  4 star only because the ac in our primary bedroom was broken. They placed a floor unit in our room which one, didnt allow for our window to lock, and two had to be emptied both nights in the middle of the night which was extremely aggravating as no one explained this to us. Waking up each night sweating on vacation was not ideal. For nearly 400.00 a night and our only get a way this summer-this was unacceptable. Everything else was perfect, clean and dog friendly. Only issue was the AC issue.

  Don’t let the boujee photos fool you! This campground must delete most of the bad reviews. I would never come back! First of all, you have to book online and you can’t choose your site. I paid for a “premium spot” meaning it’s near the river or pool- they assigned me near the baseball field… premium spot? No. I then called to add my parents camper and asked if there was 2 sites together. You end up talking to a representative from thousand trails who has no idea the layout of the campground. When we arrived the sites were side by side but had a huge patch of poison ivy between them. And the sites were overall cramped and overgrown. And this is the first campground I’ve ever had to PAY for WiFi- seriously? You charge $140 per night and have to pay for WiFi on top of it. Oh and the best part- you can’t call the office, they make you text them. This place is a crowded and crappy with teenagers speeding around on golf carts all day. They have signs and warning that kids can’t be underage driving them around, but there is no one there to enforce it. My kids couldn’t even ride their bikes because of the crazy golf carts all over the roads. The weekend we stayed, there was a golf cart parade which sounds nice in theory. But they had someone in the parade blaring ( and I mean blaring) an emergency sirens for over 2 hours. It was so loud and obnoxious, it made your head spin. It could be heard inside the camper. We messaged the office- no answer. My mom called and finally got someone and they just said “sorry you feel that way.” This place is a joke. Definitely not worth what we paid. Photo below is the lovely poison ivy patch.

  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.

  The Place is going downhill, we went last year. Everything was great this year we checked in we paid and the beginning of the year for a trip in August for four cabins. Last year the lady told us we have to book directly through their site to get them next to each other not through booking or any other third-party so we did and our One families’s cabin was very far away, which was very disappointing. One of the cabins had hair all in the bed. The other cabins blinds was broken and my cabin when I checked in, they were still working on the air conditioning telling me it was broke. I don’t know why they would give us a key then if they were still working on the cabin. Also, I wish they would’ve told us that we had a handicap room. The reason I booked a two bedroom was so my kids could have their own room and I can wake up and make a cup of coffee without waking them, but yet they had bunkbeds in the hallway. We will try some place else next time.
