Late June through early September is peak season, with warm weather ideal for the beach, paddling, and the full campground operation. May, early June, and September into early October offer cooler temperatures, fewer crowds, and excellent fall foliage in the Palmertown Range, all good conditions for RV travel. Winter brings snow and limits camping to day-use access only. RV renters who want quieter sites should target shoulder weeks before Memorial Day and after Labor Day.

Great experience, clean RV. Brandon was great and very easy going.
Mike R. - Nov 2024
Brandon was an exceptional host. Everything was ready to go and he explained the rental thoroughly as it was my first time renting. Very professional and a pleasure to work with. If you're looking to rent a camper, Brandon is the one to see.

**5 Stars – The Little Ditty Was a Dream!** We had such an amazing experience renting *The Little Ditty*! The RV itself was adorable – clean, cozy, and stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable getaway. Whether we were camping by the coast or tucked into the trees, it felt like a perfect little home on wheels. But what truly made this rental stand out were Ryanna & Derek. They were absolutely fantastic from start to finish – incredibly helpful, friendly, and excellent communicators. They walked us through everything clearly, answered all our questions with patience, and made sure we felt completely confident and taken care of. Their kindness and attention to detail really made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. We can’t recommend *The Little Ditty* – and Ryanna & Derek – highly enough. If you’re looking for a unique RV adventure with awesome hosts, this is the one!

How to get to Moreau Lake State Park
The park sits just off Interstate 87 (the Adirondack Northway) at Exit 17S, roughly 15 minutes north of Saratoga Springs and about 45 minutes north of Albany. From the south, allow about 3.5 hours from New York City and 3 hours from Boston using I-87 and I-90. RV drivers should plan for rolling terrain on local approach roads, low-clearance bridges in nearby village centers, and seasonal frost heaves typical of the Adirondack foothills. Albany International Airport (ALB) is the nearest major airport, about 50 minutes south, suitable for fly-and-rent trips.
