Perfectly peaceful

Amazing campsite and location, and fantastic/perfect host! The host was above and beyond gracious and communicative, extremely helpful, super detailed and top-notch. We loved the campsite so much we’re planning to come back and book it for several days next year, possibly book both campsites and bring friends with us. Our children really enjoyed the experience, there’s even a rock wall by the campsite that you can use for pretend rock climbing/scrambling for kids with a cool little trail that is kid friendly as long as you have adult supervision. Stephanie let us know that there’s little to no reception, I had zero reception with AT&T and my iPhone in the small town of Jay, New York the whole time. Despite that, we loved the town, couldn’t believe how quiet and peaceful it was at the campsite, even though it was relatively close to Jay but still rural. Such a peaceful location. Amazing views of Jay Mountain range from the campsite, really loved hiking Jay mountain with our kids and dogs. There were a lot of ticks on our dogs, but we were walking them through the grass, and we have the same problem where we live in central New York. It’s normal and just be wary of that when you are in New York. Peak leaf color change happened when we were camping, and the trees around the campsite were gorgeous! We would definitely book with Stephanie again, and of all the places that I researched this place was serene and perfect, and no ponds or mud for kids to drown or get muddy in.

Great spot for a tent or RV. We pulled the Jeep right in and camped in a Tent. I would stay here again. There is a little noise from the road but it's not bad at all.

Great spot, easy to find and get too. Would stay there again. Both sites are within sight of eachother though.

Fall Camping

Great location! The sites are a decent distance off the road, but still easy to get to and very private. We saw deer and turkeys during the day. The stars were bright and the owls let us know they were around at night. There are two large pads to choose from for camping, both with fire rings. Plenty of firewood around so that you don’t need to buy any. I loved the access to the high peaks and Keene Valley for hiking. Also a great restaurant in Upper Jay, right down the road. If you stay here, make sure to check out the Ice Jam Inn for dinner.

Nice spot by the Ausable

Great off the grid yet close enough to the road spot. Close to many hikes and good spots in ADK.

This site was beautiful and located close to Keene and Wilmington for fun day trips!
