Troy doesn’t have many RV parks, but there are a few nearby that you can call home for a night or two...or more. One option in Averill Park is Alps Family Campground. Soak in the sounds of nature in this wooded and rural campground. Go for an afternoon stroll down one of the on-site nature trails, take a dip in the pool, or make some s’mores in your private fire pit. In addition to a fire ring, each site has partial hookups and a picnic table. Some sites offer sewer hookups too, or you could use the on-site dump station. While camping here, you’ll have access to hot showers, a fishing pond, horseshoe pits, a basketball court, video arcade, and playgrounds.

Learn about the regional iron industry when you book a camper rental in Troy and visit the Burden Iron Works Museum. Thanks to the area’s iron works, the world has things like horseshoes, the modern fire hydrant, some of the valves and locks on the Panama Canal, the first truly all-woman labor union, and the most powerful water wheel in history, the Burden Water Wheel. In fact, because of its enormous role in the economy, some have called South Troy the Silicon Valley of the 19th century.
