Camping near Schroon Lake

·

With its lush, forested shores and sandy beach, Schroon Lake paints a pretty picture, but there’s more to this small town than photo-worthy views. Stay lakeside to swim, sail, and fish, try parasailing, or play a game of golf, then set out into the surrounding wilderness to hike the Hoffman Notch and Mount Severance trails. Winter visitors are within minutes of the Adirondacks ski resorts, but you can also enjoy snow tubing, sledding, and ice fishing around the lake. There’s a state campground and several private campgrounds to choose from, many with direct access to the water.

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!

Our Family has owned this property for over 60 years. Jim & Sue spend their summers here. Our son recently vacationed at some great glamping sites around the country and had a vision of creating one on our property. We are excited to share the experience of what camping in this historic region of the Adirondacks is all about. Black Hole & Dunkley Falls campsite is located on an 80-acre old Adirondack farm. The Mill Creek runs along with this property, which features access to the scenic Dunkley Falls & The Black Hole — a cavernous geological anomaly. This famous swimming spot is a perfect place to test your nerve with a backflip off its 20 ft cliffs or just take a leisurely swim in the naturally formed glacier pool. Like to fish? The Mill Creek is also stocked annually with over 3000 brown & rainbow trout. All of this is just a short walk from our property. Onsite: Two Canvas Wall Tents (16ft X 14ft ) and Outhouse. In addition to the Canvas Wall Tents, we have a canvas bell tent for rent for larger groups. You can reserve this by adding it as an extra when checking out with us here at Hipcamp.

In 2020, my husband and I became the proud owners of Lake Home Farm. For many years my grandparents rented row boats at this campsite which brought so much joy to so many. We are excited to engage with Tentrr and our campers to share this gem while continuing the relationship with our neighbor who crops the land. Note: this campsite is named after Dot, Dot lived in Ludlow, VT and she spent her summers at this site for all the years of my childhood. She was famous for her turtle soup and we're delighted to remember her in this way!

A great location that’s close to all your exploring and vacation desires. The Black Mountain hiking trail overlooks the beauty of the “Queen of American Lakes” and is just minutes away. We’re only a couple of miles from the county beach on Lake George! This is a quiet location—especially ideal for a weekend recharge. Whether you’re looking for a base camp for exploring the area or a place to park your camper on your way through, this is a fantastic spot. There is a lot of rich history locally as we’re just miles from the birthplace of the US Navy and a scenic drive away from Fort Ticonderoga.

Champlain Valley Alpacas and Beef is a family farm owned and operated by the Foshay family since 1998. Our girls, Gracie and Olivia are grown now. Gracie is married to Jaron and they live in Glendale,AZ . Olivia and her husband Guthrie own and operate American Window Cleaning II. Our herd of alpacas once was shown successfully in the Eastern States, now mostly range on the farm, having sweet cria (babies), growing magnificent fiber and effortlessly entertaining throngs of wedding guests! Our beef herd, comprised of Black and Red Angus, Hereford and Belted Galways has fluxuated as the market and hay supplies demand. We have a vineyard of Marquette grapes that are so delicious, that we have to race the birds for them in the fall. Our land is quiet, off the beaten path, and brimming with beautiful views of mountains, hills, valleys with winding creeks. This property has seen years of agriculture as a sheep farm, dairy farm and a fence company. We are happy to share this land and our gentle creatures with you. Learn more about this land: We are a working Alpaca and Beef farm in Central Vermont. Our cottage is available in the spring, summer and fall to Airbnb guests. Recently we have added the winter season for the adventurous Clamping crowd. The cottage is very private, with alpacas nearby. Hiking, xc-skiing (bring your own) and The Vast (Snowmobile)trails are also nearby. We have amazing western views of the Adirondack mountains, and are 20 minutes from Middlebury, Vergennes; 1 hour from Burlington and Rutland and 45min from Middlebury Snowbowl Ski Area.

Camping near Schroon Lake guide

Where to go

Lake Champlain Valley

East of Schroon Lake, the forested peaks and fishing lakes of the Pharaoh Lake Wilderness Area are dotted with rustic cabins and primitive campsites. For lakeside views, the island camping at Lake George is unrivaled, and you’ll have your pick of activities from hot air ballooning and paragliding to water-skiing and stand-up paddleboarding. Along the coast of the Adirondacks, Lake Champlain provides plenty of options for hiking, camping, and boating.  

High Peaks

The jagged peaks and forested valleys of the Adirondacks’ High Peaks loom on the horizon northwest of Schroon Lake. There’s hiking to suit all levels, from scaling the 5,000+ feet peaks of Mt Marcy and Algonquin to rugged wilderness trails, and camping here is all about getting back to nature. Pitch your tent at primitive campsites along the main trails or seek out remote backcountry camping in the valleys. 

Central Adirondacks

There’s more highland hiking and backcountry camping at the heart of the Adirondacks. Pitch your tent within the Blue Mountain Wild Forest or Siamese Pond Wilderness, or camp on the islands at Indian Lake. Also in the area is the Adirondacks’ largest ski resort at Gore Mountain and the popular resort town of Long Lake.

When to go

The best time for swimming and boating at Schroon Lake is May through September, and advance bookings are highly recommended for the town’s campsites. Summer through fall provides the most favorable weather for hiking in the Adirondacks, and leaf peepers will find autumnal views aplenty around the lake. With easy access to the region’s ski resorts, it’s a popular spot in winter, too, but some campgrounds close in low season, so check ahead.

Know before you go

  • Having your own transportation is highly recommended to get to and around Schroon Lake.
  • Schroon Lake has grocery stores, restaurants, and shops selling camping and fishing supplies. 
  • Tick season runs from April through September in the Schroon 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 any kind of fishing. 
  • Backcountry camping is allowed on state forest land through Adirondack Park, but you can’t camp within 150 feet of any road, trail, or body of water unless marked with a “camp here” sign.
