Mountain biking: Several trail systems connect to Whippoorwill Campsites, making it an excellent base for cyclists. "The private access to the bike path in the back is a nice addition. Overall, a great stay and couldn't have asked for more," reports Craig C. The paved bike path runs between Lake George and Glen Falls.
Swimming options: Multiple campgrounds maintain swimming areas, with varying amenities. "The pool is very nice but small. The river is the attraction at this Campground that provides hours of entertainment," explains one reviewer about Lake George Riverview Campground.
What campers like
Private, spacious sites: Moose Hillock Camping Resorts receives consistent praise for site size and privacy. "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," explains Nancy W.
Clean facilities: Campground cleanliness stands out in reviews across multiple properties. "The campground is so clean and nice! Perfect for the dogs with best dog park I ever saw. Pools and hot tubs extremely clean and the grounds looked more like a hotel resort than campground," notes Michael C. about Lake George RV Park.
Waterfront options: Sites along rivers and lakes command premium pricing but deliver enhanced experiences. "We had a site on the river and it was beautiful! The river is amazing, my kids really enjoyed fishing and floating in the river," shares a camper at Lake George Riverview Campground.
Activities for different age groups: Lake George Escape Campground provides programming for various ages. "This camp ground is very family friendly and has many different activities that are great for families as well. Whether you are sliding down the water slide, taking a dip in the pools, playing at the arcade or doing some shopping in the area you are bound to have a great time," explains Meag F.
What you should know
Highway noise considerations: Several campgrounds sit near major roadways, affecting ambient sound levels. "When we first drove up I almost turned around... The Northway was directly to the west, maybe 1000 ft through the woods, extremely loud traffic noise," reports Cat R. about Lake George Campsites.
Reservation timing: Cabin bookings require advance planning, especially for premium sites. "Had to wait till 2 weeks prior to book since we are under the 4 night minimum in season," explains Julie E. about securing accommodations at Alpine Lake RV Resort.
Amenity variations: Bathroom and shower facilities differ significantly between properties. "Both were clean but the shower fluctuated between lukewarm, hot, and warm during my shower," notes Nancy W. about Moreau Lake State Park Campground.
Site selection matters: Research specific sites before booking to ensure they meet needs. "Our site was fine and large enough to accommodate our RV and tow car but some campsites were pretty small and would not fit large RVs," cautions a reviewer about Lake George Escape Campground.
Tips for camping with families
Pool features: Swimming options vary significantly between campgrounds with some offering extensive water features. "One of the best pools in a campground that I have ever seen. Sites large and level. Cool fire pits," notes Scott N. about Moose Hillock Camping Resorts.
Recreation facilities: Look for campgrounds with organized activities during your stay dates. "We had multi-generations camping. From the great grandmother to 2 1/2 yr toddler we all enjoyed the pool. Walk in style, large, heated, slides. Loved it. Nice playground," shares Julie E.
Bike-friendly properties: Ledgeview Village RV Park provides safe cycling environments within the campground. "This is our second time at this campground. Very nice sites, peaceful. Has a playground and pool. Kids enjoyed the area," explains Lauren.
Beach access: Several locations offer beach areas for children to play. "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," reports Amber A. about Moreau Lake State Park Campground.
Tips from RVers
Site navigation: Some campgrounds present challenges for larger vehicles. "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," notes Nancy W. about maneuvering at Moreau Lake State Park Campground.
Hookup variations: Full-service sites command premium prices but offer convenience. "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," explains a reviewer at Moreau Lake.
Seasonal considerations: Off-peak camping offers value and quieter experiences. "We came a bit pre-season last year for weekend. Downside had to wait till 2 weeks prior to book since we are under the 4 night minimum in season," notes Julie E. about flexibility outside peak periods.
Site surface variations: Prepare for different ground conditions when setting up. "The angled sites and wide roads make backing in very easy," explains Nancy W. about Moose Hillock Camping Resorts, while others note challenges with "sandy lots" at some campgrounds.
