Lake George New York

We're planning on going to NY in July and staying at Lake George RV Resort. Any suggestions on which sites are best? Our MH is 30' and DW likes full hook ups. I'm a history buff so what are the historical locations in the area and how far is it to the Canadian border in case we want to run up there?
  • Has anyone tried the bike trails in Lake George? My grandson and I are bikers when the opportunity presents itself and LG sounds like it has some great trails to ride.
  • I just discovered the Trolley doesn't start running until June 28th and we're only there June 21-28. Oh well, we're still going to have a great time. Got the rental car and our RV site lined up today so we're raring to go!! :B
  • Best campground! Cannot wait for another visit. If you want to see the shows at the French Mountain Theatre, try to get a site near there or else you can hope on the free trolly.
  • Should be able to get a rental in Glens Falls, about 5 miles south of the park.
    30 miles south will bring you to Saratoga (health, history, horses) and a bit east to the Saratoga Battlefield. Lake George has the Fort William Henry on the south end and Fort Ticonderoga on the north end. Blue Mountain museum of Adirondack history is well worth the drive there. Enjoy.
  • Thanks y'all. We're looking forward to the trip. We've had passports for years since we cruise frequently.

    I was told there is a car rental agency in a nearby town. Can anyone confirm. We don't toad so I'll need a rental.
  • Fort Ticonderoga is well worth a visit.
    We prefer the upper section of LGRVP.
  • The Adirondack Museum in Blue Mountain Lake will give you a good primer on the local history.
  • the campground is one of our favorites but most of the sites are not too level. Ask about that when you register and don't be afraid to go back and request a different site if you don't like the one they have you on. They are very accommodating.
  • The distance from Lake George RV Resort to the Canadian border is 127 miles, about 2 hours on I-87. Be advised, if you go into Canada: "Under the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative, a United States passport or other approved WHTI document is necessary for US citizens traveling from the US to Canada." We have stayed at the lower sites, plenty of room and facilities nearby. Really, not a bad section that we could see. Expensive, but lots of organized activities for the kids.
