“Ubuntu” Def: An ancient African word meaning “Humanity to others”. It is a reminder of “I am what I am because of who we all are.” We do our best to bring the spirit of Ubuntu to our lives and property that we have been graced with. We hope your visit to Ubuntu will be peaceful and rejuvenating. Ubuntu was the PERFECT place to observe the Northern Lights on Friday and Saturday (May 10-11). Campers at Ubuntu found the perfect spot to observe the April 8th TOTAL solar eclipse. There are no lights, no neighbors in sight, and they had the freedom to choose their campsite or observation point, whether it was on the flat, nestled in the trees, or on top of Carney Mountain. RV’s also easily found a spot to camp. New friends were made as everyone observed the eclipse. It was totally awe inspiring in so many ways!! The open areas and the top of Carney Mountain, which is a short hike with panoramic views of the area, were perfect spots to experience the solar eclipse, Northern Lights, sunrises and sunsets. The 115 acres of Ubuntu offer many opportunities for camping, hiking and enjoying the abundant wildlife. There is a wet area that sometimes becomes several ponds if the beavers have been at work. There is a path leading to the ponds and also one that runs through the woods to the right of the ponds. The location is private and quiet but still very accessible (only 10 minutes from Exit 34 off the Northway) to all the Adirondacks has to offer, such as biking, jogging, kayaking, canoeing, fishing, and hiking. Ubuntu is located only 45 minutes from Lake Placid and the high peaks areas, Saranac Lake is about one hour away, Lake Champlain is 20 minutes away, and Montreal is one hour away. The ferry to Vermont if you wish to cross over the pond (Lake Champlain) is about 45 minutes away. And Exit 34 off the Northway is only 10 minutes from Ubuntu. And if you love equestrian sports, the Willow Hill Equestrian Center is less than 1.5 miles away. Bring your horse and stable your buddy at the Willow Hill Farm, or sign up for a lesson with one of their accomplished instructors. Your furry pets are welcome, but we ask that you keep them on a leash if they tend to chase game or do not have a reliable recall. Please use good judgment. There are many deer on the property, so yes we do have ticks. Please take the necessary precautions. Generators are allowed but in keeping with the peace and tranquility of Ubuntu, please run them only between the hours of 12:00 - 2 PM, especially if other campers are present.. If there are no other campers then use at your own discretion. We hope that your visit to Ubuntu will be a great experience that you will enjoy and treasure! In Peace, Aisha and Moussa

Aisha's campsite offers a serene and picturesque setting that has consistently impressed visitors. With stunning views, peaceful surroundings, and a welcoming host, campers have found it to be an ideal spot for relaxation and stargazing. The unique gallery outhouse adds a charming touch to the experience. While overwhelmingly positive, it's important to note that the site is best suited for those who are self-reliant, as some campers have mentioned the need for a 4x4 vehicle on certain terrains.

We really enjoyed our stay at Ubuntu! Aisha is very friendly and happily showed us around. The view from the mountain top campsite was amazing to wake up to. Despite the weather being finicky, we still had a good time making s’mores and hammocking under the trees.

Aisha was a friendly host. She met me with a map. There were some gorgeous spots right on campsite. I had the most picturesque toilet ever, filled with beautiful original art to buy. It was a peaceful and relaxing spot

Aisha's land was gorgeous! The sites were beautiful and the area was quiet and private. The pond was serene, the hike up Carney Mountain was well marked and a great addition to the stay. Mountain View was private, had a beautiful view, and was large and flat and easy to access.
