The best dog-friendly glamping in Saratoga

Just over an hour south of Lake George, Saratoga is steeped in history and natural beauty. The majestic Adirondacks loom on the horizon. Mineral water fountains dot the historic downtown of Saratoga Springs. The busy season is summer when crowds pack the Saratoga racetrack to watch the horses.

Campers who want to stay close to town can choose from private campgrounds and RV resorts. Several favorite family campgrounds are near the Daketown Town State Forest. If you don't mind bringing your own supplies, you can pitch a tent in many of the surrounding New York state parks. Most of them permit primitive camping.

The closest state campground is Moreau Lake State Park, about 13 miles from Sarasota Springs. The picturesque grounds have cabins and tent camping close to the lake. Campers get basic amenities like restrooms and picnic tables, plus a swimming beach, boat launch, and hiking trails. The park's nature center has kid-friendly programs, too.

On Great Sacandaga Lake, the Northampton Beach campground is nestled on the shore amid towering white pines. The tent sites are nicely shaded, and a sandy beach and boat launch for large crafts provide lake access. For those willing to venture north, Hearthstone Point campground has sites right on Lake George. The facilities are older, but the trailer and tent sites are large and secluded, offering a relaxing atmosphere.

Mineral springs made Saratoga Springs famous in the 1800s. Today, spas still offer the bubbly baths. The Saratoga Spa State Park is the best place to sample some, with a dozen drinking fountains along the Geyser Trail. In the winter, the park is one of the best spots for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing. Bring your own gear or rent at the Park Office.

We really loved our time at the cabin. The property is easy to access and the setting is peaceful and quiet. The pond is a nice added bonus and our dogs enjoyed exploring the trails in the woods. The craftsmanship of the cabin was really impressive, you can tell Courtney and Luke put a lot of effort into making this special place.

The location is ideal, surrounded by nature yet close to amenities and other activities if desired. The host's communication is prompt, helpful, kind and welcoming.

This Gnome cabin was amazing! You can see the love Courtney and Luke poured into building the cabin, outhouse and property. I wish we had a longer stay! Perfect get away. Only want to mention if others read my review and are staying this fall. As of 9/10, the lake next to the cabin is dry. I would love to come back with a full lake!

We had a perfect little getaway at the gnome cabin! It was secluded and peaceful, yet well equipped with everything we needed. It was adorable, with a clean and comfortable bed that made it easy to relax. The thoughtful details and craftsman touches throughout the space really stood out, and the décor was warm and inviting. It was also pup-friendly, which made our stay even better, and the whole place felt cozy. You can tell a lot of care went into making this place special. We absolutely loved it and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing, charming escape!

Me and my wife had a fantastic weekend. The tent is comfortable, the campsite was private, and the on-site amenities were perfect. This was also our two dogs first time camping and it couldn't have gone better. We'll be checking out the site again next year!

This site matches the description and then some. The gnome house is perfect with a comfy bed, nice solar powered lights and plenty of potable water delivered by a foot pump system to the hammered copper sink. It was clean and welcoming. The pond was mostly dry due to our drought but there are nice places to hike with the pups. The picnic table and fire pit with a cooking grate make being outdoors relaxing and easy.

I loved this adorable little spot. Perfect for someone like me who just wanted to be in the middle of the Vermont green mountain wood. The drive was beautiful. The lil gnome cabin was just perfect. Clean and quaint. It has everything you'll need: pots, pans, French coffee press, seasonings, coffee, tea, silverware, books, 8 gallons of water, extra T.P., picnic table, blankets, sheets and 2 pillows, large 'orca' cooler, and solar power. The only things I should have got extra of were wood and water. You can refill the water container as needed. The toilet was very clean and comfy. Unfortunately at this time of the year the pond is dry. But the cute lil sunfish came right up to me. There's lots of rocks to explore on the property and so many little critters that emerge at night or after a rainfall (newts, slugs, millipedes, daddy long legs) . Lots of shade. NO BUGS!! ( Second time in the green mountains and noticed this before) Trails all around on the property and up the street about a mile is the Endless Brook trailhead. Lovely property. No cell service. Very quiet. Courtney was available by phone whenever needed. They thought of everything and the hard work that went into this place shows. I Felt safe and rested. I learned allot about gnomes and searched near and far. I could feel them around but never did see any. Though I'm sure they saw me frolicking around . I will definitely be back here again.

My sweetheart and I have been to over 30 different Hipcamps at this point... I can honestly say that this site is among our top 3, if not number 1! Absolutely perfect site! Its incredibly well kept, very private, beautiful and peaceful. Like others have said you can really feel the love and effort the hosts have put into it. All the small details add up to something truly special. The cabin itself is out of a fairytale. Comfortable, clean and oozing with charm. The hosts were communicative and helpful. The site was clearly marked and easy to find. Lots of good food very close by. We planned on exploring the nearby lake but we were so happy and content at the site we never made it. I can't recommend this site enough. We will be returning for sure.
