      Battenkill Glamping Resort

      Our little cabin by the river was so peaceful!

      We stayed in the Bee cabin, right on the Battenkill River. This tiny cabin has a queen bed, a little table with two chairs, a microwave, a mini-fridge, and a Keurig coffee maker. There is a smokeless fire pit outside with two Adirondack chairs, a small cafe table on the deck, and a picnic table. The bathhouse is about a five-minute walk from the cabin, and there is a water faucet right outside the door. 

      Our favorite part was just relaxing by the river, but there is a wood-fired sauna, lawn games, a little bistro serving burgers, fries, wings, and drinks, complimentary tubes for the river, and bicycles. We had plenty of privacy, and the place was quiet (maybe 6 other guests on the property). 

      In addition to the rustic glamping cabins, there are glamping tents with full bathrooms, bigger cabins, and stargazing domes. 4 of the cabins are dog-friendly. The property doesn't allow kids under 13 due to the close proximity to the river, which has a pretty strong current.

      Sacandaga Campground — Adirondack Preserve

      Cute and clean

      Some sites have more privacy than others. Some are right on the river. There’s a good YouTube vid with walkthroughs of all the sites. Nice lil river running through the campground.

      Woodford State Park Campground

      Small reservoir clean sites

      I have stayed at several of the waterfront tent and lean-to camp sites. It’s a nice organized place but can get pretty noisy when larger groups take over the loop c spots. There’s an open grassy field near the water at that end of the campground and it doesn’t take much to make a disturbance as sound carries over the water to loop b and a. Several people ignore the no dogs on the beach rule too. Those issues aside it’s a nice accessible campground with quiet water for kayakers like me. Generally I find the flies and mosquitoes are less of a problem once the dragon flies arrive.

      Lake George RV Park

      Sad

      Had a site booked for Memorial Day weekend but had a complication to my 5th shoulder surgery in 2.5 years and had my 6th which was a 3rd attempt at rotator cuff repair in mid-May. Called to see if I could change my reservation since I cannot drive due to Dr.'s orders but no dice. Could care less and told me too late due to policy. Offered to provide doctors documentation but didn't matter. I did not ask for refund just to change the date. Rude, dismissive and unwilling to work with me. Sad that a family-oriented place is run this way. End result I am out over$600 and they are smiling. As a business owner myself I would be out of business if I treated my customers this way.

      Lake George Camping Village

      Dogs?

      We emailed twice and traveled five hours to only find out they have a list of dog breeds they don’t accept. The list has no rhyme or reason. Our 7 year old 95lb Great Dane was not allowed. Ridiculous

      Hapgood Pond NF Campground

      Great campground and location

      Our favorite campground in the area is Winhall Brook, but it has been closed for about 3 years since the flooding in VT. Hapgood Pond is a good alternative. It is a little more primitive with pit toilets in most of the campground except the bath house. We appreciate the pond for swimming and the nice easy pond loop trail for hiking. Hapgood is in close proximity to Manchester and near the Appalachian Trail.

      Somerset Vt Dispersed on the Deerfield River

      Winter camping trip

      Went to test out a new coody tent. Arrived on Saturday morning 3/28/26. Found an abandoned camper onsite. Not bad area, but can tell as soon as summer gets here, it will turn into a party camp ground. (not for me)

      Somerset Airfield

      Winter excursion

      Made the trip on a Friday evening. Set up in freezing drizzle. Not a bad weekend all things considered. Lots of snowmobile traffic, which didn’t bother me. Saturday was the best day by far. Was only one other couple that weekend. Bathrooms were open, but very basic and no water. But grateful nonetheless.

    What campers like

    Large, private sites: Moose Hillock Camping Resorts receives consistent praise for spacious campsites. "The sites at this park are huge. You could have parked three RVs in our site.

    What you should know

    Seasonal operation limitations: Most campgrounds close after Columbus Day weekend. A visitor to Lake George RV Park mentioned their stay in "May and August 2018," noting availability of "Shaded and full sun site options as well as rental units if you don't have an RV."

    Site quality varies significantly: Even within the same campground, experiences differ based on site location. "The bottom part of the campground is gorgeous...the beach area is beautiful... But keep in mind not all sites are created equal though so def scout around for next stay and make note of your favorite sites."

    Traffic noise considerations: Highway proximity creates noise at some campgrounds.

    Tips for camping with families

    Playground access: Select campgrounds with dedicated children's areas. A visitor at King Phillip's Campground shared, "Great campground for families, we stayed at a tent site right near the playground. Pool, arcade, a short trolley ride to downtown Lake George. It was a great stay and the kids loved it."

    Swimming options: Pools provide reliable water recreation regardless of weather. "We stayed in May and August 2018. Absolutely beautiful and CLEAN campground. Shaded and full sun site options as well as rental units if you don't have an RV... new waterpark and two pools, tennis courts."

    Tips from RVers

    Site leveling needs: Prepare for uneven terrain at some campgrounds. "We had a site on the river and it was beautiful... The sites are on the close side we had enough room to feel comfortable--put out our awning, set up our screened in Pop-Up tent& sit around the fire."

    RV size considerations: Many campgrounds accommodate large rigs but require careful navigation. "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)."

    Hookup locations: Setup planning requires knowing utility placement. At Lake George Escape Campground, "All sites have cable TV hookup and free WiFi at their site along with a picnic table and fire rings," though the reviewer noted when the park is full, "it can be a little cramped for big-rigs to back into some sites."
