TravelerThis is a quick and easy pull off that is large enough to accommodate most vehicles. Only con which wasn’t that big of an issue was that you are close to the road, so any vehicles going by which wasn’t many you would hear. Besides that you are in dark and quiet state forest. I would recommend this to someone for a quick overnight stay rather than an extended stay.
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!
TravelerLots of beautiful spots to pick from but be careful some are a bit muddy. We brought our school bus down the dirt road just fine and backed right in. They also have fireplaces which was nice!
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.
GuideWonderful owners. A variety of sites to choose from in a relaxing setting. No waste hookups here, but they have a dump station. $51 per night with cash.
LegendWhat an amazing find! This was a perfect location for the first 2 days of our vacation. Steve and Michelle were incredibly accommodating and wonderful hosts! We truly enjoyed our stay and will definitely return!
GuideFree dispersed camping site in the Green Mountain National Forest, off a dirt road. The site curves around past the driveway so you can tuck up into the trees to be more private. The upper part there has a circular open area, surrounded by thin trees. There’s a fire ring set up midway on the site. It felt more isolated than other sites I’ve stayed at and there were quite a few animal sounds in the woods, including large animal bones left past the treeline. They seem to be left behind from people (based off of how the bones were cut). Dispersed camping so don’t expect facilities of any sort. Decent site and pretty large compared to some of the other spots. Heard Barred Owls in the distance which was awesome. Uploaded a video of the site at night and pics of the area on a map that my friend was able to pull up.
GuideWent with a friend on an impromptu last minute camping trip up in the NF and hoped we could find a spot on a Friday night. Quite a few spots were taken but there were still some free ones. We stayed at one near the creek just over a little bridge. Cute little site, nice fire pit, clean, perfect rock to put a big water jug on. The sound of running water was soothing. In the morning, adorable little red squirrels with big personalities made themselves known and there were wildflowers blooming all over with hummingbirds going about their business. This is dispersed camping so there’s no rest rooms, running water, etc. The particular site we stayed at did have another site on the other side of the creek and we could hear the family during the day and see them as they walked past, so it wasn’t as isolated as some of the other sites. It was a cute spot and I’ll def be back.
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!

Kayaking at Luzerne Campground: Located about 15 miles from Wilton, this campground offers direct lake access for paddlers. "My overall favorite place. Love being on the far side of the lake with the private beach and no motorboats allowed. Tons of bike riding options. Great little lake for kayaking and fishing," notes camper Dan H. Paddle rentals available on-site.
Winter recreation options: While most campgrounds close by mid-October, the surrounding area offers seasonal alternatives. "The park has a large number of hiking trails for every level of outdoorsman... Hiking trails become nice XC skiing trails," shares Amber A. about Moreau Lake State Park. Cross-country skiing and snowshoeing trails open when conditions permit.
White water adventures: The Adirondack region offers seasonal white water opportunities. "Great location! Small state run campground in the SE Adirondacks- plenty to do: tubing and white water rafting (spring) great hikes, horseback riding, canoe/kayaking, zip lines," according to Troy H. Day trips for tubing and rafting typically run from May to September depending on water levels.
Large, private camping sites: Site size varies significantly between campgrounds. Moose Hillock Camping Resort receives consistent praise for generously-sized sites. "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," notes camper Nancy W.
Clean facilities: Maintenance standards vary by location. "Shower rooms are clean. Love that we can rent boats too. Also, the little mom and pop store across the street is perfect for last minute needs and have the best homemade chocolate cream pie," mentions Antoinette W. about Luzerne Campground.
Family-friendly amenities: Campgrounds cater to different visitor preferences. "Campsite was a little creepy but the scenery and attractions around the area were amazing. Lake George is right down the road and it is also across from an adventure/tubing area," notes Katarina M.. Many campgrounds offer playgrounds and seasonal recreation programs.
Seasonal crowds affect experience: Tourism levels vary dramatically by season and location. "Nice state campground, very clean, nice staff. Campground and swimming area becomes very crowded, especially on holiday weekend due to proximity to I-87 and number of downstate tourists that frequent the park," writes Robert L. about Moreau Lake State Park.
Road noise concerns: Some campgrounds experience highway noise. "The only downside was the road noise, our site was adjacent to the road and you could hear the loud noise of the tractor trailers all night. We camp in a pop up, I don't know if you would hear the noise in a trailer," mentions Lauren about Ledgeview Village RV Park.
Weather preparedness: The region experiences variable conditions. "We unfortunately got hit with some pretty bad weather so we couldn't enjoy the grounds as much as we would have liked to but that was obviously not their fault. We had to evacuate the mountain our last evening because of really bad thunder and lightning," shares Christina M. about Lake George Escape Campground.
Look for dedicated family activities: Programming varies between parks. "Beyond clean facilities. Very friendly and helpful staff. Went with 3 kids under 8yrs old. They had a blast and so did we, they have family activities everyday too," notes ryan G. about Moose Hillock Camping Resort.
Consider campground layout: Site proximity to amenities affects family convenience. "The park is very large so if you want to be near the pool/entertainment area or nearby bathrooms, pick your site accordingly," advises Nancy W. about Moose Hillock. Most family-oriented campgrounds provide site maps during reservation.
Pack for variable swimming conditions: Water access varies by location. "Nice swim at your own risk beach (no guards), boat rentals, good fishing," mentions Robert L. about Luzerne Campground. Lifeguard services typically operate between Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends at larger parks.
Site leveling challenges: Terrain varies considerably between campgrounds. "Sites are decent size, but be sure to bring boards to level your trailer for some sites are quite uneven!" advises Michelle D. about Lake George RV Park. Most sites require some leveling equipment.
Site selection strategy: Research specific sites before booking when possible. "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. Roads in the park are confusing because none are parallel or perpendicular so we had to go slow just to make sure we didn't miss a turn in the RV," notes Nancy W. about Lake George Escape Campground.
Hook-up considerations: Services differ between sites. "The sewer hook-up was very weird and at an angle that was hard to secure my hose to. Instead of flowing straight down into the ground, it was at 45 degrees and took a big rock for me to secure it," explains Nancy W. about King Phillip's Campground. Most RV parks in the region offer full hookups, but specific site amenities vary.
