      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 Pool was looking a bit outdated when we were last there but totally functional.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.

      North Beach Campground

      Great Campground “On The Water”

      I have a 24’ RV towing a 30 foot trailer for perspective. I easily fit in site 107 and lots of other sites would have worked. They have a place to drop trailers if you don’t fit.

      Sites 90 to 108 are best. Spaced out under trees.

      Sites 1 to 16 are close to each other.

      Sites 113 to 119 are bad. Very close to each other. No redeeming qualities.

      Sites have 30 amp electric and water but might need a longish cord or hose. Clean easy to use dump with water.

      Tent sites looked nice.

      Short walk to nice beach or you can drive a car. Short tunnel so no campers or bikes on the roof.

      Right next to rails to trails path that goes onto a causeway over the lake. There is a bike ferry to keep going. Nice ride.

      Nice dog park 3/4 miles to the South on the trail.

      Far away from noise. Can’t comment on loud campers.

      Lake Placid/Whiteface Mountain KOA Holiday

      Great Area

      We visited this campground twice this summer after the switchover to KOA. They had lots of activities to take back to the campsite for rainy days. They do not have a dog park and this caused our pup to get a bit hyper.

      Meadowbrook Campground

      Conveniently Located, but a bit Noisy

      This is a very basic campground situated in a small village in the Adirondacks – situated between Saranac Lake and Lake Placid. Every site has a picnic table and an open fire grill and most of the sites on the outer ring have a lot of privacy as they are lined with trees and shrubs. Lots of spaces for larger RV’s, but we saw mostly tent campers.

      Bathrooms are mostly clean and the showers are nice. There is a quality dishwashing sink by the bathrooms. Overall, the campground is ok, but needs a bit of a facelift, repainting, etc. Also, you can hear the sounds of the city (cars, leaf blowers, and other things that remind you that you are not truly in the woods).

      The best part about this campground is that it is conveniently located between two awesome places and is relatively inexpensive, so if you don’t plan to spend much time in the campground itself, it’s perfect.

      We used this campground as a basecamp to mountain bike on an awesome trail just outside of Saranac Lake, the Bloomingdale Bog trail. The following day, we did a quadrathlon that involved kayaking the length of Lake Placid, hiking to the summit of Whiteface Mountain, kayaking back, and then finished the day at Lake Placid Pub and Brewery for dinner. Highly recommended, but plan on a 9-10 hour day on the lake/trail!

      With its central location, this campground is close to everything you may need, most even within walking distance.

      Cumberland Bay State Park Campground

      We had a fantastic time!

      I'm from this part of Upstate New York State, and we came up for a weekend to go to a baby shower and decided to camp out at Cumberland Head! Lots of shadey spots, very nice camping spots on Lake Champlain and the morning sunrise is beautiful!! Do yourself a favor, and visit Cumberland Head State Park!!!

      Lake Placid/Whiteface Mountain KOA Holiday

      This is a good place to sleep, but not much more to it

      To start off, we are avid KOA campers. So when we looked at this campground, we expected the typical layout which had a swimming pool and other stuff for the kids, however, this campground lacked all of the above. When we arrived here, check-in was easy we did drive along ways to get to our campsite which was nice to be wooded, but I did miss the typical activities and KOA usually has which when I booked the site, I usually expect them since the prices usually, fairly high compared to state parks. Our main reason for seeing KA versus state parks for these extra activities. With that said the bathrooms were clean, which we barely use since we have a full hook up camper. The dog park was very small and it looked like they did the very minimum to check the block. If you’re looking for a place to run your little guy around, he might be disappointed at this place. However, there are plenty hikes nearby to wear them out if you desire. As far as location, there is a lot of stuff to do in the area as we went and hike, the mountain, which was amazing.


    Guide to Mineville

    The Mineville area of New York's Adirondack region sits at approximately 1,100 feet elevation with cool summers averaging 75°F and winters dropping well below freezing. The forested terrain consists primarily of northern hardwoods and pines with numerous ponds and lakes scattered throughout the landscape. Cell service remains limited to 1-2 bars in most camping areas, with Verizon typically having the most reliable coverage.

    What to do

    Explore water activities: Lake Champlain at Crown Point Campground provides excellent boating and kayaking opportunities. "Beautiful views of Lake Champlain and Vermont. We stayed here one night in our RV with no hookups. The site was gorgeous and the campground clean," reports Rae M.

    Visit historical sites: The Crown Point area features significant historical attractions. "Lots of history here, old forts. On river border of NY & VT. Nice views from the campsites, some places to walk around including a bridge," notes Harry H. The preserved ruins of Fort Douglas and nearby museums make this area particularly interesting for history enthusiasts.

    Hiking trails: Multiple hiking options exist within the region's wilderness areas. Putnam Pond Campground offers trail access to several ponds and an old graphite mine. According to Michael G., "Running through the campground are several hiking trails... Take the yellow trail through the sites to the Rock pond lean-to. Along the pond there are great views and potential swimming locations. Take the red trail around and you will come across the old graphite mine."

    What campers like

    Quiet atmosphere: Many campers appreciate the peaceful settings at several dog-friendly campgrounds near Mineville. "It is a very quiet and clean campground. The deer flies were horrible everywhere but in our site. The bathrooms were always clean, the showers were always clean and the campground as a whole was ALWAYS CLEAN," describes Michael G. about Putnam Pond Campground.

    Waterfront access: Lakes and ponds throughout the region provide beautiful views and swimming opportunities. At Paradox Lake Campground, one reviewer noted, "The lake was amazingly clear! enjoyed kayaking here," while another mentioned, "Beautiful scenery and well kept and new places."

    Remote site options: For those seeking more seclusion, some campgrounds offer boat-in sites away from the main camping areas. "We have stayed here at the remote sites several times. Site roo5 is our favorite a private island all to yourself! Roo6 is good too but a little further to row out to," shares Tara F. about Putnam Pond.

    What you should know

    Limited amenities: Facilities at most campgrounds are functional but basic. At Rogers Rock Campground, "Sites aren't particularly level or large. Cell phone coverage is spotty, I was getting 1-2 bars with Verizon," notes Jean C.

    Weather considerations: The Adirondack region experiences significant seasonal variations. Summer temperatures can be pleasant but cool, especially at night, while spring and fall camping requires preparation for potential cold weather. Peak summer months (July-August) tend to be more crowded and can become buggy.

    Reservation timing: Popular waterfront sites book quickly, especially during peak season. "Book early for the best sites," advises Ian P. about waterfront locations. Many campgrounds in the region operate seasonally from mid-May through early October.

    Tips for camping with families

    Playground access: Several pet-friendly campgrounds near Mineville offer playground facilities for children. At Button Bay State Park, "This is a good campground for families that are not too rowdy. There is a pool for swimming, paved roads are good for bikes & scooters, pavilion for activities, lake for swimming & fishing and hiking trails," explains Lacy C.

    Swimming options: Look for campgrounds with designated swimming areas. "This state park is so fun to camp at! It has a great playground for kids and a nice swimming pool! You can hike on the trail and Lake Champlain is right there!" shares Debbie S. about Button Bay State Park.

    Site selection: Some campgrounds have both sunny and shaded sites, which affects comfort during hot days. "The first camping loop is where you'll find the lean-tos and the dog trail/beach. This area is super quiet, offers a bit of shade, and plenty of privacy. The second camping loop has a few waterfront camping cabins... The main camping area is essentially a huge field, so not much shade or privacy," explains a reviewer about Button Bay's different camping areas.

    Tips from RVers

    Hookup availability: Many campgrounds offer varying levels of RV services. At Bridgeview Harbour Marina, RV sites provide hookups while maintaining waterfront views. "This is a very unique spot. The campsites are just a short walk away from the working marina. So you will hear some equipment noise from folks maintaining and launching boats," notes Cam R.

    Road conditions: Access roads vary in quality throughout the region. Some campgrounds have recently improved their internal roads. At Paradox Lake Campground, "The roadways have also recently been paved. The grounds are kept very clean," according to Jo W.

    RV size limitations: Most Adirondack campgrounds accommodate small to medium-sized RVs but may present challenges for larger rigs. "Some roads are unpaved, unmarked with directional signs, very narrow, and tough to navigate," warns Kim T. about navigation challenges at Rogers Rock.
