    Spacious Skies Woodland Hills

    A peaceful place with character.

    My first visit to New York state was amazing, largely in part due to my campsite at the Woodland Hills campground. I had a back in site and was having problems with my camper, and they were able to change to a pull through at time of check in. However, it was in early May and before the summer crowds. The pond has a fountain which sounds like a small waterfall at night, and wildflowers were in bloom. Very nice bathrooms and showers, and my dog loved the dog park.

    Lake George RV Park

    The best in Northeast

    This is the best RV resort I have visited. The whole family will love, including pets. I can't do justice to the dog park, it has to be the best dog park in USA. 

    Everything you want in an RV park. The only think missing is a large lake but you can take trolley to Lake George. You set up and will not need your car until you leave.

    Trolley through the park and to Lake George. Awesome camp store. Tennis, pickle ball, basketball. Movies, pools, splash pad, trails, fishing pond, food & ice cream. The list goes on. A must stay.

    Lake George Escape Campground

    Nice all around

    It’s been a few years since we were there last but always enjoyed going here. 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 Pool was looking a bit outdated when we were last there but totally functional.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.

    Lake George Escape Campground

    Friendly staff n guests, Clean, All around great activities.

    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. On a river with water activities, beach, pool, a BAR, and so many more outdoor activities. Every night there are wagon tours of the campground, staff is seen frequently but very relaxed environment. Very family and pet friendly (They have their own dog park!) This was my 5th summer going up with friends and about our 8th trip overall and every time it’s a great experience!

    Lake George Escape Campground

    Camping July 2018

    Sites-the section we were in the sites were huge and clean, the grass needed to be cut.

    Staff was excellent! Helpful and Courteous

    If you need a baby sitter this is a place for you,

    No adult supervision . Kids riding motorized scooters, mini bikes, and driving golf carts.

    Definitely going over the 5mph posted limit.

    Dog park needed to have the grass cut.

    Bugs are horrible bring bug spray and a screenhouse.

    Don't pay xtra for water site on frog pond. That's exactly what you get a grass and frog swap.

    Boat launch clearly marked no swimming and no going to the other side. Clearly people can not read.

    If you have young children this is the place for you, many activities for children.

    Wi-Fi - If you need internet they charge you for it. Most campgrounds offer free Wi-Fi (we did pay the $15 because we needed it for work).

    Over priced if you don't have children to take advantage of the activities offered.

    Suggestion allow pet swimming at the boat launch.

    Lake George RV Park

    Top pick for dog lovers!

    We have camped at dozens of campgrounds & Lake George RV park is our top pick. Great sites, customer service & the best part is the dog park. This is a must visit park if you have dogs. Dog park is a 10 & like the entire park, it is immaculately kept.

    Lake George RV Park

    ★★★★★ Getaway to the Adirondacks

    Lake George RV Park may be the greatest campground we’ve stayed at yet! 

    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 staff treated us so nicely and the array of resort-level amenities are beautifully-maintained and clean. They run a free trolley within the campground and to the local retail outlets. The park is so large, you’ll be happy to see that red trolley coming around to take you to and from your campsite and the swimming pools(plural), game room, theater which offers nightly entertainment, paddle boats, cafe, dog park, and much more. In addition, a local trolley service operates an hourly ride to and from Lake George Village. The cost is just$1 per person per trip(free for young kids) and discounted tickets are available for sale at the campground. The many opportunities for activities and entertainment are top-notch. Not just“campground-nice,” but really nice! And everything they offer is included at no extra cost(except food, of course). Check out their mobile app for updates to activities, a trolley tracker(fun+ helpful!), and more. 

    The camp store was well-stocked with food and drinks, souvenirs, and RV/camping supplies. 

    Our pull-thru site(#109) was level and the full hookups all worked fine. Like most of the park, our site was nicely wooded for shade, but none of the trees were in the way of our motor home. Each site had its own trash can and they collected garbage daily. That’s nice and convenient. 

    Lake George RV Park is such a great place to stay that I hate to point out anything negative, but it’s why we rely on reviews. Two negatives to report. The site was a nice size and beautiful in so many ways except for the sandy dirt. With how charming everything is, I was surprised they didn’t at least put down gravel let alone concrete or asphalt in the sites. It was impossible to keep the dirt and sand out of our RV— and we tried. It also rained a few times during our stay which made it even worse. The other negative is their nonexistent wi-fi. It’s 2022, and we rely on wi-fi for connectivity to the office along with the ability to watch tv using streaming services(especially on a rainy night). The size of this place probably makes it difficult to provide good coverage, but it would be a huge improvement if they could figure it out. 

    It’s obvious that this is a family-operated campground because they offer so many niceties that corporate owners have done away with elsewhere. I positively can not say enough about how great this campground is. It’s a tremendous place and we can’t wait to go back! 

    THINGS I LIKED: 

    • Clean and meticulously maintained property and facilities. 

    • So many activities and entertainment options(at no extra cost!). 

    • Proximity to Lake George Village. 

    THINGS I’D CHANGE: 

    • Cover the sites with gravel, concrete, or asphalt. The sandy dirt is too messy. 
    • Install reasonable wi-fi service.

    Lake George RV Park

    Great Outdoors with Resort Ammenities

    We got a wooded site that is not a too far walk from any of the action or amenities. The dog park area is huge and allows for lots of play. The human amenities of the camp store and cafe are great. Lots of types of ice cream and other snacks.
