancy W. observed at Moose Hillock: "It was $66/night during the first part of our stay but then jumped up to in-season rates that were $99/night plus $20/night because it was a holiday weekend."
