Whippoorwill Campsites

7 ReviewsAdd Review
SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Biking into the village of Lake George rather than sitting in summer traffic is one of the more practical draws at Whippoorwill Campsites. A paved multi-use path runs along the back of the property, connecting the campground to both Lake George to the north and the outlet mall area to the south. A trolley stop out front provides another way in and out of town without moving the car. The campground runs from May through October and sits about two miles south of the lake.

Sites here are level and well-maintained, with fewer than 50 total. Full hookups are available at a limited number of sites, while most have water and electric. RVs up to 45 feet can be accommodated, and a dump station is on-site for campers who don't need a sewer connection. Reviewers consistently describe the staff as attentive and the grounds as clean. One note worth flagging: sites near the road pick up noticeable traffic noise, so campers sensitive to that may want to request a site toward the back of the property near the bike path.

paul sums it up as "clean, well kept, close to everything," which tracks with what several other reviewers note about the location's convenience for exploring the broader Lake George area. The pool, arcade, playground, and community fire pit round out the on-site options, and individual fire pits at each site are included. Pets are welcome. Campers wanting a larger RV resort setup nearby can look at Lake George RV Park as an alternative, or browse campgrounds near Lake George for a wider range of options across the region.

Many campers appreciated the level sites, quality amenities like the heated pool and bike path access, plus friendly family-run management. Most found it quiet though one noted road noise from certain sites.

Great location for access to Lake George village and the outlets

Great campground if you want to shop at the outlets to the south or hang out in the village of Lake George to the north.  There is a huge bike path that leads to the village and the outlets.  Our campsite was close to the road with quite a bit of noise from the traffic but the campers were friendly and the staff was very attentive.

Family-friendly

There are a lot of amenities that come with staying here. There is a fire pits at every campsite along with a large community fire pit to socialize with and meet other campers. Its a great way to let the kids find someone to play with while being supervised. You can leave your car/RV at your site and take the trolley into town/to the lake to avoid parking in town. There is also a bike path you can take to town. The pool is heated by solar panels so it is refreshing without being cold. It is safe to let kids ride their bikes around the campground, go to the arcade, pool, or playground because nothing is too far away. It is a cozy campground.

Excellent Experience

Beautiful campground, good size RV spaces, and very friendly staff. If you opt for a site without sewer, they have a dump station that you can use on the way out which is what we did. The trolley will pick you up out front to go into town. The private access to the bike path in the back is a nice addition. Overall, a great stay and couldn't have asked for more. We'll be back.

Clean and Friendly

The Whippoorwill Motel and Campsites is an amazing quaint place to stay while visiting Lake George and the Adirondacks! We stayed here two nights at the beginning of August(2019) and couldn't have had a better experience. The new owners took over just two months prior, so they are busy doing upgrades to the camp office and store and around the campground. The upgrades being made did not impact the quality of camp sites or other facilities. 

Additionally, the personal attention provided by Will and his father made us feel like regulars. Will's father greeted me by name every time he saw me and would stop what he was doing to chat. We stayed at one of the full hookup sites during this visit.

There are less than 50 total sites in the campground and only a hand-full had full hookups. Most did have water and electric. The sites are VERY Level, good sized, close, but spacious enough to have an enjoyable stay without being on top of each other. The cottages and motel looked nice from the outside. There is a nice sized and landscaped swimming pool, game room, and large community fire pit to enjoy. The location of the campground is ideal. Only two miles south of Lake George and a few miles north of the Outlet Mall. Another amenity is the paved bike path that goes along the back of the campground and runs between Lake George and Glen Falls. This was a great amenity and can help avoid all the traffic at Lake George by riding bikes into town. Overall this was a great place to stay to explore the area. Being smaller in size meant less traffic and noise, but didn't mean less enjoyment. The campground and buildings were well maintained and conveyed a welcoming atmosphere. The one area where Whippoorwill is lacking is the camp store/office, but this is the area they are currently updating so I expect great things in the future. We look forward to returning in the future.
