Lake George Schroon Valley Resort

I stayed here for one night as a shakedown trip with my new Jayco 197MB. I had planned on staying for 2 nights but a forecasted rainstorm and the fact that I was only 20 miles from home sent me home after one night. First the pro's - It's a small campground and the staff were extremely friendly and personable. There are approximately 140 sites and probably 95% had campers on them (a con), but there were only a handful of them occupied. I was able to get a riverside site. I was there on a weekday in September so there were no activities going on but I could tell there was plenty to do "in season". The con's - The sites are small and very tightly packed. Luckily most sites were unoccupied, except for one of my neighbors. The riverside sites are all back in, and you back in perpendicular to the campground road. Except for my two neighbors, they both had parked parallel to the campground road, and both looked to be seasonal/semi permanent residents. The one on my backside was connected to the water spigot for my site when I pulled in. I didn't see any signs of life, so I unhooked their hose. The one in my front yard was set up so that I got to enjoy whatever activity they were up to, which included watching their Roku TV late into the night, with all their seasonal camp lights on, while I was trying to enjoy a solo fire by the Riverside. Other con's included no Wi-Fi; sketchy cell service; no picnic table(most sites did have them, just not mine); and lots of road noise from the interstate just across the river. We camped at Lake George Schroon Valley Resort in a Travel Trailer.

I truly enjoyed this campground. The river was low enough while we were there to do some rockhounding. The water was crystal clear. The seasonal campers were very kind and welcoming to us as transients. Our site had plenty of room. Laundry room was clean and so was pool. Very close to all the local attractions. Bolton's Landing has lots of entertainment options. The park itself was laid out nicely with a real campground feel. I look forward to returning.

We camped here last weekend (RV). The campground itself is well maintained and the people are all super nice. The sites are VERY close together and there is no privacy. The site we were given didn't have grass - it was this dirty sand that was awful. We booked this campground because it said there was live music on Saturday night, only to find out that is at the "sister" campground 5 or 6 miles away. This was a huge disappointment for sure. Also, you had to pay for internet. Cable was very poor

Staff and campers were very friendly! Staff went out of their way to make sure we were good (even moving our site upon arrival). The river is clean and beautiful! The grounds are not designed for really large rigs. Low hanging trees and tight road conditions do exist. Nice pool. AT&T and Verizon were good but TMobile was nonexistent. They did have a WiFi available but didn't use it. Overall a great experience made better by meeting some great people!

This is the sister site of the Lake George Escape campground a few miles away. I've brought my RV to both campgrounds this summer and had a great experience at both.

This Schroon Valley site is the smaller campground and very quiet and peaceful even with all sites booked. It seems like there are more seasonal campers here. I cant say I agree with the past comments about seasonal sites being messy or unsightly...i only saw one older rig with a broken awning, every other site was nicely maintained, many seasonal site owners had put up decks, popups and decorated with flags and landscaping. The sites down below without sewer connections are more spacious - we stayed in #140 which is extra wide with space for the kids to play or for extra parking. The park host was very kind to help us out with this site assignment as we arrived a little after the 8pm check in cut off, and helped accommodate us in 140 after spot 43 proved to be too small to back our 26 ft trailer into. They offer firewood delivery to campsites and mobile pumpouts to the non-sewer sites.

There isn't much for activities at this site, but the good news is your stay entitles you to visit the sister site LG Escape to take advantage of the beach, tubing or paddling on the river, playground, restaurant and bar, rentals, movies or music in the park, etc.

It's very pleasant to walk around both sites, and the neighbors are all friendly. I had trouble removing my new hose from the water spigot and a neighbor lent me a wrench. The facilities are spartan but clean. I think I'd prefer to stay at the Schroon River site if I wanted a quiet stay, and if i was in the mood to be more social and active, I might choose to stay at the Escape site. I like that there's far less golf carts cruising around the Schroon River site...makes for a quieter stay.
