Best Glamping near Loon Lake, NY

Adirondack Adventure Base houses five distinctive glamping sites including yurts nestled in the woods of New York's northern reaches, about 44 miles from Loon Lake. This secluded property provides picnic tables, toilets, and dedicated fire rings with firewood available for purchase. "It is without a doubt the best campsite I have ever been to. It's perfectly secluded, but still not far from Lake Placid," one visitor noted about glamping in this region. The Wilderness Campground at Heart Lake also offers upscale glamping accommodations with year-round availability, featuring cabin-style options with more creature comforts than traditional camping. These sites maintain the natural Adirondack setting while providing amenities like proper beds, dedicated cooking areas, and access to modern bathroom facilities with hot showers.

Hiking trails directly accessible from both glamping properties connect guests to the spectacular Adirondack wilderness, with options for all skill levels. The Lake Placid/Whiteface Mountain area provides numerous water recreation opportunities including canoeing on serene lakes and guided fishing excursions. According to a camper, "The sites are so roomy with gorgeous trees offering lots of shade and fall foliage." Winter visitors can access nearby skiing at Whiteface Mountain, while summer brings opportunities for mountain biking and horseback riding. Local dining options range from camp cooking to upscale restaurants in Lake Placid, approximately 20 minutes from most glamping locations. Most properties require reservations, with peak season running May through October, though some offer limited winter accommodations with additional heating options.

    Lake Placid/Whiteface Mountain KOA Holiday

    was great, slipping some.

    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 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

    Lake Placid/Whiteface Mountain KOA Holiday

    Great Campground, Full Amenities

    Spent 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.

    Mount Philo State Park Campground

    Great little park

    What 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.

    North Beach Campground

    Nice location

    Excellent 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.

    Robert Moses State Park Campground

    Robert Moses in 1,000 Islands near Canada

    Lovely State Park in the 1,000 Islands where water activities are the main attraction. Make sure to check out the island too! The park spans the island and a little snaking river-like bay. Really pretty to explore on boat. Easy and very pretty trails on site, walk along the shore too. Decent wildlife and great birding. Feels very isolated though easy to get to. Bring your passport, you can see Canada from some of the picnic grounds. Incredible sunsets!!!

    Quality State Park facilities, clean. Camping ranges from tents in shady woods to cabins. Some sites are pretty private, even the ones that aren't are quiet.

    Note: Robert Moses apparently did a lot in New York State. This park is near Canada! There is also a Robert Moses beach on Long Island near NYC (Fire Island National Seashore) and Robert Moses parkway near Niagara Falls. These are all 8+ hours from each other! Be careful with your mapping apps and in getting advice for travel.

    Lake Placid/Whiteface Mountain KOA Holiday

    Amazing

    This 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.

    Draper’s Acres

    Campground with options

    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. 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.

    Campbells Bay Campground

    Nice campground on the water

    We stayed in Site # 3 A. It had a view of the water yet it's a distance away. We had water and electric and a small dump station. There was a tree in our site which gave us a little shade yet no privacy in-between the sites. There is a boat launch, gas for boats and docks to keep a boat. They rent boats there too. You can sit along the water in front of the office.store and chill. It's a nice view and peaceful.

    Kiley and Ian the owners are really nice and helpful. They have a small store onsite. They sell beer and wine too. There is a game room and a playground and horseshoe pits and a laundry room.  There are a lot of full timers living there. 

    I love the little farm stands outside of peoples homes along the roads with fresh produce, lettuce and eggs.

    We drove out to the point and sat and enjoyed the water view with a margarita. You can fish off the point some people were swimming there too. 

    The campground is close to the upper NY border on lake champlain.

    We went to Cody's cafe for breakfast one day it was good. We needed a real grocery store so ventured to find one. Hanafords isn't that far from there. There is a bakery the other direction yet wasn't fond of the sandwiches. They did see pies there at the bakery. 

    We went to Vesco Ridge Vineyards and had a tasting. They had some cute items for sale there too. We sat outside on a deck looking at the vineyard. They had some events coming up that weekend I would have liked to have made it back for the massage and wine event. They are also a Harvest Host location. 

    We drove to Grand Isles and stopped at a Snow Farm Winery. We did a tasting and enjoyed a nice view. There are lots of bicyclist that venture this route and they stop to enjoy a cold beer or wine.

    Lake Placid/Whiteface Mountain KOA Holiday

    Amazing Sites and Customer Service

    This is an amazing campground!

    The North Pole Resort is a top tiered campground that knows exactly how a campground should be operated, from customer service to site arrangement and up keep! We had the privilege of staying in the 100 Acres section of the campground for a few nights in July and loved everything about our stay. The campground consists of two sections; the Resort section and the 100 Acre woods section (just 50 yards down the road). The resort section is located near the office and is a nice, more open, but spacious RV camping area. The 100-acre section is a wooded campground beautifully arranged and maintained.

    We stayed in the 100 Acres area and were very impressed with the layout of the sites, which were staggered/angled to put the most space between each site. We felt very secluded even though there were other sites around us. Our site was level, spotlessly clean and manicured, and had good water pressure and hookups. The combination restrooms/bathrooms were clean and conveyed a sense of regular maintenance being provided to them.

    Customer service is top notch and the staff prides themselves on welcoming guests as family. We overheard a current employee talking to a new employee stating that even if the campsite wasn’t used prior to a new guest arriving, they always do a thorough check of the site to ensure everything is perfect! This impressed us and aligned with the overall sense of pride shown at NP campground.  The camp store is probably one of the best stocked stores we have visited. Additionally, they had growler fills from 3 craft beers of tap right in the camp store!!

    We loved our stay at North Pole Resorts, which raised the bar pretty high for other campgrounds to live up to!
