Hello,
You might want to look into Lake George, NY, I think it might be a good fit for what you are looking for. It has everything you mentioned camping,plenty of hiking, swimming and much more.I have been to lake George many times and stayed at Colonel Williams motel and I also stayed on the lake as well. If you can I would stay on the lake.I do know someone that stayed at King Philip's campground and resort and had only good things to say about it. (Of course I always read reviews anyway) this place has a pool, a large playground (if you have kids),games, but I do not think this place is on the lake. It is my understanding that the trolley that takes you in the village of LG stops here, so you can leave the car behind. Know need to fight for parking just to go get a bite to eat or walk around and have an ice cream.
You mentioned hiking, I know prospect mountain and the more popular hiking destination of Mt. Marcy which is 5,000 feet is within easy reach. I have never hiked these mountains so I can not speak to that. There is water activities, and you can even choose to take a boat trip around Lake George, which I found very relaxing. Enjoy!
It is a very nice place to visit.
