Lake George is popular during peak season. Reserve 2-4 weeks in advance for weekends and holidays.
Most parks have check-in after 1:00 PM and check-out by 11:00 AM. Call ahead if you'll arrive late.
New York weather can change quickly. Pack layers and check the forecast for Lake George.
Don't miss local attractions near Lake George. Ask the camp host for hidden gems and trails.

It's changed hands. Nobody working the store. When you arrive you have to find your reservation paperwork that they left in the mailbox, then find your site on your own, basically self service. They have a rude little man that circles the campground in a golf cart doing nothing. It would be nice if they at least did garbage pickup. Normally I wouldn't complain but for $95.00 a night........

As an added note to the campground response, we have stayed there four different times and are extremely familiar with the layout and the previous way it operated. The store was closed during the day most of the time. It's a shame that a campground as nice as it was is now just an investment for the new owners with no desire to offer even the basic services!

We stayed here last week for 4 nights. The tent sites were great, perfect size beautiful location with the river right behind the site. The people working there were the best and friendly great service, you won't find a better place in Lake George. Bring your kayak or tubes for the river or rent theirs so much fun! The pool was so nice on the 90 degrees weather. If I could give them more than 5 ⭐... We stayed here last week for 4 nights.

What a welcoming campground this was! Everyone was so friendly and they do so many activities with their campers! The sandy beach was beautiful and I saw so many people either just floating or paddle boarding! My daughter absolutely loved the pool, it is super clean and has different depths which is perfect for kids of all ages. This place has so many cool amenities and is close to so many other p...

My daughter absolutely loved the pool, it is super clean and has different depths which is perfect for kids of all ages. This place has so many cool amenities and is close to so many other places to check out in the area! Highly recommend, this is the type of place I would bring my family to every year.

One of our favorite campgrounds. The staff members are all wonderful and very accommodating to our needs. A flood situation at our site was quickly remedied when we complained and offered a solution. It was fixed immediately and no other problems occurred after the next rainstorm. Pool was clean, restrooms near the pool were great and grounds are kept very neat and clean.

Great location, just minutes from lake George village without all the hassle. Nice pool, river to relax in. Rent kyacks or tubs or bring your own. Lots of activities. Check out local food. Tommy guns, George Henry's. Staff works hard, clean sites and showers/restrooms. Have stayed 2 weeks last year and this year. Highly recommend
