Motor Home Adventures in The Adirondack Mountains

By: Andrew Stratton

The Adirondacks in upstate New York was one of the first wild preserves set aside and protected in the United States. It is more than 6 million acres of woods, lakes, ponds, and includes the majestic mountains themselves. It is an all around great motor home vacation.

Most people don\'t know how big the Adirondack Mountains are. The area stretches over 6 million acres, which makes it bigger than the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, Yosemite and the Great Smoky Mountains preserves combined. This includes thousands of lakes and ponds for fishing, as well as more than 2,000 miles of hiking trails, winding through the terrain of rugged mountains and deep woodlands.

But, most spectacular of all are the mountains themselves. The Adirondacks are not actually a mountain range, but a collection of single peaks. These 46 mountains that give the area its special character are known as \"the 46,\" and most of the area\'s attractions center around these majestic summits. The views of Lake Placid or Lake George from the mountainsides are fantastic.

The preserve is not a traditional park. You won\'t see a big entrance with a ranger station as you come in. The Adirondacks are a protected wild area, and they are littered with towns, farms and homes where people go about their daily business.

The Adirondacks are full of scenic views, some of the best hiking in the country, canoe routes through the many waterways, and quaint little towns where you can learn about the area\'s culture and history. You can strap on a backpack and head to a remote area where your only company will be moose. Or, you can stay in a fully equipped motor home resort with activities and fun for the whole family.

If you live in the north east, it is a quick and easy drive to the Adirondacks, making the area a great RV getaway for east coast city dwellers. There are a variety of lodging options, and plenty of places to park your motor home. Here are some of the best places to park your RV.

Lake George Schroon Valley Resort

This RV park is near Warrensburg. It has sites that are right on the Schroon River, giving you the option of riverside camping. Lake George Schroon Valley Resort is off the beaten path a little, so it\'s rarely crowded. They have tent camping, cabin rentals and RV sites with full hook ups. This RV park also puts you close to Lake George and a variety of activities.

Adirondack Adventure Resorts

The Adirondack Adventure Resorts are kind of an old tradition in the area. They have three different resorts under the same management with locations at Lake George, Saratoga Springs and Schroon River. Lake George is the best of the three in terms of pretty views and remoteness, but all three are nice. They have been in the area for a long time, and their facilities are clean and fully equipped. In addition to the natural beauty of the area, there are lots of family activities that they offer for guests.

Stony Creek Family Campground

This is a great place if you really want to get away from it all. Even though it\'s remote, it\'s only a few minutes\' drive to Lake George. They have lots of RV sites as well as tent camping sites. One of the great things about Stony Creek is that they offer a wide range of fun family activities, so it is a great place to stay if you have youngsters. They do take reservations, so you may want to call ahead.

If you\'re considering a motor home vacation in the near future, The Adirondack Mountains offers variety and gorgeous scenery that will please any outdoor lover.
