Horses-n-Harleys Farm
3 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents3 acres · Stillwater, NY
Horses-n-Harleys Farm is a sanctuary farm with 4 rescue horses, chickens and bunnies. We offer multiple accommodation experiences throughout all 4 seasons, and especially cater to those guests traveling with a horse and need a place to stay for a few days or longer durations.
We are 5 miles from SPAC, 0.7 miles from Saratoga Horse Shows and 7 miles from downtown Saratoga. Our modular accommodations on our farm include our RVBnB which is hosted through AirBnB (not on HipCamp), our 40ft Camper Crush-n-Run Gravel Lot, our Tent/Camper Grass Lot and our HorseBnB (accommodation for horses ONLY, and comes with access to our 60ft round pen). If you need a combo of the above accommodation spaces, please inquire when booking so we can offer you a combo rate.
All accommodations are super easy to access right off the road, and the lot driveways are traversable with 2WD car/truck, camper, trailer or motorcycle.
We offer a partial Boondock setups for our 2 human accommodation spaces. This partial boondock setup includes access to our well water via drinking-grade hose, and access to our modern outhouse. You will need to provide your own electric via generator, and do your own black tank dump at a 24-7 dump located 11 miles away from our property. We do offer Rhino tank and hydraulic lift rental, so if you prefer to dump into the tank and take to the offsite dump that will help you to keep your camper sitting pretty. We also offer full concierge dump service where we will empty your black tank once per week and take to the dump ourselves. Gray tanks can be emptied directly on the lots.
Something fun about our property is that we built our own modern outhouse which can be utilised year-round by all of our guests. This outhouse also includes a small tack space for our horse guest travelers. Guests are also welcome to enjoy morning hot coffee in our main barn, and chill out on the oversized couch in there (dogs welcome too!). We offer seasonal produce and goodies at our farmstand, and should be offering eggs by end of November 2023.
We are open for Winter RVing in 2023/2024 (RV/camper only). Please be experienced and well-versed in the hazards of Winter RVing before booking - it is not for the feint of heart or inexperienced. If you are staying in a trailer/camper you will need to insulate the bottom of your camper with a skirt or foam insulation. We do not allow tent camping during the Winter season (that's just a little too adventurous for even us!). If you'd like a nice and warm space to stay on our farm during Winter, head on over to AirBnB for our RVBnB: https://airbnb.com/h/rv-with-a-view
For Winter we provide 100ft of heated hose connected to our well water (you will need to have your own 50ft+ heated hose to connect to our heated hose in order to access the water from your lot) - this water connection is only available on the 40ft Camper Crush-n-Run Lot. On the Tent/Camper Grass Lot you will NOT have access to onsite water so you will need to bring your own water. The outhouse is open during the Winter, and we will instruct you on what to do to keep things flowing nicely in there.
For those traveling with a horse in Winter, please be advised that the stall is NOT heated and the water trough is outdoors (we maintain flowing water by regular breaking up the ice during the day, and bringing hot water buckets).

Camping near Lake Luzerne with fishing guide
Overview
On the southern cusp of the Adirondack Mountains, Lake Luzerne is a small town with a big sense of adventure. Forested slopes lead down the shores of the namesake lake, where you can swim, fish, and kayak from the three sandy beaches. Just minutes away, the Hudson River is the spot for river tubing, stand-up paddleboarding, or jet-skiing, or you can head out into the hills to hike, mountain bike, or horseback ride. Campers can stay lakeside at the state campground just north of town, pitch a tent along the Hudson, or seek out backcountry campsites in the surrounding wilderness.
Where to go
Lake Champlain Valley
Northeast of Lake Lucerne, campers make a beeline for Lake George, the “Queen of American Lakes,” where you can enjoy everything from paragliding to water-skiing. If you’re lucky enough to snag a spot (sites can book up months in advance), camping on the lake’s private islands is an unmissable experience. To the north, there’s first-come, first-served primitive camping in the Pharaoh Lake Wilderness Area, and plenty of choice around Lake Champlain on the Vermont border.
Western Foothills
Heading west, lowland lakes and forested valleys blanket the western foothills. If you’re looking to escape the crowds and explore the wilderness, you’ll find some of the region’s best backcountry camping around the Moose River Plains, while rustic shelters dot the trails of the West Canada Lakes Wilderness Area. There’s also island camping on Indian Lake and plenty of RV camping around Old Forge and Inlet.
Hudson Valley
The Hudson River curls its way south from Lake Luzerne in an endless panorama of forested riverbanks and historic towns. Albany and Hudson are the main hubs, but there are camping and glamping options dotted along the riverside and hidden away in the surrounding countryside. West of Hudson, head into the Catskill Mountains to hike, mountain bike, camp, or ski, depending on the season.
When to go
The best time to visit Lake Luzerne is from May to August, when the weather is ideal for swimming, water sports, and tent camping. This is peak season, and popular spots can get crowded, so book ahead. Hiking is particularly scenic in fall when the landscapes are aglow with autumnal colors. Ski season in the Adirondacks runs from November through April, but there are backcountry cabins, cozy glampsites, and RV parks open year-round.
Know before you go
- Lake Luzerne has grocery stores, restaurants, and shops selling camping and fishing supplies.
- Tick season runs from April through September in the Lake Luzerne region, so cover up when hiking and check for ticks after outdoor activities.
- There is no fee to enter Adirondack Park, but state campgrounds charge a fee, and many require reservations. A New York State Fishing License is required for any kind of fishing.
- Backcountry camping is allowed on state forest land through Adirondack Park, but you must not camp within 150 feet of any road, trail, or body of water unless marked with a “camp here” sign.
