Our family has camped at Ledgeview RV Park several times over the past 10 years and have always been more than happy with our stay. It’s one of the most well maintained campgrounds we know of.

Ledgeview RV Park is located a few miles south of Lake George, on NY Route 149. The first thing you notice about the park when you enter is how clean and impeccably maintained everything is. The gated entrance is wide with plenty of room for even the largest rigs to park and check in. The entire property is tastefully landscaped. The staff is friendly and helpful and check in has always been quick and easy.

Interior roads are paved, relatively wide and I believe that just about every site is easy to get into. The park is located in fairly dense white pine forest and most of the sites are shaded. There are about 100 level, comfortably large gravel sites, about 60 of which are full-hookup (30 amps), including a generous CATV lineup.

Restrooms and showers are very well maintained. The campstore is small, with a limited selection of groceries and RV supplies including firewood. Other amenities include a large pool, rec hall, small game room. playground, shuffleboard, horseshoes, and rec field.

While the park has amenities to keep the kids happy, they may get boared after a day or two… the pace here is noticeably laid back. Summer nights here include quiet conversation around a campfire or a casual stroll around the park. Of the many times weve stayed here we’ve yet to see a rowdy party or screaming kids running amock through the park.

One of Ledgeview’s greatest attractions is it’s proximity to New York’s Adirondack Mountains and the Lake George area. There is so much to see and do just a few miles away… steamboat cruises on beautiful Lake George, Six Flags Great Escape Theme Park, outlet shopping, golfing, hiking, bicycling and more. You can easily spend a week here and just scratch the surface.

We’ve stayed at quite a few campgrounds all over the country in the past 25 years, and Ledgeview RV Park is easily one of our top 10!

Upon arriving at Alpine Lake Resort, the posted photos match what they have on their website. When we arrived at our site the campers in the surrounding area told me that they had “shoe horns” to help us into our site. They were NOT kidding.

A nice site right on the water… but… not meant for a rig of our size. The roads and sites on our side of the campground were tight and narrow and attention was a must at all times when coming and going. You could tell who camped regularly and who never did by the way they “flew” thru the campground roads.

Activities were not an everyday occurance and the extra charge for children was a cause for questioning. The arcade was only open if the vendor felt like opening it up. The facilities at the campground were in need of updating, one bath house near the pool did not even have bulbs in it.

The staff were all nice and friendly. We came here the end of July, beginning of August 2011

We checked in to Liberty Harbor RV Park on a day that was 105 to 110 degree hot. We paid $50, plus tax, for no electricity, no water site.

We went to New York City for the whole day, and could not wait to have an air conditioned accommodation. After we got back to our RV around 7pm or 8pm. we cooled down and relaxed. At 11 pm, the security guard asked us to stop the electricity generator. We had to drive to Wal-Mart at midnight so we can park for free, and being able to have air conditioning.

I have camped at Rivers Bend Campground numerous times with my family over the past few years. This is one of the best campgrounds I have ever stayed at. I have no complaints about the staff except for lack of organization.

On our last trip to Rivers Bend we had a party of 8. The owner shows you to the site and makes sure everything is up to your standards. The campround is very quiet as it should be. There is a nice river (hence the name). Swimming and tubing is great. The newly installed pool is very clean. Also in previous accounts of the campground you may have heard that the owner personally dumps your sewer for you. This is especially nice.

The campground landscape is absolutely perfect. There are plenty of trees for shade and the senic river right next to your site.

Rivers Bend is one of the best campgrounds i have ever been to!

Finally! After a long, cold and snowy New England winter, camping season was officially here. Yeah, I know… it’s only May and I remember plenty of cold and rainy Memorial Day weekends, but even a bad weather vacation day is far better than a good day at work.

Our first camping trip of the year has always been an opportunity to see how well the RV made it through storage… but this year was different. We traded in the old RV for a brand new 38′ Class A and this was the first real opportunity to play with our new toy.

Ledgeview Village RV Park has been a regular stop for us over the past 15 years and we’ve never been disappointed. Since it’s been a year or two since our last stay, we decided to make it our first trip of the season.

Ledgeview Village is located about midway between Glens Falls and Lake George, New York, just west of US Route 9 on NY Route 149. The first thing you notice when you enter the campground is that this park is beautifully maintained. The gated property is always neatly mowed and landscaped. The paved entrance is wide and accommodating with plenty of room even during busy check-in periods. The owners and staff are friendly and accommodating. I stopped in about an hour after check-in to pick up some literature about the area and the person at the front desk went out of her way to ask about my interests and then pointed out a few publications that had what I was looking for.

The entire property is set in a forest of tall white pine. Most of the campground buildings are a rustic adirondack architecture. Interior roads are paved and well maintained, although a some are a little narrow. Nevertheless getting around won’t be a problem even if you’ve got a larger rig. Campsites are gravel, fairly level and comfortably large. Full hook-ups (30 & 50 amp) also include cable TV with an impressive amount of channels. Each campsite has a large picnic table and fire ring. The only problem we’ve had with our site was the amount of pine pitch that drips from the trees… but just about all the sites here are under pines so you just have to deal with it. Tents and pets are not permitted at this campground.

The laundry, restrooms and showers are clean and well maintained. Showers also include private dressing rooms. The park campstore has a good selection of basic groceries and camping supplies including ice and firewood. Park amenities include a large pool, recreation hall, pavilion, game goom, shuffleboard, horseshoes, children’s playground and “funcycle” rentals. Be aware that there are no scheduled events, so more active kids may become a bit bored. The Glens Falls/Lake George however is a great place to explore with the kids. The Great Escape/Splashwater Kingdom, a Six Flags theme park is just a few minutes away from the campground.

Ledgeview’s rates are very reasonable, considering the fact that the Lake George area is a bit on the expensive side. I would suggest buying your groceries and gas before you leave as prices are generally much higher here.

On the downside… the seasonal sites seem to be located throughout the park, with a number of them as you first enter, and there seem to be a few more every time we return. We all have a tendency to add a personal touch or two, but some of these sites are starting to resemble mini golf courses with statues, flags, low voltage lighting and painted rocks. Clean but cluttered.

Ledgeview Village RV Park is indeed what their ads boast: clean, peaceful, quiet and convenient. We confidently recommend this park.

Champlain Adult Campground is in an excellent location and has great facilities, but we do not expect to return because camping should be enjoyable and relaxing.

We are a NYC-based professional couple in our 30’s, we drive a VW Westfalia, and we have camped all over the U.S. -Martha’s Vineyard, Glacier National Park, Bahia Honda, Big Sur. We’re experienced.

In August of 2009 we booked a week of outdoor fun at Lake Champlain Adult Campground. It seemed like the nicest property in the area. Hands down the facilities and location are outstanding: manicured grounds, spacious sites, gorgeous views, clean restrooms, nice fellow campers. But by the end of our (shortened) stay we decided not to return.

The posted speed limit is in this campground is 5 mph. And 10, even for the first 100 yards upon on arrival might as well be a felony. -We learned the hard way. It was 4 pm, we’ve been driving for 6 hours, we’re anxious to get to camp, and we almost miss the turn because the road sign is a bit small. No biggie, we think, and we turn in at about 15 mph. A man (JC) was cutting the lawn, and right away he yelled at us to slow down. We slowed down quickly, but safely, and continue toward the office. When he got to the office he reminded us: “Five MPH is the cardinal rule!” and “seasonal campers are number one around here, and they don’t like dust!” Despite our apologetic response, this is how things began.

After realizing who we were and that we had paid in advance for most of our stay, JC took us to our site. Very nice. Since it was getting dark, our focus was setting up, but JC returned twice in the space of two hours to collect the rest of the fee. And he could not accept a debit or credit card payment. Cash or check only. We apologized again and explained that we would get cash as soon as we had a chance to go to an ATM, and we continued to set up camp. Then we departed to visit some friends nearby. Dinner at our friend’s home turned into an overnight stay, so job one upon our return to camp the next morning was to pay the fee. Cash. In full.

The next few days we had a good time swimming in the beautiful lake and dock area, running, biking, cooking out, and enjoying the spectacular sunsets and other scenery. But JC never seemed far away. I felt like we were under constant surveillance.

Our friends. She is 70 and he is 80. We met them on the beach of the Bay Islands on our honeymoon. They have owned an historic camp in Grand Isle for 40 years. Since they were so gracious on our first night in Grand Isle, we wanted to return the favor: Home-made paella cooked over an open fire in my Dutch oven, and a good Malbec. Things were fine until JC showed up just dinner to let us know that our guests had “parked in the wrong place” and “Who are you? Why haven’t you registered? I pay $35,000 per year here in liability insurance, and guests are required to pay a $6 visitor fee”. We enjoyed the rest of the evening, but in the morning my wife and I decided to cut short our stay.

We departed unannounced two days before we had planned to go and we spent an impromptu additional two days in Montreal before retuning to our home in New York City.

We represent the future of upscale camping. This campground is in a gem of a location but we will not return. Our suggestion: raise your rates a bit, hire professional to manage your resort, and stay out of the way. Until then, we’ll camp elsewhere.

We love this campground! It’s so clean and the staff is very friendly. They have immaculate laundry rooms and plenty of campwide activities from golf cart parades to Hawaiian parties. Clean pools and nice camp store.

The park is extremely clean and the pond is great for fishing for bucket mouths. This will be our third season here and we will be here for a long long time to come. There are grocery stores and also a Wal-Mart and Home Depot very nearby as well as the Racino gambling casino in Saratoga about 40 minutes away. What more could you ask for?

I rate this campground 5 stars and recommend it to all my friends!

Last month we had one of the most enjoyable camping weekends in a long time at Lake George Escape. The staff was friendly and courteous. The grounds and facilities were clean and well maintained. Our site had full hookups and was comfortably large.

They have a very nice restaurant “Cafe Alfresco” centrally located in the middle of the property with very good food at reasonable prices. They offer all kinds of activities including miniature golf, canoeing, river tubing and more. Nice pool! Several nights a week they have a DJ and line dancing lessons.

Lake George Escape is easy to get to from I-87 (the Northway) and is convenient to Lake George and nearby attractions, there’s simply no better place from which to enjoy all that the Lake George area offers.

Bring your bug spray… about the only annoying thing about this place is the mosquitoes. They were brutal.

Apple Island Resort is located in the Champlain Valley Region of northwestern Vermont. The resort is approximately 6 miles from I-89, exit 17 on US Route 2.  Apple Island Resort includes a campground, a 9-hole golf course, marina and general store. 

We arrived on a Friday afternoon in July for a weekend stay. The drive up I-89 from New Hampshire is absolutely beautiful and this part of Vermont’s Champlain Valley is especially picturesque. Our check-in was quick and the front desk attendants were friendly and efficient.

The campground is fairly large (242 sites on 188 acres). The property is a mix of open, sunny areas and tree shaded. The grassed areas and landscaping was neat and well maintained. The bathrooms, showers and laundry facilities were all newer construction, very clean and well stocked.

The major interior roads were paved and well maintained. The side roads were packed gravel, some a tad narrow but still in good condition and navigable to even the largest RVs. Our pull-thru site was level and a confortable size with plenty of room for our awning and slide outs. All sites have a picnic table and a fire ring.

Campground amenities include a large new “community” center with a fitness room, library (with an Internet-enabled PC), and a large function room. Next to the community center is an Olympic-size heated swimming pool and hottub, restrooms, showers and a laundry room.  There are two other restroom buildings located elsewhere in the campground.

The resort also has a small, 9-hole par 3 “executive” golf course and a full service marina… definitely amenities that set this campground apart from most.

Rounding out the feature list is a small playground, walking and biking trails and a respectable schedule of activities for both kids and adults. There is a general store located at the entrance to the campground. The store stocks groceries and camping supplies. They also serve breakfast and lunch items. The campground is also “pet-friendly”.

The resort has a great wi-fi system. I noticed several hotspots as we walked through the property and we were able to “see” several of them from our site. The signal was strong and consistant.

Apple Island Resort is a great campground to spend a few days and a perfect base for exploring this part of Vermont and Upstate New York. That said, it’s not without a flaw or two…

At least half of the sites at this campground are either permanent vacation “homes” or for seasonal campers. While that may not be a factor for some, we do find that it takes a bit away from the camping experience. I will say that these permanent sites are clean and very well maintained, which is more than I can say for most campgrounds.

With the high number of permanent sites (as well as the golf course) comes a lot of golf cart traffic. It wasn’t unusual to see several carts buzzing past our site at a time throughout the day (and evening). If you’ve got little ones, keep an eye out for them… carts don’t make much noise.

Apple Island Resort also boasts of a snack bar, which we were looking forward to trying… but it was closed. One of the resort employees told us that they did not open it this year because they were trying to get their general store off the ground and the snack bar would be competition.

And while we’re on the subject of the general store, most of the items on the shelves don’t have prices. What’s up with that? You find out what something costs when you check out (an it’s usually too expensive). That’s very inconsiderate to customers and it stopped us and a few others from spending money there.

There is no cable TV at this campground. However Burlington, Vermont and Plattsburg, NY are within signal distance so you can receive the major networks, including the digital subchannels with an antenna.

While the campground does have rules, there always seems to be campers who feel they are the exception. Every night there were quite a few kids riding their bikes through the campground in total darkness. There were also a group of campers who felt the need to test the limits of their stereo and play their music as loud as possible all day long. We really felt sorry for the campers near this group. I know if we had a site near this group, we would have left for another campground. They did at least have enough courtesy to tone it down during quiet hours.

That being said, Apple Island Resort is still a wonderful campground. It’s well maintained, has lots of amenities and it’s located in a beautiful part of Vermont. It’s just not for us.

This Adirondack RV resort park has everything you want in an RV/camping resort – sunny sites or treed sites depending on your preference. The park can accommodate up to 40 ft. motorhomes and has full hook-ups. It also provides cabin rentals that are really nice.

We had had no problems with aircard access, cell phone problems (we have Verizon for both) and open sites receive satellite service just fine.
The park has river access, a pool, pavillion, store, children’s play area, entertainment, horseshoes, kid’s game room, etc. The restrooms are immaculate and the staff are always there to help.

The location of the resort is great as well as you are close to Lake George and not far from Saratoga, Lake Placid, Schroon Lake, Montreal, and Lake Champlain.

The two “best features” of the park are Linda and Leroy who manage it every season. They not only keep it in tip-top shape, but are two of the nicest and most generous and accommodating people you could ever meet. They both make your stay a delight.

While the campground is not a new one, it certainly is a lovely one and improvements are being made as we speak to update it and improve it.

We definitely would recommend this campground to families, couples, retirees. There are amenities for every age and every taste at Adirondack Adventures Schroon River Resort.
