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.

Leishman point is owned by the Town of Waddington and was created during the construction of the St. Lawrence Seaway. Dredge spoils were transported and placed creating a tract of land that rises 50 feet above the river and surrounding lands. The New York Power Authority acquired the property from the Leishman's who owned and operated a farm on the surrounding lands. In 2000, the New York Power Authority deemed the property surplus and conveyed it to the Town of Waddington. This Hip-Camp endeavor is hopefully our first step in creating a fully functional RV Park and campsite for everyone to enjoy. Visit the Town of Waddington Museum at the Old Town Hall for more information on the construction of the the St. Lawrence Seaway and how it transformed Waddington. Learn more about this land: Park your RV or camper trailer or pitch your tent on top of Leishman Point in Waddington, New York and enjoy the unobstructed views of, and unlimited access to the majestic St. Lawrence River. The Waddington public beach is adjacent to the campsite with swimming, playground, and pavilion for all to enjoy. Bring your boat and safely moor it at the public docks at the beach.

48mi from Potsdam · 1 site · Tent, RV · Vermontville, NY
Quaint, private campsite on babbling Adirondack brook for singles or couples only at our 180 yr old farm. Though we love children and critters, we created our campsite as a quiet private refuge for adults, couples or singles, no pets please. We can accommodate a tent, campervan or small tow behind camper ( less than 16 feet). Your private access off a two lane state road goes 200 feet through a mown meadow, down a short graveled incline to the edge of a lovely babbling brook. There are two gravel pads to choose from or set your tent up on the grass. There is "limited" 20 amp electrical power available, you can plug in your rig but it won't support all your 30 amp RV demands. There is an open air shower house with hot water, an outdoor kitchen with a sink and small refrigerator. The water in the sink/shower and hose bib is filtered brook water and NOT POTABLE !! We will supply a 5 gallon dispenser of drinking water for your use. When nature calls there is a very nice, very clean outhouse, complete with curtains. There is dry split campfire wood in the woodshed available for sale by adding cash to a lock box. It is a honest/honor system. There is a small deck with two vintage chairs overlooking a small waist deep plunge pool that is a great way to cool off on a hot day. There are also a couple of shady spots for a nap in your hammock. Our 15 acre homestead dates back to 1840. We live in the restored original post and beam Cape that is flanked by vintage barns and outbuildings. We are recently retired and have a small organic farm and woodworking shop. Our property is conveniently accessed by a two lane state road that goes through Saranac Lake (10 mi) on the way to Lake Placid(18 mi). The numerous local mountains, lakes and rivers provide limitless opportunities for outdoor recreation. Excellent bike routes can be accessed right from your campsite or you can drive to the new Adk Rail Trail or local Mtn bike areas. We live and work here, 500 ft from the site. We are, therefore, available to help with logistical issues and more importantly can recommend anything from backcountry rambles to fine dining and of course the best local brewpubs, one is 3 miles away. We can just as easily disappear... Please ask any questions you might have...
