The Adirondack region's glamping accommodations at Lake Placid/Whiteface Mountain KOA Holiday and Wilderness Campground at Heart Lake balance rustic charm with comfort. Both sites offer luxury canvas tents and modernized cabins featuring comfortable beds, electricity, and essential amenities while maintaining proximity to natural attractions. The Heart Lake location provides private bathrooms for glampers, while the KOA Holiday site includes access to clean shower facilities and community gathering spaces. Sites are nestled among tall trees providing natural shade and privacy, with fire pits and picnic tables for outdoor enjoyment. According to a camper, "We stayed in one of the canvas 'tents' and it was amazing - felt like a hotel room in the middle of the forest with all the comforts of home."
Visitors at these glamping resorts enjoy direct access to nearby hiking trails, including paths to Whiteface Mountain and various High Peaks trailheads within walking distance. The KOA property sits near the entrance to Whiteface Memorial Highway, allowing for easy day trips to scenic viewpoints. On-site amenities include Ausable River access for fishing, guided nature walks, and evening campfire programs during peak season. The Heart Lake location offers year-round availability, while the KOA operates from May through October. One visitor noted, "The location is perfect - we biked to local restaurants and the Adirondack Wildlife Refuge right from our glamping site." Resort-style amenities include wine and beer shops, laundry facilities, and camp stores stocked with necessities and local souvenirs.
"I have done tent, cabin and t.v. camping here. a lot of family activity in my favorite place. the outdoor choices are plenty, but the campground is slipping trying to be too much and seems to let the infrastructure"
"Very large and busy campground, close to Lake Placid and other cool activities to take in. Pros- hot showers, convenient laundromat, you are guided to your site by staff on golf carts."
"We didn't see any sites with electricity and there is one outlet in the bathroom area (I plugged my coffee percolator into this outlet every morning). "
"It’s perfectly secluded, but still not far from Lake Placid. You do have to travel a little ways (6-10 miles) for a grocery store, but the view is worth it. I highly recommend this beautiful place."
from $20 - $40 / night
Check Availability"As it isn't too far of a drive for us, it quickly became our go-to campgrounds for quite a while due to the mostly flat campground and who doesn't love hearing the slow trickle of water splashing close"

Check Availability"Great campground with secluded sites most with woods behind each site, especially the tent area. The RV and tent camping is well separated and there are different kinds of RV space available as well."

Check Availability"There’s no explaining the views around here. The mountains are beautiful, Lake Placid is beautiful, and this campsite is amazing."

from $25 - $55 / night
Check Availability"One side of the lake is a bit crowded and can get rowdy. This side has flush toilets and showers. There are waterfront sites here."

Check Availability"Upon arrival, the front desk clerk was very nice and helpful. We found our way to the tent sites, nestled in the very back corner which for us was exactly what we like."

ScoutI have done tent, cabin and t.v. camping here. a lot of family activity in my favorite place. the outdoor choices are plenty, but the campground is slipping trying to be too much and seems to let the infrastructure slip. it is owned by corporate KOA and it shows that the making money is more important than making it a home away from home that I use to love.. still will come back
GuideSpent 3 days, 2 nights here from a Wednesday-Friday. Very large and busy campground, close to Lake Placid and other cool activities to take in. Pros- hot showers, convenient laundromat, you are guided to your site by staff on golf carts. Cons- tent sites aren’t given much privacy, on the days we stayed we were put very close to the main building when we requested a spot near the back away from the busy area, kids allowed to run and yelling and screaming WELL after quiet hours.
GuideWhat a great little park! apparently this is the first state park in Vermont. Only 8 campsites so try to book early. Nice trails that lead to scenic views of Lake Champlain. Bathrooms and showers were clean. Showers were quarter operated, 50 cents for 5 minutes. Firewood sold on site. Sites are well groomed and have a fire pit and picnic table.
TravelerExcellent location due to proximity to north beach that offers beautiful views of the Adirondacks across Lake Champlain. The campground is adjacent to paved Burlington bike / walking trail with easy access to the trail and beach. The only sites with electric are RV sites that are packed in more than we prefer. Bath rooms are ok, but showers need deep cleaning or replacement. Bath house is vented but not heated so it’s rather cold in October. Hot water is just warm.
GuideWe stayed in the rustic campground right down the road from the main campground. We parked in a lot and walked about 5 minutes to the campgrounds on the lake. They were beautiful and well kept, even had a small pile of fire wood for us.
The site had a relatively nice outhouse, a picnic table, a fire pit and a grate for grilling. It was right on the lake. There were a ton of other people in the main campground but only one other camper in the rustic area. $25 a night to camp.
There was some noise from the highway but not too bad. Coyotes were howling all night and definitely heard some around our campground.
GuideThis is a Class A 5⭐️KOA Campsite! We arrived late and Jox & his sweet wife helped us manuever our RV into our pull through site B05. We were super close to the office, store, snacks, laundry & activities. Our site was a “ dirt” site that had a picnic table and fire pit with full hook ups. This campsite has concierge service that will help you out with any of your wants/needs. Great site in nature’s finest.
GuideGreat campground with secluded sites most with woods behind each site, especially the tent area. The RV and tent camping is well separated and there are different kinds of RV space available as well. The showers are a bit gross, but free. The cabins look nice but a little close together. They don’t pick up the phone right away so call a few times to get ahold of someone. We had water/electric for a trailer at $35 a night in perfect location between Keene Valley and Lake Placid. Sites were clean and the fire pits were beautiful! We camped in site 45 and were pleasantly left alone.
TravelerJust stayed at Drapers Acres for the Iron Man in Lake Placid. We stayed in a cabin and daughter and her husband stayed in their rig in an RV site. They clearly state that they are not a camping resort, but a base camp for the area adventures. Rest rooms were clean and had plenty of hot water. Staff was friendly and welcoming! Great playground for the kids to play on and plenty of privacy. Cabin was basic - had fan, heat, mini-fridge and microwave. If visiting the area again, I would not hesitate to stay there again! The RV site was large with plenty of space for their 40 foot rig and jeep. Use AT&T towers and had the ability to use phone as a hotspot.
GuideThe Cumberland Bay State Park in New York is a great place to go and relax. If you like the beach scene, swimming, or having a picnic, then you will enjoy this park. I come here quite often to kayak, and my friends and I also like to get a game of volleyball going on the court they have within the park. During the summer months (and especially on hot days), you will find that this park is pretty busy. You can always find a little spot to put your stuff, though. Kayaking is probably one of my favorite things to do, and the lake is perfect for this. The park itself is located on Lake Champlain. You also have the option to camp overnight if you wish...I have only done this once because I wanted to get up and kayak for the sunrise! The park does provide picnic tables, restrooms and showers. I find that the restrooms and showers and pretty clean....there have been a few times that the stall I am using doesn't have toilet paper. So I would suggest checking your stall first before you sit down on the toilet :). One of my favorite parts about this park, is in the distance you can see the beautiful mountains, Adirondacks and other gorgeous views. There are also some good hiking trails nearby that you can get to by car. I would say there are trails within 5-10 miles away. All in all, a great place to come and relax!
The Adirondack region near Bloomingdale sits at elevations ranging from 1,500 to 4,000 feet, creating distinct microclimates throughout the area. Summer temperatures typically range from 45°F nights to 80°F days, with humidity levels lower than surrounding lowland areas. Winter camping options remain available at several locations, with snowfall averaging 100+ inches annually in higher elevations.
Paddle through connected lakes: At Rollins Pond Campground, visitors gain access to multiple waterways. "Great kayak and canoe access to a whole network of lakes in the St. Regis/Saranac area," notes Jeffrey B. The campground offers rentals during peak season for those without equipment.
Hike from your campsite: Wilderness Campground at Heart Lake provides direct trail access. "Behind the 100-Acre section are trails that lead to Whiteface Mountain so you don't have to get in the car to start a hike," explains Nancy W. Multiple High Peaks trailheads originate at or near the property.
Find swimming holes: Local water features beyond the main beaches offer refreshing alternatives. "Walk to the back of the campground to the Ausable river, go down the path about 500 ft. There is an awesome swimming hole," reveals Laura T. about Lake Placid/Whiteface Mountain KOA Holiday.
Explore Burlington: For a day trip, the Lake Champlain ferry connects to Vermont. "Burlington is my favorite city by far... Biking into Burlington takes 5-10 minutes and you're also right on the beach of Lake Champlain," shares Brittany R. about North Beach Campground.
Waterfront yurt options: Yurt camping near Bloomingdale offers lake access at several properties. "Almost all the sites are lakefront. Great kayak and canoe access to a whole network of lakes in the St. Regis/Saranac area," notes Jeffrey B. about Rollins Pond Campground.
Seasonal wildlife viewing: Local animal sightings enhance the camping experience. "We always have wildlife at our site. This past trip we had chipmunks, squirrels, ducks, and a crane. The time before, we had a family of loons!" shares Kristina L.
Separate camping environments: Many properties offer distinct camping zones. "The west side is way cooler, less bugs and more views. The east side is RV/camper heaven," explains Colin J. about Meacham Lake Campground. This separation creates different experiences within one property.
Tent platform sites: At certain locations, elevated platforms keep gear dry. "The West side of the campground is reserved for primitive tent campers with a few choice sites right on the water. These sites generally have tent platforms which is a good thing," notes Kristin G. about Meacham Lake.
Seasonal facility changes: Amenities vary throughout the year. "The boathouse doesn't open until June/July, which was not mentioned on the website, so we weren't able to rent kayaks," warns Francesca L. about Rollins Pond. Check operating schedules before planning water activities.
Hike-in requirements: Some premium sites require carrying gear. "The sites are sandy and our site was mostly flat. Some sites do have an uphill driveway lined with trees," explains Danielle S. about Buck Pond Campground. Consider equipment weight when selecting sites.
Road conditions: Access roads to remote sites may present challenges. "Road going in is very rough, use extreme caution on a motorcycle with street tires," advises Max about Wilderness Campground at Heart Lake. Vehicles with low clearance may struggle on certain approaches.
Weather variability: Early season camping brings unpredictable conditions. "I would caution going prior to June unless you are prepared for varying weather. I have been up there pitching the tent in a t-shirt one day only to need to throw on a jacket the next day due to rain and even snow," reports Alex G.
Ice cream options: Local treats provide memorable experiences. "There was an ice cream place not far away, with a long line, and it was the best ice cream we had all summer!" raves Trina W. about Buck Pond Campground.
Bathroom logistics: Facility layout affects family comfort. "The bathroom area has one sink with no shelving so carrying your necessities in a shower caddy especially when you have kids that need to brush their teeth," advises Danielle S.
Evening entertainment: Communal activities enhance family experiences. "Ice cream truck every night. Ice and firewood available. Close store for goods," notes surfycampers about Rollins Pond. Some campgrounds feature regularly scheduled programs.
Pool alternatives: When lake swimming isn't ideal, look for swimming pools. "There is a pool for swimming, paved roads are good for bikes & scooters, pavilion for activities, lake for swimming & fishing and hiking trails," shares Lacy C. about Button Bay State Park.
Site selection for large vehicles: Finding appropriate RV sites requires research. "We stayed in a full hook-up site that was plenty long enough for our 45' RV and tow car," reports Nancy W. about Lake Placid/Whiteface Mountain KOA Holiday, noting that "there are two distinct sections of this campground—the 'Resort' section and the '100-Acre Woods' section."
Dump station locations: "No hookups, so a bit trickier for RVs, but being right on the water makes it worth it," explains Erin about Rollins Pond Campground. Most state parks provide dumping facilities but may not offer full hookups.
Levelness considerations: Some sites present challenges for larger vehicles. "RV site 8 is so out of level that we couldn't get our Airstream level unless we put 10" of blocking under both axles," shares Brian P. about AuSable Chasm Campground.
Road clearance issues: Access roads to wilderness camping and yurt sites near Bloomingdale can be rough. "The road through the campground is dirt and rutted but the speed limit is 5 mph, so it wasn't that bad, but it would be a mess if it was raining," notes Lee D.
