Saratoga RV Park

246 RV Sites

Saratoga RV Park in Gansevoort, New York, offers 246 full-hookup back-in RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 50 feet, just north of Saratoga Springs. Basic and premium categories join an outdoor pool, clubhouse, recreation center, and on-site dining in the Capital Region. Two hundred forty-six back-in sites run in basic and premium categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp with site WiFi, sized to 50 feet. A laundry, propane fills and exchange, restrooms, showers, RV storage, and boat storage handle the practical side. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with a clubhouse, recreation center, and on-site dining besides. Pickleball, volleyball, basketball, shuffleboard, and sports courts fill the courts, with walking trails, hiking, biking, and a playground across the grounds. A state park is nearby. Pets are welcome. Saratoga Springs is the draw, and it carries an unusual concentration for a city its size: world-class thoroughbred racing at one of America's oldest tracks, the Saratoga Performing Arts Center, Revolutionary and Civil War history, and the natural mineral springs that made the city a destination in the first place. Directions from the south: take Exit 15 north off I-87, turn right, and follow NY-50 for eight miles — the park is on the left. The July and August racing meet is the sharpest demand spike of the year and fills lodging across the entire Capital Region. Reserve as early as you can if your stay overlaps it.

King Phillip's Campground

106 RV Sites, 1 Tent Site

King Phillip's Campground in Lake George, New York, offers 106 RV sites and a tent site 1.5 miles from Lake George Village, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 60 feet behind a gated entrance. Full-hookup deluxe categories at both amperages join a 30-amp water-and-electric tier and a tent/pop-up site, with a pool, beach, and recreation center. 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. Confirm your tier, as the water-and-electric category does not carry sewer at the site. Cabins round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, restrooms, showers, and a gated entrance handle the practical side. An outdoor pool and beach anchor the summer, with the lake supporting boating, fishing, and swimming. A recreation center, game room, playground, pavilion, and hiking fill the grounds, with planned activities through the season and mountains in every direction. Pets are welcome. The campground sits 200 feet from the Warren County Bikeway, which is a genuine advantage for anyone traveling with bicycles — the paved trail runs into the village and on toward Glens Falls. Lake George itself is 32 miles of glacier-carved water inside the Adirondack Park's six-million-acre preserve, with the village's 19th-century hotel and steamship heritage still visible. Summer is decisively the season at Lake George, with foliage drawing a strong September. Reserve well ahead for July and August.

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.

from $34/night

Watersedge Campground

2 RV Sites

Watersedge Campground in Hadley, NY, offers 2 full-hookup back-in RV sites with 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 38 feet. Both sites are back-ins carrying water, sewer, and electric. Note the electrical: the campground runs 50-amp service, so a rig wired for lighter service will need an adapter, and the 38-foot maximum keeps this to mid-size rigs. A bathhouse with showers is on the property, and there's a playground. Two sites means you are effectively renting a piece of the lakeshore rather than a spot in a campground — no neighbors, no queue, no schedule. A fishing pier gives direct water access, with hiking from the property. Hadley sits on the Great Sacandaga Lake in Saratoga County, at the southern gateway to the Adirondack Park — the largest reservoir in the Adirondack watershed, and the swimming, boating, and fishing hub of the park's southern corridor. Rates and availability are on the booking page. With two sites, contact the campground directly and book as far ahead as you can.

An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with mini-golf, a game room, sports courts, pickleball, volleyball, basketball, and shuffleboard filling the grounds, plus walking trails, hiking, and a playground. A casino is nearby. The amenity set is well-developed without being elaborate, which keeps this an affordable base in an expensive resort town. Pets are welcome. Lake George has drawn visitors from across the eastern seaboard since the nineteenth century, and the village concentrates historical attractions and commercial entertainment more densely than anywhere else inland in New York. The Adirondack foothills rise immediately around it. Directions: the campground sits three miles north of Lake George Village on New York State Route 9, 60 miles north of Albany. Summer is decisively the season, and Lake George fills across the board in July and August. Reserve well ahead.

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.

Royal Mountain Campground

In Johnstown, New York—in Fulton County at the southern gateway to the Adirondacks where the Mohawk Valley's historical corridor, Sir William Johnson's colonial-era Johnson Hall mansion, the Adirondack foothills' first-growth forests, and the 44 lakes of Fulton County's lake district create the specific upstate New York environment where Revolutionary War heritage, working-class Adirondack culture, and freshwater fishing intersect in one of the state's historically richest but least overcrowded regional corridors—Royal Mountain Campground provides tent and RV sites with water and electric hookups including 30 and 50-amp full hookup options, a stocked fishing pond, nature trails, volleyball and bocce ball and horseshoe courts, a playground, a community fire pit, laundry facilities, WiFi, and Granny's Ice Cream Shanty on-site in the family-operated Fulton County campground that the Johnstown location places within reach of the Adirondack Park's southern boundary, the historic sites of the Mohawk Valley, and the 44 Lakes region's summer recreation circuit. The stocked fishing pond, the on-site ice cream destination, and the Adirondack gateway positioning together constitute the combination that makes Royal Mountain a family campground rather than a transit stop. Water and electric hookup sites with 30 and 50-amp service, full hookup positions for guests requiring sewer connections, and tent sites provide the accommodation range at the family-operated campground. A stocked fishing pond on the property provides the immediate catch-and-release fishing access that the youngest campers particularly value—a pond 30 yards from the site requires no fishing license for children in New York and no early-morning boat launch logistics. Nature trails through the Fulton County woodland landscape connect the campground's grounds to the surrounding forest. Volleyball, bocce ball, and horseshoe courts provide the organized outdoor competition that family and group campground programming traditionally centers on. A playground, community fire pit, grills, and picnic tables complete the family outdoor living infrastructure. Granny's Ice Cream Shanty on-site provides the light food and dessert destination that transforms a campground ice cream stop into a reason guests who aren't camping drive to the property on summer evenings. Laundry facilities, hot showers, propane service, and WiFi serve the practical needs. Johnson Hall State Historic Site—in Johnstown—is the 1763 Georgian-style manor house of Sir William Johnson, British Superintendent of Indian Affairs and the most politically influential colonial figure in the Mohawk Valley, whose relationships with the Haudenosaunee Confederacy and the colonial New York government shaped the northeastern frontier in the decades before the American Revolution. The site's historic interpretation of colonial-era Mohawk Valley politics and Johnson's role in the French and Indian War makes it the most substantive historical attraction in Fulton County. The Adirondack Animal Land—accessible from the campground within minutes—is Fulton County's wildlife preserve and petting zoo providing the family day-trip destination that combines the native Adirondack wildlife education with the hands-on animal encounter that younger visitors specifically request. The Adirondack Rail Trail's converted railroad corridor provides the cycling and walking access into the Adirondack foothills' lake and forest landscape that Fulton County's outdoor recreation calendar makes available from the Johnstown area. Royal Mountain Campground is open seasonally through New York's camping calendar. Summer brings the lake district's peak recreation season, with the Fulton County Lake Association's 44 lakes providing the boating and fishing calendar that makes this region a genuine destination rather than a transit corridor. Reserve early for the peak summer weeks and the Adirondack foliage season in October, fish the pond on arrival evening, and let Johnson Hall's colonial heritage and Granny's Ice Cream earn the Fulton County stay that the 44 Lakes district has been providing upstate New York families for generations.

Horseshoe Acres Campground

28 RV Sites

Horseshoe Acres Campground in Andover, Vermont, offers 28 RV sites in a quiet Green Mountain valley, with 30 and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 70 feet. A stream pull-through category joins back-in and pull-through tiers at both amperages, with an outdoor pool, mini-golf, game room, and boat and bike rentals. Twenty-eight sites span back-in water-and-electric 30-amp, pull-thru 30-amp, pull-thru 50-amp, and stream pull-thru water-and-electric 30-amp categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 70 feet. Confirm your tier, as the water-and-electric categories do not carry sewer at the site. The stream category is the one to request. Seventy feet is generous for a Vermont valley property. Trailer rentals round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with mini-golf, a game room, ping pong, volleyball, shuffleboard, horseshoes, walking trails, hiking, biking, bike rentals, boat rentals, paddle boats, a playground, pavilion, and dog park filling the rest. Live music and planned activities run through the season, and a golf course is nearby. Directions: from I-91 Exit 6, head north on VT-103 to VT-11, through the center of Chester, then west 3.5 miles to Andover-Weston Road.

Mt. Greylock Campsite Park

45 RV Sites

Mt. Greylock Campsite Park in Lanesborough, Massachusetts, offers 45 RV sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp water-and-electric service and rigs accepted to 40 feet, at the foot of the highest point in the state. Large and standard categories in both back-in and pull-through join a pool, pond, and recreation center. Forty-five sites run in standard back-in, large back-in, standard pull-through, and large pull-through categories carrying water and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp, sized to 40 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, and site WiFi — note there are no sewer hookups at the sites, though a dump station is available. The large categories give bigger rigs the room they need. Laundry, propane fills, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side, with a business center on site. Pets are welcome. An outdoor pool and a pond anchor the recreation, with swimming and fishing from the water and a recreation center, billiards, ping pong, basketball, volleyball, horseshoes, walking trails, and a playground filling the grounds. Hiking and biking run from the property, with planned activities through the season. Pets are welcome. Mount Greylock rises above at 3,491 feet — the highest point in Massachusetts, a 12,000-acre state reservation whose summit gives views across five states and whose Appalachian Trail traverse and monument-topped peak define the Berkshires' outdoor culture. The Berkshires run four seasons, with summer hiking, the cultural season, and October foliage all driving demand. Reserve well ahead for fall color.

Bonnie Brae Cabins & Campsites

24 RV Sites, 8 Cabins, 8 Tent Sites, 4 Onsite RV/Trailers

Situated in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, in the heart of the Berkshire Hills of western Massachusetts, Bonnie Brae Cabins and Campsites offers a comfortable base for guests exploring one of New England's most culturally and naturally rich regional destinations. The campground's cabin and rental trailer accommodations provide a furnished lodging alternative for guests who prefer a stationary retreat with access to the Berkshires' full range of outdoor and cultural offerings without the logistics of towing or driving a large rig through the hills. The campground's accommodation options—cabins and rental trailers—are suited to couples, families, and small groups seeking a convenient Berkshires base that does not require hauling camping equipment to a mountain destination. The property's positioning within the Pittsfield area keeps guests close to Pontoosuc Lake, where boating, fishing, and waterfront recreation are available just minutes from the campground, and Pittsfield State Forest, which provides hiking, mountain biking, and cross-country skiing trails through diverse Berkshire woodland terrain. The Berkshire Hills landscape surrounding Pittsfield is defined by rounded granite ridges and hardwood-forested hillsides that produce among the most celebrated fall foliage displays in the northeastern United States. The Housatonic River valley below the ridge line gives the region its characteristic mix of pastoral farmland, forested hillsides, and small-city cultural infrastructure that has drawn artists, writers, and musicians to the Berkshires since the 19th century. Seasonal walking, wildflower observation, and wildlife watching through the campground's surrounding forest add a natural dimension to stays focused primarily on the region's cultural programming. The Hancock Shaker Village, a short drive from Pittsfield, preserves one of the most intact 19th-century Shaker communities in the country—a living history site where the distinctive Shaker architecture, craftsmanship, and communal agricultural heritage are interpreted through guided tours and hands-on demonstrations. The broader Berkshires cultural scene encompasses Tanglewood Music Center in Lenox—the summer home of the Boston Symphony Orchestra—along with internationally recognized theater at Shakespeare & Company and Barrington Stage Company, and a dense concentration of galleries, antique dealers, and artisan studios across the county's small towns. Bonnie Brae Cabins and Campsites is open through the warm-weather season, with summer and fall representing the two peak periods. The summer arts season—anchored by Tanglewood's July and August concert schedule—brings the highest visitor volumes to the Berkshires, while October foliage season creates a second surge of demand across all accommodation types in the region. Advance reservations for cabin stays during Tanglewood weekends and peak fall color weeks are strongly recommended, as Berkshire County accommodations fill well ahead of those high-demand dates each year. The Housatonic River valley, which runs south through Berkshire County past Great Barrington and Sheffield, provides a scenic corridor for additional day trips and outdoor exploration for guests spending multiple days at the campground and looking to move beyond Pittsfield's immediate surroundings into the southern Berkshires. The Berkshire Hills themselves—the southernmost section of the Green Mountains that extend into western Massachusetts—reach elevations approaching 3,500 feet at Mount Greylock, the state's highest point, providing a mountain hiking experience accessible within a day trip from the campground.

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.

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.
