“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

Ubuntu, hosted by Aisha, is a peaceful and picturesque campsite that offers visitors stunning mountain views and a serene environment. Guests appreciate Aisha's welcoming nature and her helpfulness in getting them settled, with many noting the well-maintained facilities, including a charming and clean outhouse. The site is perfect for stargazing due to low light pollution, and the surrounding trails offer great opportunities for hiking. While most visitors rave about their experience, finding the perfect flat space for a tent can be a challenge, especially at the Big View site.

The property of Aisha’s was sooo beautiful, and she was so nice!! We were running a little late to the campsite and she waited there until we got there!! She has lots of wildlife like beavers and we stayed at the top of the hill and it was so peaceful. Highly recommend!!

We really enjoyed camping at Ubuntu! Aisha met me upon arrival and told me everything I needed to know about the space and some nearby things to check out. My friend and I camped at the Mountain View spot and loved it. The views are great, the outhouse is cute and well maintained, and the short trek to Mt. Carney (which is on site) had some great views from the top! I would definitely recommend and would stay again!

Great location and awesome views. We got everything we included in the trip. If you're interested we did a journal in the book of everything done throughout our trip. It was a wonderful stay.

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.
