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. Waterfront and buddy pull-through categories join full-hookup and water-and-electric back-in tiers, with a pool, beach, mini-golf, and jumping pillow. One hundred twenty-six sites span back-in 30-amp, back-in 30/50-amp, back-in water-and-electric 30-amp, pull-thru 30/50-amp, pull-thru buddy, and waterfront categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with site WiFi, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. 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.

10 Acres Campground

15 RV Sites, 5 Tent Sites

10 Acres Campground in Addison, VT, offers 15 full-hookup RV sites and 5 tent sites, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 50 feet. The three categories say what you get: lake view full-hookup sites with water, sewer, and 50/30-amp power; pool side RV sites; and water-and-electric sites. Full-hookup sites carry water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi, a fire pit, and a picnic table. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, firewood, propane fills and exchange, and a dump station cover the essentials, and pets are welcome. An outdoor pool, a pavilion, a playground, horseshoes, walking trails, and a pond fill the grounds, with lake access for fishing, boating, swimming, and kayaking, plus planned activities. A restaurant is a mile out and skydiving is two and a half. Addison sits on Lake Champlain — 120 miles of freshwater inland sea studded with islands, the Green Mountains on one shore and the Adirondacks on the other. Shelburne Museum and Lake Placid are both day trips. Rates for sites and tent spots are on the booking page. Lake view sites are limited and book first.

Glen-Hudson Campsite

117 RV Sites, 1 Cabin

Glen-Hudson Campsite in Warrensburg, NY, offers full-hookup RV sites and cabins, with room for rigs up to 45 feet. Contact the campground for site count and amp service, since those specifics aren't published. The property is rated big rig friendly within its 45-foot limit. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, propane fills, firewood, a dump station, and WiFi cover the practical side, with cabins for guests without a rig. Pets are welcome. Direct Hudson River frontage is the reason to book. Guests tube, fish, and paddle straight from the site, with whitewater rafting, boating, swimming, water sports, and biking, plus a heated pool and organized weekend activities. Warrensburg sits on the Hudson in the southern Adirondacks, minutes from Lake George and its amusement parks, with the high peaks north. Rates for sites and cabins are on the booking page. Adirondack summer is short and the Lake George corridor fills — reserve well ahead, and call to confirm your rig's fit.

from $43/night

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.

Ausable River Campsite

46 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.

from $35/night

Ausable Pines

Ausable Pines in Peru, New York, offers 76 full-hookup RV sites and 14 tent sites on the Adirondack Park's northeastern edge, with 30-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet. A single standard full-hookup category means every guest gets the same spec, with an outdoor pool, disc golf course, walking trails, and dog park. Seventy-six back-in sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 30-amp, sized to 45 feet. Two things to check before booking: service is 30-amp throughout, so a rig wired for heavier service will need an adapter and some load management, and RVs are required to be in good condition — generally within a 10-year model range, with older rigs cleared in advance. Fourteen tent sites round out the lodging. Firewood and a dog park handle the practical side. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with a disc golf course, walking trails, and river frontage filling the grounds. Fishing, boating, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, biking, and picnicking round it out, with a lake nearby. Pets are welcome. Peru sits in Clinton County where the Ausable River's meandering lower valley meets the Lake Champlain shoreline and the eastern Adirondack foothills. This is the Champlain Valley's western shore — apple country and resort towns rather than High Peaks wilderness, though Whiteface, Lake Placid, and Ausable Chasm are all within a short drive, and Burlington sits across the lake by ferry. Summer is the season in the Adirondacks, with foliage drawing a strong September and early October. Reserve well ahead for July and August, and clear RV approval early if your coach is older.

HTR Adirondacks Campground

51 RV Sites, 18 Cabins, 20 Tent Sites, 1 Glamping Site

HTR Adirondacks Campground in Old Forge, New York, offers 51 RV sites, 18 cabins, 20 tent sites, and a glamping site at the gateway to the Adirondack Park's southwestern wilderness, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 50 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout, behind a gated entrance. Waterfront and waterview back-in categories join 50-amp and water-and-electric tiers, with a pool, beach, and tennis. Fifty-one sites span back-in 30-amp water-and-electric, back-in 50-amp, pull-thru 30-amp water-and-electric, waterfront back-in 30-amp, waterfront back-in 50-amp, and waterview categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted, sized to 50 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. The waterfront categories are worth requesting early; confirm your tier, as the water-and-electric options do not carry sewer. Eighteen cabins, 20 tent sites, and a glamping site round out the lodging. A laundry, dump station, restrooms, showers, recycling, and on-site dining handle the practical side. An outdoor pool and beach anchor the summer, with boating, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, and fishing on the water. Sports courts, tennis, pickleball, basketball, walking trails, and a playground fill the grounds, with strong birding and stargazing besides. The Fulton Chain of Lakes' eight interconnected waters make Old Forge one of the Adirondacks' most beloved four-season communities. Summer and fall foliage drive demand. Reserve well ahead.

Lake Lauderdale Campground

14 RV Sites, 2 Cabins, 11 Tent Sites

Lake Lauderdale Campground in Cambridge, New York, offers 14 full-hookup RV sites, two cabins, and 11 tent sites on over 50 acres beside a private lake, with 30 and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 50 feet. A clubhouse, library, and general store sit on a property with lake and mountain views in Washington County. Fourteen sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp in pull-through and back-in configurations, sized to 50 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, cable TV, and site WiFi. Two cabins and 11 tent sites round out the accommodations. A general store, laundry, propane fills, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. One vehicle is allowed per site, with an extra vehicle fee of $5 per night on arrival. The lake carries the recreation. Fishing, canoeing, and kayaking run directly from the shoreline, with hiking and biking from the property and a playground and clubhouse on the grounds. A library serves quieter hours, and planned activities run through the season. Pets are welcome. Cambridge sits at the Hudson Valley's northeastern edge, where the Taconic Mountains' western piedmont meets the Battenkill River valley's world-class trout fishing and the Vermont border. Washington County's rolling farmland and New England character make it one of the most rewarding and least-visited corners of the greater Hudson Valley. Saratoga Springs is 30 minutes away and Lake George 50. Summer and fall foliage drive demand, with Saratoga's racing season tightening area lodging. Reserve ahead.

Blue Haven Campground and Resort

16 RV Sites

Blue Haven Campground and Resort in Ellenburg Depot, NY, offers 16 RV sites with 20 and 30-amp service and back-in sites for rigs up to 45 feet. Sites come in two nightly-stay categories: 30/20-amp full-hookup back-ins carrying water, sewer, and electric, and 30/20-amp water-and-electric back-ins. Each has a fire pit. Note the electrical: this is a 20 and 30-amp property, so a rig wired for heavier service will need an adapter and some load management. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a dump station, and WiFi cover the essentials. Pets are welcome, and there's a playground. Guests may bring their own boat or kayak and their own golf cart. An outdoor pool, a clubhouse, a recreation center, mini-golf, a pavilion, a ball field, sport courts, volleyball, basketball, shuffleboard, and horseshoes fill the grounds, with a boat launch to Lake Champlain for boating, paddling, and fishing, plus walking trails through the forest. Ellenburg Depot sits at the northern edge of the Adirondacks — six million protected acres, 2,000 miles of trail, and 3,000 lakes and ponds — with a state park nearby. Rates and availability are on the booking page. Summer weeks book earliest.

from $48/night

Onion River Campground

26 RV Sites, 24 Tent Sites

Onion River Campground in Plainfield, Vermont, offers 26 RV sites and 24 tent sites along the Winooski River, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 25 feet. Full-hookup and water-and-electric back-in categories at both amperages join walking trails, a community fire pit, and forested grounds. Twenty-six back-in sites span back-in 30-amp, back-in 30-amp water-and-electric, back-in 50-amp, and back-in 50-amp water-and-electric categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted, sized to 25 feet. Two things to plan around carefully: the 25-foot cap is genuinely restrictive and rules out most modern RVs, so this suits vans, small trailers, and truck campers rather than coaches, and the water-and-electric categories do not carry sewer at the site. Twenty-four tent sites make this substantially a tent property. A dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. Walking trails, a community fire pit, and the surrounding forest fill the grounds, with swimming, fishing, canoeing, kayaking, hiking, biking, and picnicking on and around the river. The dark central Vermont sky makes for excellent stargazing. Pets are welcome. Vermonters called the Winooski the Onion River for the wild leeks along its banks before European settlement, and the name stuck to the campground. Plainfield sits 10 to 15 minutes from Montpelier — the smallest state capital in the country and the only one without a McDonald's — with Goddard College, the Groton State Forest, and the Northeast Kingdom all close. Summer and foliage drive demand. Reserve ahead, and check your rig against the 25-foot limit.

from $32/night

Kings Bay Campground

137 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.

from $18/night

Crown Point Camping Area

104 RV Sites, 2 Cabins, 11 Tent Sites

Crown Point Camping Area in Perkinsville, VT, offers RV sites, tent sites, and cabins, with room for rigs up to 40 feet. Contact the campground for site count, hookups, and amp service, since those specifics aren't published. Check the 40-foot maximum against your rig before booking. WiFi covers the property, and the sites are well shaded. Pets are welcome. Mini-golf, walking trails, and a full calendar of planned activities fill the wooded grounds, with swimming, fishing, boating, kayaking, and water sports on nearby Stoughton Pond. Hiking on Mount Ascutney is close, and skiing is a short drive in winter. Perkinsville sits in Vermont's Connecticut River Valley, in woods quiet enough that the campground's own pitch leans on the tranquility rather than the amenity list — which, for the family audience it serves, is the right call. Rates for sites, tent spots, and cabins are on the booking page. Vermont's summer and fall foliage seasons both book early — reserve ahead and confirm your rig's fit.
