RV Rental Indian Lake, NY

With a backdrop of spectacular mountains and beautifully tranquil waters to explore, boating on Indian Lake’s waters is a truly magical experience. The lake’s long and thin profile lends itself to many hidden coves and bays that are best explored by kayak or canoe. For those RV camping with their own boat in tow, head to the public boat launch ramp that can be found on the lake’s southern shores. The marina here also rents out kayaks, canoes and motorized vessels for those that don’t have their own equipment.

Camping at Indian Lake is also popular among anglers, who come to fish for the lake’s diverse species. Launch your boat onto the water and head to the northern portion of Indian Lake to fish for the likes of trout and whitefish. Find a secluded spot on the southern shoreline or one of the lake’s small islands to try your luck at catching the trophy-sized northern pike. Rent a camper at Indian Lake during the winter, when the crowds are fewer, and ice fishing for brown trout is rewarding!

For those that would rather admire Indian Lake from a distance, there are a plethora of walking trails in the area. One of the best views over Indian Lake can be seen from the top of Watch Hill. The short hike is great for any ability level as well as being suitable for families with small children. This well-marked path follows an old wood-logging trail before climbing up some steeper rocks before eventually leveling out to a ridgeline where walkers can enjoy a spectacular view over the Snowy Mountain and Indian Lake.

Although RV camping at Indian Lake is possible, the majority of the campsites are situated on the lake’s southern islands and therefore are only accessible by boat.

Situated at the lake’s northern end, Thornbush Acres RV Park is one of the most RV friendly campsites in the area. Open seasonally, from May through to October; campers can enjoy large pull-thru sites with full hookups and free, site-wide WiFi. Those without a self-contained unit can also make use of the well-maintained washrooms on-site, complete with hot showers and flushing toilets. Additionally, there is a convenient camp store on-site where travelers can pick up fishing tackle, firewood, and other useful supplies.

Head out to Interstate Route 87, where a huge selection of campsites can be found. Consider staying at the Country Haven Campground, a pet-friendly campsite nestled under a canopy of trees. With over 145 sites to choose from, RV users have the choice of fully or partially serviced sites, all of which come with their own fire ring and picnic table. The campground also provides luxury amenities such as a heated swimming pool, basketball court and even an on sight trout stream to fish from!

Your Indian Lake camper rental will serve you well on your adventures as you set out to explore the surrounding area.
