SUMMARY PRESENTED BY
The Cuttingsville area has limited dedicated equestrian camping options based on current data. None of the campgrounds in the immediate vicinity feature horse corrals or specialized equestrian facilities. NV Farms Outfitters and Cabins in Vermont represents the closest horse-friendly accommodation, though it lacks specific equestrian infrastructure. The campground allows pets and provides tent camping, cabin rentals, and glamping options with access to drinking water, firewood, and primitive toilet facilities. Most campsites require walk-in or hike-in access rather than direct vehicle or trailer access, which presents challenges for horse transport.
Equestrians seeking camping options with their horses may need to venture further from Cuttingsville. The reviewed campgrounds primarily cater to general outdoor enthusiasts rather than specifically to horse owners. Branbury State Park Campground offers spacious campsites and extensive hiking trails but does not advertise horse-specific amenities. Moreau Lake State Park Campground, located in nearby New York, features over 20 miles of hiking trails that might accommodate horses on certain sections, though this isn't explicitly stated in the available information. Horse owners planning camping trips in this region should contact campgrounds directly to inquire about equestrian policies, trailer parking availability, and access to suitable riding trails before making reservations.

South of the ADKs
This campground is close to the highway between Albany and the Adirondacks. There’s a nice big lake and the Hudson RIver. Many campsites are near the lake. The sites are shady and close together, but still feel fairly private. We enjoyed the hiking trails and beach while camping, then went further north for the full ADK experience.

Good central location to visit the ADK
Although the campground was right off the road, it's still in a forest with big pine trees and mossy boulders. It was easy to access from 87. Given the proximity to the road, there is road noise, so that doesn't allow for that super outdoorsy experience you might desire. At night though it would get very dark and quiet - there weren't a lot of campers there during our stay. The camphost lives in a home onsite and was mostly helpful. Be sure to mention the 5 nights for 4 deal on their website upfront, otherwise she won't reimburse. Upon working with her to extend our stay, she said people were scheduled to come into our spot. We moved and no one arrived, so that was a bit annoying.
To get to the sites, we had to take it a bit slow because there are some low hanging trees and a turn, but made it fine. Our first site, 22, was a back-in, 30 amp, full hook-up. It was a long site with plenty of room for our RV and SUV. We had to back it up to the very end to find the flattest option to level. With the way they have their sites set up, you need a 50 ft hose for water. This site was close to the showerhouse but next to a longterm trailer with crap everywhere and we weren't super thrilled that was our view from our windows in our living area. Our second site, 50, was also a back-in, 30 amp, full hookup. It was very pretty but hard to level. The site slopes up, so the backend was high. We tried about every way to sit our rig in there to level, but we ended up driving our front tires up on some leveling blocks and went up with the jacks as much as we safely could. We didn't get a perfect level, but we decided it was ok since we only had 2 days left. We had to wiggle our SUV in kind of sideways, but it worked.
There were some "residents" there in tents, which was interesting and a couple longterm trailers (with the typical cluttered lots you see at campgrounds that offer longterm stays). The campground is clean and the shower houses were faithfully cleaned everyday around 11a. Showerhouses were dated, but had super hot water for showers.
A few miles further down the road is the town of Lake Luzerne. We visited their small grocery which had the basics and we ate at one of the restaurants which had a view of the water (Upriver Cafe). The campground was in a perfect location to visit Lake George and surrounding area (Six Flags, outlet shops, putt-putt, restaurants etc). If you're wanting to explore even more you're only 1.5 hrs to Lake Placid and the Green Mountain National Forest.
Work was difficult with my husband dependent on AT&T. The Weboost got Verizon working fine, but AT&T was spotty. We had some issues with our RV that we were trying to get fixed locally which extended our stay, otherwise we would have left earlier due to this. The camphost told us that they had invested in some sort of mini Verizon tower for their personal use, so that was what was helping the Verizon signal. The campground offers wifi at the office/pool/rec room area, but when the "residents" come down, it brings it to a snails pace. My husband would go down there in the morning to work and had to go to Starbucks in Lake George at times when all the kids at camp decided to be on their devices at the same time.
Pool is not heated, so not many people were using it. They charge $2 per garbage bag to be put in their dumpster. They sell a few necessities in their office and firewood. They have laundry with 1 working residential washer $1 and 1 residential dryer $.75 and 1 industrial sized dryer $1. We did a couple loads with no issue. They are outside in a patio area.
Bring the bug spray. The mosquitos were as big as birds and tenacious!

Beautiful State Park
The road to our campsite was paved and in good shape but there were a few tight spots because of the trees that make it tricky for a big rig (Loop A seems to be the best for big-rigs). Great thing about this park is the hiking trails and lake so you don’t even have to leave to the park to enjoy great outdoor recreation. We found it enjoyable just to hang out in the park rather than trying to find things to do in the area. After hiking and paddling, we loved relaxing out at our campsite with a campfire.
Our campsite was spacious but required some maneuvering to avoid scraping trees with our RV. Campsites are spacious, shady, and had good separation between the neighboring sites which we enjoyed. Generators are allowed but not too many people were using them. The few other campers around that used them were mindful of quiet hours. Since it was still a little cool and our windows were closed and we never heard anyone’s generator. The park was not very crowded when we were there, but we can imagine it could get very busy and noisy in the busy summer season. The beach area seems to be a draw for people so the summer camping season is probably packed. The snack bar and gift/supplies shop at the sandy beach area were not open as we were there late in the season. There is also a nice playground for kids to enjoy.
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. Oh well, the shower felt good after our active days. There are two pavilions you can rent which are nice if big groups want to gather. Take note that only two pets are allowed per campsite, so plan accordingly if you are a pet owner.
Access is fairly easy, just off I-87, and there are plenty of signs directing you which way to go. Saratoga Springs and Lake George are nearby if you want to explore. We recommend visiting the National Horse Racing Hall of Fame in Saratoga Springs, if you have time. We would definitely stay here again.

Awesome Facilities, LOTS of Downstate Tourists
Moreau Lake has (in my opinion) superb facilities as far as state run campsites go. The beach is nice, large picnic facilities, and the campgrounds are well maintained with nice bathroom/shower buildings.The park has a large number of hiking trails for every level of outdoorsman and the staff is friendly and helpful. The main issue is the fact that due to it's proximity to I-87 and being conveniently located 20 minutes from both Lake George and Saratoga Springs the park draws large crowds of downstate tourists, not itself a wholey bad thing but during the summer season I wouldnt go here expecting to have the park to yourself,.

Luzerne Campground
Best family campground
we have been going to this campground for almost 15 years and my husband went here a a kid with his family. We always get the same site, for 15 years. My daughter loves it here. We get our site close to the lake so we can walk down and swim and my husband fishes. The showers are so nice and private and 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. Very close to great escape. Hiking available too.

Luzerne Campground
My favorite place
My overall favorite place. Lover 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. Minutes away from Lake George village. Great little diners and shops in town of Hadley/Luzerne also.

Great weekend getaway
My partner and I stayed at Moreau Lake State Park and were not disappointed. Tons of camping trails at varying distances, clean bathrooms with showers, well maintained sites, and a nice selection of activities. About a 20 minute drive from the southern tip of Lake George if you wanted to go off site. Will definitely be back!

Guide to Cuttingsville
Equestrian camping near Cuttingsville, Vermont often requires advance planning due to limited dedicated facilities. This region in Rutland County sits in the Green Mountain foothills at approximately 900 feet elevation. Winter temperatures regularly drop below freezing while summer camping season typically runs from late May through early October with nighttime temperatures that can still require warm sleeping gear.
What to do
Trail riding access: Lake Luzerne Campground in neighboring New York is one of the few facilities with equestrian amenities. According to camper Brittnay B., "The only campground in all of New York that acquires to house back riders. There are campsites that also come with stalls for your horse!"
Swimming options: Many campgrounds offer water recreation as an alternative activity. At Branbury State Park Campground, camper Nicole E. notes, "Across the street from the campground was access to the lake with plenty of grassy areas to hang out. A five minute hike- though it is quite a rocky, boulder-y hike- from the sites leads to a small river and swimming hole."
Winter activities: Several area campgrounds transform during winter months. At Branbury State Park, Lisa S. reports, "The hiking trails nearby are very nice," while another reviewer mentions these "become nice XC skiing trails" in winter months, offering year-round recreational options.
What campers like
Spacious sites: Reviewers consistently mention site spacing as a key advantage. At Moreau Lake State Park Campground, Nancy W. reports, "Campsites are spacious, shady, and had good separation between the neighboring sites which we enjoyed."
Seasonal variation: Fall visits offer distinct advantages. Ryan simply states about Branbury State Park, "Fall in New England can't be beat," highlighting the foliage season as an optimal time for non-equestrian camping trips.
Clean facilities: Maintenance stands out at several campgrounds. At Tippicanoe Campground, David G. observed, "Everything is immaculate from the bathrooms, shower, clubhouse, store and grounds so you can relax and know that the kids are safe and you will be stress-free for your stay."
What you should know
Bear awareness: Wildlife precautions are essential when horseback camping near Cuttingsville. At Luzerne Campground, multiple reviews mention wildlife encounters. Nicole E. warns about Branbury: "Just make sure you put your food and trash away- there are black bears in the area!"
Seasonal timing: Campground operations follow strict seasonal calendars. Moreau Lake State Park operates "May 6 to October 13" while Luzerne Campground runs "May 19 to September 10," with services reduced during shoulder seasons.
Site numbering changes: Some campgrounds have reorganized their layout. At Branbury State Park, Stephen T. cautions, "They changed the site numbers years back and we thought we booked the best site next to the River from past experiences but it was the one next to the bathrooms after they changed the site numbers without a warning."
Tips for camping with families
Educational opportunities: Several campgrounds offer structured learning. J L. notes about Branbury State Park Campground, "Theres a nature center with all kinds of information and activities. A large playground. Volleyball and horseshoe pits."
Kid-friendly terrain: Rocky features provide natural play areas. Desiree V. shares, "We stayed in a wooded area surrounded by large rocks my daughter could climb on. The beach was nearby and included in the stay with horseshoes and a playground."
Family traditions: Many families make annual returns with horses. At NV Farms Outfitters and Cabins, camping options include tent sites, cabins and glamping accommodations that can work for multi-generational equestrian trips.
Tips from RVers
Maneuverability challenges: Tree coverage creates navigation issues. At Moreau Lake State Park, Nancy W. advises, "The road to our campsite was paved and in good shape but there were a few tight spots because of the trees that make it tricky for a big rig (Loop A seems to be the best for big-rigs)."
Hookup availability: Most campgrounds near Cuttingsville offer limited services. Trip Over Life notes about Branbury State Park, "No hookups are available but there is a dump station and a bathroom facility with paid showers," important information for RVers planning horse-camping trips.
Generator restrictions: Noise policies vary by campground. Nancy W. observes at Moreau Lake, "Generators are allowed but not too many people were using them. The few other campers around that used them were mindful of quiet hours."
