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.
