Creature comforts
Enjoy the comforts of home in nature at some pitches — including real toilets, showers, and kitchen.
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.

Overlook Lean-to
Camping in the Adirondacks
Our stay at Bob and Sheila's Adirondack lean-to was truly delightful. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed by their warm hospitality. Bob and Sheila's passion for camping and the outdoors was evident in every aspect of our experience. They were caring hosts who went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and enjoyment. The location itself was a haven for nature enthusiasts, surrounded by the beauty of the Adirondack wilderness. We couldn't have asked for a better camping spot, and we look forward to returning in the future. Thank you, Bob and Sheila, for a wonderful adventure in the great outdoors!

Woodland Grove Camping
Great campground on a very cool property. Striking distance to lots of cool spots like Lake Clear, the Wild Center and Lake Placid. We stayed here for 2 nights with our 7 and 5yo kids during a week long road trip. Would definitely recommend!

Shelia and Bob were exceptional host. Their sites were pristine and even better than advertised. They were extremely communicative and lovely to work with. We will certainly stay with them again.

The Winter Campers
Sheila’s camp grounds offered us the perfect winter camping experience! Wrapped in winters white embrace amid the snow soaked trees, we enjoyed absolute silence and a captivating star gaze. With the warm welcome, great communication, activity suggestion and impromptu hospitality to less than prepared campers, we couldn’t have asked for time outside. Thanks, Sheila and Bob

Base Camp
Sheila and Bob are wonderful hosts! The property was fun to explore. Each site is lovingly set up; we took our Class C 20 ft RV. There was a gorgeous fire ring and picnic table and a classy privy 😊

The Magical Treehouse
My wife and I loved our stay in Sheila and Bob's treehouse. They were warm and welcoming hosts, and their care is evident in the lovely little details (hand drawn map, complimentary maple syrup). The property is beautiful and makes a great base for exploring the region. Hope to stay again sometime!
