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...Brookside campsite on flat grassy or gravel area with outdoor kitchen, outdoor shower, and 20amp electric hookup.

Hosts were absolutely delightful and the site was beautiful and well kept. They made sure we had everything we needed and even gave us fresh tomatoes and flowers. 10/10 recommend and would absolutely go back. This place is so awesome I want to gatekeep it.

I just returned home from three nights at Sweetwood but I still feel as if I'm in a dream. Tom and Lisa have created a peaceful, extremely private, lush oasis nestled by a literal babbling brook. Every detail was considered and artfully executed, from the pristine outhouse to the blue bottles that looked like stained glass embedded above the portal to the outdoor shower - which has hot water! You will not find more charming, generous and welcoming hosts. They met me in person when I arrived, had flowers from the garden waiting in the well outfitted kitchen and sent me off with a honey crisp apple when I left. My only regret is that I could not stay longer. There is a short but steep hill to get to the site, but my Subaru Impreza had no problem handling it. You will also hear the occasional truck on the roadway, but it isn't loud or bothersome (and I am usually extremely noise averse) thanks to the aforementioned hill which acts as a noise buffer, and the camping spot sits back quite a ways. I can't wait to go back!
