Cabin accommodations near Schuylerville offer stays in New York's eastern Adirondack foothills, with elevations ranging from 200-400 feet above sea level. The area experiences four distinct seasons, with summer temperatures typically ranging from 70-85°F during peak cabin rental months. Most cabins in this region require reservations at least 30 days in advance during the May through October season.
What to do
Hiking on multiple trails: Moreau Lake State Park provides over 20 miles of hiking trails for every skill level. "Great thing about this park is the hiking trails and lake so you don't even have to leave 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," notes one visitor at Moreau Lake State Park Campground.
Watercraft rentals and activities: Most cabin accommodations are within 20 minutes of water-based activities. "There's a nice big lake and the Hudson River. Many campsites are near the lake. The sites are shady and close together, but still feel fairly private. We enjoyed the hiking trails and beach while camping," explains a camper.
Winter activities: Some cabins are available year-round near areas that convert to winter recreation. "Hiking trails become nice XC skiing trails. Nice sandy beach with lifeguard hours. Facilities are relatively modern but still basic, nice and clean," reports a visitor about off-season options.
What campers like
Spacious, private sites: Many cabin areas maintain natural barriers between sites. "The 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," mentions a visitor at Alpine Lake RV Resort.
Pet-friendly options: Several cabin providers welcome pets with specific guidelines. "The campground is pet friendly and have a small dog park," notes a camper at Lake George Escape Campground. Many cabin locations limit guests to two pets per site.
Recreation facilities: Cabin stays often include access to shared amenities. "There is a nice sized and landscaped swimming pool, game room, and large community fire pit to enjoy," reports a camper about site facilities at Whippoorwill Campsites.
What you should know
Site preparation needs: Some cabins require planning for uneven terrain. "If we stay in the same site again we would come better prepared. Our site was large and shaded. The drawback is where you need to park the camper is about 7 inches out of level," explains a visitor at Adventure Bound Camping Resort at Deer Run.
Seasonal considerations: Many cabin rentals have limited availability or reduced amenities during shoulder seasons. "The snack bar and gift/supplies shop at the sandy beach area were not open as we were there late in the season," reports one visitor about end-of-season conditions.
Noise factors: Several cabin locations experience varying noise levels. "The Northway was directly to the west, maybe 1000 ft through the woods, extremely loud traffic noise," notes one camper about positioning relative to highways.
Tips for camping with families
Water park access: Several campgrounds feature water amenities for children. "The new water park is great, the pools are dated but okay. Make sure you put down the deposit for the key card, if you don't you can not get in and have to walk groceries or whatever else to your site," advises a visitor at Deer Run.
Organized activities: Many cabin providers offer scheduled events for different age groups. "The kids/teens were typical kids/teens and did get a little rowdy/noisy but it wasn't anything excessive and quiet hours seemed to be well respected," notes a camper about the family atmosphere at Rustic Barn Campground.
Transportation options: Some locations offer alternatives to driving. "You can leave your car/RV at your site and take the trolley into town/to the lake to avoid parking in town. There is also a bike path you can take to town," explains a visitor about getting around with children.
Tips from RVers
Site selection strategy: RVers recommend researching site specifics before booking cabins. "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," mentions one camper at Moose Hillock Camping Resorts.
Hookup considerations: Cabin-style accommodations vary widely in utility options. "Sites are huge. Plenty of room for our RV, and small tent. Private. Can't say enough about the pool. We had multi-generations camping," explains a visitor about accommodating different camping styles.
Camp store limitations: Stock up on supplies before arrival. "There is a nice camp store with everything from t-shirts to RV supplies to food. You are allowed to bring a golf cart or rent one from the campground," advises a visitor, noting the $9 price for average-size firewood bundles.
