    Lake George RV Park

    The best in Northeast

    This is the best RV resort I have visited. 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. The only think missing is a large lake but you can take trolley to Lake George. You set up and will not need your car until you leave.

    Trolley through the park and to Lake George. Awesome camp store. Tennis, pickle ball, basketball. Movies, pools, splash pad, trails, fishing pond, food & ice cream. The list goes on. A must stay.

    Lake George Escape Campground

    Nice all around

    It’s been a few years since we were there last but always enjoyed going here. Facilities were always clean. Campground is pet friendly and have a small dog park. Pool was looking a bit outdated when we were last there but totally functional. We’d go back in a second.

    Moreau Lake State Park Campground

    Beautiful State Park

    The road to our campsite was paved and in good shape but there were a few tight spots because of the trees that make it tricky for a big rig (Loop A seems to be the best for big-rigs). 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. We found it enjoyable just to hang out in the park rather than trying to find things to do in the area. After hiking and paddling, we loved relaxing out at our campsite with a campfire. 

    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 which we enjoyed. Generators are allowed but not too many people were using them. The few other campers around that used them were mindful of quiet hours. Since it was still a little cool and our windows were closed and we never heard anyone’s generator. The park was not very crowded when we were there, but we can imagine it could get very busy and noisy in the busy summer season. The beach area seems to be a draw for people so the summer camping season is probably packed. The snack bar and gift/supplies shop at the sandy beach area were not open as we were there late in the season. There is also a nice playground for kids to enjoy. 

    This is dry camping so there are no hook-ups but there are restrooms and shower. Both were clean but the shower fluctuated between lukewarm, hot, and warm during my shower. Oh well, the shower felt good after our active days. There are two pavilions you can rent which are nice if big groups want to gather. Take note that only two pets are allowed per campsite, so plan accordingly if you are a pet owner. 

    Access is fairly easy, just off I-87, and there are plenty of signs directing you which way to go. Saratoga Springs and Lake George are nearby if you want to explore. We recommend visiting the National Horse Racing Hall of Fame in Saratoga Springs, if you have time. We would definitely stay here again.

    Lake George Escape Campground

    Friendly staff n guests, Clean, All around great activities.

    Campground is placed 10 minutes from the bottom of Lake George with great hiking trails in the surrounding area. The campground it’s self it’s very clean in every aspect. On a river with water activities, beach, pool, a BAR, and so many more outdoor activities. Every night there are wagon tours of the campground, staff is seen frequently but very relaxed environment. Very family and pet friendly (They have their own dog park!) This was my 5th summer going up with friends and about our 8th trip overall and every time it’s a great experience!

    Adirondack Camping Village - PERMANENTLY CLOSED

    Stayed here while attending a show at SPAC

    A great campground to stay at if you want to be a bit secluded from the city around Saratoga Springs. Drive is beautiful. Campground itself is large but everything is centrally and conveniently located. Sites are wooded and private. Rates are reasonable.

    Moreau Lake State Park Campground

    Awesome Facilities, LOTS of Downstate Tourists

    Moreau Lake has (in my opinion) superb facilities as far as state run campsites go. The beach is nice, large picnic facilities, and the campgrounds are well maintained with nice bathroom/shower buildings.The park has a large number of hiking trails for every level of outdoorsman and the staff is friendly and helpful. The main issue is the fact that due to it's 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, not itself a wholey bad thing but during the summer season I wouldnt go here expecting to have the park to yourself,.

    Moreau Lake State Park Campground

    Small quiet lake

    Nice stopover or basecamp for this area. We used to go here when my brother was living in Albany. Stop by Saratoga Springs on your way north! It’s a small park but there is a lot to enjoy on site and even more nearby. Very wooded. Hiking trails become nice XC skiing trails. Nice sandy beach with lifeguard hours. Facilities are relatively modern but still basic, nice and clean. Most sites aren’t right along the lake but it’s still so close.

    Lake George Escape Campground

    Camping July 2018

    Sites-the section we were in the sites were huge and clean, the grass needed to be cut.

    Staff was excellent! Helpful and Courteous

    If you need a baby sitter this is a place for you,

    No adult supervision . Kids riding motorized scooters, mini bikes, and driving golf carts.

    Definitely going over the 5mph posted limit.

    Dog park needed to have the grass cut.

    Bugs are horrible bring bug spray and a screenhouse.

    Don't pay xtra for water site on frog pond. That's exactly what you get a grass and frog swap.

    Boat launch clearly marked no swimming and no going to the other side. Clearly people can not read.

    If you have young children this is the place for you, many activities for children.

    Wi-Fi - If you need internet they charge you for it. Most campgrounds offer free Wi-Fi (we did pay the $15 because we needed it for work).

    Over priced if you don't have children to take advantage of the activities offered.

    Suggestion allow pet swimming at the boat launch.
