SUMMARY PRESENTED BY
Several RV parks surround Ray Brook in the Adirondack region, accommodating various motorhome sizes and preferences. Spacious Skies Adirondack Peaks in North Hudson provides full hookup RV sites with 30/50-amp electrical service, water, and sewer connections. Brookwood RV Resort, open May through mid-October, offers big-rig friendly sites with full hookups. "Sites were clean and the fire pits were beautiful, with water/electric for a trailer at $35 a night in perfect location between Keene Valley and Lake Placid," noted one visitor. Shady Oaks Camping Resort near Plattsburgh maintains 100 sites with 30-amp service, operating seasonally from May through September with level gravel pads suitable for larger motorhomes.
Navigation to mountain campgrounds requires careful planning due to elevation changes and occasional tight turns. Most RV parks in the region provide sanitary dump stations, though availability varies by season with many facilities closing between mid-October and early May. Pet policies differ between properties, with Spacious Skies and Brookwood welcoming pets while others maintain restrictions. Cell service can be inconsistent throughout the Adirondack region, particularly at campgrounds situated in valleys or heavily wooded areas. Some RV sites require significant leveling equipment, as one camper mentioned: "RV site 8 is so out of level that we couldn't get our Airstream level unless we put 10 inches of blocking under both axles." Propane refill services are limited, requiring travelers to secure fuel supplies before arriving at more remote locations.

GuideLake Placid/Whiteface Mountain KOA Holiday
Amazing
This is a Class A 5⭐️KOA Campsite! We arrived late and Jox & his sweet wife helped us manuever our RV into our pull through site B05. We were super close to the office, store, snacks, laundry & activities. Our site was a “ dirt” site that had a picnic table and fire pit with full hook ups. This campsite has concierge service that will help you out with any of your wants/needs. Great site in nature’s finest.

Monica F.GuideBrown Tract Pond Campground
Just what we needed. Rustic peace.
Beautiful, peaceful large pond/small lake. Loons. Ducks and ducklings. Beaver. Canoes($20/day) and kayak rentals. Firewood for sale ($9?) or gather downed wood. Fishing. Large sandy Adirondack beach and day use area. Pet friendly. Very friendly staff. Clean, stocked bathrooms/toilet with sink and soap. Well located water spigots. Nearby trails. Dump station. Boat launch (no motorboats allowed).
No hookups. No onsite showers (can use another Golden Beach Campground showers a few miles away.) No cell or internet. Maybe wifi near entrance?
Easiest access is from Raquette Lake. From the west you will drive over 5 miles on a dirt road (slow going if towing).

TravelerShelburne Camping Area
Very nice owners...lovely campground!
We have a “big rig” 40’ 5th wheel with 4 slide outs. Called them same day from Capital Region Welcome Ctr in NY, about 3 hrs away (below Albany). They had a full hook up, pull-thru corner space for us. Offered parking for our truck right across lane on separate site. Super nice owners! Went over COVID questions and after hour check-in instructions. We came in just after it got dark. Loved town of Shelburne. Awesome little shops and great, well stocked little local grocery store. Authentic Italian restaurant in grocery store parking lot...picked up delicious strombolis. Due to COVID, mostly call ahead/pick-up or drive thru for many things...incl. delicious coffee in town at Village Wine & Coffee and AWESOME cider donuts at Shelburne Orchards! Only a 20 min drive into downtown Burlington. Took narrated tour on Ethan Allen ferry on Lake Champlain. Shopped in artsy town. Extended our stay for TWO extra nights. Will def come back. Didn’t need to use, but noted that bathrooms were immaculately clean.

ScoutWilmington Notch Campground
In the heart of the High Peaks
Wilmington Notch Campground is owned and operated by the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation. There are approximately 50 sites available, all on level campground and within access of Both bathrooms and shower facilities. Fire pits and picnic tables available. About a mile down the road from the high falls gorge tourist destination and a quarter mile from the base of whiteface lodge ski resort. There is an accessible trail from the back of the campground to an amazing waterfall on the west branch of the Ausable River and plenty of spots to trout fish/swim. A mile down the road is flume falls trails, which leads to a great swimming hole and various height choice cliff jumping. This is a very clean and quiet campground, one of the best in the high peaks region for primitive camping

Excellent Customer Service/Great Location/Loved It!
We just spent a full week at the North Pole Resorts the last week of May and through the Memorial Day Weekend. We are full-time travelers with a 40' Class A motorhome, flat tow a Jeep, have 2 kids (ages 8 & 13), and 2 English Bulldogs. We loved pulling in the week before the holiday weekend because there was hardly anyone else at the campground or in the area just yet. It does get packed over the holiday weekend, but was still very enjoyable and quiet at night. We were there right at the start of the season for them. ***Fair warning - Be sure to turn in by the North Pole Lodge Store and Mini Golf to register. We missed it and went past.*** We stayed in premium site 11 in the resort section and loved it. There was plenty of grassy room for the dogs to go out and we had a little cover over our picnic table. The kids enjoyed the arcade and playground being right there. We loved the store as it is one of the best we've seen yet & very well stocked. The location to area attractions was ideal as well. Lake Placid is maybe 20 minutes down the road and you can get groceries and have good restaurant choices too. Highly suggest the 45 minute drive to Ausable Chasm as well as the very short drive to the Adirondack Wildlife Refuge. Another favorite activity was pulling off the road to explore the hiking & fishing. Quarry Pool Pond was our fave! Would absolutely be back!
Lee D.LegendAuSable Chasm Campground
Closest campground to Ausable Chasm
We travel in a 17-foot camper van, but no one ever believes that we are no bigger than a standard cargo van and can easily fit in a regular size parking space. Upon arrival at Ausable Chasm, we were told we had to take a site with water and electric since we had a camper van. These sites were $13 more per night and we really did not need the hookups. We were finally able to convince the staff that we could take a standard tent site, which was more than big enough.
The road through the campground is dirt and rutted but the speed limit is 5 mph, so it wasn’t that bad, but it would be a mess if it was raining.
Bathrooms and shower rooms are individual rooms, but the doors are not labeled so it’s a game of “what’s behind door number 1?” There was no light in the shower room that I looked at so a night shower would be out of the question. The bathrooms were clean and had soap, paper towels, a garbage receptacle, and a mirror in each.
Lots of ant hills throughout the campground so be cautious where you set up a tent. Each site has a picnic table and a fire ring. Large and nice-looking playground, pool, volleyball net, disc golf and mountain biking/hiking trails. It also looked like there were cross country ski trails but not sure if the campground or cabins would be open in the winter.
Biggest advantage is that Ausable Chasm(a separate business) is directly across the street from the campground and it is very close to the ferry that will take you to Burlington, VT, our next destination.

Fish Creek Pond Campground
A little slice of heaven
I have stayed here many times over the years, usually for a 10-18 day stretch at a time. This is one of my favorite places. Most sites are right on the water. Square pond is a lovely little lake that connects to a larger lake (Upper Saranac I believe) by passing through a canal. This campground has great facilities. There are restrooms located convieniently throughout the park so you never have to walk more than a few sites no matter where you are. There are hot showers located at one end of the park and a dump station for RVs. The restrooms and showers are cleaned daily. There is a great little general store just outside the park that sells pretty much anything you could want. Sites are equipped with a table and fireplace (most have grates). There are vendors that drive through the park daily selling wood, ice cream (from an old fashioned wagon, get the moose tracks!), and ice. There is a boat supplier that travels the lake every morning and evening dropping off and picking up kayak and canoe rentals. If you love water front camping this is for you! The park is pet friendly but you need to show proof of vaccines. There are great things to do nearby like the Adirondack Museum, Lake Placid, and beautiful hiking spots. You can have power boats and jets skis on the lake as well as non motorized boats. Some of the best sunsets I have ever viewed happened right here. Quiet hours are taken very seriously and rangers walk the park at night warning rowdy fireside folks to quiet down. However, as dusk turns to night, you can always count on the chorus of yodels going back and forth across the lake. This is a wonderful spot! Check it out! You won’t be sorry! Oh, but sites go on sale nine months in advance through reserve America and the best spots wind up booked for the season pretty quickly.

Great spot amongst the Adirondacks
We had a full hookup, pull through site surrounded by trees. There was some road noise during the day but it was nice and quiet at night. The bathhouses looked very "rustic" but we didn't use them. Nice field, swings and small palyground for kids. Close to hiking and Lake Placid!

A camper noted, "Being a fan of gems, I definitely bought an embarrassing amount of dirt for the gem mining (Got some good finds, so worth it!)" while others mentioned train rides available at the campground.
Water recreation: Camp Whiteface Mountain sits alongside the Ausable River, creating opportunities for fishing, wading, and nature observation.

Historical sites: Brookwood RV Resort offers proximity to Fort Ticonderoga, approximately 10 miles north, where visitors can explore historical reenactments and exhibits. A reviewer mentioned: "Ft. Ticonderoga and Lake George are right around the corner," making this location suitable for history enthusiasts.

What you should know
Limited wifi access: Cell service and internet connectivity vary significantly throughout the region. A camper at Brookwood RV Resort reported: "We got crappy cell service, and the camp wifi was spotty- but hey, we were camping, right?"

Tips for camping with families
Check pool supervision: Pool safety protocols vary between facilities. Some locations may have inadequate lifeguard coverage during busy periods, so maintain personal supervision of children when using aquatic facilities regardless of posted lifeguard status.
Look for dedicated play areas: Iroquois Campground & RV Park provides family-oriented recreational options, though one visitor noted it's "Dated but nice" with "fun activities, campers friendly and welcoming." Another campground visitor cautioned that some locations are "quite more for Adults, no playgrounds or things for kids to do."

Tips from RVers
Prepare for uneven terrain: Many RV sites require significant leveling equipment. At Thornbush Acres RV Park, visitors found "Basic sites with amenities. Very roomy and spacious," but terrain varies significantly between campgrounds in the mountainous region.

Verify size restrictions: Not all campgrounds accommodate larger RVs despite marketing claims. While many advertise as "big-rig friendly," actual access roads, turning radiuses, and site dimensions vary significantly. Campgrounds like Iron City RV Park typically require advance confirmation for vehicles over 30 feet in length.
