Camping at Sites 001-012, 039-053

Hearthstone Point is a popular campground located near Lake George in the Adirondack Park region of New York State. Different campgrounds have specific information related to them. Campsites 001-012 and 039-053 may have particular characteristics that campers are interested in knowing before they arrive. Here is some general important camping information for these sites:

General Overview:

Campsites 001-012 are typically in the beginning section of the campground, often closer to the park entrance, main facilities like the camp store, restrooms, showers, or the campground office. This can be convenient for campers who want close proximity to these amenities.

Campsites 039-053 may be situated further into the campground, potentially offering a different experience—perhaps quieter areas farther from the entrance, with more seclusion or closer access to trails, nature, and other campground features.

Site Specifics:

• Size: The size of each site can vary, so make sure to check if the space will accommodate your camping equipment. The park typically lists the maximum vehicle length supported by individual sites.
• Type of Accommodation: Sites may be designated for tents, RVs, or both. It’s essential to select a site that matches the type of camping you plan to do.
• Shade and Ground Cover: The amount of tree cover and ground type (grass, dirt, gravel) can differ among sites, affecting the comfort and privacy of your camp.

Amenities and Hookups:

• Electric Hookups: Some sites may offer electric hookups, while others do not. Campers needing electricity should confirm availability.
• Water and Sewage: Availability of potable water, either directly at the site or nearby, and sewage or dump station locations is information that RV campers, in particular, will need.

Access to Facilities:

• Proximity to Restrooms and Showers: Depending on their location within the campground, some sites will be closer to restrooms and showers than others.
• Camp Store: The camp store, if one is available, might be closer to campsites at the lower numbers (001-012).

Location and Environment:

• Proximity to Water Bodies: If Hearthstone Point is near a lake or river, some sites may offer closer access to water for swimming, fishing, or boating.
• Environmental Considerations: Sites may be located on different terrain, which may affect how water runs off in the rain or the likelihood of flooding.

Noise Level:

• Proximity to Roads or High Traffic Areas: Sites closer to park entrances or main roads could potentially have more noise compared to those deeper within the park.

• Parking Restrictions: There may be limits on the number of vehicles allowed per site.
• Pet Policies: Campgrounds will have specific rules regarding pets, such as leash laws and whether pets are allowed in certain areas.

Activities and Attractions:
