I'll preface this by saying, we've been on the road full time for over two years and have stayed at quite a few campgrounds. So what we look for in a campground, isn't the same as someone who's just going out for the weekend. In short, you couldn't pay us enough money to return here again. We arrived in the afternoon on a Friday, and they placed us in between two cabins that were being rented. On one side there was a party of about 12 people, playing Latin pop. On the other side, a party of about 10 people playing reggae music. Even with our A/C on, the music and noise was relentless. You walked out into zero privacy, with each party just 15 feet away with no barrier in between. We've never demanded to be moved before; we have pretty thick skin. But there was no way in the world we'd last here at this spot for the week, trying to work, and live a normal life. They gave us a few options and thankfully we found a quiet spot in the 500 loop of the campground. No cabins here, just all RV'ers, which are generally respectful for the most part. The site wasn't level, was next to a stagnant pond, was infested with mosquitoes, but was better than where they stuck us before. The rest of the week, generally speaking, wasn't bad in our section of the campground. But the whole place remained busy. It's SO LARGE and there are so many people. Lots of very, very loud music, lots of very large parties of people despite their "ban" on groups of 6 or more. They never enforced any of their rules. In talking with management, they gave me the impression that there's nothing that they can do. The place is just too big, and so their rules are unenforceable. Lake George itself is beautiful, but packed with boats. There are some wonderful hikes in the area (Sleeping Beauty, and Shelving Rock), but for the love of all things don't head downtown into Lake George Village unless it's 5 AM. We tried, many times, to walk the shops but we could never find a place to park. Even at 10 AM the place was completely packed. We have our own internet and it was bogged down at times (AT&T and Verizon both) but both generally held pretty well throughout the week (this campground offers no WIFI). At any rate, take the review with a grain of salt and again, consider the source (full time rv'ers).
