Both locations feature canvas glamping tents with comfortable beds, electricity, and private outdoor spaces. Moreau Lake's glamping sites blend seamlessly with the natural surroundings while providing essential comforts like picnic tables and fire pits. "The tent we stayed in was gorgeous!

Most glamping sites remain open from May through mid-October, with Lake George RV Park operating from May 4 until Columbus Day. Winter glamping options are limited, though some locations like Frosty Acres offer year-round accommodations. Reservations for premium glamping tents are recommended well in advance, especially for summer weekends when these unique accommodations book quickly.

Huge sites but sloped, dirty, and pricey
We spent a long weekend at Moose Hillock in Fort Ann, New York, to visit Lake George. This is a difficult place for me to review. But I’ll do my best to share my experience.
The pool is the main attraction here and probably the largest and most ridiculous I’ve ever seen at a campground. Great for young kids.
THINGS I LIKED:
— The sites are enormous and private, probably the biggest sites we’ve ever seen at any campground we’ve stayed at.
— The mature trees are everywhere, great for privacy.
— It’s located about 25-minutes to the heart of Lake George. Easy drive away but not in the loud and busy area.
— The camp store is pretty good and sells snacks, drinks, basic supplies, and souvenirs.
THINGS I DIDN’T LIKE SO MUCH:
— Our site(# 709) was sloped, so much that even with leveling boards under the rear wheels, rear jacks fully extended and front jacks fully retracted, we couldn’t level. That’s annoying and so easily fixed by a campground this size with this array of equipment and resources.
— Except for the entry roads, the rest of the park is gravel and dirt, which was extremely dusty. Our vehicles and our stuff were instantly covered by this dusty dirt which was a never-ending battle to keep outside.
— I’m ok paying premium money for a great site, but this site wasn’t matched to the price. I paid$647.38 for 3-nights. That’s$215.79 per night.
WOULD WE COME BACK?
Probably not. For me, having a level site that’s not covered in dirt and dust is important— especially when it costs$215 per night. There’s a much nicer park about 10-minutes away(closer to Lake George) where we’ve stayed in the past. The sites are smaller, but they’re level.

Nice well kept campground easy off the highway
i stayed here in my Class B for an overnight for a concert in Brattleboro. What a surprise! you might figure that being so close to the city, and the highway, it would be somewhat abused, but not so. Very clean and well kept. There are a couple short hikes around, one with a limited view. both are easy level, 100+ ascent. Bathrooms were clean and well stocked. Dump station very clean and easy access. Noise level, you can hear the highway a little, but not alot. i was here on a Friday night in August, and it was maybe 25-33% full. One unique feature is the adirondack shelters. In pristine condition. Noise is not that much different than campground on secondary roads, honestly. Kudos to Vermont State Parks for their attention.
Tracy M.GuideFort Dummer State Park Campground
Spacious and private; bath house old but clean
This campground is pretty centrally located with easy access to grocery stores, gas, and the highway. It is down a quiet road far enough that you do not hear any traffic noise. We stayed in one of the lean-to site, Beech. It was spacious, level, and private. The walk to the bath house was a bit hilly, but relatively close. The bath house is older as others have noted, but it is clean. Showers are coin-operated for hot water. And as you'd expect, buggy in July/August. Bring the bug spray!

Beautiful State Campground!
This is one of the nicest state campgrounds I've ever been in. Typical state campground, they offer no services at this sites. They do have a dump station and potable well water, and trash disposal. Very quiet campground, some road noise during the day but not at night!. Sites around the open field offer good solar and open sky for Starlink. The staff was great.

Extensive hiking, well maintained
The campground is on a hillside and we stayed in one of the higher sites, further from the electrical site. The background humming was faint. There are 2 very close sites next to 3 yurts. The first night, our yurt neighbors partied until 1:30 am, and the 2nd night a family stayed and were in bed by 9:30. The closest bathrooms were down the hill a bit and were clean with a nice shower. Amazing hiking trails right from the campground. Our dog encountered a porcupine, and got away with only a couple of quills to the lower lip. If you have a dog, you will need to show a current rabies tag to bring them into the campsite.

Woodford State Park Campground
Site 73
The campground is secluded and quiet, lots of trees and the pond is pretty. There is a good hike around the pond (2.5 miles or so) with cool pull offs for wildlife spotting (we saw two loons fishing for their baby).
Site 73 itself had the camp beach access which brought some people in close proximity but they were all respectful. The beach is more of a muddy, rocky, bay but shallow enough for wading.
Fire wood seemed expensive for what we got ($9 per bundle).
Carly E.LegendMolly Stark State Park Campground
Great park
We stayed at the park in our truck camper for two nights. It was very clean and quiet. We stayed in site five which was very secluded, large site that was level and perfect for a small camper or van. There are two trails right from the park that lead up to the Mount Olga fire tower, and a trail continues over that which ends at a local distillery, with a general store and a brewery with awesome pizza across the street as well. (~ 1.5 miles one way to the distillery). The views from the tower and the distillery/brewery/store are gorgeous. The bathrooms and showers were extremely clean, and it was only $.50 for five minutes of hot water. They also had firewood for sale. nearby Wilmington is very close and a cute town, and it is not far to Brattleboro and Bennington as well. We came up for some cycling training and there are multiple options for gorgeous gravel riding routes. The only slight downside was that Route 9 is a little busy and there was some occasional road noise, but it wasn’t too bad and not really noticeable at night at all. There were several really nice lean-tos, the loop with sites 2 through 12 are much nicer and more secluded and wooded, the loop with sites one through 23 are more open and in a field with less shade and privacy. Would not hesitate to stay again!
Guide to Johnsonville
Camping options surrounding Johnsonville, New York sit primarily within the transitional zone between the southern Adirondack foothills and the Taconic Mountains. Most campgrounds in this region operate between May and mid-October due to the area's cold winters and substantial snowfall. Forest camping sites typically sit at elevations between 800-1,500 feet, creating cool evening temperatures even during summer months.
What to do
Hiking accessible trails: Several campgrounds near Johnsonville provide direct trail access for day hiking. At Woodford State Park Campground, visitors can explore paths around the reservoir. "We heard coyotes at night and loons in the morning. We're going back later this summer for a longer stay," notes Melissa S. about her experience at Woodford.
Waterfront activities: Many area campgrounds feature swimming and paddling options. The Lake Lauderdale Campground provides water recreation just 20 minutes from the Vermont border. As Mansi D. shares, "We visited last year and were blown away by the beauty. So many things near by to exlore. Lake lauderdale state park and Vermont is just 20 mins away."
Mountain exploration: The region offers excellent access to nearby peaks and state forests. At Emerald Lake State Park Campground, visitors can hike trails with varying difficulty levels. "Beautiful campground in south central Vermont. On a lovely emerald green small lake with nice beach. Good for fishing and kayaking," reports Christina S.
What campers like
Spacious, private sites: Many campers highlight the site separation at campgrounds near Johnsonville. At Moreau Lake State Park Campground, reviewer Michi P. notes, "I love the spacious campsites. It's very woodsy between sites, so it seems very private. Bathrooms and Showers are clean. Over 20 miles in hiking trails, this is one of the nicest parks, I've visited."
Clean facilities: Campgrounds in this region generally maintain well-kept bathrooms and shower facilities. At Woodford State Park, one camper reports, "The bathrooms were the cleanest campground bathrooms I've ever seen! The campsites are pretty big and somewhat private which is nice. They also have cabins you can rent."
Diverse accommodation options: Many locations offer camping alternatives beyond traditional tent sites. At Piebald Mountain, visitors can experience glamping near Johnsonville in yurts. "Excellent week at piebald mountain! We were greeted by some turkey and visited by some deer. Comfy and cozy setting," says Tarah Z. about her stay.
What you should know
Seasonal limitations: Most campgrounds in the region operate on limited schedules. Moreau Lake State Park Campground runs from "May 6 to October 13," while other facilities like Alpine Lake RV Resort operate from "May 6 to October 10."
Variable water access: Not all waterfront campgrounds offer direct lakeside camping. At Emerald Lake State Park, "While there are trails down to the lake from the campground, none of the sites are waterfront, or even water view. In fact, many of them are perched on a steep ledge, making them a bit sketchy for families with kids," reports Tara S.
Busy summer weekends: Popular campgrounds fill quickly during peak season. Regarding Lake George areas, Nancy W. notes, "We can imagine it could get very busy and noisy in the busy summer season. The beach area seems to be a draw for people so the summer camping season is probably packed."
Tips for camping with families
Choose sites carefully: Not all sites work well for families with children. At Emerald Lake State Park, a reviewer advises, "If you have little ones, check out the map before you reserve a site and find one on the opposite side of the ledge."
Look for kid-friendly amenities: Campgrounds with pools, playgrounds, or shallow water access better suit families. At Woodford State Park, Sambath T. reports it's "perfect for families! there are tons of different types of campsites with either tent spots, lean tus, and a few (hard to get) cabins. bathrooms are plentiful and clean, hot showers for a small price."
Consider noise factors: Family-oriented campgrounds may have different noise profiles. Another camper at Woodford notes, "If you're looking for a quiet spot maybe don't look here. If you have kids and don't mind them making friends and roaming the campground then this is great!"
Tips from RVers
Site accessibility varies: Many campgrounds have tight turns or narrow roads. At Moreau Lake State Park, one reviewer mentions, "The road to our campsite was paved and in good shape but there were a few tight spots because of the trees that make it tricky for a big rig (Loop A seems to be the best for big-rigs)."
Hookup availability: Several campgrounds offer limited or no hookups. At Savoy Mountain State Forest Campground, an RVer reports, "There are RV sites and there is a dump station/potable water fill station available at the park entrance, but no RV hook ups of any kind."
Off-grid considerations: Cell service is inconsistent throughout the region. A Savoy Mountain visitor notes, "The park is so hard to find that not even a cell signal can get there, if you're looking to unplug this is a great spot!"
