Lake George NY About This Page:

[Vellamint]

We are a family of six looking for decent accommodations in Lake George. I think staying in town might be easier...or can you drive in and easily park. There are many accommodations to choose from and it is very overwhelming and daunting to choose without actually getting a recommendation from someone.

Anyone have any suggestions or comments it would be appreciated as I would like to get this settled because I hear this area gets very booked in the summer months.

Thank you.

<font color="blue">It's been a long time since I was there. There use to be a Motel right in town. Just a walk from Downtown. We stay there once. There was an A&amp;W burger place right out front. We would swim all day and go to town at night. Lots of fun Take the boat ride around the lake if they still have it. It's a nice ride. Oh and if Gas Light Village is still there stop by. They have a mussuem with some movie cars. One was from a flim call Death Race 2000. It has a giant Kniofe on the front. Sly Stallon drove it for the movie. Have Fun. </font>

We are close to LG so have never stayed in any of the motels. My suggestion would be to get one in town because parking can be terrible...plus an added cost to your vacation.

We live in CT and planned a spur of the moment trip over 4th of July weekend last year. Almost everything was sold out, but we found an Econolodge near town for $185.00 total for all three nights. Basic accomodations, but VERY clean room and fairly large. There was a trolley stop at the motel, so we didn't have to worry about parking. The kids loved it!
Have fun. <font color="black"> </font>

Sorry, Gaslight Village isn't there anymore Marcie. . Just wanted to add that if being right near the lake isn't important then you could try the Queensbury area for accomodations as well. Very close to everything, but it might be easier to secure a room. I've never stayed in the area either since we are just an hours drive away. Ther is plenty to do in the area. Lots of shopping (outlets and malls), amusement parks, the lake, museums, restaurants, mini golf etc. Magic Forest is great for little kids, but not a lot ofr older kids and adults, but they have a great display building of Snow White very early animatronics. It's been a while but I think the sign said they were made by the Walt Disney Co. before the release of the movie (maybe for the World's Fair?). I thought it was really neat and didn't even know it existed. The Great Escape is great for thrill rides. If you have any questions about the area let me know.

We have stayed several times at the Quarters (timeshare villas) right on Lake George.
They have everything we need...including a kitchen and are very close to town.
Check them out at www.lakegeorgeresorts.com
We go up to that area at least once a year since my
step-daughters family lives in Newcomb (another hour NorthEast).

Lake George seems to be a popular place for Passporters. What about a mini meet this summer? I'd be happy to organize.

Try www.visitlakegeorge.com which gives you info on lodging, rates, restaurants, amusements, etc.

We're going this summer too, probably in July after the 4th and we prefer to stay at Diamond Point which is only 4 miles from the village, but quite a lot quieter than staying in town. We also prefer lakefront since my husband brings his fishing boat with him. And we prefer to have a cabin or efficiency rental instead of a motel room because it gives us more space and we can cook meals some of the time instead of going out to eat all the time.

3 years ago, we stayed at the Treasure Cove with 2 bedrooms, a kitchen and living room, a barbeque grill, 2 pools and a playground. Cost was approx. $1300 for the week. 2 years ago, we stayed at the Capri Villas (I think that was the name) which had the same amenities but cost only $1000/week. I'll have to start researching again for this year.

Can anyone recommend and good campground, or cottages, ON lake george?

We considered camping on long island, in the middle of lake george, but would really love some feedback before we book...

Thanks!

Alot of the campgrounds are through the NYS Park Service, so you can start there. I agree w/ the others yes parking is a pain, but it may be easier to get accomodations a little further away from town in Queensbury or Glens Falls. I have never stayed over night since I live 45 minutes south.
