Lake George Escape Campground is a fantastic place to stay! With around 600 sites, there’s something for everyone—50 and 30 amp hookups, full hookup sites, water/electric only, and even cabins and cottages. Some sites are pull-through, but most are back-in. The campground has a huge camp store, arcade, s’mores area with a big screen, mini golf, pool, playground, outdoor workout area and plenty of ponds and grassy areas to enjoy. I’m sure I’m even missing a few things! Bathrooms and showers are available (a little outdated with a very “camping feel,” spiders included), but they do the job. The laundry facilities were great—card or app-operated, which was so convenient. The campground is quiet, and we loved the gated entry/exit with a bar gate for added security. Also, the restaurant on the campground is fantastic- burgers, pizza, drinks! Starlink is tricky here due to heavy tree cover, but there are a few selective spots where it works if needed. The campground also offers tons of activities, and the Lake George area has so much to explore. We had a wonderful time and will definitely be back!

Nice camping grounds.some activities were not available like they said they had a kiddie pool and adult pool. We didn't see a kiddie pool and the only pool available was for everyone...pool was full of kids with their parents...no room to swim or relax. Also there wasn't a life guard present. There seemed to be a small water park for toddlers adjacent to the pool but that was closed and gated. Also bathrooms and showers could have been maintained a bit better. Especially showers. Shower curtains were ripped in some stalls...shower floors were constantly wet...hair always in shower . I made sure to shower with my flip flops. Shower pressure was poor. But plenty of hot water which was nice. Spaces were nice and kept well. Some were really big. General store was stocked with an array of many different goods. Including electronics in case you forgot anything and tools.they only accepted credit cards though as payment. No cash. A little pricey but camp shops usually are. For an last minute item or a forgotten item it's a life saver. Also you do have a price shopper 4 minutes away, also a McDonald's for those big Mac attacks and 8 minutes away you have a new wave diner for those famous hot dogs! With a variety of stores in between up and down the strip including a dollar general. So if your out getting wood and don't mind driving a couple of minutes away you pretty much have everything you need available to you! Staff in the office and store are very helpful and friendly. If you want to rent a golf cart it's a good idea to as this place has over 500 sites and trails to see. Just note that carts are designed to go really slow and the maximum speed limit is 5 mph. Some people bring their own carts and theirs go faster but still your only allowed to drive 5mph. Doggies are welcome and you need to bring proof of rabies vaccine. Bring a drill if you will. E putting up a pen or a gate as sites have gravel and pushing in stakes manually won't work well and make the gate unstable. But with a drill you can get the job done well. There's a full service bar next to the pool and drinks aren't expensive at all. You can also order food! Great place for family camping with the kids or without! A bit pricey high season as sites go from $100 a night to $150 a night on the weekends...carts are pretty much the same $100 a night and $125 on the weekends. Over all we had a great time! People were friendly and weather behaved!

I’ve been coming to Lake George Escape Campground for over 10 years, and unfortunately I’ve watched it go downhill. What used to be a great mix of camping options has now turned into mostly cabins, with very few (if any) tenting sites left. One of the best parts of this campground used to be the traditional camping experience, but it feels like that’s been pushed aside in favor of rentals. It’s disappointing to see the changes, especially for those of us who have been loyal campers here for years. While the property still has potential, the lack of tent sites really takes away from what made it special. I truly hope management reconsiders and brings back more space for tent campers in the future.

Sites are average size, close but with plenty of trees and shrubs in between to offer some privacy. Kids enjoyed the river and rope swing. Restaurant on site was convenient but not good or bad - basic counter service type stuff. Overall, we enjoyed our stay. Beautiful area with plenty to see and do.

Always have a wonderful time at this campground. Kids love it there is so much to do and it is so spacious. Between fishing at the rivers and ponds. Kayaking and tubing down the Schroon River. Campground is very very clean. The kids favorite part was the arcade. The gentleman Dexter that runs it is awesome. He is great with the kids and just wants them to have a great time helps them win a lots of tickets, for some cool prizes. I highly recommend this campground with or without kids.

The employees here are wonderful, our truck broke down 30 mins after checking out, after 6 nice nights of vacation. We needed to return and stay another night, the staff here went above and beyond to help us out! My kids loved the game room, and the owners of the gameroom were so nice to my kids! the cabins where very nice and clean, just could use a little better AC in the bedroom. Pool was nice and clean, I know my kids would of liked a little more with the pool area but still we had a good time in it. Restaurant and bar area by pool was really nice to have, was fun to get food and be able play pool and listen to live music and DJ. River was fun and great for relaxing in a tube! When booking I was nervous because you can't really pick your site and we needed a trailer site and cabin for our family, I put request in and they were super accommodating and gave us a full hook up site and cabin right next to each other as we requested. The town was a short distance away and was a lot of fun! Such a beautiful area by the lake and all the shops! Free shuttle was great, just wish it went past 9pm, especially since things like the fireworks in lake George only start at 9:30 so you can't use shuttle or else you won't have ride back. They had some good activities too, such as adult bingo and candy bingo, that we all had fun playing. The camp store had all essentials and more, cute souvenirs too! The one thing I would say is that we are used to themed weeks and this campground does do that too, but honestly we didn't really feel the theme, maybe it was just our wee, but nothing they had going on felt themed related. Overall they really seem to care, and it was a nice trip till our truck broke down and at that point they offered to do all they could to help, and they really didn't have to do anything we already had checked out. Although there are a few things I think they could do to make it even better everyone of us really liked this campground and we had a group of 10 of us,, kids ranging from 12 to 22. If you are thinking of trying this campground I think you will have a great time!

I’ve been coming to The Great Escape since I was a kid, back when Mr. and Mrs. Bee owned it. I’ll never forget the playground, pool, and the greased tree we climbed for prize money—such fun memories! Now I bring my daughter, who’s been coming since she was 2 and is now turning 11. We love making new memories here, and the sites are always nice. The bathrooms were a bit dirty last time, and I miss when Hemlock Road was for everyone and closer to the pool. The pool and bar area could really use an update to match how beautiful the rest of the campground is. We still love this place and can’t wait to come back!

Absolutely love Lake George Escape! I've been coming here every Father’s Day weekend for the past 7 years, and it never disappoints. My family always looks forward to our annual trip. We rent the cabins, which are always clean and well-maintained, making our stay very comfortable. The golf cart rentals are a huge plus, making exploring the campground easy and fun. The on-site store is well-stocked with everything we need, and there's plenty to do — an arcade, pool, miniature golf, tubing in the river, corn hole, and basketball courts. It's also very dog-friendly with a great dog park. We enjoyed a pig roast and brick oven pizza during our visit, which was delicious. Overall, Lake George Escape is a fantastic family-friendly campground that keeps us coming back year after year!

I came to Lake George Escape with my extended family of 20+ people we all got to participate in a fun filled weekend of family challenges and what the resort called LGE SURVIVOR! it was definitely a great team building and memory filled time. it is a time my family will hold onto and laugh about for years to come. We rented out 5 cabins and all where spectacular. Everything we possibly would have need was provided and the place look and smelled clean. Before coming we did read some negative reviews however coming in we checked every inch of each cabin they where better than I ever expected. Thank you to all of the staff for such a spectacular time I hope we come back in years to come.

Stayed in a cabin for the weekend with the wife and 2 kids. The kids absolutely LOVED the loft. Two separate sections, one for each of them. When we got to our cabin, it was spotless. You can tell it was pretty new, maybe a year old, and very well maintained. The camp store is well stocked with essentials and good selection of souvenirs. We didn't use the pool, as it was a bit crowded. But we did go swimming in the river, which was nice. A little cool being June, but not bad. Went on Father's Day weekend, and the campground was pretty full. But everyone was pretty respectful and we had no problems with noise, as everyone seemed to abide by the quiet hours. Between the cleanliness, the amenities and the proximity to Lake George Village, it was fantastic. We're already planning a week long stay next year.

Fall camping at the Lake George Escape is absolutely enjoyable, crisp mornings, warm days and crisp fire warmed evenings. Can't ask for anything better.
