Saratoga Escape Lodges & RV Resort

I can not even begin to describe how amazing this place is!! We were there for Labor Day weekend and it was awesome!! There's always something going on, dj's, karaoke, huge bon fires. I stayed in cabin C5 and it was so clean and incredibly comfortable. There is a guy named Steve there, who goes above and beyond to make sure you have a great experience. I can't wait to get back there!!

Our names are Kris and Lisa Lunderman and we LOVE it here!!!! Ignore ALL negative reviews and please read ours. We believe you will be happy camping here if you keep in mind what your are booking. This isn’t glamping, modern nor high end. It’s not rundown, it’s rustic….it’s camping in the woods, just as you would expect at the base of the Adirondack’s. If you are looking for luxury camping this is not for you. If you like being surrounded by nature, the smell of pine trees, sitting by a campfire, a nature walk around the lake, cooling off in a pool….you will love it here.

We are here now and staying for a full month in site #60. We have a 2021 38 foot fifth wheel that requires 50 amps. Although there is no sewer hook-up they offer daily pump service (or as often as you want it) at no additional cost. We have been getting pumped out every other day and do not have to be present when they do it. Not only that but we’ve been here when they did pump our tanks but never even heard them. We have stayed in other similar campgrounds that offer pumping at a charge and those fees can add up….here, it is completely free.

The roads are a little bumpy but easy to maneuver. The ground is covered in pine needles…because, well…trees. And beautiful trees are everywhere! We often see children riding bikes or playing in the brand new playground just built this year. Our 4 year granddaughter loved it. She especially liked that there were four different slides and varied “rock” walls with ropes for climbing. She also loved the children’s water splash pad area. It was clean and ankle deep with chairs all around for adults to keep good watch. Right next to the children’s water area there is a family pool only 4 feet deep but wide and large enough for many campers to enjoy. Lots of chairs and loungers and again, very clean. It’s all fenced in and locked at night. They offer a small putt putt course with free club and ball rentals. You just pick them up inside the little general store where you check in. Oh yea….they offer free coffee and sometimes have fresh, large homemade chocolate chip cookies for purchase…..they are yummy and very reasonably priced.

The nights are quiet with people outside enjoying campfires or cooking dinner. No noise or loud campers…just nature.

Our site faces the little lake and we are greeted daily by a tiny family of Canadian geese. We feed them crackers and they are friendly and sweet. We have often seen people out in the lake in a canoe or on the sandy beach fishing. Weekends tend to
Be full but many people leave on Sunday and so weekdays have open spots.

Last week we rented a cabin for our grown children who came to visit and they had a wonderful time. They stayed in cabin #1. We had to supply our own bedding and towels but everything else was there. The front had a swing inside the screened porch and the kitchen full of dishes, cups and utensils. The microwave, coffee pot and stove worked well. The TV picked up local channels or you could pay a minimal fee for internet on the Roku supplied. There was one queen bed in the back and a queen floor pad upstairs in the loft…perfect for kids! The futon could be used for sleeping if needed and was large and made of heavy oak. The cabin had a little table with four chairs. We played cards every night! Please keep in mind, these are homey but rustic. You should not expect hotel quality but rather camping in a cabin.

We highly recommend this beautiful campground, the friendly staff, the taste of nature and its 8 mile proximity to Saratoga! Our grown children are all professionals who like to call themselves “bougie” (LOL). None of them expected to like it here, camp in the woods and be so surrounded by nature. We were surprised when they all asked if we could meet up here again next year. We are already making plans!

Went tent camping over the weekend. The new tent camping sites were a bit odd with new sod rectangles laid down surrounded by sand but other than that it was a great stay! The pool was clean, the showers were clean and warm, the toilets were clean and the workers at the trading post were helpful. Great location to visit Saratoga springs. Can’t beat it for the price!
