Best Campgrounds near Victory Mills, NY

Camping opportunities around Victory Mills, New York range from developed state parks to private RV resorts situated along the region's scenic lakes and waterways. Moreau Lake State Park Campground, located just minutes from Victory Mills, provides tent, RV, cabin, and glamping accommodations with lake access and hiking trails. Lake George RV Park offers a more resort-style experience with full hookups and recreational amenities. The Lake George region contains several established campgrounds with varying levels of development, from primitive tent sites to fully-equipped RV parks with amenities like swimming pools, playgrounds, and entertainment.

Many campgrounds in the area operate seasonally, typically from May through mid-October, with peak visitation occurring during summer months. Advance reservations are strongly recommended for weekend stays and holiday periods, particularly at waterfront sites which fill quickly. Campgrounds like Alpine Lake RV Resort provide lakeside access but have limited sites and can be challenging to navigate with larger rigs. The terrain varies from level, developed sites to more rustic, wooded settings with limited accessibility. Winter camping options are extremely limited, with most facilities closing after Columbus Day weekend. A visitor to Alpine Lake RV Resort 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."

Water access represents a significant draw for campers in the Victory Mills area. Several campgrounds feature shoreline access to Lake George and other smaller lakes, with swimming beaches, boat launches, and fishing opportunities. The Battenkill River provides additional camping options with sites that border this popular recreational waterway. Campers frequently mention the region's natural beauty and outdoor recreation opportunities as highlights. A reviewer of Camping on the Battenkill commented: "Site 16 had a path to the river and was slightly tucked away. Sites aren't on top of each other but you can see your neighbors." While many campgrounds provide modern amenities including showers, flush toilets, and electricity, some visitors note that privacy can be limited at more developed facilities, especially during peak season when sites fill to capacity.

    Grout Pond Campground — Green Mountain & Finger Lakes National Forests

    Grout Pond Loop

    Camping Grout Pond Loop is truly nice after Labor Day (Sept 5-7). Campsites 15 & 16 offer pull-out space to turn around truck campers --we lucked out w/ 4 wheel camper pop-up). Over hanging trees would make it difficult for larger equipment, plus saw posting that excludes trailers from certain roads. We reserved well in advance; however many fellow campers were trying to find first come sites and ended up hiking in to camp around pond sites. Sites are in eye-site of each other but you don't feel crowded. Temps during day around 65-70 F. Nights dipped to 45-55F.
    We saw deer & turkeys driving the surrounding woods after short hikes.
    We love chatting w locals and learned of a special shrine that was faithfully built from stone to resemble original in modern day Turkey. What a special & serene place.

    Statton Pond Camp on Forest Road 71

    Large Area with Fire Pit in the middle

    This was a great site.  I couldn't believe that the site was not being used at all, especially the just a couple of days before Fourth of July weekend.  Many other sites further south on 71 were filled and some were just TTs holding the space for the upcoming weekend.

    The site was very flat and could accommodate several small campers.  It was quiet during our overnight stay other than a car or two on Stratton-Arlington Rd.  There weren't many mosquitoes either.  Hiking trail to Stratton Pond close by.

    Rogers Rock Campground

    Roger's Rock

    It was a pretty good park. Wooded nicely. Big lots where we were. Down near the water the sites were pretty crammed together Not parked in a row like an RV park.

    No Wifi, Resevoir Beautiful

    Enjoyed the stunning babbling brook and resevoir- saw happy people swimming, kayaking, and camping. It's been quiet and peaceful and sometimes generators running all night. I arrived after the 4th of July and a neighbor said it was rowdy during the holiday with illegal fireworks set off every night over the dry forest. These pics are from a weekday morning. It's great to see families camping. There are pit toilets. AT.T service at bridge prior to camp- short walk. SOS only in camp. Another camper told me Starlink works here.

    George D Aiken Wilderness Dispersed

    Not terrible

    Site was littered with places previous campers had left human excrement. While not in the site directly, it was all around it. Also had someone who decided to use the area to sight in his rifle. Which was very unexpected as it was incredibly loud with no warning at all. Was not aware this was a gun range. Tried to flag down a park ranger, but he just drove on by.
