2 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Several established RV parks operate near Johnsonville, ranging from basic facilities to resort-style amenities. Lake George RV Park features full hookups with 50-amp service, paved interior roads, and operates from May through Columbus Day. Alpine Lake RV Resort offers waterfront RV sites with electric, water, and sewer connections, while Arrowhead Marina & RV Park provides big-rig friendly pull-through sites with 50-amp service. Ledgeview Village RV Park maintains spacious sites with full hookups just outside Lake George. "The sites were spacious and clean, with full hookups and easy access. Everything was well organized, and I appreciated the quiet atmosphere and friendly neighbors."
Navigating into some campgrounds requires caution, particularly for larger motorhomes. The roads in several parks are narrow and may present challenges when other vehicles are parked. According to one visitor, "Tree placement and a pretty sharp 110+ degree turn makes it challenging to maneuver. I don't think campground staff is familiar with their own campground and that larger rigs are likely to have issues." Most RV parks in the region offer sanitary dump stations, though not all provide on-site showers. Seasonal availability typically runs from May through mid-October, with some parks closing after Columbus Day weekend. Pet policies vary by location, with most parks allowing dogs but enforcing leash requirements and designated pet areas. Cell service can be spotty in more remote locations, especially those nestled in valleys or heavily wooded areas.
"I stayed at Alpine Lake RV Resort for three nights and had an absolutely fantastic experience."
"Great park near Lake George. Very spacious with many different activities to do! They have movies, dances and even some kayaking, padding, ect."
"Campground is placed 10 minutes from the bottom of Lake George with great hiking trails in the surrounding area. The campground it’s self it’s very clean in every aspect."
"Facilities were always clean. Campground is pet friendly and have a small dog park. Pool was looking a bit outdated when we were last there but totally functional. We’d go back in a second."
"Jamaica is a nice little state park nestled in the woods and by a nice River. Very family friendly and close to Manchester and Stratton and Bromley Mountains."
"The campsites were beautiful with the river behind us. Not to many people there so we're got the best spot. The bathrooms are sanitary and are not port-a-potties."
from $20 - $42 / night
"Very clean, flat pull through site."
"** Located about 2-miles from the New York State Thruway(I-87), this park is ideally situated for a Lake George area vacation. We spent 6-days in early-August and it really wasn’t enough. "
"The roads and campsites are gravel and a little tight to get around because of all the trees but we were able to manage in our 45’ motorhome."
"Great location near a fantastic quarry, country store, and Manchester shopping. The camp grounds were family friendly and quiet. They even had rabbits and chickens for the kids to enjoy."
"Absolutely one of the best campgrounds in NY, especially if you value nature, quiet, and simplicity."
"friendly staff, pool, playgrounds, large rec room. my son had a great time. only downfall was the sandy lots"
"Quiet campground. Bathrooms very clean. Pool was nice. Campground nice for younger families."
"Our site was back-in and had plenty of space. There's a lot of green space in this campground and it's right on the river. We were next to a little fenced in area for dogs that our dog loved."
"Well maintained, located on the Mohawk River. Shady, grassy areas. Boat launch and pier. Friendly people. A perfect campground."
"RV site was very large and mostly level. Good location. Close to Hudson River and Albany."
from $275 - $395 / night
TravelerCamp is pretty close together but most spots have a thick tree line between them which is nice. You still get a bit of road noise off the bridge and surrounding areas but it’s not to bad and the views at the boat launch on the Hudson are gorgeous
ScoutIt was dark. I arrived after 7p. There were 3 rv camps already going on. All 3 had camp fires. Many fire rings for many groups. No hassles at all. It's off the beaten path but worth it. The first 4 camp sites were open. Made a fire. Ate some food. I got a good night sleep. Nothing ate me or attacked me so that's 5 star in my book.
GuideThe park looks fantastic! Well maintained camp sites and beautiful river sceneries from the boat launch area!
Bathhouse is one of the best I have seen!
Check in was smooth. Everyone was courteous!
TravelerLots of beautiful spots to pick from but be careful some are a bit muddy. We brought our school bus down the dirt road just fine and backed right in. They also have fireplaces which was nice!
LegendMostly peaceful campground with nice spots, most of which offer some privacy. If you are bothered by trains, note that you will hear them in the background quite frequently from the railroad bridge that passes over the Hudson River. It's not loud by any means, but you can hear them.
The state park staff and the camp hosts were all very friendly, and it has some of the cleanest bathrooms I've ever seen in a state park.
Site 20 is a pull through site and it's huge, and while it is next to the shower building, it's far enough away that it really isn't a problem. Also, the field between you and the shower building is a fantastic spot to set up a Starlink dish.
GuideWonderful owners. A variety of sites to choose from in a relaxing setting. No waste hookups here, but they have a dump station. $51 per night with cash.
TravelerLaundry is clean, bathrooms are clean and showers are hot. Pool, dishwashing station, sometimes quite sometimes very active. Love this place! Wish it was open year round!
TravelerGreat little campground in Berkshire County. Mostly suited for tent camping or small RVs, although there are definitely sites for RVs to use. Call to get an idea of what’s available if you do plan on bringing your RV. The facilities were clean and the trails well marked.
ScoutThis is a very pleasant campground just a couple of miles off the interstate. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Full hookups at most sites. Many amenities available. A very quiet setting to rest and repose. Highly recommended!

The trails vary in difficulty with some suitable for families.
