Adirondack Campgrounds Offering RV & Tent Sites

Campgrounds located just outside the immediate Lake George area trade quick village access for a deeper wilderness experience in the wider Adirondack Park. Spreading north toward Ticonderoga, and west into the quiet river valleys of Stony Creek and Lake Luzerne, these choices capture the classic, peaceful character of the mountains.

Find properties that will suit travelers who want wilderness trails, quiet lakes, and mountain scenery, while still staying within about a 10- to 45-minute drive of Lake George for easy day trips.

Deep Woods and Time By the Water

Moving past the main tourist corridors brings you to a mix of forest, creek, and lake settings, each with its own character.

In Fort Ann, Camp Little Notch is a 443-acre nonprofit property built around its own private lake, with rustic cabins, tent units, and open platform sites, primarily open for lodging in the spring and fall.

Heading west toward Lake Luzerne and Stony Creek brings you close to the Hudson and Schroon rivers, where local outfitters run whitewater rafting and lazy-river tubing trips through the summer.

Stony Creek Family Campground sits along its namesake creek, with RV, tent, and cabin sites plus fishing right on the property. Nearby in Lake Luzerne, Huttopia Adirondacks sits at the base of Kenyon Mountain, with ready-to-camp canvas and wood-frame tents spread across nearly 300 acres of forest, making it a convenient base for a day on the water without needing your own gear.

Further north in Ticonderoga, Brookwood RV Resort offers wooded, full-hookup sites and cabin rentals along a walking path by a brook, with its own canoe and kayak rentals for exploring nearby water.

Varied Ways to Stay

Because these locations are set deeper in the woods, setups run the full spectrum from rustic to convenient, and it's worth checking before you book rather than assuming.

Some properties, like Camp Little Notch, skip RV hookups entirely in favor of tent and platform sites with shared water access. Others, like Brookwood RV Resort, run full 30- and 50-amp electric, water, and sewer connections at every site. Many fall somewhere in between, with basic water and electric hookups for smaller trailers and pop-ups but no full sewer connection.

Frequently Asked Questions

How far are these broader Adirondack campgrounds from Lake George Village?

It depends on which direction you're heading. Campgrounds in neighboring Lake Luzerne, Stony Creek, or Fort Ann are typically a 15- to 20-minute drive from the village. True northern spots, like Brookwood RV Resort in Ticonderoga, require roughly a 30- to 45-minute drive down the Northway (I-87) or Route 9N.

What kind of hookups should I expect at these mountain locations?

It varies widely by property. Camp Little Notch keeps things rustic, with private latrines and a shared outdoor shower house rather than RV hookups, since it's built around tent and platform lodging. Brookwood RV Resort, by contrast, offers full 30- and 50-amp electric, water, and sewer connections at every site. Always check a property's specifications before booking, since some deeply wooded loops offer only shared water spigots and central dump stations.

Can I access hiking trails directly from these outlying campgrounds?

Yes, some offer on-site or nearby hiking. Camp Little Notch in Fort Ann has its own forested trails. Huttopia Adirondacks sits at the base of Kenyon Mountain in Lake Luzerne, with nature trails through its nearly 300 wooded acres and easy access to the surrounding mountains for a longer hike.

Do all of these campgrounds operate on the same camping season as Lake George?

Not exactly. Several outlying properties run shorter or different seasons than the mid-May-to-Columbus-Day window typical closer to the lake. Camp Little Notch in Fort Ann is primarily open for lodging in the spring and fall, since summer is reserved for its camp programming. Stony Creek Family Campground runs from mid-May through October. It's worth checking a property's specific season before planning a trip, especially if you're aiming for early spring or late fall.
