Find Lake George Area Campground or RV Park That's Just Right For You

The campgrounds and RV parks in the towns surrounding Lake George put you within reach of the lake while spreading out into the Southern Adirondacks. You can camp along major routes like Route 9 and Route 149, or head into the woods of Lake Luzerne, Queensbury, Fort Ann, or as far north as Ticonderoga, with drive times to the lake's public beaches, boat launches, and main attractions ranging from about 10 minutes to a bit under an hour depending on how far out you go.

Picking the Best Location for Your Trip

Where you choose to camp changes the whole feel of your vacation. You can stay close to the action or head out into the hills for a more secluded getaway.

Near the Village & Trolley Routes: Campgrounds located just south, west, or north of the village center are highly convenient for visiting the local outlet malls, theme parks, and restaurants. Lake George Camping Village is a three-minute drive from downtown. On Route 149, Lake George RV Park and Ledgeview RV Park sit along the same corridor near the outlets, with the village about a 10-minute drive north. And Lake George Escape in Diamond Point, just north of the village along the lake, adds a full-hookup, resort-style option with planned activities and its own on-site dining.

The Southern & Western Gateways: Heading out toward Lake Luzerne, Queensbury, or Fort Ann takes you outside the busiest village blocks, generally within a 15- to 20-minute drive. Lake George Campsites in Queensbury sits close to shopping and dining, while Huttopia Adirondacks in Lake Luzerne takes a different approach, with ready-to-camp canvas and wood-frame tents spread across nearly 300 acres of forest. And Moose Hillock Camping Resort in Fort Ann adds large, wooded, private sites that take RVs up to 45 feet, along with a heated pool complex and hiking trails nearby.

The Eastern Foothills & Northern Shore: Moving toward Hague or Ticonderoga, on the northern end of the lake, slows the pace down significantly. Brookwood RV Resort in Ticonderoga is a good example, with wooded, full-hookup sites, cabin rentals, and its own canoe and kayak rentals, roughly 30 to 45 minutes from the village.

Finding the Right Fit for Your Setup

The rolling hills and mountains of the Adirondacks mean that campground layouts vary wildly. Modern RV parks are usually built on flatter ground with wide turns and long, level pull-through sites to easily fit large motorhomes and fifth-wheels. Lake George RV Park on Route 149, for example, has 400 pull-through and back-in sites built with large rigs in mind.

On the other hand, the area's glamping resorts and traditional state parks use the natural hillsides, scattering raised wooden platforms, canvas tents, and rustic lean-tos among the trees and rocks where big trailers cannot go.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which campgrounds near the village are on the local trolley route?

Several private campgrounds along the Route 9 and Route 149 corridors just south and west of Lake George Village have scheduled stops for the seasonal trolley. This lets you ride directly to Canada Street, Million Dollar Beach, or the factory outlets without worrying about finding a parking spot for your vehicle.

Can I find campsites in the area that fit large Class A motorhomes?

Yes. Lake George RV Park and Moose Hillock Camping Resort both build sites specifically for big rigs: Lake George RV Park's 400 pull-through and back-in sites include 30 and 50-amp hookups, and Moose Hillock's wooded sites in Fort Ann take RVs up to 45 feet with full hookups. Be sure to share your total length and slide-out details when booking, as older, more wooded parks can have tighter turns.

Are there ready-to-camp or glamping options if I don't have my own gear?

Yes. Huttopia Adirondacks in Lake Luzerne offers ready-to-camp canvas and wood-frame tents furnished with real beds, so you can skip the tent setup entirely. Several family-friendly RV parks also rent out cozy cabins on-site: Lake George Campsites in Queensbury has cottage rentals, and Lake George Escape in Diamond Point offers cabins alongside its RV and tent sites too.

How far are the outlying campgrounds in Fort Ann or Lake Luzerne from Lake George?

Most neighboring campgrounds in towns like Lake Luzerne, Fort Ann, and Diamond Point are within a 10- to 20-minute drive of the village center. Moose Hillock Camping Resort in Fort Ann, for instance, is less than 10 miles from Lake George. If you stay further north in Hague or Ticonderoga, like at Brookwood RV Resort, you'll be in a much quieter area, but it takes roughly 30 to 45 minutes to drive down to the southern village attractions.
