Camp in the Pines

Really great camping experience, all the comforts of home in a beautiful setting!

the owner is amazing and attentive. So peaceful

Cory’s tent was a large canvas tent in a snowy wood just off 1-87. It had a nice wood stove and plenty of firewood to keep us toasty. We had a heater, fire for s’mores+sweet potatoes+hot dogs, and a stove top for breakfast all in one 😎 There were plenty of supplies/dishes to use if needed but we had most everything. Ample sleeping beds/cots. We mostly stayed around the fire - it was so nice. Plus, it was a cold night and got quite chilly away from the stove. Cory had thorough printed instructions in case needed and even a couple lanterns supplied with propane (as well as a stove if wood stove wasn’t enough). We appreciated the table for eating /cooking and the outhouse was very clean and nice. There is a bit of an icy walk slightly uphill from parking spot, so I would suggest spikes or a lighter load to make it easy (we had neither and were fine - but next time I would! For winter...)

Thanks Cory! Great communication and hospitality. Loved our stay :)

I had the BEST stay at Cory’s tent amongst the pines. I couldn’t have picked a better place to do some solo winter camping. The tent is easily accessible and is fully stocked with kitchen supplies, lanterns, and necessities. Between what I brought and what was already there, I was living quite luxuriously in the woods. The wood stove works beautifully. I stayed very warm in the tent (it was 80 degrees in there!) while the outside temps reached a low of -15 degrees. Beautiful location and excellent host. Cory made sure I had everything I needed. I already look forward to another stay here.

The place is great. The wood stove kept the tent warm at 30F overnight weather. Also had plenty of firewood for a 2 night weekend. Location is excellent also & the propane grill outside is a plus. Would stay again

Cory's Camp in the Pines is awesome! My daughter and I stayed here for a few nights and loved it. The tent is great - clean, dry, and large enough to walk around in freely. It's got distinct "areas" which made it really cozy - a woodstove area to sit by; a table to eat or play games at; a fully equipped kitchen area to cook at; and a sleeping area with two beds (full and twin). Everything we needed was there, from cooking gear to utensils to cut and stacked firewood. The stove kept the interior really warm even when the temps hit the low 30's outside. Outdoors had a nice firepit, some chairs, a hammock, and total privacy. The outhouse was crazy clean, and even had a little LED light for those night visits. As others mentioned, you could faintly hear the highway but it quickly fades into the background and you don't think about it. Cory was an awesome, attentive, and responsive host. Finally, we were at trailheads in the high peaks in 35 minutes. All in all, we couldn't have asked for anything more - we loved it and we'll be back!

Cory was very hospitable making sure we had everything we needed. There was plenty of wood for an outdoor and indoor fire. Perfect spot right off 87, but quiet with access to many great trails. The space was comfortable for two adults and a child but 1-2 more could comfortably fit too. We would stay again.

Super cool ginormous tent nestled in trees. Very comfy futon mattress. I slept like a baby! Cory and his wife stopped by to check on things and brought more potable water and a few other supplies. Generous, caring, kind hosts. It is situated just off route 87. You can hear the highway but it was like white noise at some point. Then in the middle of the night, totally silent. Cory has everything rigged up for comfort. Nice Coleman stove and lamps. Didn't need the wood stove but it was good to know it was there and dry wood ready to burn if necessary. Awesome little outhouse yards away from the tent. Schroon lake 3 miles down the road. Perfect location. All around fun place.

The camp is conveniently located off the northway and was a welcome respite of rustic solitude. Cory was a wonderful host and an excellent communicator. The wood stove provides plenty of warmth and hope to stay here again soon.
