You don't have to be an interpretive dancer (though it's probably recommended) to understand the helpful interpretive signs that describe the six distinct habitats through which the Beaver Pond Nature Trail passes at Higley Flow State Park. Despite the otherwise heavily-wooded and hilly terrain, there is a sandy beach for swimming and plenty of leveled campsites so you won't roll your own little dam down stream. Take advantage of the many amenities this camp has to offer, even for winter visitors (ice fishing, anyone?), but be aware that they do allow hunting during certain peak seasons so be sure to check the calendar and throw the oranges in tow!

This off-the-grid tiny house is nestled on a 23 acre parcel at the end of a quarter-mile dirt road. The property itself is secluded but is less than 2 miles from the heart of Saranac Lake's downtown. This property is bordered by the Saranac River, the backside of Baker Mountain and State Forest. The only other building on the property is our timberframe which we may or may not be at during the time of your visit. The property does have private trails up to the cliffs on the backside of Baker mtn however, the Saranac River is down a steep embankment so it does not make for a good place to launch a boat (several public boat launches nearby).
The Mt Baker tiny house is a great basecamp for hiking the Saranac Lake 6-ers, paddling/boating along the Saranac Chain of lakes or Saranac River, Mountain Biking at Dewey, Pisgah or other nearby BETA trails.
IMPORTANT DETAILS:
This tiny cabin is completely off the grid: no electricity, heat or cooling.
Queen sized bed - we provide the linens.
The driveway is narrow - so nothing in tow.
Drinking water is provided via jug and dispenser.
There is a brand new outhouse (no flushable toilet)
We have a designated spot for campfires (smores are a must)
There is an older propane grill outside for guest use

As far as we know, this land has been occupied since shortly after the civil war. It is actually two farms, combined into one around 1900. The main farmhouse was built out of the logs they cleared in 1879, and there are old foundations of the other original farm houses/barns as well. All over the property (now woods) there are piles of stones that the original inhabitants pulled from the fields. The second farm house was built in 1901. Most of the total 240 acres were cleared pasture land at that time. During the twenties and thirties the property was owned by an industrious couple from the City that lovingly turned it into more of a "rustic retreat"; damming a pond, planting ornamentals and upgrading the buildings. There have been many owners over the years, but we are proud to say it has been with us the longest. Our family bought it in 1961 and we have been trying to be good stewards ever since. Come and visit our little patch of wilderness!

For over 60 years, our family has spent summers on this 80‑acre Adirondack farm, and now we’re sharing it with guests. Rented as one private camp (no shared sites), Black Hole & Dunkley Falls Glamping is ideal for couples and families who want real Adirondack nature with the comfort of fully set‑up canvas tents—no gear required.
The camp sits on a secluded corner of our property near Mill Creek, just minutes from the famous Black Hole and Dunkley Falls swimming area. The deep, glacier‑carved pool and rock walls make it a classic local spot to cool off on hot summer days. The swimming hole is publicly accessible nearby (not on our land), so you get easy access without day‑use crowds at the campsite. Cliff jumping is at your own risk; children must be supervised at all times.
Your booking includes both canvas wall tents as a single, private site:
Two 16' x 14' canvas wall tents, fully set up on arrival
Comfortable beds with mattresses and linens
Simple furnishings: chairs, tables, and places to relax inside and out
Fire pit and outdoor cooking area with basic cooking gear
Camp lighting plus a portable electric generator
Potable water on‑site with refills at our nearby cabin
Outhouse with shower stall and 5‑gallon solar shower bags
For larger groups (up to a maximum of 8 guests), you can add our canvas bell tent as an extra when booking. You can drive right up to the site, which makes arrival and unloading easy for families and anyone who doesn’t want to haul gear.
From camp, you can enjoy:
Mill Creek fishing (stocked annually with brown and rainbow trout)
Woods walks and nearby hiking
Whitewater rafting on the Hudson River Gorge (Class III–IV) with local outfitters
Day trips to North Creek, Gore Mountain, and Lake George (about 20 miles away)
We personally greet guests on arrival, give a quick tour, show you how to use the showers and where to refill water, and share local tips. After that, you’ll have a quiet, private camp in the woods to yourselves. Cell service is limited; AT&T tends to work best. There is no Wi‑Fi at the tents, but you can briefly access Wi‑Fi at our cabin if needed. This is bear country: all food and trash must be stored securely, and all garbage must be packed out. If trash is left behind, a $50 cleaning fee will be charged

Overlook Lean-To, Treehouse, primitive campsites, and so much more! This is glamping at its finest. Our property was originally used as a seasonal hunting/fishing camp in the 1920's. Sheila and Bob bought it in the early 80s and have turned it into an amazing compound built for their family. They blinked their eyes and their children are gone, so this beautiful 50 acre diverse property and its private trail system are meant to be shared.
Nestled in a mature, private pine forest, this well cared for property boasts abundant wildlife and a network of walking, skiing and mountain biking trails which take you past wetlands, cliffs and a variety of forest types. They have all kinds of lodging options from a beautiful vacation cabin they rent, to an Adk lean-to, to a Treehouse, and primitive campsites. You'll find a little bit for everyone at Adirondack Adventure Base.

Weekend Trip to Magikal trails
Very funky trails filled with small trinkets. It was fun to explore the property! It’s clear that a lot of love has gone into the whole space!! The lean-to and outhouse were definitely DIY and felt sturdy but Les robust than I was expecting. The lean-to was cozy though and had a heavy curtain to keep out the majority of the bugs and also helped insulate the space a bit so we stayed warm overnight on a chilly fall evening. Sue was super accommodating and let us charge our phones on her screened-in porch. We would stay here again!

I had a great time at the Saranac River campsites. Mike was a wonderful host! The campsites were clean, easy to find and some firewood was even provided to get us started. The campsites are a short walk to town for the adventurous which is a huge plus. The sites are close together but certainly not on top of each other and all campers were polite abs respectful. Will definitely visit again!!

We car camped at his RV spot ‘Stone Bench’. Michael was very quick to respond and met us right at our site. He was lovely and generously started a fire for us prior to our arrival, which was so amazing to pull up to after a long day of driving. Staying right next to the river was so beautiful to hear all the frogs and crickets chirping. The highway is right next to the river but the noise was actually minimal. We slept very soundly and had no issues.

My family of 6 stayed here for 2 nights in a tent and we had a wonderful time! The campsite is spacious and having potable water there was a great plus. The beach (with bathroom stalls) is a VERY short walk from the campsite if you don’t want to deal with bringing your own outhouse (not sure if the beach bathrooms get locked up at night though). There are multiple firewood stations a short walk away from camp to grab a nice big bag of wood for cooking and fires. Our kids range from ages 10 months to 7 years old and they had a great time as well - Lots of space to run and play. Stargazing was absolutely breathtaking. Insects were manageable with some bug spray. We would definitely return for another stay.

This camp was AMAZING. I was able to snag site 4, with only 2.5 days notice. The photos dont do the camp justice. I thought I was going to be in someones back yard- but this is actually part of a lake side "camping village" so it was like a dozen rvs and 5 or 6 tent sites.
The lake was gorgeous. Paul also runs a continent store that has everything!
It was a great location, has free wifi, warm clean bathrooms, boat rentals, and more!

Sue was a gracious host and has a very unique campsite with many amenities I don't usually expect. The camping site itself was tucked in the woods, and also cutely decorated. It was quiet and clean. My only suggestion would be to mark out the campsites spots a bit more clearly because I was confused of the actual spot to pitch a tent when I arrived.

Where to go
Western Foothills
West of Long Lake, a string of lakes run through the heart of the Western Foothills, hemmed in by lowland forests and wilderness areas. There are options for RV campers around Old Forge and Inlet, or you can seek out remote backcountry campsites throughout the Moose River Plains. To the south, hikers exploring the West Canada Lakes Wilderness Area can camp in tents or shelters, while nearby Indian Lake has island campsites open throughout summer.
High Peaks
Hiking nirvana lies east of Long Lake. This mountainous region is home to the 46 Adirondack ‘High Peaks’, the tallest of which—Mt Marcy and Algonquin Peak—reach over 5,000 feet. Backcountry hiking and camping in the High Peaks Wilderness Area is a thrill, but come prepared, as trails are rugged and there are no developed campsites.
North-Western Lakes
North of the High Peaks, Saranac Lake is a bustling hub for campers, where you can enjoy water sports in summer, woodland walks in fall, and snowmobiling in winter. Reserve early if you want to camp on the lake’s islands—they can book up months in advance. Further north, the Saint Regis Canoe Area is a forest-fringed wilderness where you can paddle through the wetlands and camp out at primitive sites reachable only by water.
When to go
May through August is the busiest season at Long Lake, but the lakeside town is open for business year-round. Come in summer to swim and boat, in fall to admire the rainbow of foliage along the forest trails, or in winter to hit the ski slopes. Many campgrounds in the Adirondacks are open only from April through September, but RV camping and backcountry camping is possible year-round.
Know before you go
- Long Lake has grocery stores, restaurants, and shops selling camping and fishing supplies.
- Tick season runs from April through September in the Long Lake 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 fishing.
- Backcountry camping is allowed on state forest land through Adirondack Park, but camping is not allowed within 150 feet of any road, trail, or body of water unless otherwise marked.
