We are located in the High Peaks of the Adirondacks between Lake Champlain and Lake Placid. The area is legendary for a multitude of hiking trails, mountain biking, and lakes/rivers for paddling. There are amazing natural environments such as Ausable Chasm and it's also an area rich in American historical sites. We are centrally located making area events and popular destinations an easy drive. We are also close to Rt 87 for ease of access yet far enough away to enjoy plenty of quiet and space in nature. The 2 RV site areas are very large with ample space for large RV turnaround and parking for vehicle. We are 300 feet off a road and are surrounded by small hamlets and villages within the park. There is so much to do in this vacation wonderland. Enjoy local breweries and vineyards during your visit. In addition, most every drive is a scenic drive and traffic is almost nonexistent except in some areas during high tourism. You will love it here! We do! The Adirondack Park (ADK) consists of old growth forests that cover more than 100,000 acres of public land in the Park and we live in the park. The Adirondacks also includes the headwaters of five major drainage basins. Lake Champlain and the Hudson, Black, St. Lawrence and Mohawk Rivers all draw water from the Adirondack Park. Adirondack forests and wetlands filter and provide clean water for many communities in NY.

27 nights at Adirondack Magic

Lori and Ray are the BEST hosts! The site is very well maintained, clean and spacious! Their driveway is wide enough to accommodate even a large motorhome. When you get here Lori and Ray will be there to welcome you and are a wealth of information to the area and all the things to see and do. The site is set up to easily reach everything from your water, power, sewer and trash. The property is very private but yet a stone throw from town and just a 30 min drive to Lake Placid, Plattsburgh etc and some of the best apple orchards in the United States! The views are stunning and hiking trails galore. If you come here expect to see lots of wildlife grazing nearby and the night sky is amazing. We spent a month here and we can’t wait to come back, Ray and Lori were the perfect hosts, friendly, accommodating, and just the nicest people ever. Every year this will be our “go to place” and our hidden gem to escape every day life. We can’t recommend enough! They get five star rating from us!

Lori and Roy were fantastic hosts at Adirondack Magic. Upon arrival, they were very welcoming, and walked me through all the steps to make my stay as enjoyable as possible. They also provided me with information on what events were going on in the surrounding area which made me feel very connected to the surrounding community. After introductions, they were very respectful of privacy, and only reached out if there were important updates to be shared. They're proximity to the main hiking areas is so ideal, and its such a short drive into town to stock up on supplies if need be (hardware store, groceries, gas ect.). Lori and Roy even arranged an outing with myself and fellow campers, and drove us to a local brewery to enjoy some local beer, pizza and live music. such a fun experience! hope to be back soon!

Ken hosts one of the most incredible campsites I’ve had the pleasure of staying at, and it doesn’t hurt that he’s one of the kindest souls I’ve met too! Make sure to bring a camera when you visit, the view is not something you’ll want to forget, nor the beautiful sites around the campground. This is a must-stay, and I won’t be surprised if Ken ends up being booked year-round!!! (Also, we recommend a car with higher suspension and four wheel drive as to make the trip up to the lean-to easier!) Thanks Ken :)

Ken’s site is just perfect. To die for view. Very nice lean to with a hammock where we stood our tent. Clear instructions. He sent a map and called to make sure we will settle good. You need a four wheel vehicle to get close to the lean to. Otherwise, there’s a nice campsite near the bathhouse as well. We loved our stay here. Felt super safe. And the outhouse is very accessible too if you need to go in the middle of the night. Thank you, Ken!

Lori and Ray are great hosts. Very helpful in providing info on the area, showing how things work, doing whatever possible to make things convenient (eg, they provided a pooper scooper to use!) etc. Their sites are nicely located, very flat and a great jumping off point to see Lake Champlain, Lake Placid and all the beautiful trails in-between. Overall, a very nice experience and we would definitely return.

We had such a great experience here! The hosts were wonderful, friendly and welcoming, even coming down to meet us when we arrived. The only surprise was how close their home was, but honestly, they gave us our space and we still felt totally secluded once settled in. Nights were magical with all kinds of cool animal noises, which added to the Adirondack vibe. The location couldn’t be better, right across from an Amish stand, close to endless hiking trails, and just a short drive to Lake Placid. The town nearby was super convenient too whenever we needed supplies. This ended up being one of my favorite trips. If you’re looking for a peaceful, nature-filled spot with kind hosts and plenty of adventure nearby, this is it

Absolutely spectacular! We loved the view and the protection from the rain. We could not believe how beautiful the bath house was. We drove up to the lean to set up camp but just walked up to the tent after that.

Weekend Trip to The Deer Crib at Flat Rock Farm

Second annual Labor Day camping trip at the Deer Crib. We had such a wonderful time. Two adults and the dogs in the cabin, one family in a tent, and one in a truck camper. The field is the perfect spot to pitch all the tents and have room to play. The double outhouse is super convenient. The fire ring and supplied wood made for the best place to hang out all weekend. Marlene and Craig supply lots of water for washing dishes in the dry sink and there are utensils, dishes, and cooking tools available as well. So many little touches (ex a roll of paper towels) to make things convenient for their guests. The property is great. We went for lots of walks on the trail, tried to catch frogs in the pond, and started gazed at night. Such a wonderful trip. We can’t wait for next year!
