Champlain, NY

Kings Bay Campground

151 RV Sites

Kings Bay Campground in Champlain, New York, offers 151 deluxe full-hookup RV sites on Lake Champlain with roughly 1,800 feet of waterfront and one of the few sand beaches on the New York shore. Sites carry 20, 30, and 50-amp with water and sewer, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables, and the campground is open all year. One hundred fifty-one deluxe full-hookup sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, and site WiFi. Cabins round out the accommodations. Laundry, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. One policy to check before booking: RVs are generally required to be within a 10-year model range, and older units need approval in advance. The lake carries the recreation. A sand beach gives direct swimming access, with boating, canoeing, kayaking, paddle boarding, paddle boats, and fishing from the property. An outdoor pool, clubhouse, recreation center, arcade, billiards, a dog park, hiking, and biking fill the grounds, with picnicking areas and birding along the shoreline. Pets are welcome. Champlain sits at the northern end of the Lake Champlain valley just south of the Canadian border, at the tri-border crossroads of New York, Vermont, and Quebec. Quebec's communities lie north, Vermont's Green Mountains across the lake to the east, and the Adirondacks rise to the west — an unusual range of day trips from one address. Summer lake season drives demand across the Champlain Valley. Reserve well ahead for July and August, and confirm RV age approval if your unit is older than ten years.

Plattsburgh, NY

Shady Oaks Camping Resort

12 RV Sites, 4 Tent Sites, 1 Glamping Site

In Plattsburgh, New York—on the western shore of Lake Champlain in the North Country between the Adirondack foothills and the Vermont Green Mountains, three-quarters of a mile from the City Beach on the lake's New York shore—Shady Oaks Camping Resort provides a full-service RV and camping facility that is as much about the Lake Champlain and Adirondack access it enables as it is about the pool, laundry, and fire pits it provides on the property. Level sites under a canopy of towering maple trees, a swimming pool, an outdoor movie theater, seasonal themed weekend events, and the particular community character of a locally owned and operated campground distinguish it from the chain-managed alternatives in the region, and the lake is close enough to walk to with a chair and a fishing rod in the morning. Full hookup sites with water, sewer, and 30-amp electric serve RV guests in both back-in and pull-through configurations, with several sites large enough to accommodate big rigs in a tree-canopy setting that the maples make genuinely pleasant during the heat of July and August. Tent camping positions give the campground's spectrum of accommodation types the range it needs to serve solo tent travelers, camping families, and RV guests within the same property. Clean restrooms with showers, a laundry room, and a banquet hall serve the full guest population with the infrastructure that week-long stays require. A camp store with camping supplies and basic necessities keeps common needs on property. Communal fire pits, horseshoe pits, and cornhole sets create the social gathering infrastructure that campground evenings are built around, and a seasonal events calendar of themed rallies, campouts, and special weekends gives repeat-visit guests the programming variety that a single fixed-amenity set can't provide. An outdoor movie theater rounds out the evening entertainment with the particular charm that watching films under an upstate New York sky delivers. Lake Champlain's western shore access—three-quarters of a mile to the City Beach—puts the lake's recreational programming within the walking distance that Plattsburgh's compact layout makes practical. The lake itself, extending 120 miles between New York and Vermont, is one of the Northeast's most historically significant bodies of water—the site of decisive Revolutionary War and War of 1812 naval battles, the deep cold lake whose fishing for landlocked Atlantic salmon, lake trout, and walleye attracts serious anglers from both states and Quebec. The lake's visibility across to the Vermont shore, with the Green Mountains rising from the Burlington waterfront, provides the landscape backdrop that makes Lake Champlain campground stays specifically beautiful in morning light. The Adirondack Park, immediately west of Plattsburgh, provides the hiking, paddling, and wilderness camping access of one of the largest protected natural areas in the lower 48 states. High Peaks Wilderness Area trails reach Whiteface Mountain and the High Peaks cluster within a manageable drive, and the Lake Placid Olympic complex, Ausable Chasm, and the full Adirondack outdoor recreation infrastructure are accessible from the Plattsburgh base. Burlington, Vermont—one of New England's most vibrant mid-sized cities—is accessible by ferry across the lake for a day visit that requires no driving over the mountain passes that the land route demands. Shady Oaks Camping Resort is open seasonally through the North Country camping season, typically from spring through early fall. Summer represents peak demand with the combination of Lake Champlain swimming, Adirondack hiking, and the campground's programming calendar at its fullest. Fall foliage—both the Adirondack maples within the park and the view across the lake to the Vermont hills—creates a second peak period of exceptional visual reward. Reserve your maple-shaded site early for summer and fall weekends.

Ausable River Campsite

67 RV Sites, 13 Tent Sites

Ausable River Campsite in Keeseville, New York, offers 67 full-hookup RV sites and 13 tent sites across 130 acres of mature hardwoods along the Ausable River, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 40 feet. Standard and deluxe categories sit in the Adirondack Park, minutes from the Northway and Lake Champlain. Sixty-seven sites run in standard and deluxe full-hookup categories carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 40 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, and site WiFi. One policy to check before booking: RVs are generally required to be within a 10-year model range, with older units needing prior approval. Thirteen tent sites round out the accommodations. A laundry, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. A beach on the river anchors the recreation, with swimming, fishing, boating, canoeing, and kayaking from the water. A recreation center, sports courts, volleyball, shuffleboard, horseshoes, a playground, dog park, and picnicking areas fill the 130 wooded acres, with wine tasting nearby. Pets are welcome. The Ausable is one of the Northeast's most celebrated wild trout rivers, and the mature hardwood setting delivers the deep-forest quiet that defines the Adirondacks at their best. Keeseville sits in Clinton County just minutes from the Adirondack Northway and the Lake Champlain shoreline, which serves both I-87 travelers and guests who planned specifically for the river and the mountains. Summer and fall foliage drive demand in the Adirondacks. Reserve well ahead, and confirm RV age approval if your unit is over ten years old.

Spacious Skies Adirondack Peaks

126 RV Sites, 24 Cabins, 7 Tent Sites, 3 Yurts

Spacious Skies Adirondack Peaks in North Hudson, New York, offers 126 RV sites, 24 cabins, seven tent sites, and three yurts in Essex County's High Peaks country, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout.

Confirm your tier, as the water-and-electric category does not carry sewer at the site. The buddy sites suit two rigs traveling together, and waterfront is worth requesting. Twenty-four cabins, seven tent sites, and three yurts round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. All guests check in at the main office and sign the terms — e-signature in advance is encouraged. An outdoor pool and beach anchor the summer, with a lake and river supporting boating, canoeing, kayaking, and swimming. Mini-golf, a jumping pillow, arcade, recreation center, craft room, gaga ball, sports courts, volleyball, gem mining, bike rentals, golf cart rentals, walking trails, a playground, pavilion, and dog park fill the rest. Mount Marcy, Lake Placid, and the Boquet River are all close. Summer and foliage drive demand. Reserve well ahead.

Randolph, VT

Lake Champagne Resort Vermont

31 RV Sites

At 53 Lake Champagne Drive in Randolph Center, Vermont—at the geographic center of Vermont in Washington County in the Green Mountains where the ancient metamorphic ridgeline, the dairy farm pastoral landscape, and the stream-fed natural ponds create the quintessential Vermont countryside character that the state's tourism identity is built around—Lake Champagne Resort Vermont provides full hookup RV sites on wide, level pads, water and electric sites, tent sites, glamping options, and a 3-acre natural swimming pond on 100 acres of Green Mountain countryside in the campground that has been introducing Vermont to a generation of returning guests who found the geographic center and kept coming back. The 3-acre swimming pond, the 100 wooded acres, and the central Vermont location equidistant from every corner of the state define what makes Lake Champagne a destination campground rather than a regional transit stop. Full hookup RV sites on spacious, level pads with wide views accommodate the largest coaches and fifth wheels with the clearance and gravel support that Vermont's variable terrain often doesn't provide at smaller campgrounds. Water and electric sites offer the partial hookup alternative for self-contained units. Tucked-away wooded sites nested into the surrounding tree canopy provide the shaded privacy option that guests seeking the Vermont forest immersion specifically prefer to the open-lawn full hookup positions. Tent sites and glamping options extend the accommodation range to the full spectrum of camping styles. A 3-acre natural swimming pond—stream-fed, surrounded by lawn, with a sandy wading beach—provides the freshwater swimming experience at the campground's heart without the chlorine, the capacity constraints, or the pool scheduling that a conventional resort pool imposes on a sunny July afternoon. Basketball and volleyball courts provide the organized outdoor sport options. Free WiFi and cable television serve the connectivity and entertainment infrastructure. Clean, well-maintained bathrooms consistently receive the highest marks in guest reviews—a detail that reflects the operational priority that the resort places on the amenity that travelers notice most immediately. Vermont's central position means that the state's most celebrated destinations are roughly equidistant from Randolph Center in a radius that makes every Vermont tourism attraction accessible as a day trip. Ben & Jerry's ice cream factory in Waterbury—30 minutes northwest—provides the most-visited tourist attraction in Vermont by annual visitor count: the factory tours, the Flavor Graveyard, and the scoop shop that makes a Vermont visit feel incomplete without the Cherry Garcia afternoon. The Barre granite quarries—the largest deep-hole granite quarries in the world, producing the gray granite that supplies more cemetery monuments than any other quarry operation in the United States—provide the industrial heritage and geological spectacle that makes Barre one of the more unexpectedly fascinating Vermont towns. The Green Mountain National Forest's trail network, the Vermont ski resort circuit in the surrounding mountain landscape, country stores in the historic villages of the central Vermont plateau, summer festivals including the Vermont State Fair in Rutland, and the agricultural fair programming that Washington County's dairy farm community maintains through the summer and fall create the activity calendar that keeps guests at Lake Champagne for multiple days across all four seasons. Lake Champagne Resort Vermont is open seasonally. Summer represents the peak swimming pond and Green Mountain recreation season. The fall foliage period in mid-to-late October produces the most photographically spectacular Vermont landscape that the campground's 100 acres and the surrounding ridgeline vistas frame. Reserve early for the peak foliage weekend that Vermont's leaf-peeping tourism saturates with demand. Make the Ben & Jerry's run in the afternoon, swim the pond in the morning, and let the geographic center of Vermont deliver the full-state access that no edge-of-Vermont campground can match.

Limoges, ON

Kittawa RV Resort

27 RV Sites, 5 Cabins, 11 Tent Sites, 4 Cottages

Thirty minutes east of Ottawa in Limoges, Ontario—in the Nation Municipality of Eastern Ontario where the rural French-English bilingual community of the Ottawa Valley creates the cultural character that distinguishes the eastern Ontario cottage country from the Muskoka and Kawartha corridors to the west—Kittawa RV Resort, a Summerhill Resorts property at 651 Limoges Road, offers 310 spacious tree-lined sites with water and electric hookups, a man-made lake, hot tubs, an Aquapark, a ballfield, sport courts, a children's playground, an outdoor theater, fishing, canoe and paddleboard and kayak rentals, laundry, a general store, propane exchange, WiFi hotspots, and clean washroom and shower facilities, alongside the weekend activity programming—wagon rides, wood sign painting, outdoor movie nights, Pétanque, water volleyball, evening dances, kids' baseball, and darts—that Summerhill Resorts builds into its resort calendar to create the socially engaged camping experience that the 30-minutes-from-Ottawa market consistently seeks. The capital is a half hour west. The lake is on-site. Three hundred ten tree-lined sites with water and electric hookups provide the seasonal and overnight accommodation for the Ottawa Valley's family camping community, with the man-made lake at the resort's center creating the aquatic focus that the Aquapark's inflatable obstacle course and water features, the fishing from the lake's banks, and the canoe, paddleboard, and kayak rentals extend into the full water recreation day. Hot tubs provide the evening soaking complement to the lake activity, the sport courts and ballfield serve the active guest who needs organized physical activity, and the outdoor theater's movie nights create the social gathering event that the resort's family demographic turns out for in force. The general store, propane exchange, laundry, and WiFi handle the practical daily logistics of an extended-stay resort 30 minutes from Ottawa's full urban infrastructure. Limoges sits in the Nation Municipality, which encompasses the bilingual rural communities of the South Nation River watershed in Eastern Ontario between Ottawa and the Quebec border. The Nation River's agricultural and wetland corridor through the municipality creates the natural environment that the surrounding farmland and the forested conservation areas provide for the wildlife watching and the seasonal outdoor activity that the Limoges area's proximity to Ottawa makes attractive to the capital region's residents seeking the rural escape that the city's immediate commuter belt cannot provide. Ottawa, 30 minutes west on Highway 417, provides the full national capital experience—Parliament Hill's Centre Block (reopening after extensive restoration), the National Gallery of Canada's Frank Gehry-designed building on Sussex Drive, the Canadian Museum of History across the Ottawa River in Gatineau, the Rideau Canal's UNESCO World Heritage waterway, and the ByWard Market's farmer stalls, restaurants, and galleries that make the Ottawa core genuinely walkable and engaging for the day-trip visitor from Kittawa. The Rideau Canal's 23 locks between Ottawa and Kingston provide the waterway heritage that the canal's designation as a World Heritage Site celebrates. Kittawa RV Resort operates seasonally through the Ontario camping season, with the Victoria Day weekend in late May through the Thanksgiving weekend in October covering the primary open period and the July and August peak delivering the weekend programming—movie nights, Pétanque, wagon rides—that the Summerhill activity calendar schedules to create the socially animated resort experience. Reserve your site at Kittawa and let the man-made lake, the Aquapark, the evening outdoor theater, and the 30-minute Ottawa access make Eastern Ontario's most complete resort campground the capital region escape that the Summerhill standard delivers.

Lake George, NY

Lake George Riverview Campground

114 RV Sites

Lake George Riverview Campground in New York offers 114 full-hookup RV sites on a Schroon River peninsula four miles north of Lake George Village, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 75 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. Riverside and deluxe 50-amp categories join pull-through sites, with an outdoor pool, beach, and game room. One hundred fourteen sites span 30-amp riverside full hookup, 50-amp riverside full hookup, 50-amp deluxe riverside, 50-amp deluxe, and 50-amp deluxe pull-through categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric, sized to 75 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. The riverside categories put you on the water and are worth requesting early. Cabins round out the lodging. A laundry, propane fills, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. An outdoor pool and river beach anchor the summer, with canoeing, kayaking, boating, fishing, and swimming from the Schroon. A game room, arcade, sports courts, volleyball, bocce ball, horseshoes, a playground, pavilion, and picnicking fill the grounds. Pets are welcome. The peninsula setting is the property's defining feature. Lake George sits at the southern gateway of the Adirondacks, where glacially carved ridges and forested peaks frame what is arguably the most classically beautiful mountain lake landscape in the eastern United States, and the campground has water on three sides. Summer is decisively the season in the Adirondacks, with fall foliage drawing a strong second wave. Reserve well ahead for July and August, and for peak color in late September and early October.

Lebanon, NH

Mascoma Lake Campground

3 RV Sites, 2 Cabins, 2 Tent Sites, 1 House, 2 Tiny Houses

On the eastern shore of Mascoma Lake in Lebanon, New Hampshire's Upper Valley region, Mascoma Lake Campground delivers a private sandy beach, full hookup RV sites, cabins, tiny homes, an A-Frame house, and the exceptional recreational access of a five-mile lake that provides swimming, boating, fishing, and paddling in a natural setting minutes from Dartmouth College and the vibrant commercial and cultural character of the Lebanon-Hanover corridor. For travelers who want genuine lake access, a sandy beach, and the intellectual energy of a college town within reach of the campground—all in the context of New Hampshire's spectacular summer landscape—Mascoma Lake provides an unusual convergence of natural and cultural amenities. RV sites include 30 and 50-amp electric service with water and sewer hookups, and every site has a fire ring and picnic table for the campfire experience that defines quality summer camping. A jumping pillow, gaga ball court, basketball court, and horseshoes extend the on-site recreation beyond the lake, and the campground's sports facilities provide activity options for days when the weather doesn't cooperate with swimming or paddling plans. Cabins, tiny homes, and the A-Frame house provide fully equipped alternative accommodations with air conditioning, full kitchens, bathrooms, and WiFi for guests who want the lake setting without tent or RV camping. Laundry facilities and clean shower and restroom infrastructure support the full range of staying styles the property offers. Mascoma Lake occupies a glacially carved basin in Grafton and Sullivan Counties along the Route 4 corridor between Lebanon and Enfield, where the lake's five-mile length and relatively undeveloped shoreline create a recreational experience that stands in contrast to the busy lakeside communities of the Lakes Region further east. The Northern Rail Trail, a multi-use recreational path converted from a former Boston and Maine Railroad corridor, runs along the lake's eastern shore and connects to an extended network through Grafton County—providing cycling and walking access to the surrounding Upper Valley landscape without requiring any additional drive. The lake's clear water supports excellent bass and perch fishing alongside the swimming and paddling activities. Lebanon and Hanover form the commercial and academic heart of the Upper Valley, the bi-state region spanning the Connecticut River on the Vermont-New Hampshire border. Dartmouth College in Hanover, just minutes from the campground, contributes the intellectual vitality, outstanding Hopkins Center for the Arts programming, and the Baker-Berry Library's Hood Museum of Art to a region that punches well above its population weight in cultural and educational resources. The Lebanon-Hanover commercial area provides excellent independent restaurants, the Lebanon Opera House, and the full range of services that support a quality extended-stay experience in this part of northern New England. Mascoma Lake Campground operates seasonally from late spring through early fall, with the lake swimming, boating, and paddling season at its prime from late June through August. The jumping pillow and gaga ball are particular draws for families with children between six and twelve who need additional activity beyond the beach. Fall foliage in the Upper Valley typically peaks in early to mid-October, when the sugar maples, birches, and aspens on the surrounding hillsides produce the color display that draws leaf-peepers from throughout the Northeast. Reserve your site, cabin, or A-Frame at Mascoma Lake Campground and let Lebanon's Upper Valley geography deliver one of New Hampshire's finest summer lake experiences.

One hundred six sites span full hookup deluxe 30-amp, full hookup deluxe 50-amp, water-and-electric 30-amp, and tent/pop-up water-and-electric categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with cable TV, sized to 60 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables.

Holderness, NH

Winni Lakefront Cabin

1 Cabin

The Lake Winnipesaukee Lakefront Cabin in Holderness, New Hampshire, is a secluded three-bedroom lakefront cabin retreat with excellent amenities, a private dock slip, and a protected cove setting in Grafton County — a premium cabin property on one of the most celebrated lakes in New England, positioned at the southern end of the Lake Winnipesaukee watershed where the Squam Lake's quiet beauty, the lake's 28,000-acre surface, and the Mount Washington Scenic Railroad give the Holderness area the specific Lakes Region character of the New Hampshire vacation landscape that has drawn the summer cottage and resort market for 150 years. Holderness's Grafton County position at the confluence of Squam Lake and the Pemigewasset River gives the cabin its specific location on the Squam-Winnipesaukee corridor — the two lakes that together define the New Hampshire Lakes Region's most iconic vacation landscape. A three-bedroom lakefront cabin with a private dock slip and the protected cove amenities give the Winni Lakefront Cabin the premium summer vacation accommodation that New Hampshire's most beloved lake specifically sustains for the family or group that wants the complete Lakes Region lake experience in a private, fully-equipped cabin rather than the campground or resort hotel alternative — the private dock's boat access, the protected cove's swimming safety, and the three-bedroom capacity for the multi-family summer vacation group give the Holderness cabin its specific premium Lakes Region character. Pets are welcome. Lake Winnipesaukee, 28,000 acres of the Lakes Region's centerpiece lake in Belknap, Carroll, and Grafton Counties, is the largest lake in New Hampshire and one of the most visited lakes in New England — a glacially scoured lake with 365 islands (one for each day of the year, as the local tourism marketing has noted for over a century), 283 miles of shoreline, and a central position in the New Hampshire summer vacation economy that the resort communities of Wolfeboro, Meredith, Center Harbor, and Weirs Beach have sustained since the Boston and Maine Railroad's 19th-century service to Laconia gave the Boston market its first accessible New England lake resort destination. Squam Lake, immediately north of Holderness and the setting for the 1981 Academy Award-winning film "On Golden Pond," is the New Hampshire Lakes Region's most pristine and least-developed major lake — a 6,791-acre lake of uncommon clarity and the loon nesting population that the Squam Lakes Science Center's loon research program specifically monitors in the region's most recognized symbol of the New Hampshire wild lake. The Squam Lakes Natural Science Center's live animal exhibits in Holderness, with the mountain lion, the bobcat, the raptors, and the native New Hampshire wildlife in natural enclosures, give the lakeside location its wildlife education complement to the lake recreation. The Lake Winnipesaukee Lakefront Cabin serves guests through New Hampshire's Lakes Region summer season from late May through early October, with the peak season from the 4th of July through Labor Day sustaining the maximum demand for the private lakefront cabin accommodations that the Holderness cove position and the Squam-Winnipesaukee corridor give the property. The Mount Washington Cruise on Lake Winnipesaukee from Weirs Beach gives the lake the scenic steamship excursion tradition that the M/S Mount Washington has operated since 1872 in one of the longest continuously operated inland lake cruise services in the United States. Reserve the cabin well ahead — many months in advance for the peak summer season.

Hammond, NY

Back Bay Campground

34 RV Sites, 6 Tent Sites

Back Bay Campground sits on the southern shore of Black Bay on Black Lake in Hammond, New York, a few minutes from the St. Lawrence River in a corner of St. Lawrence County where the fishing is outstanding, the summer pace is genuinely unhurried, and the water is the point of everything. The campground is a full-service camping and cottage operation in the Thousand Islands region—one of the most historically celebrated freshwater waterscapes in North America, where 1,800 islands scatter across the St. Lawrence between Ontario and New York. Full hookup RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service, water, and sewer accommodate RV campers, while cozy cottages and tent sites serve guests who prefer enclosed accommodation or a simpler camping experience. A swimming pool provides a controlled water option, and the campground store is stocked with ice, gas, propane, food, and drinks—the full supply roster for a weekend at the lake. A boat launch and dock access give campers direct water entry, and boat rentals are available on-site: 16-foot aluminum fishing boats for anglers targeting Black Lake's perch and bass, and 18 to 22-foot pontoons for leisurely lake tours. Kayak rentals and outdoor games round out the on-property recreation. WiFi is available throughout, and the weekend activity calendar—movie nights, karaoke, and themed holiday events—adds a social dimension to what is otherwise a nature-focused camping experience. Black Lake is a 6,000-acre natural lake in St. Lawrence County famous throughout the Northeast as a perch fishing destination—the lake's enormous population of yellow perch draws ice fishers in winter and live-bait anglers in summer in pursuit of one of the most consistently productive freshwater fisheries in New York State. Bass, walleye, and northern pike round out the species list, and the lake's clear, fertile water supports the kind of multi-species fishing that keeps anglers occupied across an entire week-long stay rather than a single afternoon. Hammond, the nearest town, is a small lakeside community with the unhurried character of upstate New York's working rural landscape. The St. Lawrence River, a few minutes north of the campground, opens into the Thousand Islands region where the river broadens between granite outcrops, wooded islands, and the Victorian castles and summer estates that the Gilded Age's wealthy families built on the riverine archipelago. Boldt Castle on Heart Island—the unfinished monument to a love story that has defined Thousand Islands tourism for over a century—is accessible by boat tour from Clayton and Alexandria Bay. Wellesley Island State Park provides hiking, camping, and the Minna Anthony Common Nature Center, one of the Thousand Islands' best natural history interpretation facilities, directly on the river. Back Bay Campground operates from May 1 through September 30, aligning with the northern New York camping season when Black Lake's fishing peaks and the St. Lawrence region is at its most accessible and welcoming. Summer weekends fill quickly given the combination of excellent fishing, proximity to the Thousand Islands, and the cottages and boat rentals that make extended family stays particularly manageable here. Early reservations are essential for July and August holiday weekends in a region where quality waterfront camping with full services is limited.
