We stayed at camping spot on lakeside and it was perfect! I'm very surprised that we didn't get a lot of mosquitoes. Maybe it could be something do with lake itself. Who knows! The bathroom is clean but I'm very impressed how CLEAN in the shower site!!! I love their shower because it's clean and hot water!!!! They have the specific time to clean the shower which they closes from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM daily. I would say it is worth to wait because we get a clean shower stall that I can't complain!!! Thank you so much for keeping the bathroom and shower site clean much as you can!!! I would recommend anyone to go camping there and perfect place for children to play as well.

My husband Jim and I discovered Donaldson's Campground last year and loved it there so much that we…read morewill return every chance we get. I felt right at home because of all the wonderful people there. The owner is a fantastic, honest and very laid back kind of guy. He makes everyone feel welcome. His office girl Amanda is absolutely the best, so friendly and very helpful. We can't wait for camping season!

My husband's family has been camping at Donaldson's for YEARS, starting in the late 1940's I…read morebelieve. It's quite the gem of the Adirondacks. This is not your modern new-age campground. There isn't an activities center to send the kids off to...no arcade, no swimming pool. But there is a nicely provisioned store at the top end, and an ice cream stand. There's also a small beach. This is your campfires at night and watching for shooting stars kind of camping. A nice disconnect from most modern amenities. 4G for cell phones is hit or miss. There's plenty to do during the day within driving distance though, so no one will be bored for long.

Since we brought our dog, they even put a towel with doggie biscuits for the fur babies which was a nice touch. I know we had neighbors bcuz of the parked cars but it was so quiet that I didn't no we weren't alone. We used the fire pit 1 night, the bed was cofy, the shower had good pressure&hot water. Small, quaint, quiet, you won't here me complain at all.

What put this place over the top was the couple that run it. We got such great recommendations on hikes, we ended up doing the Tupper Lake Triad; food, Amado's was delish, and the Raquette River brewery. None of which we had planned on. We thought we would have to drive to Saranac Lake or Lake Placid to hike and eat and enjoy. Brian was a wealth of knowledge and quite proud of all that the Tupper Lake area could offer. We'll be back and we will tell our friends about it!

Taylor Pond Campground is down a dirt road on a beautiful pristine lake. It only has 25 campsites,…read more3 of which you can only reach by boat. Some of the sites are on the water but very open. Site 8 sits back in the woods away from everything with only a walk to the water. This is primitive camping at its finest. There's water, some incredibly clean pit toilets, and canoe rentals but that's about it. The campground is surrounded by 8,000 acres of state land and there's no development on the pond. There's a trail that goes around the lake but really if you come here it's all for the paddling.

Bathrooms were decent ( better than NYSDEC camp grounds). Our main reason for our stay here was proximity to the high peak trailheads at ADK Loj. I would not stay here again at a field site, but maybe the wooded sites are better. Check in staff was friendly. $5 firewood, $2 bags of ice were a definite plus.

I was lucky to learn about these cabins from a local realtor. We stayed in late September while…read morevisiting our son at college. The location, on Lake Colby, is convenient to all things Adirondack as it's close to Paul Smith's College- Tupper Lake-Saranac Lake downtown Village-Whiteface-Lake Placid- and the High Peak trails. Did I mention it is lakefront with kayaks and canoes to play with? The lake has a certain outboard motor restriction of 10 mph engines. Kelly and John own the 4 cabins. 3 are lakefront. Attention has been made to the smallest details like garden plantings, cottage themes, a boat house of gear, welcome bottle of goodies, small basket on the kitchen island with small necessities like flashlights, sewing kit, toothbrush, bug spray, pads and pens and more. If you are not familiar with the Adirondacks and/or want the "ADK experience", ( an attractive cozy intimate brown one story cabin on a pristine clean quiet lake with a great view with an attentive owner) look no farther than The Cabins at Lake Colby. The location is not way out in the middle of the woods. You are close to a main road and near the local hospital---- but when you step inside you are transported elsewhere! "Moose" Cottage was top drawer! Quality furnishings! Comfy mattress and sheets! The largest Moose head I have ever seen! Decorated beautifully! I can't give it all away! The flow of the cabin works. The kitchen is large enough for two to be prepping at the granite counters and stainless propane gourmet cooktop while others easily pass by. Room enough to cook together. The propane fire really can heat the place and adds ambiance. Outside there is a fire ring and split wood. We used the grill. Adirondack chairs line up like soldiers on the waters edge. Everything you require to cook was there! We forgot mustard and Kelly came over with two types. She enjoys meeting her visitors! These cabins are ideal for the couple who wants to get away. Two cabins have two bedrooms, two are one bedroom with a living area. One sports two bathrooms. Ours had a jet tub! Our cabin sported 2 queens and a sofabed. I do not think it's appropriate set up for really young kids necessarily. Check out my photos which capture the essence of the Cabins at Lake Colby
