The Bay Stay

1 site ¡ RV1 acre ¡ Saint Albans, VT
This is a second driveway on a 1/4 lot in a residential neighborhood. It is located nearby St. Albans Bay on Lake Champlain. Walk to dinner to watch the sunset and get an ice cream after. Boats can be rented at the nearby marina and the Bay Park has a weekly farmer’s market and live music on Thursdays. St. Albans City has a gorgeous Main Street bursting with color and music. The city takes great pride in its flowers that adorn the streets and the “Ladies Fountain” in Taylor Park. There are many restaurants to choose from with outdoor seating to take in all the beauty summer has to offer. A truly beautiful place to visit!

- Ubuntu -

12 sites ¡ RVs, Tents115 acres ¡ Keeseville, NY
“Ubuntu” Def: An ancient African word meaning “Humanity to others”. It is a reminder of “I am what I am because of who we all are.” We do our best to bring the spirit of Ubuntu to our lives and property that we have been graced with. We hope your visit to Ubuntu will be peaceful and rejuvenating. At Ubuntu you will find the perfect spot to observe the April 8th TOTAL solar eclipse. There are no lights, no neighbors in sight, and you will have the freedom to choose your campsite or observation point, whether it is on the flat, nestled in the trees, or on top of Carney Mountain. RV’s will also easily find a spot to camp. The open areas and the top of Carney Mountain, which is a short hike with panoramic views of the area, are perfect spots to experience the solar eclipse. The 115 acres of Ubuntu offer many opportunities for camping, hiking and enjoying the abundant wildlife. There is a wet area that sometimes becomes several ponds if the beavers have been at work. There is a path leading to the ponds and also one that runs through the woods to the right of the ponds. The location is private and quiet but still very accessible to all the Adirondacks has to offer, such as biking, jogging, kayaking, canoeing, fishing, and hiking. Ubuntu is located only 45 minutes from Lake Placid and the high peaks areas, Saranac Lake is about one hour away, Lake Champlain is 20 minutes away, and Montreal is one hour away. The ferry to Vermont if you wish to cross over the pond (Lake Champlain) is about 45 minutes. And if you love equestrian sports, the Willow Hill Equestrian Center is less than 1.5 miles away. Bring your horse and stable your buddy at the Willow Hill Farm, or sign up for a lesson with one of their accomplished instructors. Your furry pets are welcome, but we ask that you keep them on a leash if they tend to chase game or do not have a reliable recall. Please use good judgment. There are many deer on the property, so yes we do have ticks. Please take the necessary precautions. We hope that your visit to Ubuntu will be a great experience that you will enjoy and treasure! In Peace, Aisha and Moussa

The best camping near Knight Island State Park guide

Overview

About

Don’t trustingly put Knight Island State Park into the GPS and start driving--you'll end up swimming with the fish. This 185-acre island is located 2 miles east of North Hero, Vermont in the northern end of Lake Champlain’s “inland sea," and is only accessibly by boat. Bring your own vessel or arrange for a water taxi (unfortunately not on Uber yet, but you can call Driftwood Tours for a ride). Be warned that there are no docks on the island, so beaching or anchoring off-shore are your only options.

This is a trip for naturists who are ok with being at the whim of the Lake Champlain’s forces. This off-the-grid location is rumored to be a contender for the next “Survivor" destination (but you didn’t hear it from us!).

When to go

The ideal time to visit Knight Island State Park is during the warmer months, from late spring to early fall, when the weather is pleasant for outdoor activities. Winter can be harsh, with limited access and fewer services, making it less suitable for a visit.

Know before you go

  • Check weather conditions before your trip, as the island's weather can change rapidly.
  • Ensure you have a valid park pass and are aware of the operating hours, typically from 8:30am to 5pm.
  • Prepare for limited cell service; plan your activities and navigation ahead of time.
  • Respect the park's wildlife and natural habitats by following the 'Leave No Trace' principles.
  • Be aware of the park's pet policies if you plan to bring your furry friend along.
