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.

Ausable Chasm Campground

83 RV Sites, 2 Cabins, 35 Tent Sites

Ausable Chasm Campground in Keeseville, New York, offers 83 RV sites, two cabins, and 35 tent sites directly across from the Ausable Chasm entrance, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 50 feet behind a gated entrance. Full-hookup categories at both amperages join a water-and-electric tier, with an outdoor pool, disc golf course, and recreation center. Eighty-three sites span 30-amp full hookup, 50-amp full hookup, and water-and-electric categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with site WiFi, sized to 50 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Confirm your tier before booking, as the water-and-electric category does not carry sewer at the site. Two cabins and 35 tent sites round out the lodging. A general store, boutique shop, laundry, propane fills, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with a disc golf course, recreation center, sports courts, basketball, volleyball, shuffleboard, horseshoes, walking trails, hiking, biking, mountain biking, a playground, and dog park filling the rest. Boating, swimming, picnicking, and productive birding round it out. The chasm is the reason to stay here and it justifies the trip. The AuSable River has carved 500-million-year-old Potsdam sandstone into one of the most dramatic geological features in the Northeast, and the entrance is directly across the road. Lake Champlain, Plattsburgh, and the Adirondack High Peaks are all close. Summer is the season on the Adirondack Park's northeastern edge, with foliage drawing a strong September. Reserve well ahead for July and August.

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.

Twin Ells RV Park

7 RV Sites

Twin Ells RV Park in West Chazy, New York, offers seven full-hookup RV sites with water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp service, sized for rigs to 59 feet, with an outdoor pool, a lake, a recreation center, and a ball field on site. Established in 1970, it has run as a family campground in the Champlain Valley for more than 50 years. Seven back-in sites carry full hookups with 30 and 50-amp service, taking rigs to 59 feet, with picnic tables. Laundry, propane fills, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side, and WiFi reaches the property. With seven sites, this is a small operation — book early rather than counting on availability. On-site amenities are generous for the scale. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, a lake sits on the property, and a recreation center, ball field, playground, and ping pong fill out the calendar. Swimming runs from the property. Pets are welcome. The park takes its name from the twin wives of founders Edward Labossiere and Clarence Lewis — Hattie and Maddie — and three generations of Champlain Valley families have returned to it since. West Chazy sits in Clinton County on US-9 and NY-9B, 10 miles north of Plattsburgh. Lake Champlain fishing, Adirondack foothills hiking, and the Plattsburgh area's historical attractions are all within day-trip range, and the Canadian border is close enough that cross-border traffic is a steady part of the market. The park runs the northern New York season. Summer is peak, and with only seven sites, weekends book out well ahead. Cancellations and date changes are accepted up to seven days before arrival for a full refund less the booking fee.

Shady Oaks Camping Resort

12 RV Sites, 2 Tent Sites, 1 Glamping Site

Shady Oaks Camping Resort in Plattsburgh, NY, offers 12 full-hookup RV sites, 4 tent sites, and 1 glamping site, with 20 and 30-amp service and room for rigs up to 40 feet. Sites come in two categories, back-in 30-amp and pull-thru 30-amp, both carrying water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi, a fire pit, and a picnic table. Note the electrical: service is 20 and 30-amp, so a rig wired for heavier draw will need an adapter and some load management. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, a community fire pit, and recycling cover the rest. Pets are welcome. Horseshoes, corn hole, and picnicking fill the shaded grounds, with the lake and beach a short walk. Plattsburgh sits on the western shore of Lake Champlain in the North Country between the Adirondack foothills and Vermont's Green Mountains. The campground is three quarters of a mile from the City Beach. Rates for every accommodation type are on the booking page. Twelve sites near Lake Champlain in a short northern season — reserve well ahead for summer.

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.

Smugglers Notch RV Village

57 RV Sites

Smugglers Notch RV Village in Cambridge, Vermont, offers 56 full-hookup RV sites in the northern Green Mountains, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 47 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. Deluxe back-in and deluxe pull-through 20/30/50-amp categories join 20/30-amp back-in and pull-through tiers, with a disc golf course and zip line. Fifty-six sites span back-in 20/30-amp, pull-through 20/30-amp, deluxe back-in 20/30/50-amp, and deluxe pull-through 20/30/50-amp categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric with site WiFi, sized to 47 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. If your rig needs 50-amp, book a deluxe category — the standard tiers top out at 30. A general store, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. The campground is seasonal, typically opening in mid-May and closing at the beginning of November, so confirm current dates before planning a shoulder-season trip. A disc golf course and zip line anchor the on-site recreation, with corn hole and picnicking filling the rest. The amenity set is modest by design — the Green Mountains are the attraction, and the park is built as a comfortable base for reaching them. Pets are welcome. Smugglers Notch itself is the rugged pass above town that once served as a smuggling route into Canada, and it is now one of Vermont's most dramatic drives. Stowe, Mount Mansfield, and Lamoille County's villages and breweries are all close. Summer and foliage season drive demand hard. Reserve well ahead for July through mid-October.

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.
