We are planning a trip to Ticonderoga. Can anyone recommend a good campground near the Fort. Full hookups if possible. We plan to stay 3 days and then head to Maine. Thanks
Can’t help you with a recommendation as I haven’t stayed at any of the nearby places, but as a local to the general area I would be remiss if I didn’t extend warmest greetings for your stay whenever you come through and also safe travels along the way. It sounds like you’ve got a great trip planned!
Brookwood is nice... older CG and a little tight to get in and out. But a great couple running it and they plan on being in for the long term. Firewood, beer, soda and other typical items at the camp store... they also have lists as a concierge would provide for activities, dining, and shopping. They also rent canoes and kayaks- Ti itself has some really neat things to do as well; the museme in town is a great stop, good BBQ joint on main street... Be sure to hit the dairy barn up the road... PM me for more details if needed... we spent Independence Day there last year... cool parade and fair by the falls in town. We day tripped up to Lake Placid as well...
We stayed in Lake George at a park called Ledge View. Nice park with plenty of trees for shade, a nice pool area, and while you're just outside the village it's quite peaceful in the park. We also visited the fort from this location and then headed east to Bar Harbor traveling through Vermont and New Hampshire, camping near Mt. Washington in Twin Mountain, NH. You can catch U.S.2 easily from there.
We stayed at Yogi bear a few miles north. After touring the fort, we took the ferry to Vermont on our way to New Hampshire and Mount Washington. Fifth wheel and truck was $15 to cross the Hudson.
Highly recommend staying a little bit south of there in the lake George region. That area is a good launch point for exploring the Adirondack region. We personally like Moose Hillock Campground as they have huge full hook-up wooded sites and a really cool pool! It's also only a short drive into the village of Lake George.
Although we've never been there, have heard that Ausable Chasm campground is nice. Jimbee is correct on Moosehillock. Not necessarily the cheapest CG, but the nicest/best one in the area IMO. Try not to get a site right next to or past the security shack tho. Lots of dust. Opt for one away from main entrance.
