Private campsites & glamping in Johnsburg, NY
Johnsburg is Gore Mountain country — a spread-out Warren County town where the ski area's slopes define winter and the Hudson's whitewater defines summer. North Creek, the town's hamlet, is the Adirondacks' adventure base: the Saratoga & North Creek Railway's dome cars, the whitewater put-ins, and Garnet Hill's cross-country trails all start here. It's the park's working-adventure town, forty minutes from Lake George and a world from its crowds.
Glamping here leans farm-and-forest: a hobby farm on Cemetery Road with canvas tents and cabins, animals, and dark-sky campfires, minutes from the Hudson's rafting launches and Gore's summer scenic rides. Four hours from Manhattan, and the Adirondack stay for people who'd rather be moving than lounging.

Camping in Johnsburg: FAQs
How far is Johnsburg from New York City?
About 220 miles, roughly 4 hours via the Northway. North Creek is the hamlet to navigate to.
What is Gore Mountain?
The state's biggest ski area by acreage — 110 trails, serious vertical, and none of the Lake Placid prices. Summer brings scenic gondola rides and downhill mountain biking.
What's the whitewater like?
The Hudson Gorge run from North Creek is the Adirondacks' classic — spring high water for experts, summer releases for everyone, with outfitters running guided trips.
Is Johnsburg good in summer?
Excellent — rafting, the railway, hiking into the Siamese Ponds Wilderness, and swimming holes along the Hudson.
What's Garnet Hill?
A former garnet mine turned cross-country ski center with 55km of trails — the winter counterpart to Gore's downhill, ten minutes from North Creek.
Where do I eat?
North Creek's main street covers it — the kind of Adirondack town where the diner, the pub, and the outfitter share a block.
