 
Assembly Resolution No. 626
 
BY: M. of A. Stec
 
        COMMEMORATING  the  50th  Anniversary  of the Lake
        George RV Park
 
  WHEREAS, It is the custom of this Legislative Body that the  quality
of  life  of  the  citizens of New York State is greatly enriched by its
exceptional cultural, educational and recreational facilities; and
 
  WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and  in  full  accord  with  its
long-standing  traditions,  this  Legislative  Body  is  justly proud to
commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the Lake  George  RV  Park  in  Lake
George, New York; and
 
  WHEREAS,  Campers  come  from  all  over  the  country to visit Lake
George, known as the Queen of American Lakes, and as one of the cleanest
and clearest lakes in the nation;  it  provides  a  pristine  venue  for
outdoor  recreation  and  promotes  good, healthy living, and is host to
over eight  million  visitors  annually,  attracting  over  600  million
tourism dollars each year; and
 
  WHEREAS,  The  King  family has always enjoyed RV camping; Vic King,
who created the park, longed for a cleaner camping experience; he opened
the Lake George RV Park to the public for the first time in 1966; and
 
  WHEREAS, A family-owned business for 50 years, Vic King's son,  Dave
King  started working at the park at the young age of seven; in 1988, he
held the title of General Manager; today, he serves  as  both  President
and CEO of this successful enterprise; and
 
  WHEREAS, Throughout its five decades of business, the Lake George RV
Park continues to grow every year; each season, people make their summer
reservations earlier and earlier; approximately 60% of its customers are
those who have visited the park before, with families often passing down
the tradition of RV camping to their children; and
 
  WHEREAS,  Much  of  the success of the Lake George RV Park is due to
the friendliness of  the  staff  and  its  good  old-fashioned  customer
service;  Dave  King  and  his employees truly like to get to know their
guests and strive to make their camping experience a memorable one; and
 
  WHEREAS, The  120-acre  park  offers  400  RV  campsites  and  fully
equipped  vacation  rentals in addition to 30 and 50 amp hookups, water,
sanitary, cable TV, Wi-Fi at each campsite, and  an  extensive  list  of
on-site amenities which include professional entertainment at the French
Mountain  Playhouse on the property, an indoor heated pool, a trolley to
local destinations, and a two-acre off-leash dog park; and
 
  WHEREAS, In an effort to set themselves apart from other  RV  parks,
Dave  King  is  continually  looking  for signature services to keep his
loyal customers and attract new ones; in 2016, he converted three tennis
courts into six pickleball courts; and
 
  WHEREAS, Steeped in a proud  and  distinguished  history,  the  Lake
George RV Park may take just pride in its purposeful growth, as it looks
 
forward  to continuing to serve the recreational needs of the community;
and
 
  WHEREAS,  It  is  the  sense  of  this  Legislative  Body  that when
establishments of such noble aims and accomplishments are brought to our
attention, they should be celebrated and recognized by all the  citizens
of this great Empire State; now, therefore, be it
 
  RESOLVED,  That  this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the Lake George RV Park; and  be  it
further
 
  RESOLVED,  That  a  copy  of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to Dave King, President and CEO, the Lake George RV Park.
