RV camping at Northampton Beach Campground is a great way to experience Great Sacandaga Lake, a reservoir that was constructed in the 1920s and became operational in 1930. The dam that regulates the lake was designed to manage the Hudson and Sacandaga rivers to prevent flooding and maintain the water flow during droughts. The lake has since become a popular destination where you can enjoy boating and fishing.

The campground is just a short drive from the town of Broadalbin (which was named after a region in Scotland). The town is small in size but adequate for your needs; here, you can fuel up the motorhome rental, stock up on supplies, or take a break from cooking and dine out. The restaurant scene includes a bistro-wine bar, several pizzerias and Italian venues, a steakhouse, and more. The town also has a cider mill and family fun park. The park has a train ride, and young kids can dig for fossils and prospect for gems.

Getting Outdoors

When you rent a camper near Great Sacandaga Lake, there'll be numerous activities for you to enjoy, starting with boating on the lake and fishing. Rowboats, motorboats, and canoes and kayaks are allowed on the water, and there is a launch for your use; you can rent canoes and rowboats if you don't have your own. The lake is stocked with a variety of bass, northern pike, and walleye, to name a few, and the lake is long, wide, and deep, so you can take your time casting in different locations.

There are many miles of trails nearby providing you with an opportunity to hike; one of the trails runs from Northville to Lake Placid and is more than 100 miles long, but you can walk sections of it if you're looking for a more casual hike. There are beaches where you can swim not far from the campground (the campground staff can give you specific information), and there is a mini-golf course and a full-size golf course just minutes away.

If you'd like to experience something more primitive and wild during your Broadalbin RV camping trip, head to Shaker Mountain Wild Forest, an outdoor recreational area that's open to the public year-round. Shaker Mountain Wild Forest is a part of the Adirondack Forest Preserve. It is a good resource for hiking and mountain biking in the summer, and snowshoeing, snowmobiling, and cross-country skiing in the winter. There are almost a dozen trails for you to choose from, ranging in length from one to several miles; one of them, Kane Mountain East Trail, leads to the peak of Kane Mountain, where a fire tower provides breathtaking views of the area below.

There are more than 200 campsites within the campground, some nestled amongst stands of white pine and northern hardwood trees offering complete privacy and some located along the shoreline.

If your preference is for something more cultivated, Cooperstown KOA is open seasonally from early May until October.
