Perch Island is a small, private island at the southern end of the Glen Island Group on Lake George. There is a single campsite on the island, and we found out that it is perfect for couples or families that crave privacy! There is also a beautiful view of the lake and surrounding mountains.

These photos provide a glimpse of the view and features of Perch Island on Lake George, which will help you determine whether it would be a good island camping option for you to consider.

Perch Island has long been one of our favorite single island camping sites on Lake George.  There is a fabulous view to the south off a large boulder and plenty of privacy on the island itself. Perch Island is also close to Log Bay if you feel like being social.

If you prefer sunny islands and private camping, you can have both on Perch Island. It has just the right amount of trees for privacy and a nice open spot in the main camping area that allows for plenty of sun. There is a nice path around this relatively small island that is perfect for a family of 5. 

The campsite on Perch Island offers a nice fireplace for roasting marshmallows, hot dogs, etc. A peekhole through the trees offers a great view of the lake with a blue sillhouette backdrop of the surrounding Adirondack Mountains. There is also a good sized tent platform, which is a great plus.
