Outdoor recreation: Lake George Escape Campground provides various activities for all ages. "Great camp ground! This place is great for families, it has different activities, a waterslide, peddle carts, kayaks and boats for rent, dancing, and teen specific activities too," explains one reviewer about their experience.
What campers like
Clean facilities: Ledgeview Village RV Park maintains pristine restrooms and grounds. "Super quiet and clean! The place was packed but you wouldn't know it. So peaceful. The pool was very cold but spotless, which was surprising since there's pine trees all around," mentions a camper at Ledgeview Village RV Park.
Waterfront camping: Schroon Valley Resort offers river access that many campers appreciate. "Absolutely one of the best campgrounds in NY, especially if you value nature, quiet, and simplicity. From tubing down the Schroon River to visiting local eateries in Bolton Landing, there is simply nothing better than a stay here," shares one reviewer about Lake George Schroon Valley Resort.
RV-friendly amenities: Several parks cater specifically to motorhome travelers. "This park is amazing! So much to do right in the park with clean sites, friendly staff, awesome amenities and even a trolly to get around this huge park or get down town to Lake George," notes a visitor about Lake George RV Park.
What you should know
Site variations: Not all sites offer the same amenities or views. At Alpine Lake, "Booked an 'Elite 50amp' site but had no realistic map to go by. Many of these types of sites are parallel to the water, but the map makes them look like back in sites," warns a camper.
Seasonal differences: Most rv sites near Middle Grove, New York have limited seasons. "Most parks operate primarily from May through mid-October," with some exceptions for winter camping at certain facilities.
Noise considerations: Some campgrounds experience traffic noise. "The downside is the noise from the Northway within earshot and from the noisy seasonal campers who insist on blasting their music to the whole campground. Loosely enforced quiet hours," reports a visitor to Schroon Valley Resort.
Tips for camping with families
Kid-friendly activities: Lake George Escape Campground offers numerous attractions for children. "Great Camper camp ground! This place is great for families, it has different activities, a waterslide, peddle carts, kayaks and boats for rent, dancing, and teen specific activities too," reports one family camper.
Pet policies: Campgrounds vary significantly in their pet rules. Ledgeview Village prohibits pets entirely, while Lake George RV Park has excellent pet facilities: "Best part - the 2 acre dog park with shaded seating for humans, bathrooms and a dog wash station," shares a visitor.
Space considerations: Choose sites wisely when camping with children. "Some sites were pretty small and would not fit large RVs," notes a Lake George Escape visitor, while another mentions that at Alpine Lake some sites "had a steep drop off to the lake, not all are like this, but be cautious about this if you have young kids."
Tips from RVers
Site navigation: The layout of some rv sites near Middle Grove requires careful planning. "If your site neighbors are in their spots already when you arrive it will probably be hard to navigate unless you have a 20' rig. We don't, ours is over 33'and we were lucky that our site neighbors were both home to move their trucks so we could get in," advises a camper at Alpine Lake RV Resort.
Site leveling: Be prepared with leveling equipment at some parks. "Sites are decent size, but be sure to bring boards to level your trailer for some sites are quite uneven," suggests a Lake George RV Park visitor.
Hookup variations: Different sites offer varying electrical and hookup options. "We got twenty or so television channels with the cable hookup. The hookups were all well-placed and we didn't have any issues with the electric and the wifi at our site worked well," reports a camper from Dorset RV Park, located about 30 miles east of Middle Grove.
