    Lake George Escape Campground

    Disneyworld atmosphere

    I have been coming to Lake George escape for 15 years now and I have watched it's transformation from a family run business to a corporate campground. I loved when it was smaller operational wise, It had a more rustic appeal to it , the camp store was small and just had a dated vibe about it. That being said it's become a big operation. They offer everything now , it really is like being at Disney. The daily schedual for the kids it's non-stop all day , they rent golf carts ,kayaks , pedal carts, canoes .They have cabin rentals , pool , a restaurant ,bar , dancing. It's perfect if you prefer glamping but you can also get a site off grid at the same time. You need to see there website to get a full picture of it.

    Bonnie Brae Cabins and Campsites

    Small quiet campground near a lake & Mt Greylock

    Finally ventured out for a camping trip in this curious season and was delighted to find Bonnie Brae Campground in the Berkshires. It's a compact,clean campground tucked at the end of a quiet neighborhood street, within walking distance to a lake. Many of the RV site are occupied by seasonal campers, and the sites are well-kept. Some of the sites have platforms. This side of the campground was quiet most of the time. The tent and cabin loop circle around the pool area and although you could hear more conversation and noise from this section, everyone was respectful of quiet hours. They also offer a number of cabins for rent with AC and small refrigerator, but no bathrooms. The bathrooms are small, but very clean. They wouldn't meet ADA standards, but there are no drips, stains, or dirt and they seem to check in a couple of times a day to clean up if needed. The pool is now open (delayed this year due to COVID-19) and the kids in particular enjoyed it. You can add a firewood purchase to your reservation and they'll deliver it to your site. 

    I was in site 28 with a teardrop camper. I could have used leveling blocks because it was hard to find a great spot that was level side to side. Sites 27 & 29 each seemed a little more level and 29 was larger.

    Pontoosuc Lake is a short walk away; there are boat rentals available and I saw a number of people fishing from Pontoosuc Park just above the dam. There's a rail trail nearby and Mt Greylock State Reservation offers numerous hiking opportunities 11 miles to the north.

    Lake George Escape Campground

    Glamping at its Finest!

    The tent we stayed in was gorgeous! We fit 5 of us comfortably. Linens, blankets and pillows were provided. There was a fire pit, BBQ, picnic table with umbrella, covered platform, and a partition between campsites. There were plenty or outdoor activities to do such as swimming, tubing, kayaking, sports, and bike rentals. They had a gift shop and arcade on site as well. We unfortunately got hit with some pretty bad weather so we couldn't enjoy the grounds as much as we would have liked to but that was obviously not their fault. We had to evacuate the mountain our last evening because of really bad thunder and lightening but the ranger was very helpful and came around to warn us all and encourage us to be careful. They even refunded us for that last night. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a real "glamping" experience! You always see those fancy campsites on Pinterest or Instagram so now you can experience it yourself close to home if you live in NY.

    We made the most of our rainy weekend by checking out the town and some caves. Plenty to do in the area of you want to venture out of the campgrounds but if you're there with good weather I doubt you will be bored!!

    Privacy Campground

    Private but needs updates

    I thought I read someplace that there is new ownership, at any rate the folks there were very nice. And the place lives up to its name. We’re not fond of RV parking lots and the sites were well spaced which gets it many extra points. We had a popup in a drive-through site at the bottom of the hill which was fine, though pretty muddy after a day of rain. With that hill there’s no place for larger RVs here unless they were to decide to use the field at the bottom. As far as infrastructure a lot of what is here is very old and dated, sometimes to the point of being comical, but it does appear some updates are happening. Bathroom building is decent and kept very clean (though it would be nice if any of the door latches on the women’s toilets worked.) It appears they have built or rebuilt some cabins. Hiking up and down the hill to the bathroom does get old and there is really no place to park there like most places have without blocking the road. Can squeeze in one car near the (ancient and yucky cold water) dishwashing station. There is a tiny campsite with cabin on the road below it, with a firepit and table like a foot away from the road. Maybe they should eliminate that site to make parking for a couple cars at least, as its a terrible campsite probably the only bad one there. (One night that site had 2 cars, with one blocking the road when we tried to drive past - they should have made the extra car stay down in the lot.) People moved their car a bit, but still had to drive very close to their bonfire. Like much of the area, there is essentially no cell coverage here. An area with wifi would be an excellent upgrade. I know, you’re camping, but sometimes you just need to do something, make a restaurant reservation, or check the weather.

    Update- I just found and read an article about the change of ownership. Showed a picture of a recreation room. Where the heck was that? In the building labeled “the Barn?” Which I thought was an actual barn and off limits. The dyrt says there is wifi, maybe it was there? Would have been nice to know about.

    Woodford State Park Campground

    Beautiful for fall foliage

    This campground was great. Quiet, great fire pits, clean bathrooms, firewood and starter for sale plus access to day use area. The lake next to the campground is beautiful and has plenty of picnic tables and grills for use. Close to hiking trails and the city of Bennington.

    Frosty Acres Campground

    Best kept secret. Tucked away

    Awesome camping resort. Seasonal rates are excellent. We stayed from April until October then decided to stay over winter. They have a small winter section. You'll have the entire mountain side all to yourself! Snowshoe, cross country ski. Winter campfires. Owners Mike and Sherri are great. Dumpsters, laundry with coin machine. Very remote. Windy as all get out. Elevation about 1409 feet. View of the sunrise over the entire valley are awesome. Very very cool place. Some summer residents are a bit into their music, mostly on weekends. Bring your golf cart and beer cooler 🙄. Cov... I'm not saying that word, reduced activities here but it was still awesome. Two ponds to fish in, one you can swim in, kid friendly small pool, horseshoes and huge field to hit golf balls in with 3 holes. Pet friendly. Kid friendly. Huge club house and store that was closed for the big. Arcade, grill, pool table and small store. Lp gas. Wifi is so so. Backed up to state forest land. Enjoy!!!

    Dorset RV Park

    It was ok

    We travelled as a group with family (4 sites). When we booked all our sites were right next to each other. When we arrived not a single one of us were even on the same road. The biggest issue with this, is that there were plenty of sites available next to each other. My parents paid for 50 amp electric and the site next to them was using it instead of the 30amp they were meant to have. Also, while the campground is pet friendly, a warning about free roaming chickens would have been nice. I would not have brought my (prey driven) dogs if I had known there were free roaming chickens.

    Rustic Barn Campground

    Quiet and Peaceful

    Amazing place off the beaten path but still an easy drive to SPAC. We had a nice secluded site for our van. Off grid but with good sun for solar. Matt, the host, is so nice and made sure we had everything we needed. There’s a very clean porto potty by the tent area and great hot showers with good water pressure up the hill which was a real treat. I’ll take this over a crowded corporate place 100% of the time.


Guide to Shushan

Cabin rentals near Shushan, New York provide access to the southern Adirondack foothills at elevations ranging from 400 to 900 feet above sea level. The area's climate features four distinct seasons with summer temperatures averaging 75-85°F during peak cabin rental season from June through August. Most cabin facilities remain open until mid-October when autumn temperatures drop to 40-50°F, making fall camping a popular but cooler option.

What to do

Water activities on the Battenkill River: The Battenkill River runs directly through the Shushan area, providing excellent fishing and paddling opportunities. At Battenkill Vacation Rental, cabins are positioned along the river for direct water access.

Nearby hiking trails: The region offers connections to multiple trail systems including portions of the Appalachian Trail. "Great place to camp and access nearby hiking including the AT and LT. Clean lodge (hostel) for hikers; access to a kitchen and showers as well," notes one visitor at Woodford State Park Campground.

Winter activities: Some cabin locations remain operational during winter months for those seeking cold-weather recreation. The area receives approximately 65 inches of annual snowfall, making it suitable for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. "Hiking trails become nice XC skiing trails" mentions a visitor to Moreau Lake State Park.

What campers like

Privacy between sites: Many cabin rentals in the region offer secluded settings with natural buffers. At Moose Hillock Camping Resorts, "the sites at this park are huge. You could have parked three RVs in our site. Added bonus is that there is nice separation between sites with trees and shrubs that block out your neighbors and provide lots of privacy."

Clean facilities: Bathroom and shower facilities at most cabin locations receive positive reviews for cleanliness. "The bathrooms were the cleanest campground bathrooms I've ever seen!" notes one camper about Woodford State Park.

Scenic water views: Many cabin locations feature views of rivers, lakes or ponds. "The waterfront campsites are very scenic," mentions one camper at Woodford State Park. Another visitor to Slateville Secluded Campsites reports, "We had an amazing stay at The Hops sight. Gorgeous sunset views!"

What you should know

Reservation requirements: Most cabin rentals near Shushan require advance bookings, especially during summer months. Woodford State Park Campground has "a few (hard to get) cabins" that should be reserved well in advance.

Shower facilities: Shower amenities vary significantly between locations. At Adventure Bound Camping Resort at Deer Run, "the public bathrooms were very clean but the toilets didn't flush very well in the 2 different bathrooms we went to." Many parks charge additional fees for shower use.

Site leveling concerns: Some cabin and RV sites require leveling equipment. At Adventure Bound, one visitor noted their "site was large and shaded. The drawback 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."

Seasonal operation: Most cabin facilities operate from May through October. Woodford State Park is specifically open "Memorial Day weekend to Columbus Day weekend."

Tips for camping with families

Child-friendly environments: Several cabin locations near Shushan cater specifically to families with children. "Perfect for families! There are tons of different types of campsites with either tent spots, lean-tos, and a few cabins," notes one visitor about Woodford State Park. Another camper adds, "If you have kids and don't mind them making friends and roaming the campground then this is great!"

Water attractions for children: Swimming areas and water features are popular with families staying at cabins in the region. Ledgeview Village RV Park has "a playground and pool. Kids enjoyed the area." At Adventure Bound Camping Resort at Deer Run, "the kids loved the water attractions."

Noise considerations: Family-oriented campgrounds can be lively. "If you're looking for a quiet spot maybe don't look here," advises one camper about Woodford State Park. Another visitor confirmed: "As other reviews have mentioned there were a ton of happy noisy kids around."

Tips from RVers

Site selection for cabin alternatives: RVers seeking alternatives to cabins near Shushan should consider site positioning. At Moose Hillock Camping Resorts, "the angled sites and wide roads make backing in very easy" for those bringing their own accommodations.

Utility hookups: RV sites with cabins nearby offer varying levels of utilities. Moose Hillock provides "a cable hook-up at each site. I was able to use my roof-mounted satellite dish and get reception but that would not be true for all sites." For those seeking full service alternatives to cabins, Lake George RV Park features "every site had full hookups. Nice for not having to empty grey tanks into wagon!"

Road access: The road network around Shushan provides generally good access for RVs, though some locations have limitations. "The roads and campsites are gravel and a little tight to get around because of all the trees but we were able to manage in our 45' motorhome" notes one visitor about Dorset RV Park.
