3 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Lake George RV Park features one of the largest dedicated dog parks found in any camping facility near Queensbury, with sprawling space for off-leash play and socialization. This well-maintained park welcomes pets at its wooded campsites, providing full hookup RV spots, tent sites, and pet-friendly cabins throughout the property. Moose Hillock Camping Resorts offers spacious, private sites with ample room for pets to enjoy the camping experience without crowding neighboring campers. Lake George Escape Campground and Hearthstone Point Campground also accommodate pets with designated pet-friendly areas. Most campgrounds in the region require pets to be leashed when outside the RV or tent, with leash lengths typically restricted to six feet. Pet owners must clean up after their animals, with waste stations available throughout the facilities. Large dog parks allow pets to exercise off-leash in designated areas. Local campgrounds are searchable through The Dyrt's listings.
Trails surrounding Lake George provide excellent pet exercise opportunities with varying difficulty levels from easy walks to challenging mountain hikes. The Inman Pond Trail, located about 15 minutes north of Moose Hillock, offers an easy woodland path where dogs can swim in the pond. Pinnacle Trail and Buck Mountain deliver spectacular lake views and dog-friendly hiking routes with proper leashing. Campgrounds typically require vaccination records for pets and implement quiet hours that apply to barking dogs. Many campers appreciate the Lake George area for its dog-friendly atmosphere, with several reviewers specifically highlighting the immaculate conditions of Lake George RV Park's dog facilities. Whippoorwill Campsites and King Phillip's Campground also provide pet-friendly accommodations with nearby access to water features where dogs can cool off during summer months.
"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."

ScoutIt was dark. I arrived after 7p. There were 3 rv camps already going on. All 3 had camp fires. Many fire rings for many groups. No hassles at all. It's off the beaten path but worth it. The first 4 camp sites were open. Made a fire. Ate some food. I got a good night sleep. Nothing ate me or attacked me so that's 5 star in my book.
TravelerThis is a quick and easy pull off that is large enough to accommodate most vehicles. Only con which wasn’t that big of an issue was that you are close to the road, so any vehicles going by which wasn’t many you would hear. Besides that you are in dark and quiet state forest. I would recommend this to someone for a quick overnight stay rather than an extended stay.
GuideThere was a few sites 5-6 we didn’t get to the eastern loop. But the sites we saw were very secluded. All had fire pits ours had a picnic table. And was right next to the creek. Would highly recommend if you want to get away from city lights. All sites are not maintained. We had a small off road camper it was easy In and out some sites could be hard with larger pull behinds. Some sites might need 4wd to get in and out we had lots of mud after a lot of rain.
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.
TravelerLots of beautiful spots to pick from but be careful some are a bit muddy. We brought our school bus down the dirt road just fine and backed right in. They also have fireplaces which was nice!
GuideWonderful owners. A variety of sites to choose from in a relaxing setting. No waste hookups here, but they have a dump station. $51 per night with cash.
LegendThis is a quiet campground in a quiet part of the state. The terrain is mountainous, and all of the sites are private. There are two loops, one for tents/RVs and one for lean-tos. We stayed in the Willow lean-to, and while our site didn't have a view, it was one of the most private sites we've stayed in and just a short walk to the bathhouse.
The campground was created by the CCC in the 1930s, and from what I've heard, it hasn't changed much since that time. While we were here, we visited the Calvin Coolidge State Historic Site (very cool), Long Trail Brewing, and the town of Woodstock. Great trip!
TravelerMultiple small fire ring, camping spots with an outhouse down a trail by site 3.
GuideFree dispersed camping site in the Green Mountain National Forest, off a dirt road. The site curves around past the driveway so you can tuck up into the trees to be more private. The upper part there has a circular open area, surrounded by thin trees. There’s a fire ring set up midway on the site. It felt more isolated than other sites I’ve stayed at and there were quite a few animal sounds in the woods, including large animal bones left past the treeline. They seem to be left behind from people (based off of how the bones were cut). Dispersed camping so don’t expect facilities of any sort. Decent site and pretty large compared to some of the other spots. Heard Barred Owls in the distance which was awesome. Uploaded a video of the site at night and pics of the area on a map that my friend was able to pull up.

The area sits at roughly 400 feet elevation with summer temperatures averaging 75-80°F during peak camping season from May through October. Winter camping isn't common as most campgrounds close after Columbus Day when temperatures drop significantly.
Kayaking on Schroon River: Located at Lake George Riverview Campground, the river access provides excellent paddling opportunities. "The river is the attraction at this Campground that provides hours of entertainment... my kids really enjoyed fishing& floating in the river," notes one camper.
Hiking to mountain viewpoints: Several trails near Moreau Lake State Park Campground offer varying difficulty levels. "Over 20 miles in hiking trails, this is one of the nicest parks, I've visited," says a reviewer. The Buck Mountain and Pinnacle trails provide excellent views of Lake George.
Biking on paved paths: The Warren County Bikeway connects several camping areas. "There is a nice bike path that leads to the village and the outlets," notes a camper at Whippoorwill Campsites. This paved trail runs from Lake George Village to Glens Falls, making it easy to access attractions without driving.
Private, wooded sites: Many campers appreciate the natural separation between sites. "Sites are huge. Plenty of room for our RV, and small tent. Private," shares a camper about Moose Hillock. The campground designs sites with natural barriers for privacy.
Individual bathroom facilities: Lake George Riverview Campground offers private bathroom setups. "The private bathrooms were an unexpected surprise. Each bathroom was large with toilet, sink and shower!" reports one reviewer who appreciated the cleanliness and privacy.
Location convenience: King Phillip's Campground gets high marks for its strategic position. "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!" The trolley stop outside provides additional transportation options.
Site variations within campgrounds: At Hearthstone Point Campground, quality varies significantly. "The bottom part of the campground is gorgeous...the beach area is beautiful but keep in mind not all sites are created equal though so def scout around for next stay," advises one camper.
Seasonal pricing fluctuations: Rates can jump significantly during holidays. One Moose Hillock camper noted, "It was $66/night during the first part of our stay but then jumped up to in-season rates that were $99/night plus $20/night because it was a holiday weekend."
Weekend noise levels: Some campgrounds get busy and noisy on weekends. "Friday and Saturday night there was a ton of street noise from Rt9," reports a camper at Hearthstone Point. Weekday camping tends to be quieter, especially outside July and August.
Look for campgrounds with activity options: Luzerne Campground offers multiple recreation choices. "We have been going to this campground for almost 15 years. We always get our site close to the lake so we can walk down and swim and my husband fishes. Love that we can rent boats too."
Consider swimming options: Some campgrounds offer lake swimming while others have pools. "The swim area seems to be a draw for people so the summer camping season is probably packed," notes a Moreau Lake visitor. Many campsites provide both natural and pool swimming options.
Check bathroom cleanliness reports: Facilities vary widely between campgrounds. "The bathrooms are so nice and private and clean," says a Luzerne Campground camper, while others report inconsistent maintenance at other locations.
Site leveling challenges: Many campgrounds in the region require preparation. "Our campsite was spacious but required some maneuvering to avoid scraping trees with our RV. Campsites are spacious, shady, and had good separation between the neighboring sites," shares a Moreau Lake camper.
Hookup considerations: Lake George RV Park offers full-service sites. "Every site had full hookups. Nice for not having to empty grey tanks into wagon!" notes a satisfied RVer. However, some campgrounds have limited full hookup availability.
Navigating internal roads: Large rigs should research campground layouts carefully. "Roads in the park are confusing because none are parallel or perpendicular so we had to go slow just to make sure we didn't miss a turn in the RV," cautions a camper at Lake George Escape.
