It's never too early to start thinking about the camping season. Take the family to one of the biggest campgrounds in the Adirondacks this summer where you can swim in the largest heated pool in the Northeast.

There are several things that are staples in Central and Upstate New York - halfmoons, greens and tomato pie, hiking and camping the Adirondacks, cheering on the Orangemen, running the Boilermaker. Everyone rants and raves about it all; how great the food tastes or how fun the great outdoors is.
When I think of camping, I definitely do NOT envision a whole private island to myself, including a lean-to, a tree house, a log cabin, and a lodge for a total of 21 guests to sleep in luxurious comfort. But alas, that's exactly what this island is that is in Saranac Lake, New York.
When plans were announced for a 117-acre luxury camping resort, owner Jeff Taylor hoped to break ground a few weeks later. That was at the beginning of February.
Live out your '1883' fantasy in a covered wagon this summer. Travel back in time to when the Dutton family made their way across the Great Plains to the Yellowstone Ranch at a camping resort in New York.
