4 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Moreau Lake State Park and Lake George RV Park feature some of the most appealing glamping accommodations within a short drive from Latham, New York. Safari tents and glamping units feature elevated comforts like proper beds with linens, heating systems for cool evenings, and access to modern bathroom facilities. One reviewer highlighted, "The lake views are especially breathtaking — perfect for early morning coffee or a sunset stroll." Many of these luxury camping options include private decks or sitting areas where guests can enjoy the natural surroundings while maintaining comfort. Sites are typically well-spaced, providing a sense of seclusion despite being in established campgrounds. Woodland Hills provides additional glamping options with several yurts and canvas tents situated on their wooded property.
Hiking trails and water activities enhance the glamping experience at these destinations, with Moreau Lake State Park offering over 20 miles of trails through diverse terrain. Paddleboard and kayak rentals are available at several locations, allowing glampers to explore the waterways without bringing their own equipment. A visitor noted, "We had a site on the lake and were able to fish from our spot." Most glamping sites operate seasonally from May through October, with peak booking periods during summer weekends and holiday periods. The proximity to both Lake George's attractions and the southern Adirondacks makes these glamping resorts ideal base camps for exploring the region's natural beauty, small towns, and recreational opportunities, while returning to comfortable accommodations each evening.
"Winter campfires. Owners Mike and Sherri are great. Dumpsters, laundry with coin machine. Very remote. Windy as all get out. Elevation about 1409 feet."
"Great thing about this park is the hiking trails and lake so you don’t even have to leave to the park to enjoy great outdoor recreation."
"Good distance between campsites, good bathroom, fire pits. Overall really good. Would go back."

"Quiet, great fire pits, clean bathrooms, firewood and starter for sale plus access to day use area. The lake next to the campground is beautiful and has plenty of picnic tables and grills for use."
"We stayed in site 64 which is set back more than 2 car lengths from the road and is pretty well surrounded with trees so it feels very private and secluded."
from $150 - $200 / night
"My first visit to New York state was amazing, largely in part due to my campsite at the Woodland Hills campground."
"We found this site on Campendium, we needed a site close to the Lebanon Valley Speedway to watch a friend race."

"**Lake George RV Park may be the greatest campground we’ve stayed at yet!"
"We rented a golf cart from an outside course which was SUPER expensive, so it would be nice if the campground offered their own rentals, but if that's our only complaint, we're happy campers."
"We stayed at a platform tent site and were able to park two vehicles on site but the grounds had plenty of parking not too far from the sites."
"I would advise to bring your own water, because the running water they provide doesn't taste the best and smells like rotten eggs. Just my opinion."
Available this weekend
from $21 - $175 / night
"Dunno why others are complaining about the 3 rocks as a fire pit. Plenty functional and directs the heat out towards the seating area. The pool is as good as it looks in the pictures."
"Great pool (actually boasts the largest heated pool in the Northeast US) and activities. super clean bathrooms and laundry."
TravelerA nice wooded campground that was quiet despite being almost full on our Friday night stay.
The site we stayed at (64) had some pretty large roots to drive over and may have been an issue for a low clearance vehicle (we have a Subaru Outback).
The shower / house bathroom combo units weee very clean with hot water and baby changing station.
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!
LegendWe 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.
ScoutVery welcoming... great place. Upkept everything is up to par. Showers are prolly the nicest as far as campgrounds goes.
TravelerThis 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.
RangerThe 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.
RangerThe 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).
LegendWe 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!
TravelerI called as we were 3 hours away for a spot for the night. The lady who answered was amazing and asked everything to pick us the right spot. We showed up after hours and found our spot. It was so peaceful and so beautiful. Bathrooms were extremely clean! I recommend this spot to everyone! Well worth it!
Glamping options around Latham, New York include platforms, cabins, and yurts situated primarily in state parks and private resorts. The Latham area sits at the transition between the Hudson Valley and southern Adirondacks, with elevations ranging from 200 to 1,500 feet creating diverse camping microclimates. Seasonal operation typically runs May through October with most sites closing after Indigenous Peoples' Day weekend due to frost potential.
Hiking trails with elevation gains: At Moreau Lake State Park Campground, trails range from easy walks to challenging climbs. "Over 20 miles in hiking trails, this is one of the nicest parks, I've visited," notes one camper, while another mentions "Hiking trails become nice XC skiing trails" for winter visitors.
Paddling options for all skill levels: The park's lake provides protected waters for beginners. "The lake is nice for canoeing and kayaking but fish number and sizes are limited due to number of people fishing it on a regular basis," according to a visitor who recommends morning paddling to avoid crowds.
Swimming in natural settings: Woodford State Park Campground offers a natural swimming area with beach access. "The reservoir is beautiful- plenty of space to spread out for paddling and swimming," reports a visitor. The park maintains separate swimming areas including "a nice grassy area on the water that's dog-friendly, and a separate little no-dog swimming and paddle boat area."
Nature observation sites: Wildlife viewing opportunities abound throughout the camping areas. At Piebald Mountain, one glamper reported, "We were greeted by some turkey and visited by some deer," highlighting the proximity to wildlife that luxury camping sites offer.
Private, spacious glamping sites: Lake George RV Park receives consistent praise for site quality. "Well maintained from the roads now to the gardens. They pay attention to every detail," writes one reviewer. The park includes "large sites, virtually all blacktop roads, bike trails, dog park, indoor pool, outdoor pool and another (new) water park with zero-entry pool."
Clean, modern facilities: Bathroom and shower facilities at most luxury camping locations exceed expectations. "The bathrooms were the cleanest campground bathrooms I've ever seen," notes a visitor to Woodford State Park. This attention to cleanliness extends to other amenities like pools and common areas.
Entertainment options for rainy days: Many glamping sites offer indoor alternatives when weather doesn't cooperate. Lake George RV Park provides "free shows every night at the playhouse kids loved. Animal shows kept daytime events going strong... Arcades and game rooms are great for rainy days."
Campsite privacy at premium locations: Moose Hillock Camping Resorts stands out for site separation. "The sites 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," reports a visitor who appreciated the thoughtful layout.
Seasonal variations in amenities: Most glamping sites near Latham have limited seasons. "We were there late in the season. The snack bar and gift/supplies shop at the sandy beach area were not open," notes a Moreau Lake visitor, highlighting the importance of checking operating schedules.
Reservation windows and requirements: Booking policies vary significantly between parks. At October Mountain State Forest Campground, "No same day reservations or walk ups allowed," which can limit spontaneous trips. Weekend booking may require substantial advance planning during peak summer months.
Pet policies differ between locations: Rules regarding pets vary widely. "Take note that only two pets are allowed per campsite, so plan accordingly if you are a pet owner," advises a Moreau Lake visitor. Other sites like Woodford State Park welcome dogs in most areas but have restrictions: "Dogs are welcomed here! Every site has a fire pit and a picnic table... No dogs allowed in the yurts."
Noise considerations at various sites: Campground ambiance varies significantly. "Due to it's proximity to I-87 and being conveniently located 20 minutes from both Lake George and Saratoga Springs the park draws large crowds," warns a Moreau Lake reviewer, suggesting midweek stays for those seeking tranquility.
Look for organized activities: Spacious Skies Woodland Hills caters to family groups. "Over the weekend they had organized corn hole games and several other ways to get physical and have a blast. They also had a community 'Father's Day' breakfast (fathers ate free!) which was open to all and yummy!"
Water recreation access: Pools and swimming areas provide entertainment value. "The pool is very cool, my kids really enjoyed it, but it was crowded and you are constantly dodging footballs & other balls," notes a visitor to Moose Hillock, suggesting evening swimming when "the pool is a little less crowded & lit up nicely."
Playground availability: Many glamping sites include play structures. Moreau Lake State Park offers "a nice playground for kids to enjoy" according to a visitor who appreciated having on-site recreation options after hiking.
Site selection for families: Choosing the right location within a campground matters. At Woodford State Park, a reviewer advises, "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!" demonstrating the importance of matching expectations to campground culture.
Site leveling considerations: Terrain varies significantly between glamping locations. At Copake Falls Area — Taconic State Park, "platform sites are great it makes it real easy to set up a tent because of the platform that the tent goes on," which benefits both tent and RV campers looking for stable foundations.
Accessibility for large vehicles: Navigating campground roads requires planning. At Moreau Lake, "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 and limitations: Most luxury glamping sites offer partial or full hookups, but with variations. "This is dry camping so there are no hook-ups but there are restrooms and shower," notes a Moreau Lake visitor, highlighting the importance of understanding utility access before arrival.
Dump station and water fill locations: Services vary between parks. Some glamping locations offer on-site sanitation while others require planning. "If you need propane, there is a very convenient fill-up as you enter the campground," notes a visitor to Moose Hillock, indicating the availability of essential RV services.
