Stellar view and lots of privacy from this high field. Great place for a tent or camper van. We enjoyed the firepit, cute outhouse and outdoor shower. And trails to explore in the woods. Hosts were welcoming and the gift of fresh eggs was a bonus!

A beautiful well maintained campsite. Kathy and Tim were very friendly and helpful. The eggs they gave us on arrival were delicious and there was plenty of firewood for us to burn on the cold October nights. Everything was immaculate and clean, especially the out house with some luxury touches. All the extra details show how much they care about their guests camping experience. The property was fun to explore as well as visiting all the animals on the farm. Easy to explore the area from their place, loved the small town general stores and local creameries. Look forward to visiting in warmer weather.

We had a spectacular time at Coy Mountain Camp. Kathy and Tim were lovely and the site was amazing. Every little detail, from the provided firewood to the carton of eggs gifted on arrival, was so thoughtful and made the experience even better. We will definitely be back!!

We loved camping on Kathy and Tim’s land! This place was beautiful, peaceful, lots of privacy, and felt like heaven! So much open sky, being surrounded by the mountains and sounds of nature. The night sky was absolutely spectacular! Perfect for those who are into astrophotography. We felt so welcomed and the amenities were super thoughtful. 100% will be back, we cannot wait!

Evan’s place was awesome! He was super nice and accommodating. The best part has to be the view. The camp spot is in a nice grass clearing, right above a beautiful field of wild flowers. The view of the mountains is amazing, and the stars even better at night! Dark sky area for sure. His friendly dog Reggie also came and checked on us a time or two and our older lab loved running around with him. I will say it can be a bit windy (You’re in the mountains), but not a deal breaker at all, just be prepared. 10/10 recommend if your looking for peace and quiet with too notch views!

Evans land is one of a kind. Peacful, tranquil, solitude, off the beaten path yet less than 7 mins to a grocery store if needed (Shaws in Poultney). The property is very well taken care of with a huge flat area(that the dogs ran over every square inch of) for you to claim your spot! Evan messaged us to see if we needed anything and how our stay was going. The table, chairs, and insanely heavy duty fire ring were perfect creature comforts at the end of each day. The trails are well marked and made for a great day hike. The pond is cleaner than most people's pools I know and they offered many floaty things to use at your convenience. Poultney (the small town down the road) also offers shopping and great food. The visit was a dream and we will 100% be booking here again in the future, stop scrolling and book this site, you won't regret it.
PS. We had 4 bars of Verizon cell service at camp

What a beautiful space and view! We fortunately had perfect weather and my pups loved running around and exploring (and paddleboarding!). The hosts were so very kind and accommodating when I had forgotten to bring a canopy for shade.

Love this site and Kathy and Tim are wonderful hosts! It is super private, perfect for off leash dogs, super cute bathroom, 2 hanging sun showers perfect mid-afternoon, and the 360 view for star gazing is unbeatable. This was our 2nd visit and we are already wondering when we can go back.

The name says it all! Stunning views of the Green Mountains, we loved just relaxing and taking in the views. We pulled our travel trailer where we liked and there was no need to level it. It was all nice and flat. It was such a pleasure to let our dogs run and explore the trails and ponds. We didn’t partake in using the kayaks or paddleboat, but the hammock in the shade was my favorite spot. There is also a huge fire pit, and with the mountains and nighttime sky as a backdrop along with insects chirping, it was so peaceful. The charming town of Poultney is 5 minutes away and seems to have all the amenities. The hosts, Evan and Colleen, are very welcoming, accommodating and provided great communication from the moment we booked. Thank you for sharing this oasis.

Outstanding camp site !!! This Kathleen and Tim provided the most welcoming and private spot that was so quiet, full of wild life sounds and peace. Our dogs had the time of their lives running and not confined to their leashes! The views are incredible and we will be returning! 5 stars!!!!

The best ranch camping near Lake Luzerne guide
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.
