Camping in the Winter!?

Many people who travel to the Adirondacks, or who travel in general don’t usually put the word camping and winter in the same sentence. Who would anyway, it gets cold, it snows, who would want to pitch a tent on the snow in a place like Old Forge, NY anyway!?  Well, truth be told, it goes beyond that for camping in general, but also camping in the winter!
At the Old Forge Camping Resort, we provide 4 types of accommodations – RV Sites, Tent Sites and Cabins and Cottages. For the most part, camping in the winter for us focuses more towards cabins and cottages – of course we do get the occasional tent-er and more often an RV-er , but think of it more as luxury camping, heated luxury camping. (We don’t call ourselves a Camping Resort for nothing!) Our cabins and cottages provide propane heat, electricity, a roof you don’t have to pitch over your head and beds with mattresses!  Cottages take it to the next level with more space, more beds, plus a bathroom with a toilet, sink and shower and a kitchenette with a stovetop, microwave, small fridge, table and chairs and even a kitchen sink!  All sites have a picnic table and a fire circle, more for summer camping, but there are the winter enthusiasts!

What’s even more neat about a campground in a cold climate that’s open year round is that not only can you actually camp in the winter by the night, but you can rent cabins, cottages and sites by the entire season. The Old Forge area has tons and tons of activities to take advantage of – snowmobiling the 500 miles of groomed trails, downhill skiing at McCauley Mountain, ice fishing, snow shoeing, cross country skiing. Who wouldn’t want to rent a warm and cozy place in the Adirondacks where you can go to anytime from November through mid April?  Plus the price includes many perks like having someone turn the heat up for you, or plow your driveway or turn on a light, so when you do arrive, it’s like your home away from home.
