An amazing site! A lot of beautiful fall foliage, plenty of space, dedicated fire ring & bench, and the host being so amazing and waiting to guide me to my spot because my Google Maps was tricking me and I showed up after dark and was lost. Thank you! I woke up to chirping birds and a serene beautiful view.

Liked it so much I came back twice
Outstanding. Super beautiful, secluded spot. Moussa is very responsive and kind. We only booked one night to start but wound up staying almost a whole week.
You can’t go wrong here. An amazing stay at an amazing price.

Private, beautiful, clean, best view you can ask for! Best host! We arrived 1am and he was waiting to greet us! Truly a gem
I am new to Hipcamp, but Moussa's space is setting a pretty high bar! He was incredibly helpful guiding me to a perfect spot upon arrival, and in the morning he gave me a tour of his wonderful property. Lots of room to roam, with trails, tons of groomed grassy area, and even a marked trail to the top of Mt Carney!
Be sure to use the address when getting directions, as the GPS coordinates are not accurate.
I would highly recommend, and can't wait for my next chance to stay.

Moussa is always available last minute and makes sure to have the porter potty unlocked. He has firewood for his guests and cares about them.

I am a repeat guest. I was able to finally find Ashias grave and I paid my respects. I am glad I can continue to enjoy this special place. Thanks so much.
Moussa was a great host, Met us late in the night to show us the sites and options and was very helpful. The whole area was delightful. Dogs loved running around and hanging out by the fire too!

We keep coming back. Moussa is a wonderful host to a beautiful site. Ubuntu is our home in the Adirondacks as often as we can make it. This trip we explored local towns and trails. Enjoying a breathtaking view of the stars our last night. Though we had other campers there we still felt very private at our site, the outhouse is impeccably clean, and the grounds very well kept! Can’t wait for our next trip.
Moussa continues to provide a clean and well maintained camp site. It is wonderful to get him more in the absence of his wife , due to her passing. He is a wonderful man with a gentle soul. Thanks, sir.
I really enjoyed staying here and I was happy to see that Mousa was carrying on the tradition of carrying of Ashia's legacy. Thank you for mowing the land and keeping up the property up. I really enjoy staying each season when I work for the Town of Keen doing Hiker education

Beautiful, quiet, secluded, and affordable - all the things I was looking for. As an extra plus, the property has possibly the nicest and most pleasantly smelling compost outhouse I have ever used. If you camp regularly, you understand.
The host was lovely - very friendly and communicative. Hoping I have the opportunity to make it back some other time!

We loved spending the night on Moussa's land. Mountain View campsite has a spectacular view and feels very private up the hill. The fire pit is a wonderful design, how the cinder blocks capture the light of the fire makes it feel really bright. Thank you for the logs! The bundle lasted us all night. We look forward to returning someday.

A very well-managed and well-maintained campsite. It was quiet and peaceful, making it the perfect place to relax. Waking up to the beautiful mountain view each morning was a real highlight. Moussa was welcoming, friendly, and responsive throughout our stay. The outhouse was exceptionally clean—I felt completely comfortable using it, and the pleasant cedar aroma was a lovely touch. We had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend this campsite to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway.

Everything was great at this campsite! Moussa is hyper nice and accommodating. There is also plenty of space on his land for every camper to maintain a great intimacy in the beautiful nature around us. Thanks again for your hospitality, Moussa.
This is my third time visiting Ubuntu, and won’t be my last. The tent sites are spaced out well and very well kept. Our first day was heavy with rain, but our location was easy to set up and dried quickly. You are so close to some amazing things, we visited Plattsburgh during a rainy day and had a great lunch and walking around downtown. The Ausable River is one of the most beautiful sites I’ve laid my eyes on, if you go to town of Jay they have a covered bridge and easy access to the river below, locals and tourist both go down to swim, relax, and if your like me look at all the blue shiny labradorite the sun can reflect on the river bed.
Moussa was a great host, responsive and extremely friendly, thank you Moussa for opening up this space for people to enjoy.
Lastly, seeing the night sky from here is beyond words, we came at the full strawberry moon and it was breathtaking!

Great place to tent camp! Mountain View site was really nice: excellent view (naturally), big fire pit, easy to pull up on a motorcycle and make camp. I would definitely stay again.

I had a great last week at Aisha's land and thanks so much for a great season. I had so many special memories here this fall. Thanks.
Second visit with my dog. We had the place to ourselves on a fall afternoon & evening, & it was lovely. It's a great stopping point on our trips to Montreal.

This was my last weekend at Aisha's land and I want to thank her for making my fall work camping season special.
Spent one night at Ubuntu while exploring the Adirondacks with my doggo. Loved the privacy of the site, views of hillsides with fall colors, stargazing and walking paths! Aisha was kind and attentive when she greeted us and the wood bundle was a generous size and dry. There were other campers, but the smaller site in the woods was completely private. Would go back!

I am a repeat guest. I made it up to Carney mountain because I was able to slow down and take a break from the 46ers. Aisha continues to make me feel welcomed and at home.
Beautiful site with so much space with a fire ring and a picnic table. Aisha went above and beyond and met me upon arrival. Without asking, she considered what I might need most and suggested to have the site closest to the outhouse. As a solo woman traveling, I really appreciated that. The outhouse also smelled awesome with the cedar shavings you scatter after use. Her artworks brought a relaxing vibe and her living close by made me feel safe. It truly deserves to be the best of hipcamps in NY.
