What to do
Boating on the Schroon River: Visitors staying at Lake George Riverview Campground can enjoy direct river access with kayak and canoe rentals available onsite. "The river is the attraction at this Campground that provides hours of entertainment. If you are looking for a resort campground with lots of amenities this may not be the campground for you, but if you want a clean beautiful spot on a beautiful river convenient to Bolton's Landing & Lake George Village you will love it here!" notes a camper.
Hiking nearby trails: The wooded areas surrounding Moreau Lake State Park feature over 20 miles of hiking trails ranging from easy walks to challenging terrain. A reviewer mentioned, "This is dry camping so there are no hook-ups but there are restrooms and shower. Both were clean but the shower fluctuated between lukewarm, hot, and warm during my shower." The park provides access to multiple hiking experiences within a single location.
Swimming and water activities: Many campgrounds feature pools or beach access with varying rules and seasonal availability. "The new water park with zero-entry pool" at Lake George RV Park provides family-friendly swimming options. Another camper at Moffitt Beach Campground noted, "Small swimming area, nice fishing in the middle of the lake—Speculator Lake."
What campers like
Privacy between sites: Moose Hillock Camping Resorts receives consistent praise for spacious site layout. "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," one camper shared about their experience.
Clean facilities: Well-maintained bathrooms and shower facilities rank high in camper satisfaction. A visitor at Whippoorwill Campsites reported, "The Whippoorwill Motel and Campsites is an amazing quaint place to stay while visiting Lake George and the Adirondacks! The sites are VERY Level, good sized, close, but spacious enough to have an enjoyable stay without being on top of each other."
Waterfront options: Cabins and sites with water views command premium rates but deliver memorable experiences. "We had a site on the river and it was beautiful! While 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," noted a Lake George Riverview Campground guest.
