Several RV parks serve the Poestenkill area with varying levels of accommodation. Lake George RV Park operates from May through Columbus Day with full hookups including 30/50-amp electric, water, and sewer connections. Alpine Lake RV Resort in Corinth provides similar amenities from May to October, with sites that accommodate larger motorhomes and fifth wheels. Camp Catskills maintains 40 RV sites with electric hookups, sewer connections and water access. Site layouts vary considerably between parks, with some offering spacious pull-through options while others have back-in spots that require careful maneuvering. "The sites are either wooded or open in the sun, with good distance between sites," according to one visitor to a nearby state forest campground.
Seasonal availability impacts RV camping options throughout the region, with most parks closing after Columbus Day weekend. During peak summer periods, advance reservations are strongly recommended, especially for premium waterfront sites with full hookup access. Parks within 30 miles of Poestenkill offer varying levels of amenities – some provide only basic water and electric while others include cable TV connections, WiFi access, and on-site propane service. Dump stations are available at most locations, though visitors note that some parks have limited facilities relative to their size. Many campgrounds welcome pets but may have restrictions on certain breeds or require documentation. Mountain access roads can present challenges for larger motorhomes, particularly when navigating toward campgrounds in the nearby Taconic and Berkshire ranges.

GuideGreat stop! New owners have created an awesome family friendly park with swimming/fishing pond, clean restrooms and beautiful grounds. Big rigs fit.
LegendWe thought this park was o.k.– nothing special but nothing bad but we really wanted to see the area since we were told the town of Dorset was so pretty. When we checked in, there was a sign that personnel were working in the park and there was a phone number for us to call. They responded right away and met us at the office and showed us where our site was.
The campground was clean and tidy with nice tall trees. The roads and campsites are gravel and a little tight to get around because of all the trees but we were able to manage in our 45’ motorhome. There were a scattering of amenities like a rec room with games, shuffleboard, playground, volleyball, horseshoes, laundry, and showers. There are community activities like bonfires, bingo, pot luck dinners, and complementary donuts& coffee every Sunday morning.
Our site was level but some definitely were not. 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. We had a picnic table and fire pit. The sites next to us were not occupied which was nice because otherwise it would have felt a little tight. We did notice a bit of road noise when sitting outside. There are some really nice tent sites set away from the RV sites that sit under large trees and have nice space. The only drawback is they are farther away from the bathrooms.
Loved the area, the Green Mountains are beautiful so there is plenty of sightseeing to do. Dorset is a cute tiny town that is beautiful in the fall. The nearby town of Manchester is home to Orvis and there is an interesting fly fishing museum next door. Overall, the park was fine for us and we would stay again if we were in the area. We paid ($47/night) for our full hookup, 50-amp site.
ScoutNice campsites, nice facilities, nice forest!
Not sure I’d try a really big rig here, but our little 16’ trailer fit in great. I don’t see any pull through sites, but I didn’t seem them all.
RangerAlthough the campground was right off the road, it's still in a forest with big pine trees and mossy boulders. It was easy to access from 87. Given the proximity to the road, there is road noise, so that doesn't allow for that super outdoorsy experience you might desire. At night though it would get very dark and quiet - there weren't a lot of campers there during our stay. The camphost lives in a home onsite and was mostly helpful. Be sure to mention the 5 nights for 4 deal on their website upfront, otherwise she won't reimburse. Upon working with her to extend our stay, she said people were scheduled to come into our spot. We moved and no one arrived, so that was a bit annoying.
To get to the sites, we had to take it a bit slow because there are some low hanging trees and a turn, but made it fine. Our first site, 22, was a back-in, 30 amp, full hook-up. It was a long site with plenty of room for our RV and SUV. We had to back it up to the very end to find the flattest option to level. With the way they have their sites set up, you need a 50 ft hose for water. This site was close to the showerhouse but next to a longterm trailer with crap everywhere and we weren't super thrilled that was our view from our windows in our living area. Our second site, 50, was also a back-in, 30 amp, full hookup. It was very pretty but hard to level. The site slopes up, so the backend was high. We tried about every way to sit our rig in there to level, but we ended up driving our front tires up on some leveling blocks and went up with the jacks as much as we safely could. We didn't get a perfect level, but we decided it was ok since we only had 2 days left. We had to wiggle our SUV in kind of sideways, but it worked.
There were some "residents" there in tents, which was interesting and a couple longterm trailers (with the typical cluttered lots you see at campgrounds that offer longterm stays). The campground is clean and the shower houses were faithfully cleaned everyday around 11a. Showerhouses were dated, but had super hot water for showers.
A few miles further down the road is the town of Lake Luzerne. We visited their small grocery which had the basics and we ate at one of the restaurants which had a view of the water (Upriver Cafe). The campground was in a perfect location to visit Lake George and surrounding area (Six Flags, outlet shops, putt-putt, restaurants etc). If you're wanting to explore even more you're only 1.5 hrs to Lake Placid and the Green Mountain National Forest.
Work was difficult with my husband dependent on AT&T. The Weboost got Verizon working fine, but AT&T was spotty. We had some issues with our RV that we were trying to get fixed locally which extended our stay, otherwise we would have left earlier due to this. The camphost told us that they had invested in some sort of mini Verizon tower for their personal use, so that was what was helping the Verizon signal. The campground offers wifi at the office/pool/rec room area, but when the "residents" come down, it brings it to a snails pace. My husband would go down there in the morning to work and had to go to Starbucks in Lake George at times when all the kids at camp decided to be on their devices at the same time.
Pool is not heated, so not many people were using it. They charge $2 per garbage bag to be put in their dumpster. They sell a few necessities in their office and firewood. They have laundry with 1 working residential washer $1 and 1 residential dryer $.75 and 1 industrial sized dryer $1. We did a couple loads with no issue. They are outside in a patio area.
Bring the bug spray. The mosquitos were as big as birds and tenacious!
GuideThis place was recommended by a friend It is exactly what she said Clean, friendly stuff , large RV welcome, but it seems tight for the big ones We had a site with Electric and Water hook up There are sewer hook up available also Over all a great place Pet friendly, ( we had two dogs)
GuideLocated in the Catskills. This is a family friendly there’s bathrooms/showers playground, pool, potable water and a outdoor pavilion. Located near hiking in the Catskills and 15 mins to Woodstock.
The tent site are very richly and uneven, it was very hard to pitch a tent. When it rains theres a horrible smell across the campground.
TravelerPros- warm clean bathrooms Warm cinnamon buns in the am Great playground, pool and pirate ship. We were there with the Scouts and took up a huge grassy area with tents. Looks like a lot of RV’s for the long term, some pop ups, we were the only tents. Went river rafting so super convenient.
GuideThis was our second trip to King Philip's Campground. Big resort with tons of seasonal sites and residents. A small pool, and lots of activities for guests. Sites have full hookups including cable tv. Getting the right site here is key. Some have room, privacy, and trees. Others are close together, and out in the open. Great access to Lake George area, just outside of town, which can be nice given all the activities in town.
Poestenkill camping areas sit along the eastern edge of New York's Capital District, with elevations ranging from 500 to 800 feet. The surrounding terrain features mixed hardwood forests, small lakes, and seasonal streams that vary significantly in flow between spring runoff and summer months. Winter camping options remain limited across the region, with most facilities closing after mid-October.
Waterfall hikes: 3-mile round trip to Hamilton Falls from Jamaica State Park Campground follows a gravel road along the West River. "There is plenty of trails in the area and you can go to the waterfall/rock slides and take a dip in the pools. The area is beautiful and good food across the street," notes Jackie G.
Water recreation: Multiple options at ponds and lakes throughout the region. "They have these dinos scattered throughout the park and also a few pools. So much to do on the camp ground and great for group camping! Other larger lakes close by for water sports as well," explains Meag F. about activities at Lake George RV Park.
Mountain biking: Access to forest trails from several campgrounds. "Clean well kept level areas! Staff was friendly! Great hiking or biking along the West River," reports Chris S. about Jamaica State Park's trail system.
Fishing: Freshwater opportunities in stocked ponds and natural lakes. "The sites were large and wooded. Great access to Mt Greylock and LOTS of hiking close by. Staff was so accommodating-always willing to spend time giving recommendations," writes Stephanie about Mt. Greylock Campsite Park.
Spacious waterfront sites: Many campers appreciate water access. "Waterfront sites worth the dollars! Bring your boats and SUP boards for lots of fun! Staff is friendly and helpful. Grounds are large and well maintained. Hikers and water enthusiasts will live this place," shares Deb V. about Alpine Lake RV Resort.
Clean facilities: Bathroom and shower quality matters to visitors. "The bathrooms are sanitary and are not port-a-potties. For us, they also had a playground to play at, and a boat dock to kayak," explains Meike W. about Jamaica State Park.
Recreation options: On-site activities receive positive feedback. "There were plenty of activities to keep me entertained — from relaxing by the lake and enjoying the hiking trails to spending time at the recreation areas," notes a reviewer at Alpine Lake RV Resort.
Natural surroundings: Wooded sites provide privacy and shade. "Its got so many different nooks and crannies and so many different levels up and down the hill and Valley and just a beautiful peaceful place in the woods," says Ami B. about Mt. Greylock Campsite Park.
Site topography varies significantly: Many campgrounds feature uneven terrain. "The campground has a lot of hills and some are pretty steep. We always bring our bikes and love to bike through the campgrounds, but this one is not good for biking," cautions Kim R. about Mt. Greylock Campsite Park.
Seasonal operations: Most facilities close after mid-October. "Super clean. Great location near a fantastic quarry, country store, and Manchester shopping," mentions Rachelle S. about Dorset RV Park, which operates May through October.
Cell service limitations: Coverage can be spotty in mountainous areas. "Small town general store, no cell service and a gorgeous back drop is a perfect spot to just unwind from the real world," reports Brittany B. about Jamaica State Park.
Reservation requirements: Book early for premium sites, particularly summer weekends. "We drove in on a whim and were pleasantly surprised by how well the staff accommodated us. We managed to get a prime leanto site right on the river," says M.A.D. P., though this experience may be uncommon during peak periods.
Look for designated swimming areas: Several parks maintain beaches with lifeguards. "Nice little weekend getaway. Clean bathrooms, roomy tent sites, nice staff. Fun playground and nature area for kids. Very family friendly place with beautiful hikes to Hamilton falls," writes Fransheska A. about Jamaica State Park.
Consider parks with organized activities: Some facilities offer scheduled entertainment. "The campground is so clean and nice! Perfect for the dogs with best dog park I ever saw. Free shows every night at the playhouse kids loved. Animal shows kept daytime events going strong," says Michael C. about Lake George RV Park.
Platform tent sites: Offer advantages during wet conditions. "This was our second time coming to this campground and our second time getting dumped on by the rain, but have no fear!! The platforms kept us off the ground and were helpful in setting up appropriate tarp protection," shares Rosie R. about Taconic State Park.
Playground access: Several campgrounds feature play equipment. "They have movies, dances and even some kayaking, paddling, etc. They have these dinos scattered throughout the park and also a few pools," notes a visitor about recreational options for children.
Water pressure concerns: System capacity affects multiple RV sites near Poestenkill, New York. "Had an issue with water pressure on Saturday around 10am and called the office to make sure there was not a known water issue. Front desk knew nothing and said they would send maintenance but we never saw anyone. The situation improved so we think it was just a high demand time of day," reports April L. about Alpine Lake RV Resort.
Navigation challenges: Narrow roads affect accessibility. "Tree placement and a pretty sharp 110+ degree turn makes it challenging to maneuver. I don't think campground staff is familiar with their own campground and that larger rigs are likely to have issue in this loop," warns Katie E. about Dorset RV Park's internal roads.
Site dimensions: Confirm measurements before booking. "Large sites, grounds were very clean, level sites, quiet, staff was very pleasant," reports Eric C. about Ledgeview Village RV Park, which offers sites suitable for larger recreational vehicles.
Hookup placement: Connection locations vary between parks. "Well maintained, located on the Mohawk River. Shady, grassy areas. Boat launch and pier. Friendly people. A perfect campground," notes Coffee&Camping T. about Arrowhead Marina & RV Park, which features full-service waterfront sites.
