Mohican Island is in the Glen Island Group, toward the bottom of the Tongue Mountain Range... which to many means rattlesnakes. But we checked with the ranger station (as we were concerned about staying here), and they said it's really not that big of a problem. As it turns out there have never been any reports of rattlesnake bites for campers in the area. There have been a few sightings, but the rangers remove the rattlers immediately to ensure the safety of nearby campers. What a relief!

When we explored Mohican Island, we scoped out the various sites and snapped some photos to help you plan your island camping trip. There are 9 campsites on Mohican Island on Lake George. On the east side, there are campsites 8, 2, 7 and 3 - these face Turtle Island (so you are looking at another island).  It’s pretty and has evening sun. See below for more information on these and other Mohican Island campsites.

If you are planning a camping trip with your family, I would choose campsite 8 . It has a shallow entry, which makes it accessible for children. If you are planning to have a group of friends camping together the ideal combo would campsites 4, 5 and 9. This would offer enough space for all, but still close enough to be in view.

Campsite 5 is by the nicest site as it’s the “point”. The point is a little more private, has both morning and evening sun and breezes from east and west. Great sunny site, shore dock (the kind you dock parallel to). This site shares a cove with campsite 4 (view cove).

Campsite 7 has a long dock that shares with campsite 2.  Though it is a nice distance from 2.  This makes a nice site for a couple who wants a little more privacy.  The open area has great views from the platform and the dock has the nicest breeze.

Campsite 9 faces the point of campsite 4. They are VERY close together. My recommendation would be to only get either site if you are camping in a group.
