Smack Dab in the middle of it all

If you want a place that is close to everything that Lake George has to offer, this is the place. You can easily walk within 5 minutes to the town or lake. The price of your site also gets you into Million Dollar Beach for free. Being this close also brings you noise, overcrowded and close sites, light pollution. If you want to be close to the action, this is your place. You have been warned.

Can’t beat the price

If you like camping without a lot of extras, this is a good choice. We stayed here for the ADK Balloon Festival in September twice. Pros: cost and close to town. Cons: small sites (my pic is of 2 sites together), loud! We had people party all night both times we were there. Also a truck pulled in late and just parked next to our tent site and left by 5 am so it was used as a rest stop and they were loud. The cannon from the fort and the music from the MinneHaHa also added to the ambiance. We won’t be going back as it doesn’t have electric at the sites but if you are a bare bones camper and don’t mind loud neighbors, it may work for you.

Great place for city tourists to "camp"

Campground facilities are ok but the campground is located in the village of Lake George. The sites are in close proximity and many sit exposed to passing traffic on Roue 9. The campground's only positive quality is the proximity to downtown activities and night life of Lake George.
