Lake George Battlefield State Park is one of the quietest places in Lake George that offers so much.

My tent is almost against my neighbors tent, I literally could gear him in there this morning while I was trying to sleep. If it's camping with nature that you are after, this is not the place.

Read moreA scenic and happening place with lots of shops on one side of the Great Lake George situated in the heart of Adirondack region in the town of same name. There is a battlefield (some historic battle between French and Britain happened here pre-independence era) but dint enter the battlefield or museum area.

Pin spot booking is available. On normal day- it’s pretty less crowded but on weekends during summer, you will see crowd. Ample food store and restrooms are there. A true...
