Best Glamping near Mechanicville, NY

Moreau Lake State Park Campground and Piebald Mountain feature upscale glamping accommodations nestled among the forests of upstate New York.

One reviewer highlighted, "Beautiful views, comfy and cozy. Feel so connected to nature." Both locations maintain a balance between wilderness immersion and luxury, with Moreau Lake's glamping sites situated near the shoreline for easy access to water activities, while Piebald Mountain's yurts offer more secluded forest settings with stunning mountain views.

Winter glamping is not available at these locations, though Frosty Acres Campground nearby does offer limited winter accommodations for the more adventurous.

    Treetopia Campground

    Amazing camping/Glamping!

    Treetopia is a unique and truly amazing camping/Glamping experience in the Catskills, New York! We were able to meet Betty, Treetopia’s manager, who toured us around the campground and took us into each type of rental they provide for that special camping trip. They have RV sites, yurts, custom furnished treehouses with electricity, beautiful tiny homes with outdoor living spaces, completely remodeled vintage airstreams, and gorgeous private cabins! Every unit was more beautiful and comfortable than the next. The backdrop for the campground is the wonderful Catskill Mountains and all of the nature that includes. A wonderfully inspiring place! 😊👍🏻

    If you have an RV, they have 30/50 amp with electric and water. There is no sewer, but they have a dump-station and on-site Honeywagon truck that you can schedule. They staff was wonderful and went out of their way to make our stay perfect! 💗

    Caroga Lake Campground

    Good facility, lacks much to do

    We were there 4th of July weekend, and the park was fully booked. Very friendly rangers, electricity in bathrooms, hot showers, and a nice dishwashing and recycling center.

    The campsite connects to the beach area and there is boat rental, but no pets allowed in the beach area.

    For us, a drawback was a lack of any hikes connecting to the campsite.

    Lake George Riverview Campground

    Great campsite!

    We pulled in in the middle of memorial day weekend. The place was sold out. Staff was super friendly and had us check in on no time. The campground loses a start only because when it's at full capacity, it is very cramped. Some sites are much bigger than others and have more space though. The Schroon River run right through the campgrounds and you can rent kayaks and canoes or bring your own to go a ride. There is a little beach and just launch on site. The bathrooms are very nice and all individual with a toilet and shower in one. Another downside of you're more full-time is there is no laundry on site. You're 4 miles away from Lake George's downtown which is a great area. Plenty of nearby hikes. Each campsite had a BBQ-like fire pit. Campground has a very nice basketball court, pool and playground. Dog friendly and even we were there it looks like their looking to expand and make more sites. Only one cabin available at the moment.

    Moose Hillock Camping Resorts

    Nothing special

    The good: large, spacious, private sites that are all fairly level and all about the same size. Beautiful pool with 2 water slides, arcade, and cafe that wasn’t opened during the week but will be starting July 1. Clean facilities. Store was fairly well stocked with things you might’ve forgot to pack. Staff was nice.
    The not so good: lots of rules and charges for every little thing, our walkie talkies picked up on staff conversations and we heard they wanted to charge a family a guest fee for a delivery driver if he was on site more than 15 minutes, Showers cost money at $0.25 per 4 minutes, no wifi at all and poor cell reception, pool is NOT heated as they state all over their website, trash is not picked up, no activities or anything to do other than swim. Far from downtown Lake George and no trolley service, charges for early arrival regardless of whether sites is available or not and you can’t sit in their parking arrival area and wait. I would not choose this campground again. It wasn’t horrible. There is so much more they could offer for their resort prices that they charge. Drove through Lake George RV resort on Rt. 149 and I think I’d choose that campground next time. Check out the boats you ride on Lake George! The Adirondack is dog friendly! Get the coupon at the arcade for $3 off the $25 cost. Frontier Town gift shop on Rt 9 with the big teepee out front had great selection of stuff for good prices. Northway Brewing was fun with good beer!

    Caroga Lake Campground

    Overall, nice.

    We spent a relatively quiet long weekend here on loop F 97, which is a bit removed from the main campground. It was a bit noisy on Saturday night but nothing disturbing.  This site also is bordered by a small stream so expect mosquitoes and the occasional visit from wildlife (we had raccoons at our site each night, so kept food in the car). Each site has a fire pit and a picnic table.

    There is a store just outside the entrance that sells ice, wood, groceries.  There are quite a few roadside firewood sellers that are reasonably priced.  The fire pit does not have a narrow grilling grate so bringing something to ensure your food won't fall through the widely spaced bars is helpful.  

    As I said, our site was out of the main population, but it was a bit of a hike to the restroom which is something to keep in mind if you've really got to get to a bathroom first thing in the morning.  

    There is a Walmart about 10 miles away in Gloverville, so keep this in mind if you are planning on picking up essentials when you arrive.  

    There are no sites with electric.

    Woodford State Park Campground

    Beautiful for fall foliage

    This campground was great. 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. Close to hiking trails and the city of Bennington.

    Moose Hillock Camping Resorts

    Great campsite, great pool. Cafe service is horrendous. Preachy.

    The goods:

    Campsites are the largest and most private I've ever seen. Fantastic. Good privacy. 

    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. Your kids will be here every day and love it. The deepest the pool gets is around 4 feet. There are 2 slides and they are pretty well monitored. 

    The check in staff and the store staff are great. Very helpful. The camp store is pretty well stocked. 

    The needs improvement:

    The café staff are completely incompetent. I went through 3 people to find someone that spoke English. A very basic order of 2 slushies took over 20 minutes and they were both wrong. I watched the same thing happen to the next 4-5 families while my kids drank their slushies. It has a ton of potential but terrible execution. I tried again a day or two later and bought some lunch, it took an hour and the order was wrong. 

    The playlist at the pool area seems to alternate between Jimmy buffett / Bob marley (great!) and a 5 year old's sunday school religious kid songs (wth??). Super annoying. Combine that with the pamphlets handed out at check-in, it's a little preachy. Save that for church, I'm here to camp, Thank you.

    Lake George Escape Campground

    Glamping at its Finest!

    The tent we stayed in was gorgeous! We fit 5 of us comfortably. Linens, blankets and pillows were provided. There was a fire pit, BBQ, picnic table with umbrella, covered platform, and a partition between campsites. There were plenty or outdoor activities to do such as swimming, tubing, kayaking, sports, and bike rentals. They had a gift shop and arcade on site as well. We unfortunately got hit with some pretty bad weather so we couldn't enjoy the grounds as much as we would have liked to but that was obviously not their fault. We had to evacuate the mountain our last evening because of really bad thunder and lightening but the ranger was very helpful and came around to warn us all and encourage us to be careful. They even refunded us for that last night. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a real "glamping" experience! You always see those fancy campsites on Pinterest or Instagram so now you can experience it yourself close to home if you live in NY.

    We made the most of our rainy weekend by checking out the town and some caves. Plenty to do in the area of you want to venture out of the campgrounds but if you're there with good weather I doubt you will be bored!!

    Moose Hillock Camping Resorts

    Great place to stay

    Sites are massive. Even though this is a private campground, each site is like it’s own private oasis with plenty of trees to make you feel like you are camping at most state campgrounds. You are not on top of your neighbor and can actually have some privacy. Great pool (actually boasts the largest heated pool in the Northeast US) and activities. super clean bathrooms and laundry. My only “knock” against is the fire pits. 3 haphazardly arranged rocks does not constitute a legitimate fire area.


Guide to Mechanicville

Moreau Lake State Park Campground offers diverse camping options in New York's Adirondack foothills, approximately 20 miles north of Mechanicville. Situated at an elevation around 400 feet, the park encompasses over 4,600 acres with terrain that transitions from lakeside beaches to wooded mountain slopes. Winter temperatures typically range from 10°F to 30°F, while summer averages hover between 70°F and 85°F with higher humidity during July and August.

What to do

Hiking trails: Moreau Lake State Park features extensive trail networks connecting to camping areas. "Over 20 miles in hiking trails, this is one of the nicest parks, I've visited," notes Moreau Lake State Park Campground visitor Michi P.

Water recreation: Many campgrounds offer multiple water activities beyond basic swimming. "Nice stopover or basecamp for this area... Very wooded. Hiking trails become nice XC skiing trails. Nice sandy beach with lifeguard hours," reports Amber A. about facilities at Moreau Lake.

Outdoor sports: Look for campgrounds with dedicated recreational facilities. At Lake George Escape Campground, "There's a nice big lake and the Hudson River. Many campsites are near the lake. The sites are shady and close together, but still feel fairly private," according to Harry H.

What campers like

Spacious, private sites: Many campers appreciate room between sites. At Moose Hillock Camping Resorts, "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," reports Nancy W.

Wildlife viewing: The natural setting attracts various wildlife. At Frosty Acres Campground, "View of the sunrise over the entire valley are awesome. Very very cool place... Backed up to state forest land," notes James S. who also mentioned consistent wildlife sightings.

Clean facilities: Well-maintained bathrooms and amenities rank high on camper priorities. "The bathrooms and laundry were clean but laundry costs were high at $3.50 for a wash and $3.00 for a dry," mentions one visitor to Moose Hillock, noting both the cleanliness and pricing considerations.

What you should know

Seasonal considerations: Most glamping close to Mechanicville, New York operates during limited seasons. At Woodford State Park Campground, which runs "Memorial Day weekend to Columbus Day weekend," a visitor reports, "We heard coyotes at night and loons in the morning. We're going back later this summer for a longer stay."

Reservation requirements: Popular sites fill quickly, especially on weekends. "The cabin is a few (hard to get) cabins," mentions Sambath T. about Woodford State Park facilities.

Weather preparedness: The region experiences variable conditions. "We unfortunately got hit with some pretty bad weather so we couldn't enjoy the grounds as much as we would have liked to but that was obviously not their fault," notes Christina M. about Lake George Escape Campground.

Tips for camping with families

Kid-friendly activities: Select campgrounds designed for children. "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," reports Sambath T. about Woodford State Park.

Playground access: Look for built recreational facilities. At Lake Lauderdale Campground, "The campground is acres and acres of beautiful land. The management is very friendly. They really want you to have a good time," according to Sarika R.

Noise considerations: Family campgrounds can be lively. At Woodford State Park, "Those other reviews weren't kidding about kids and noise... as other reviews have mentioned there were a ton of happy noisy kids around, couple of unleashed dogs," notes reviewer B, providing practical expectations.

Tips from RVers

Site dimensions: Consider your rig size when booking. "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)," explains Nancy W. about Moreau Lake State Park.

Utility hookups: Verify available connections before arrival. "This is dry camping so there are no hook-ups but there are restrooms and shower. Both were clean but the shower fluctuated between lukewarm, hot, and warm during my shower," reports Nancy W.

Navigation challenges: Some campgrounds have complex layouts. At Alpine Lake RV Resort, "The roads are narrow and many should be one way, but are not. It would have been impossible many places in the grounds to pass a rig on the road due to the amount of other's vehicles," cautions April L.
