The best dog-friendly glamping in Adirondacks

The Adirondack Mountains in New York State cover roughly 6 million acres, about half of which is forest preserve. That's larger than the Everglades, Yellowstone, Glacier and Grand Canyon National Park combined.

Forever Wild is the motto here--and it makes camping all the more magical. Pristine forests cover the gentle mountains, with rivers and lakes to explore. Over a dozen state campgrounds dot the region, from family-friendly sites to primitive lean-tos. You can also find private campgrounds and camping resorts with Adirondack cottages and log cabins.

Cranberry Lake offers classic Adirondack camping with a sandy beach and fishing pier to cast off. Rollins Pond near Saranac Lake has boat rentals for a variety of small crafts, making it great for boaters. Or bring your own boat to Forked Lake campground for plenty of privacy. Many of the tent sites have private docks and are accessible only on by boat or on foot. Most of the state grounds have trailer sites for RVs. But if you want electrical and sewage hook-ups, you'll need to stay at one of the nearby private RV parks.

Camping is bare-bones but beautiful in the Moose River Plains Preserve. This wilderness area offers private sites and quiet nights, with both rustic campgrounds and primitive sites. Hiking trails crisscross the small lakes in this forest, making it ideal for backpackers.

To really leave civilization, pitch camp at the many lean-tos scattered across the forests. These shelters provide true wilderness immersion. But you'll need to trade basics like bathrooms and water. The Uphill and Beaver Point lean-tos are well-situated if you're climbing high peaks like Mount Colden.

Anglers can find campgrounds close to some of the region's best fishing. The Meadowbrook campground is about 5 miles from Lake Placid for trout fishing. The Wilmington Notch campground on the Ausable River has some of the best fly-fishing in the country.

So welcoming and peaceful! When I met Savanna upon arrival, she said, “the camp is a labor of love.” And it shows! She and her husband Brad have made a little slice of heaven in a beautiful stand of hard woods and mature white pine. The cabin is off grid but powered up by a high-capacity battery. Super comfy and cozy, it’s a great one-room refuge. Bonus points for the screened porch entryway and easy chairs. A bath house is a short walk with an outdoor work sink and a lovely interior with tile floors, nice shower, and bath sink I’d be proud to have in my home. Warm, clean, and inviting, it’s a beautiful bath house. Tho there is no wi-fi, cell works well-enough to stream a movie or podcast. Highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to Northfield Flower Farm

Amazing experience! The yurt is gorgeously hand painted, set in a beautiful mature forest, with hundreds of trilliums blooming everywhere. The mattress was comfy and warm, we grilled our supper on the fire outside and watched the stars peek out over head. On the way back through the path, you get a beautiful view of the farm and then we were greeted by cows who came running for head scratches. What a wonderful stay, I hope to be back soon.

Weekend Trip to C.Valley Alpaca and Beef Ranch

I just wanted to write about Les and Jenny's place and share our absolute delight with our recent stay. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by the most adorable alpacas! They added such a charming touch to our surroundings and made for some wonderful photo opportunities. The cabin was immaculate, warm, and cozy with the pellet stove - the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The little touches of cabin decor and the abundant windows for natural light, really made us feel at home (that we wish to have!). We've already recommended your the cabin to our friends, and we will find an excuse come back again soon! Reminder: no running water and winter-y things like that! But there is electricity & the pellet stove was a luxury!

Weekend Trip to C.Valley Alpaca and Beef Ranch

What an absolutely stunning property. The views are beautiful and the animals, ranging from a barn cat, a wonderful dog, and some endearingly funny looking alpacas, add a charm of their own to your stay. Les and Jenny were gracious hosts, communicative, and even went as far as to invite me to church Sunday morning. Overall, my dog and I had a great stay in a serene environment; it was just the weekend we were looking for. I will certainly be back to stay with the Alpacas again.

We came here for our one year anniversary and it was beautiful! The pictures can’t do the place enough justice, it’s amazingly cozy and spacious inside the cabin, there are an array of animals ranging from alpacas to farm cats to dogs, etc. Les and Jenny always checked in on us and made sure we were warm and always had water, would recommend!
