What campers like
Private, spacious sites: Campers at Moose Hillock frequently mention site size as a major advantage for cabins near Huletts Landing. One reviewer noted, "The sites at this park are huge.

Waterfront access: Half Moon Pond State Park Campground offers coveted lakeside camping. A visitor explained, "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." The direct water access makes loading and unloading gear more convenient.

What you should know
Reservation timing: For cabin rentals near Huletts Landing during peak months, planning ahead is essential. At Lake George RV Park, summer bookings often fill 6-12 months in advance. A visitor advised, "We only stayed one night because we were passing thru but it was easy to get a spot!" during off-peak times.
Site variation: Campgrounds offer significantly different cabin types and amenities. At Bomoseen State Park, "The waterfront lean-tos are kind of close together. Because we are all here together, this is not a problem for us. If you want more privacy, some of the primitive sites are a little more spread out."
Weather considerations: Early and late season campers should prepare for temperature fluctuations. Summer thunderstorms can develop quickly on Lake George. Midweek stays typically mean fewer crowds and easier access to amenities, with one Lake George Riverview camper noting, "A Family oriented campground and everyone was very respectful of the posted quiet time."

Wildlife viewing opportunities: Morning and evening hours offer the best wildlife spotting times. One Putnam Pond camper mentioned, "Plenty of wildlife to see and listen to throughout the night." Encourage children to look for deer, foxes, and various bird species common to the area.
Tips from RVers
Site selection for larger rigs: Lake George Riverview Campground accommodates varying RV sizes but requires careful site selection. A visitor observed, "When the park if full, it can be a little cramped for big-rigs to back into some sites, especially the river ones. There are trees to navigate and some of the spots are tight."
Seasonal access considerations: Most campgrounds with cabin rentals near the Huletts Landing area close between mid-October and mid-May. Road access becomes limited during winter months. Seasonal water systems typically shut down by mid-October regardless of temperature.
Utility connections: Full hookup availability varies widely between campgrounds. At Lake George RV Park, "Every site had a fire place and table. Some water sites have a steeper path to the water. Cell service is iffy." Many campers recommend bringing portable water containers for remote cabin sites without direct water connections.
