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.

Pine Hollow Campground

49 RV Sites, 3 Tent Sites

Pine Hollow Campground in Pownal, Vermont, offers 49 full-hookup RV sites and three tent sites in a small scenic valley at the southwestern corner of the state, with 30 and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 45 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. A spring-fed stocked trout pond with paddleboat rentals and a beach anchors a genuinely traditional New England campground. Forty-nine sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp in back-in and pull-through configurations, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, cable TV, and site WiFi. Pull-through sites are limited, so request one if the largest motorhomes need drive-through access. Three tent sites cover simpler camping. A general store, laundry, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. The stocked trout pond is the centerpiece — spring-fed, with paddleboat and boat rentals, fishing, and a beach. A green meadow bordered by towering pines gives the campground its setting, with a playground, pavilion, horseshoes, shuffleboard, and picnicking filling the grounds. This is a campground rather than a destination resort, and in a region where the best sites have largely been commercialized, that character is much of the appeal. Pets are welcome. Pownal sits in Bennington County where the Berkshires extend north into Vermont's wooded hollows, less than 10 miles from both Bennington, Vermont and Williamstown, Massachusetts. Directions from the north: from the junction of Route 7 and Route 9 in Bennington, take Route 7 south 6.4 miles, left onto Barbers Pond Road 1.5 miles, right onto Old Military Road half a mile, then follow the Pine Hollow signs. Fall foliage is the peak — 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.

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.

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.

Spacious Skies Woodland Hills

136 RV Sites, 18 Tent Sites, 1 Cottage, 3 Onsite RV/Trailers

Spacious Skies Woodland Hills in Austerlitz, New York, offers 139 RV sites, a cottage, and 18 tent sites in the upper Hudson Valley, with 20 and 30-amp service and rigs accepted up to 100 feet. A Cosmic Canine pull-through category for guests with dogs joins lakeview, full-hookup, and water-and-electric back-in tiers, with an outdoor pool, beach, and jumping pillow. One hundred thirty-nine sites span back-in, water-and-electric back-in, lakeview back-in, and Cosmic Canine pull-thru categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with site WiFi, sized to 100 feet. Confirm your tier before booking, as the water-and-electric categories do not carry sewer at the site, and check amp service with the campground for your rig — the category names and the resort record do not fully agree. One hundred feet is exceptional for the Northeast. A cottage, Riverside Retro trailers, and 18 tent sites round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. An outdoor pool and beach anchor the summer, with a lake and pond supporting boating, paddle boats, fishing, and swimming. A jumping pillow, gem mining, volleyball, basketball, corn hole, a playground, pavilion, community fire pit, and dog park fill the rest. Columbia County sits where the Berkshire Hills meet the Catskill foothills, with Tanglewood, Hancock Shaker Village, and the Hudson Valley's art corridor close. Summer and fall foliage drive demand. Reserve well ahead.

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.

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 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.
