Nice quiet campground. Owners are very friendly and go out of their way to help. They just put in 8 new pull-thru sites for larger rigs. Only drawback is sites are close together. Great place if you are traveling with friends. I will return. Gives 10% discount for FMCA. Many seasonal sites down by the river. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park does not begin to represent the ratings given it by Trailer Life. Upon our arrival, we found it has not been kept up, and there are numerous permanent residents that do not help its appearance. Our river site was dirt, no grass. One would not want to be there in the rain (mud). Wi-Fi was strange, doled out in 30 minute increments that one had to return to the office to renew, only if the office was open. Laundry facilities appeared marginal. This park is some 15 miles from Lake George village, not at all convenient. Our friends had a pull-thru site that was very difficult to get into and out of. This is not a "big-rig" park. Pool was drained. Water pressure too low to use without our on board pump. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Older park but in good shape. Helpful staff. Sites are a mixture of dirt and gravel. Gravel interior roads. Sites are fairly level. Some shade. Bathrooms are older but very clean and plentiful. The campground is in the "boonies" but does have traffic noise from I87. WiFi is not full time, but 15 minutes 4 times a day. Cell phone is Verizon country.(AT&T no signal) We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a decent campground . Pull through sites are of acceptable size . Gravel roads make the cg dusty. Electrical voltage is at the bottom of what's acceptable (50amp). The river access to the Schroon river is a great feature . Lake George is a pristine lake . We will return We camped here in a Motorhome.
We have a dually/36' high-profile fifth wheel. Our back-in site was quite large but narrow roads left little space to get positioned - luckily a Good Samaritan staff member, who was a trucker, backed my huge rig in. And even for him it took many forward and backward manoeuvres!!! Many other sites were small and closely situated. The park was in woods - lovely if that's what you like. Some sites were more open and pull-through. Better all round. A grubby, run-down park which needed renovation but despite that, nearly full - no competitors to worry about. One snowy, antenna TV channel. Voucher limited WiFi (4x15 minutes a day)worked well - better than nothing. The staff were friendly and helpful but one was po-faced and off-hand (owner?) Restrooms were primitive - not used, just inspected. Very expensive and not good value. Would not visit again - not recommended. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Lovely place. We had a spot right on the river.. good size lot. Owners are very friendly! Nice pools. Clean campgrounds, clean river! Will come again! We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
WOW - What a great time! The staff was very accommodating! The pool was a little busy, but large enough to hold everyone. The store was very nice, the food was great and reasonably priced. We traveled here with a Girl Scout group and had a great weekend! Can't wait to go back! We camped here in a Campground Cabin.
This a nice park, easy off and on to the Interstate if you need a spot for a couple of days. However for the second year in a row we went there under the assumption that they would honor Passport America, and for the second year in a row, they have changed their restrictions with Passport America, only after the directory has been published. This time there was a twist, not only would they not honor Passport America , they will no longer honor Good Sam, and as a further twist, the week we chose to drop by has been changed from an off peak time to a peak period. I doubt the 3 other campers who came in that day would call it peak period. As a result of their changes our rate was an $11.00 increase over last year. If not for their changes we may have stayed longer. It is a nice campground, but it is not worth $38.00 a night. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We camped here for Labor Day Weekend. They had activities and music throughout the weekend. Overall it was a good visit. But the staff (as previously reviewed) was not friendly at all. One in the office was sarcastic and not friendly, as well as the craft ladies. The crafts were scheduled on the hour, but if you showed up at ten after, they gave you dirty looks and were already packing up craft supplies. Very nice campsites and Wi-Fi throughout the camp-which my Techy Husband loved. The bathrooms were somewhat dirty due to massive rainstorms we had. The campground was reasonably quiet. We camped here in a Tent.
Vary nice park with a staff that we found friendly and helpful. The park was clean and in nice condition. We liked the quiet and there were no barking dog problems during the day or night. Other then the person next to us trying to put his satellite dish on my space we had no problems. We will be going back. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We found the campground and staff need lessons on welcoming someone to the campground. The attitudes of staff were not friendly or professional, with the exception of one older gentleman who may have been one of the owners. The campground was quiet at night and clean but the bathrooms were ridiculous. It is hard to believe they even passed the towns building codes. You could not open the bathroom stall completely and had to walk side ways to fit down the aisle. Neither pay phones worked and we could not get a cell phone signal. Advised the campground staff person that the pay phones did not work and she informed me that was not their responsibility. My husband bought a paper in the camp store and when he realized the paper which was 3 days old the store staff would not take the paper back! With friendlier staff and renovated bathrooms this campground could be a fun place to go. The Schroon River was the best, we really enjoyed it. We will be checking out some of the other campgrounds along the river. We will not be returning to this campground. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Campground and staff need lessons on welcoming someone to the campground. Attitudes by staff and owner were such that you question yourself about ever returning. Seasonals were not friendly, and gave one the impression that they own the place. Campground was quiet at night, but sure had it's supply of barking dogs by day. Was not big rig friendly, trees, branches, and the site was not level either. With changes in attitudes, could be a fun place to use. As we live close by, less than 50 miles, would have liked to have found a campground to use on weekends without the nonsense. We will not return, and will go somewhere else. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I am not one to review campgrounds often, but have to rave about Schroon Valley Resort. CLEAN is the best way to describe it....spotless! The staff was friendly, and let us change our site last minute to gain privacy. Despite a very rainy weekend, we found the campsite in our top three ever...we camped riverfront with a pop-up. The site was large, and despite the mosquitoes (lots of rain lately in the Adirondacks) we found the river noise very soothing. The site was a little pricey ($35/night for waterfront, plus $4/night per child for a total of $47/night) but worth every penny. I wish every campground we've stayed in were as attentive to detail. Thanks for a great trip! We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Overnighted here. Was quiet, clean, and scenic next to river. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
After making reservations in winter & driving 5 hours to the region with our family & friends, we were told our friends couldn't have the site they had reserved because another camper had parked there by mistake & they wouldn't be asking him to move. They couldn't have the river site they paid for. Then we drove our trailer down to our site, it was the smallest site. We have a modest 30' trailer with a 16" slide and there was no way to fit it in the site! The manager said we could have another site away from the river. From the discussion with the campers on either sides of our site, they have had many problems here. I asked for a refund, (which was this places only saving grace) and all of us drove out & found another campground. Should have known it would be a bad experience when we never received any letter of confirmation of our paid in full reservation & lack of follow up to emails and phone calls. We were looking for a less costly Lake George camping vacation and certainly got what we paid for! I would not recommend this place to any friend or family - there are far too many other places in the region! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
