Fort Ticonderoga

[gradygal]

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

Lake Champlain? No ferry on the Hudson in fact VT is not on the Hudson river.

Probably meant the Ft Ticonderoga Ferry that crosses near the Fort to Larrabees Point Vt.

Boy, all these years I thought that was the Hudson, DA big time.
Anyway, wonderful trip.

Take a look at Lake Dunmore Kampersville or the State Park. Lake Bomoseen KOA is also fairly close via ferry.

This place is very kid friendly. Paved roads, but sites are kinda close together. Worst part about the CG is traffic heading towards Rte 9. Can take quite sometime to get thru.

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.

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.

Enjoy!

X3 on day trip from Lake George. Was about 18 yrs ago at Lake George Escape.

Ausable Chasm is worth a day trip also, maybe 30 minutes north of the Fort if I remember.

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 in Lake George and did a day trip to the Fort and Lake Placid. From Lake George we went to Maine via route 4.

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...

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!
