2 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Moose Hillock Camping Resorts and Lake George Escape Campground provide luxury glamping accommodations in the Adirondack region. Huttopia Adirondacks stands out with 109 glamping sites featuring canvas tents with comfortable beds and modern amenities, while Lake George Escape includes yurt options for an elevated outdoor experience. These eco-friendly glamping destinations are situated within a short drive of Lake George Village, allowing guests to enjoy both wilderness seclusion and nearby attractions. The sites at Moose Hillock are particularly spacious and private, with enough room between accommodations to ensure a peaceful retreat. Each glamping unit includes electricity, comfortable bedding, and access to clean shower facilities. One guest shared, "The sites are very large and clean. Pretty much all the sites are the same except that a dozen or so don't have as many large trees around them and provide lots of privacy."
The Aloha Beach Tropical Swimming Pool at Moose Hillock serves as a centerpiece attraction for glamping visitors, featuring caves, waterfalls, waterslides, LED lights, and a swim-in theater for nighttime movies. Lake George Riverview Campground and Ledgeview Village RV Park supplement their glamping options with family-friendly activities scheduled throughout the season. Most glamping properties operate from early May through mid-October, with Moreau Lake State Park Campground remaining open until October 13. Proximity to hiking trails in Adirondack Park provides glamping guests with outdoor recreation opportunities ranging from easy woodland walks to challenging mountain climbs with panoramic lake views. A recent visitor mentioned, "Nearby is good hiking in Adirondack Park where trails range from easy to difficult and have some great views of the lake and surrounding area. The Inman Pond Trail is a nice easy walk in the woods which takes you to a pretty pond good for fishing."
"**Lake George RV Park may be the greatest campground we’ve stayed at yet!"
"We rented a golf cart from an outside course which was SUPER expensive, so it would be nice if the campground offered their own rentals, but if that's our only complaint, we're happy campers."
"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."
"Great pool (actually boasts the largest heated pool in the Northeast US) and activities. super clean bathrooms and laundry."
"Linens, blankets and pillows were provided. There was a fire pit, BBQ, picnic table with umbrella, covered platform, and a partition between campsites."
"You’ll also a well stocked store as well as a really good restaurant/bar on site. The purple section is the quietest and the blue is closest to the activities."
"Great thing about this park is the hiking trails and lake so you don’t even have to leave to the park to enjoy great outdoor recreation."
"Good distance between campsites, good bathroom, fire pits. Overall really good. Would go back."

"We spent 2 days here on site M2. It was full hookups. The site pad was packed gravel and slightly unlevel. We have a 27 foot camper and was slightly difficult to maneuver into the site."
"The staff is amazing and know the area very well and are always willing to help. The camp ground is set up nicely and some sites are very private which is nice as well."
"Bathrooms very clean. Pool was nice. Campground nice for younger families."
"Big sites, grounds were very clean, level sites, quiet, staff was very pleasant."
"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."
"Electric and water hookups. WiFi was great. Cable tv hookups, also. Dump station on site was convenient. Also, they had propane there, so I topped off. Beautiful campground."

GuideNice campground near Killington, VT. Water and dump station. Not for big rigs we have a 21 ft TT. Things were tight but doable. One of the few Vermont state campgrounds that is still open. Most close from second Monday in October until Memorial Day.
LegendWe spent a long weekend at Moose Hillock in Fort Ann, New York, to visit Lake George. This is a difficult place for me to review. But I’ll do my best to share my experience.
The pool is the main attraction here and probably the largest and most ridiculous I’ve ever seen at a campground. Great for young kids.
THINGS I LIKED:
— The sites are enormous and private, probably the biggest sites we’ve ever seen at any campground we’ve stayed at.
— The mature trees are everywhere, great for privacy.
— It’s located about 25-minutes to the heart of Lake George. Easy drive away but not in the loud and busy area.
— The camp store is pretty good and sells snacks, drinks, basic supplies, and souvenirs.
THINGS I DIDN’T LIKE SO MUCH:
— Our site(# 709) was sloped, so much that even with leveling boards under the rear wheels, rear jacks fully extended and front jacks fully retracted, we couldn’t level. That’s annoying and so easily fixed by a campground this size with this array of equipment and resources.
— Except for the entry roads, the rest of the park is gravel and dirt, which was extremely dusty. Our vehicles and our stuff were instantly covered by this dusty dirt which was a never-ending battle to keep outside.
— I’m ok paying premium money for a great site, but this site wasn’t matched to the price. I paid$647.38 for 3-nights. That’s$215.79 per night.
WOULD WE COME BACK?
Probably not. For me, having a level site that’s not covered in dirt and dust is important— especially when it costs$215 per night. There’s a much nicer park about 10-minutes away(closer to Lake George) where we’ve stayed in the past. The sites are smaller, but they’re level.
ScoutVery welcoming... great place. Upkept everything is up to par. Showers are prolly the nicest as far as campgrounds goes.
ScoutPeaceful, quiet, relaxing space. Super friendly staff.
ScoutThis was our first trip away from home. The campgrounds are clean with beautiful views.
RangerThe campground is secluded and quiet, lots of trees and the pond is pretty. There is a good hike around the pond (2.5 miles or so) with cool pull offs for wildlife spotting (we saw two loons fishing for their baby).
Site 73 itself had the camp beach access which brought some people in close proximity but they were all respectful. The beach is more of a muddy, rocky, bay but shallow enough for wading.
Fire wood seemed expensive for what we got ($9 per bundle).
TravelerTerrible. Only 1 bar of Verizon. They have WIFI but it’s useless. Plus way too crowded for me. Noisy
GuideWe love camping in VT State parks and this is another humdinger of a park. Lots of room between sites, well-cared for, walkable to lovely lake… excellent camping experience.
TravelerMy partner and I went on 4th of July weekend for the first time and was greeted by a man in the parking lot who had been coming there for 40 years. The site was gorgeous with 10 different campsites to choose from. The past reviews are correct with a lifted four wheel drive vehicle being needed for this drive in if you plan on getting paddled boats/kayaks in the water. Our plan was to go in and out to explore but decided to hunker down once we took the road in to avoid driving it multiple times. There are four hike-in camps from the parking lot. All campsites are marked on AllTrails. We stayed on the East side camp, #10, which after setting up and visiting the rest of the sites, had the least views from camp of the water but was the most secluded. Many sites have a privy or a box with a hole and a lid. There were a total of four trucks/jeeps in the lot all weekend and only a few camps being used. The black flies and mosquitos were bad given the time of the year so be prepared if you come during the same time. There are some beautiful trails that connect to the parking lot that lead to other hike-in camps at other small ponds/lakes.
There are green tags on the trees marked next to the water where the camp sites are. We made the mistake of setting up our tent at a makeshift campsite someone made and found the "no camping" sign after and ended up moving. There are beaver, ducks, and loons living at the pond.
Lake George Region campgrounds operate primarily from early May through mid-October, with most facilities closing by Columbus Day weekend. The area sits at elevations ranging from 320 to 1,000 feet above sea level within the southern Adirondack foothills. Sandy soil conditions are common at many sites, which can create drainage issues during rainy periods but generally allow for firm tent placement.
Bike trails nearby: The area features paved bike paths connecting multiple communities. King Phillip's Campground offers easy access to a dedicated trail. "We road the bike path each day to and from Lake George. It was downhill on the way there and a little bit of an uphill battle on the way back but totally worth it! Bring your bikes!!" reports one visitor.
Paddle on Schroon River: River access points provide opportunities for kayaking and canoeing. Lake George Riverview Campground sits directly on the water. "The river is the attraction at this Campground that provides hours of entertainment... We loved it and cannot wait to return," notes one camper who enjoyed fishing and floating activities.
Explore island camping: For a more remote experience, boat-accessible sites offer seclusion. "Worth a trip from just about anywhere. Absolutely beautiful and you can't beat camping on an island," explains a visitor to Long Island Group, which requires water transportation to reach camping platforms.
Private wooded sites: Many campgrounds offer natural separation between sites. Moose Hillock Camping Resorts receives high marks for site design. "Each site is gigantic and well thought out and can easily say there is not a bad site in the place. Best sites are along the outer perimeter as they provide more privacy," explains a reviewer who stayed before peak season.
Clean facilities: Well-maintained bathhouses and recreation areas are consistently mentioned. "Beyond clean facilities. Very friendly and helpful staff. Went with 3 kid under 8yrs old. they had a blast abd so did we, they have family activities everyday too," reports a visitor to Moose Hillock.
Easy lake access: Though not directly on Lake George, many campgrounds offer convenient transportation options. "There is also another trolly to the village of Lake George, Great Escape and the outlet center," mentions a camper who appreciated the shuttle service at Lake George RV Park.
Highway noise: Some campgrounds sit close to major roads. "The Northway was directly to the west, maybe 1000 ft through the woods, extremely loud traffic noise," warns a Lake George Campsites visitor who found constant traffic sounds disruptive.
Seasonal crowds: Popularity varies dramatically by season. Moreau Lake State Park Campground gets particularly busy during peak periods. "Due to its proximity to I-87 and being conveniently located 20 minutes from both Lake George and Saratoga Springs the park draws large crowds of downstate tourists... during the summer season I wouldnt go here expecting to have the park to yourself," cautions a regular visitor.
Price variations: Costs increase substantially during holiday periods. "It was $66/night during the first part of our stay but them jumped up to in-season rates that were $99/night plus $20/night because it was a holiday weekend," notes a Moose Hillock camper describing Memorial Day weekend pricing.
Dog-friendly amenities: Several parks offer dedicated pet areas. "Best part- the 2 acre dog park with shaded seating for humans, bathrooms and a dog wash station," highlights a Lake George RV Park visitor, noting this feature as particularly valuable for families traveling with pets.
Age-appropriate activities: Scheduled programming varies by campground. "They have family activities each day like limbo, scavenger hunts, movie night at the pool (in summer months) and a great pool to swim in with two water slides," explains a Lake George Escape Campground visitor who found plenty of entertainment options for different age groups.
Sand conditions: Many sites have sandy surfaces that affect setup. "The sites are roomy and semi-private which is nice. The sites are sandy/dirt which was a mess when it rained," warns a camper about surface conditions that can complicate tent camping, especially with children.
Site selection factors: Specific locations within campgrounds vary significantly. "The angled sites and wide roads make backing in very easy... The park is very large so if you want to be near the pool/entertainment area or nearby bathrooms, pick your site accordingly," advises an RVer at Moose Hillock.
Leveling challenges: Terrain throughout the region can be uneven. "Sites are decent size, but be sure to bring boards to level your trailer for some sites are quite uneven!" recommends a Lake George RV Park visitor who needed additional equipment to properly set up.
Luxury glamping close to Queensbury, New York: For those seeking glamping accommodations, several dedicated options exist. "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," describes a Lake George Escape visitor who enjoyed the premium canvas tent experience.
