Lake George RV Park Blog

NFL football fans across country are fired up for the Super Bowl at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapois. Demand for RV parking spaces at the Super Bowl has increased so rapidly in recent years that this year the NFL has designated an additional two massive parking lot complexes exclusively for RV use. Premium RV parking in NFL lots within easy walking distance of the stadium and dozens of scheduled tailgate parties will set you back $900!!

Football fans from 27 states have already reserved their parking space near Lucas Oil Stadium for Super Bowl XLVI. Some are traveling as far as 1,855 miles away, while locals as close as a few miles away aren’t taking any chances come Super Bowl Sunday and have also locked in their parking.

Who will you be rooting for in Sunday’s historic Super Bowl Rematch? The New York Giants or New England Patriots? Visit the Park on Facebook HERE and tell us!

Happy Groundhogs Day!

If it is cloudy when a groundhog climbs from its burrow, then spring will come early. If it is sunny, the groundhog will see its shadow and retreat back into its burrow, and the winter weather will continue for six more weeks!

Groundhogs Day advocates claim that the Groundhogs prediction are accurate 75%-90% of the time. However, the National Climatic Data Center reports that overall accuracy of the predictions have a 39% rate.

Today, out of the 23 official groundhog celebrations, 20 groundhogs predicted an early Spring, while 3 predicted 6 more weeks of Winter. What are you hoping for, Spring or 6 more weeks of Winter?

The recent weather has been cold enough to freeze the Bass Pond. The pond was stocked with Bass & Grass Carp in the fall and they will live there all Winter long. Before the Park opens in May, the pond will be stocked again with Minnows that serve as food for the fish that live in the pond year round.

Lake George still isn’t frozen but many locals are patiently waiting as the Lake George Ice Fishing Season is upon us and the Winter Carnival is rapidly approaching. What are your Winter hobbies?

It’s always a strange feeling to be driving through the park this time of year. The sites are empty, just covered by a think layer of snow. No campfires, grills burning, or people at the pool. Just icy roads and 10 degree weather! Its times like these that make you miss Summer even more. We’ve already started counting until opening day, May 4th. Just 109 days left!!

We had our first snowfall in weeks last Thursday. The snow snuck around for a few days but disappeared fairly quick. However, Lake George is anticipating more to come in the next two nights. We hope its not too much! It’s hard to believe that it’s only a few short months until the gates open and another camping season is upon us!

We had to take a picture after this last snowfall. The sun was beginning to set and was shining right down on French Mountain. Has it been a snowy Winter where you live? Log into Facebook and tell us!
