Adirondack glamping options near Malone include Lake Placid/Whiteface Mountain KOA Holiday, which offers fully furnished canvas tents with raised wooden floors, comfortable beds with real linens, and electrical outlets. Riverside Campground provides similar upscale tent accommodations with private decks overlooking the water. One visitor noted, "Some of the nicest people we have met yet. Helpful and accommodating. Lots of improvements over the last year they said, and it is really nice and clean!" Both locations feature climate-controlled units that blend outdoor immersion with modern comforts. Adirondack Adventure Base offers five unique glamping yurts with rustic yet comfortable furnishings, picnic tables, and fire rings, providing an elevated camping experience without sacrificing comfort or convenience.
Robert Moses State Park Campground houses riverside glamping cabins with stunning water views and AuSable Chasm Campground provides elevated canvas accommodations in a dramatic natural setting. According to a camper, "The cabin is cozy and on the water! You'll love it!" Most glamping sites maintain proximity to natural attractions including lakes, rivers, and hiking trails while offering premium amenities not found in traditional camping. The region experiences peak glamping season from May through October, with some locations requiring reservations months in advance during summer weekends. Winter glamping opportunities remain limited, though Lake Placid/Whiteface Mountain KOA operates year-round with heated units ideal for cold-weather getaways. Visitors appreciate the balance between wilderness immersion and comfort these specialized accommodations provide.
"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."

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.
RangerLovely 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.
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!
TravelerI'm from this part of Upstate New York State, and we came up for a weekend to go to a baby shower and decided to camp out at Cumberland Head! Lots of shadey spots, very nice camping spots on Lake Champlain and the morning sunrise is beautiful!! Do yourself a favor, and visit Cumberland Head State Park!!!
GuideThis 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!
Glamping in the Adirondack region near Malone, New York offers elevated camping experiences within a mountainous landscape at elevations ranging from 1,000 to over 4,000 feet. Most glamping sites in this area operate from May through October with temperatures ranging from 40°F at night to 80°F during summer days. Winter temperatures typically drop below freezing, limiting off-season glamping options except for heated accommodations.
Lake activities at Meacham Lake: The campground divides into two distinct areas with different experiences. According to Colin J., "It's split into 2 sides. The west side is way cooler, less bugs and more views. The east side is RV/camper heaven." West side campsites offer platform tent sites directly on the water.
Water recreation at Buck Pond Campground: This location provides opportunities for canoeing and kayaking with rentals available on-site. Nancy P. notes it's a "Very peaceful place to go canoeing." The campground includes a beach area for swimming during summer months.
Hiking near Draper's Acres: Located centrally in the Adirondack High Peaks region, this campground provides access to numerous trailheads. Karolina mentions, "Good location for major trailheads and near by lake placid keene. Tent sites are not very big. Although we comfortably fit with one vehicle."
Secluded waterfront sites: Rollins Pond offers lakeside camping with significant privacy. Amie C. describes, "We had a waterfront site and we're absolutely delighted to be able to sit on the beach and watch the sunset, kayak at our leisure, and swim. Water spigots in very close proximity and all bathrooms clean and accessible."
Natural swimming areas: Many glamping locations feature swimming opportunities directly from campsites. At Meacham Lake Campground, Michael G. appreciated that "If you do score a lakeside site, your views will be spectacular!" The campground offers swimming areas with tent platforms to keep gear dry.
Family-friendly amenities: Several glamping sites include additional entertainment options beyond natural features. At Lake Placid/Whiteface Mountain KOA Holiday, Nicole S. reports, "The campground on the mountain side has a playground, huge store, gem mining, arcade (which needs some love), hiking trails and a common area with some games."
Seasonal considerations: Most glamping accommodations close during winter months. Buck Pond operates from "May 19 to September 4" while Meacham Lake has a slightly extended season from "May 19 to October 9," requiring advance planning during peak periods.
Site selection matters: At Riverside Campground, Steven F. noted, "Some of the nicest people we have met yet. Helpful and accommodating. Lots of improvements over the last year they said, and it is really nice and clean! New bathrooms and laundry center."
Limited connectivity: Cell service varies significantly throughout the region. At Meacham Lake, Debbie T. warns, "There is no cell or internet there," making it important to download maps and information before arrival if staying at remote glamping sites.
Beach access: Several campgrounds offer beaches suitable for children. At Cumberland Bay State Park Campground, Sheri C. shared, "This is a great place for the family. The playground is great. New bath house. Some sites with electric. Even with a windy, cold, rainy day it is still beautiful."
Kid-friendly activities: Choose glamping sites with recreational options for children. According to larry at AuSable Chasm Campground, the site features a "pool was clean, play ground kids loved it. And facilities were clean, with hot showers." Many sites offer organized activities during summer weekends.
Ice cream options: Several campgrounds feature ice cream availability, a popular option with children. Trina W. from Buck Pond Campground mentioned, "There was an ice cream place not far away, with a long line, and it was the best ice cream we had all summer!"
Hook-up availability: Many glamping locations offer partial or full hook-ups for RVs. At AuSable Chasm Campground, YM C. reported, "Good sized site with electric and water. Shady but also had sun to dry our shoes from the raft tour."
Road conditions: Access roads to glamping sites vary in quality. Brett N. at Draper's Acres noted, "My site was large enough for two double tents, a hammock, and if needed, two cars. The nearby bathroom and shower we're basic, but certainly adequate."
Shower facilities: While glamping often includes enhanced amenities, bathroom and shower quality differs between sites. At Rollins Pond Campground, Amie C. appreciated "Free HOT showers, and all of the neighbors are so quiet it was like being alone when sitting by the fire."
