What is the significance of your Woodall’s Rating?
The Lake George RV Park has received the coveted Woodall’s Camping Guide’s 5W rating in BOTH recreation and facilities for 44 consecutive years! This places our Lake George resort in the top 100 campgrounds and RV Parks in the United States, and the ONLY RV resort in the United States that has maintained this rating for 44 consecutive years. We are visited annually by inspectors from Woodall’s who verify that our facilities and recreation amenities meet the expectations of the most discerning camper. While you may find other RV resorts that have recently acquired this high rating, we ARE STILL THE ONLY one that has continued to meet these standards year after year!

How far in advance should I make a reservation for an RV site?
We recommend making a reservation for your RV campsite in Lake George at least 8 weeks prior to your arrival date (16 weeks for holiday weekends: Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Americade Week, Columbus Day). However, we encourage campers to check availability with the Lake George RV Park even if your lead time is less than this. We begin taking phone, mail, and Internet reservations for the following calendar year beginning on the first business day in October each year.

Will my reservation request guarantee a specific RV campsite?
A confirmed campsite reservation ($100.00 to $216.00 deposit required - depending on date or reservation) guarantees an RV campsite for the dates specified at the time your reservation is made, not a specific campsite. We do encourage early reservations and requests for specific campsites, campsite areas, our wilderness Lodging in Lake George, or locations related to amenity preferences. We assign our campsites just prior to arrival, based on your requests and the date that your request and deposit was received.

Why don’t you confirm specific campsites?
It is our goal to provide you with an RV campsite that meets your expectations. Due to the volume of reservations received and the frequent changes in reservation status that occurs at our Lake George resort after a reservation is made, this policy enables us to meet a higher rate of satisfaction with our guests than if specific RV campsites were guaranteed in advance. For example, if a reservation was confirmed for a specific campsite in January, and subsequently cancelled 2 days prior to the scheduled date of arrival, it would be impossible for us to provide that campsite to a guest that has already been told it was not available in January. Under our policy, an RV campsite is assigned just prior to your date of arrival; this assures that your first requests are always considered. At that time, if we are unable to meet your first request we attempt to honor a second or third request you may have. Overall, this policy assures a higher level of satisfaction for the majority of our guests who come to our RV resort.

Do you allow Tent Camping?
As we are an RV Park, we do not allow tent camping on our sites. However, you may pitch one tent on your site, provided this tent is for sleeping purposes only.

What do you consider an RV?
Our definition of an RV (Recreational Vehicle) is a camping unit designed for road travel that is equipped with factory installed beds and at least two land-to-vehicle service connections (electric, water, or sewer) with electric being one of the two. For example: a travel trailer, fifth wheel, RV motor home, motor coach, custom private bus, folding camper/pop-up, truck (pickup) camper and camper van are considered an RV. A mini-van is not considered a camper van unless it meets the above criteria. In addition, we do not allow boats with cabins and hookups, to be used as RVs. If you do not have an RV as listed above, consider staying in one of the RV Parks Wilderness Lodging RV rentals, a smart alternative to Lake George hotels.

I have a large family. How many people can you have on one of your RV campsites?
In fairness to all of our Lake George guests, we limit the number of people on each site to a maximum of 8. This number includes your original party and any visitors you may have.

Where does your complimentary trolley shuttle stop and how often?
Currently, our trolley shuttle operates daily during the Lake George RV Park's Summer season (June 25th - September 5th) and on Saturdays Only from May 29th - June 19th and September 11th - October 9th (including Sun, May 30th & Sun, October 10th). We stop at all of our 11 in-Park stops each conveniently located near campsite and recreation areas. In addition, we make one out-of-Park stop at the Adirondack Outlet Store/Restaurant complex nearby. This trolley stop is conveniently located in the center of over 100 outlet stores and restaurants in Lake George. From the outlet center, you may connect with a municipal trolley that shuttles to other area attractions such as The Great Escape Amusement Park, Lake George Village and the City of Glens Falls for a nominal fee (approx $1.00). The Lake George RV Park trolley makes trips around the Park and to the Outlet Center every 20-30 minutes during the day and evening (exact starting and ending times vary). While the municipal trolley system is expected to be expanded in the near future, the current system may not handle rider demand at times.

What is your pet policy?
Pets must be leashed at all times while at our RV resort, cleaned up after and never be left alone at your site, in your RV or any other area of the park. Proof of rabies vaccination should be provided upon request. Pets should be kept quiet and not disturb other guests. Pets are not permitted in wilderness lodging in Lake George.

Do you have seasonal sites?
Yes, we do have a customizable seasonal site program. For instance, guests looking to stay the entire camping season could essentially book the discounted Spring Weekender Program, a reservation for the entire Summer season, and the discounted Fall Weekender Program. Our seasonal rate for this particular type of reservation is $6,535. All seasonal sites include sewer, water, electric (30 or 50 amp service) and cable television. If time commitments and budget prevent you from staying the entire camping season, shorter stays during the Summer season can be arranged and your rate will change accordingly. Daily off-site storage is available for $5/day for seasonal sites that are unable to stay the entire camping season. Winter off-site storage is also available for $390. To customize your own personal seasonal site and to get a price quote today, please contact us directly at (518) 792-3775. Rules and restrictions will apply.
