Think camping in the Adirondacks is all about pitching a tent in the woods and trying to light a campfire? Think again. The Adirondacks offer a wide range of expeditions and experiences, including glamour camping, or "glamping." Guests can hire a licensed Adirondack Guide to cater to their every whim in the wilderness. Enjoy a massage by the lake, gourmet meals, and nightly entertainment.
Find family friendly camping no matter where you are in the Adirondacks. From the many attractions and recreation opportunities in the Lake George area, to a wilderness camping experience in the Adirondack Experience It! Region, find a campground perfect for your group.

RV camping is possible throughout the park, and many Adirondack communities offer electrical, water and sewer hookups. Spend a weekend or week enjoying easy access to attractions such as golf courses, water parks, and community festivals.
Step back in time and enjoy pristine backcountry camping. Take a float plane ride, and then head out into the Moose River Plains, where motorized vehicles are unheard of. Primitive camping is allowed on public lands through the Adirondack wilderness. The camping areas are designated with a yellow "camp here" disk. Sites must be at least 150 feet from any trail, roadway or body of water.
