“Ubuntu” Def: An ancient African word meaning “Humanity to others”. It is a reminder of “I am what I am because of who we all are.” We do our best to bring the spirit of Ubuntu to our lives and property that we have been graced with. We hope your visit to Ubuntu will be peaceful and rejuvenating. Ubuntu was the PERFECT place to observe the Northern Lights on Friday and Saturday (May 10-11). Campers at Ubuntu found the perfect spot to observe the April 8th TOTAL solar eclipse. There are no lights, no neighbors in sight, and they had the freedom to choose their campsite or observation point, whether it was on the flat, nestled in the trees, or on top of Carney Mountain. RV’s also easily found a spot to camp. New friends were made as everyone observed the eclipse. It was totally awe inspiring in so many ways!! The open areas and the top of Carney Mountain, which is a short hike with panoramic views of the area, were perfect spots to experience the solar eclipse, Northern Lights, sunrises and sunsets. The 115 acres of Ubuntu offer many opportunities for camping, hiking and enjoying the abundant wildlife. There is a wet area that sometimes becomes several ponds if the beavers have been at work. There is a path leading to the ponds and also one that runs through the woods to the right of the ponds. The location is private and quiet but still very accessible (only 10 minutes from Exit 34 off the Northway) to all the Adirondacks has to offer, such as biking, jogging, kayaking, canoeing, fishing, and hiking. Ubuntu is located only 45 minutes from Lake Placid and the high peaks areas, Saranac Lake is about one hour away, Lake Champlain is 20 minutes away, and Montreal is one hour away. The ferry to Vermont if you wish to cross over the pond (Lake Champlain) is about 45 minutes away. And Exit 34 off the Northway is only 10 minutes from Ubuntu. And if you love equestrian sports, the Willow Hill Equestrian Center is less than 1.5 miles away. Bring your horse and stable your buddy at the Willow Hill Farm, or sign up for a lesson with one of their accomplished instructors. Your furry pets are welcome, but we ask that you keep them on a leash if they tend to chase game or do not have a reliable recall. Please use good judgment. There are many deer on the property, so yes we do have ticks. Please take the necessary precautions. Generators are allowed but in keeping with the peace and tranquility of Ubuntu, please run them only between the hours of 12:00 - 2 PM, especially if other campers are present.. If there are no other campers then use at your own discretion. We hope that your visit to Ubuntu will be a great experience that you will enjoy and treasure! In Peace, Aisha and Moussa

Perfect fall boondocking experience
The photos don’t do justice to this place. It was a little slice of heaven being surrounded by the mountains, with hiking paths and ponds. There’s total silence and darkness giving us a good nights sleep. You wake up seeing the fog covering the trees and mountains then start clearing up to a beautiful sunrise and clear skies. We went at a time when leaves are about 30-40% changing and Ubuntu is definitely a good spot to experience this. They have a neighboring equestrian barn and we met beautiful horses with their friendly owners walking the paths. Aisha was very accommodating and good at communicating and providing instructions. Definitely recommending this place and hope to be able to come back in the future.

Loved!!!!
I had reached out to 2 Hipcamp sites in attempt to book for this past weekend and decided on Aisha’s property simply because her responses were so welcoming, helpful and kind right from the get go! She met us as soon as we arrived, even though it was after dark and showed us a handful of the wooded sites so we could choose one that would suite us the best! We had a beautiful time, in a beautiful place and we’re so grateful that Aisha has opened up her stunning property to us! The compost outhouse was very clean and stocked with all of the necessities and the property was easy to navigate - we will definitely be booking with her again!!

Quiet, dark skies, read a book!
Quiet, wilderness, not a camper town fortunately. Very good value for the money. Had a 22 campers at the mountain view site - need good 4x4 to pull it up the slope.

Super awesome campsite if you can get the overlook tent site you won’t regret it. 10/10 and there’s a short uphill hike to an AMAZING overlook definitely recommend for the morning hike for sunrise.
