A group from Connecticut will be heading up to Americade on the 5th-7th. Usually just 4-6 of us, but this year a large group from our riding club wants to go. Were staying at Lake george Escape campground. We dont ususally do the "tours" as way too many people that have never done a group ride go and IMHO its not the safest thing. We head out on our own and enjoy a day at the vendor area.
Fun watching the scoots up and down main and Canada St. Great mix of diffrent bikes.

Theres a campsite as soon as you roll into lake george on canada st.
its on the right heading south.
across from holiday inn.
you can see all the action from there as well and a small diner across the street if it's open yet.
I would try to stay there,most likely you will see me getting pulled over for loud pipes....lol
if i can find the name of it i will post it.
i'll do a search.

Lake George Escape is actually a nice campground. Pretty hoppin place at night and honestly they dont seem to mind alittle roudiness.
Its alittle more pricey then some because of the amenities, Pool, Large Store, Breakfest Buffet. I know there is a place on Canada St that is right off the main drag. From what I have heard its pretty primative.

Very family oriented compared to most rallies. Americade tends to get a lot of touring bikes. There are more than a few wingers that attend Americade. The first year I went, I thought I stumbled on the Honda Hoot.
I normally head up for one day just to check out the some of the vendors or get in a couple of demo rides. But, that it about it for me.
