If you can believe it, this fully inflatable kayak folds into a backpack weighing just 24 pounds! It inflates in under five minutes, so when you happen to drive by a lake or river that is too good to pass by, you can be in the water in no time at all. Plus, it has an adjustable seat to ensure comfort for longer excursions. If you’re staying with us at Lake George Campsites, be sure to check out LakeGeorge.com’s guide to canoeing and kayaking in Lake George, NY.
This completely smokeless wood-burning fire pit is a total game changer. You can burn charcoal or wood embers, and it has an included grill top that you can cook on! Not to mention the fact that the integrated air fan runs for 30 hours on a single charge, AND the legs are foldable, making portability easy as pie. You can even adjust your fire with a Bluetooth app to control the size of the flames – how cool is that? While we have firepits and firewood available for our campers at Lake George Campsites, this tool would bring your campfires to the next level…and make your fellow campers very jealous.
This ten-person tent has plenty of room for a large family, sets up quickly and easily, and won’t break the bank either. It has enough space for three queen-sized air beds and an attached convenient screen porch so the bugs and critters can’t get too close. This would be perfect for any of our tent camping sites at Lake George Campsites!
Gifts Under $250
Coleman Cascade 3-in-1 Camp Stove
You will be the envy of the entire campground when you bring this bad boy out to cook a meal for your family! This compact stove has a griddle, a grill, and a built-in lighter (no need for pesky matches). It even has built-in wind guards so your flame doesn’t dwindle with every gust of wind. And the best part is that it all folds together with a recessed carry handle to make transport a breeze! We don’t have any grills for public use at Lake George Campsites, so this will be a great tool to bring along for the family to enjoy some hot dogs and hamburgers at your campsite.
Sea to Summit UltraLight Air Mattress
This ultralight air mattress (and we mean ULTRA light – it weighs just over a pound) will provide a soft and comfortable sleeping surface and keep any camper cozy throughout the night. The multi-function valve allows for fast inflation in just a few breaths, and one-way deflation makes packing it up quick and easy. This would come in handy for any type of camping at Lake George Campsites, whether it is tent camping, RV camping, or if you need an extra sleeping surface in your cozy cottage.
Surprisingly sturdy for its size, this portable camping chair folds down to the size of a water bottle, and you can set it up in under five seconds. Plus, it’s tip-proof, so no worries about toppling over! While we have picnic tables scattered across our campsites at Lake George Campsites, it’s always a good idea to bring extra seating along.
Having access to water is absolutely essential when camping and spending time outdoors. With this gallon jug, you won’t have to worry about constantly filling up! The jug is leakproof and hands-free with its magnetic cap for easy pouring, and it keeps your water ice cold for hours. Not only does it keep beverages cold, but it can also be used to keep your coffee or tea piping hot while on a hunting or camping adventure. You can use it at one of the fill stations across our campground at Lake George Campsites.
MPOWERD Luci Solar String Lights
This comes with 44 feet of solar-powered string lights to set the mood at your campsite! They last up to eight hours on a single charge, and you can also use it to charge up your phone. You can set the ambiance just how you like it with three light modes – low, medium, and high. Plus, they are durable and water-resistant, so you don’t have to worry about taking them down if there’s unexpected rain at your campsite. At LGC, we encourage campers to decorate their campsites and let their personalities shine. These lights would make a perfect decoration!

Country Living’s The Field Guide: Eating Outdoors
This hardcover guide has made-for-the-outdoors recipes that require few utensils and minimal cleanup. It also has decorating tips and crafts to add personality to outdoor spaces, cooler packing guides, marshmallow-roasting tips, and much, much more! While there are plenty of great restaurants and takeout options near Lake George Campsites, this would be great if you are the kind of person who likes to prepare their food during camping trips.
Set up this hammock in just minutes! With plenty of room for two, you won’t want to leave the coziness. It is compact and lightweight and has nine colors to choose from. We’ve got plenty of trees at Lake George Campsites that are perfect for setting up a hammock.
Card games and camping go hand in hand. There’s nothing like playing a few rounds of Rummy or Go Fish around the campfire at your LGC campsite. These cards are fully waterproof and designed to withstand the unpredictable elements at a campsite.
This folding camp table is a must-buy for any outdoor enthusiast. With a large, waterproof table top, additional storage underneath, and four cupholders, there will be room for everything you need for a camping picnic! Easy setup – no tools required.

This travel dog bed is perfect for that friend who likes to bring their dog everywhere they go (and we all have at least one of those friends). This bed has a soft-to-touch quilted quality, and the ripstop on the bottom adds durability, which is essential for all camping gear. We are a pet-friendly campground here at Lake George Campsites, and we welcome your furry companions with open arms!
