2 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Multiple RV parks dot the countryside around Sprakers, New York, offering varying levels of amenities for motorhome travelers. Arrowhead Marina & RV Park provides full hookup sites with 50-amp service, water, and sewer connections along the Mohawk River, open from May through mid-October. Pine Lake Campground offers electric sites without sewer hookups in a more rustic setting near Caroga Lake. Alpine Lake RV Resort features spacious sites with full hookups, including 50-amp service for larger motorhomes, though some waterfront sites can be challenging to access with bigger rigs. Several parks accommodate big rigs, with Glimmerglass State Park Campground providing both 30-amp and 50-amp electric service options. A camper noted, "The roads are narrow and many should be one way, but are not. It would have been impossible many places in the grounds to pass a rig on the road due to the amount of other's vehicles."
Adirondack foothills create challenging terrain for some RV parks in the region, with elevation changes and winding access roads requiring careful navigation. Most campgrounds maintain gravel interior roads with a mix of gravel and grass sites, though periods of heavy rain can affect ground stability. Dump stations are available at several facilities including Glimmerglass State Park and Spruce Creek Campground, while some parks like Arrowhead Marina offer full sewer hookups at individual sites. Cell service varies significantly throughout the area, with stronger signals near larger towns like Cooperstown and spotty coverage in more remote locations. Seasonal operation is common, with most parks closing by mid-October. One visitor commented that their site "had a steep drop off to the lake, not all are like this, but be cautious about this if you have young kids." Pet policies generally allow dogs with standard leash requirements, though designated pet areas are limited.
"I stayed at Alpine Lake RV Resort for three nights and had an absolutely fantastic experience."
"Great park near Lake George. Very spacious with many different activities to do! They have movies, dances and even some kayaking, padding, ect."
"Our site was back-in and had plenty of space. There's a lot of green space in this campground and it's right on the river. We were next to a little fenced in area for dogs that our dog loved."
"Well maintained, located on the Mohawk River. Shady, grassy areas. Boat launch and pier. Friendly people. A perfect campground."
"If you're looking for peace and quite it's a nice place. Big rigs have to be in the open areas, so you won't get a wooded site. Nice playground for kids. Little store with alot inside."
"The property is huge and surrounded by the beautiful creek, which is more like a river."
from $25 - $70 / night
"This campground has a variety of offering including tent sites and RV, great swimming locations at many of the sites and there is a public beach with life-guards on duty a stones throw away!"
"Mostly seasonal camps- Trailers. Better for trailers, not tents. Activities offered in recreation hall. Small store at front desk. No lake but has a swimming pool"
from $50 - $60 / night
"The land they share has a pond that is very secluded. We used his power source so we were near his home and site was level for the travel trailer. Slept great each night!!"
"If you are looking for a quiet and private out of the way site... this is it.
- Primitive dispersed camping is what you get, and EXACTLY what we wanted."

TravelerCamp is pretty close together but most spots have a thick tree line between them which is nice. You still get a bit of road noise off the bridge and surrounding areas but it’s not to bad and the views at the boat launch on the Hudson are gorgeous
TravelerSpaces were easy in/out. Mature trees between sites. Pool, office, pickleball, k9kamp, bathrooms were all nice.
GuideThe park looks fantastic! Well maintained camp sites and beautiful river sceneries from the boat launch area!
Bathhouse is one of the best I have seen!
Check in was smooth. Everyone was courteous!
LegendMostly peaceful campground with nice spots, most of which offer some privacy. If you are bothered by trains, note that you will hear them in the background quite frequently from the railroad bridge that passes over the Hudson River. It's not loud by any means, but you can hear them.
The state park staff and the camp hosts were all very friendly, and it has some of the cleanest bathrooms I've ever seen in a state park.
Site 20 is a pull through site and it's huge, and while it is next to the shower building, it's far enough away that it really isn't a problem. Also, the field between you and the shower building is a fantastic spot to set up a Starlink dish.
ScoutAlways have a good time, staff is always friendly. Ive been coming here since i was a kid my grandparents always had a seasonal here.
ScoutThis is a very pleasant campground just a couple of miles off the interstate. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Full hookups at most sites. Many amenities available. A very quiet setting to rest and repose. Highly recommended!
GuideGot a super site almost level with the water. Went for a swim. Oddly, the lake has no plant life, but a sand bottom. Lots of ducks. Many people enjoying the shallow warm water on kayaks and such. Most sites level. The bathrooms did not offer hot water, or any way to dry your hands .They were clean, and enough to go around. The showers on the other hand were quite distant. A 5 minute walk . But clean, and plentiful. I guess better that than dirty and close by? No hiking trails is a letdown, but here its all about the lake.
TravelerThis campground will not respond to phone calls, email or facebook. It appears no one in charge
ScoutThe RV camp site was spread further apart from the other sites. It felt like you were in a secluded spot all by yourself. The camp staff were very helpful, campfire wood was a phone away and promptly delivered to your site. Nice variety of merchandise for sale. I love a souvenir from the places I visit. Although, it rained 2 of the days, it allowed some quiet time away.
