Camping cabins near Round Lake, New York span across diverse terrain at elevations between 300-1400 feet above sea level. The region experiences four distinct seasons with warm summers reaching 80°F and cold winters dropping well below freezing. Most rental cabins in the area are positioned within walking distance of water features including lakes, ponds, and the Hudson River, with many providing direct water access for recreational activities.
What to do
Swimming and water activities: The area offers multiple options for water recreation beyond just Lake George. At Moreau Lake State Park Campground, visitors find a "nice sandy beach with lifeguard hours" and boat rentals for exploring the lake, according to Amber A., who adds it's "a small park but there is a lot to enjoy on site and even more nearby."
Hiking trails: Many cabin sites provide direct access to extensive trail networks. "Over 20 miles in hiking trails, this is one of the nicest parks I've visited," notes Michi P. about Moreau Lake State Park. Harry H. mentions that at Moreau Lake "we enjoyed the hiking trails and beach while camping, then went further north for the full ADK experience."
Winter activities: While most cabin rentals operate seasonally, the region transforms in winter for those staying in year-round accommodations. At Frosty Acres Campground, winter cabin rentals offer unique opportunities as James S. describes: "You'll have the entire mountain side all to yourself! Snowshoe, cross country ski. Winter campfires."
What campers like
Privacy between sites: One consistent benefit mentioned in reviews is the spacing between cabins. At Moose Hillock Camping Resorts, Nancy W. notes "there is nice separation between sites with trees and shrubs that block out your neighbors and provide lots of privacy." Jessica D. adds that the "campsites are nice and secluded but extremely spacious which is a very rare combination."
Clean facilities: Cabin campers frequently mention cleanliness as a top priority. At Lake George RV Park, Michael C. observed "the campground is so clean and nice" and noted that "pools and hot tubs extremely clean and the grounds looked more like a hotel resort than campground." The park received consistent praise from reviewers, with Christine L. stating it's the "best campground we've stayed at" with well-maintained grounds.
Recreational amenities: The variety of on-site activities enhances cabin stays. Carrie M. shared that Lake George RV Park offers "so much to do right in the park with clean sites, friendly staff, awesome amenities and even a trolly to get around this huge park or get down town to Lake George." April L. specifically mentioned their "2 acre dog park with shaded seating for humans, bathrooms and a dog wash station."
What you should know
Seasonal limitations: Most cabin rentals in the area operate with specific seasonal dates. Woodford State Park's operating season runs "Memorial Day weekend to Columbus Day weekend," while Moose Hillock Camping Resorts operates "May 13 to Oct 13." This limits winter cabin availability to year-round facilities.
Weekend crowds: Several reviewers note increased weekend activity, especially during summer months. At Woodford State Park Campground, one visitor observed "long waits in the morning- two shower stalls and lots of teenagers," adding that "this whole region appears to depend on MA and NY tourism."
Booking requirements: Availability for cabins becomes extremely limited 3-4 months ahead of peak season. Julie E. from Moose Hillock notes they "had to wait till 2 weeks prior to book since we are under the 4 night minimum in season," indicating some properties maintain minimum-stay requirements during summer.
Tips for camping with families
Water attractions: Facilities with dedicated water features rank highly with families. At Alpine Lake RV Resort, a reviewer recommends "bring your boats and SUP boards for lots of fun" and notes the "waterfront sites worth the dollars!" Deb V. adds it's "peaceful for such a large campground" despite having many family-friendly amenities.
Planned activities: Campgrounds with organized events enhance family visits. At Lake George RV Park, Michael C. describes "free shows every night at the playhouse kids loved. Animal shows kept daytime events going strong."
Site selection strategies: For families needing more space, Moose Hillock offers notably larger sites. Jessica D. shared that the "sites are massive" which allows families to spread out. Scott N. added that they have "large and level" sites with "cool fire pits" that appeal to families.
Tips from RVers
Road navigation: Some campgrounds present challenges for larger rigs. At Lake George Escape, a reviewer noted "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."
Leveling challenges: Site terrain varies significantly between properties. At Adventure Bound Camping Resort at Deer Run, Lauren mentioned "our site was large and shaded. The draw back is where you need to park the camper is about 7 inches out of level. If we stay in the same site again we would come better prepared."
Full hookups: Several properties offer complete services. Nancy W. at Moreau Lake State Park observed that "this is dry camping so there are no hook-ups but there are restrooms and shower," in contrast to other properties in the area with full hookup capabilities like Moose Hillock where "each site is mostly level and seems private with having greenery around each site."
