Alpine Lake RV Resort is located in the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains and is near both Lake George and Saratoga Springs, so there's no shortage of things to do.  The college town of Saratoga Springs is worth a visit, especially if you like night life.  We had a terrific time doing karaoke and a great meal at one of the many taverns that were open to the street (Saratoga City Tavern).

Pros:
This was one of the nicer parks we've stayed in.  You can have a true lakeside camping site or be away from the lake in the surrounding forest, and either way, the sites are spacious. This resort is very well maintained and managed, which is a nice change compared to many campgrounds we've been in. 

There are many amenities here in this very large park, including everything you would expect from a quality Thousand Trails facility, i.e. swimming pool, showers, gameroom, laundry, etc.  The pavilion is huge, seating 800, so they say, and there is both a country store and restaurant on the premises, though the restaurant was closed for the off-season when we were there.

We had stayed in another park near Lake George, Warrensburg Travel Park and Riverfront Campground, but Alpine Lake is far superior.  For one thing, there isn't a decades old seasonal neighborhood to camp in.  That alone makes it a breath of fresh air for an East Coast Thousand Trails resort.  ​

​Cons:
This is a very large resort and, as such, amenities and events can require a long walk or short drive to get to.  As with a majority of huge parks we have stayed in, they are actively promoting children's events, who show up in droves.  We prefer fewer or no children around us when we camp, so it was a bit loud and and crowded for our liking.  

Though they don't have the usual seasonal trailer park neighborhood, there are many long-term campers and I suspect most of the lakefront sites are taken by them, since none were available to us as Thousand Trails members.

This park touts itself as "pet friendly," but they don't have any dog runs or leash-free sections for dogs to play or run in.

Overall, we really enjoyed staying in this park.  It's far from perfect, thus the 4-star rating, but it is an exceptional park in many regards.  We highly recommend trying this one for a week or two, whether or not you have kids.
