About this property

Reconnect with nature at this unforgettable escape on the Schroon River in the Adirondacks at Frontier Town Gateway in North Hudson which was one of the oldest theme parks in America where Johnny Cash and June Carter performed. The park was designed after the Wild West with steam train, railway bandits, bucking broncos, trick riders, and much more. The property has the largest A frame in North America which was recently renovated into a restaurant, cafe, event venue, and outpost/general store. It also features a sandy beach and island all to yourselves in close proximity to several hikes, white water rafting, restaurants and breweries such as Paradox which is in walking/biking distance, midway between Lake George and Lake Placid, short drive to Ausable Chasm (Grand Canyon of the Adirondacks), Adirondack Extreme (Zip Lines / Aerial Park) and much more.

well, we thought it was going to be glamping. It was worse than camping. It stunk it was dirty. The sheets were never changed. There was dirty dishes. The yard wasn’t mowed. It was just terrible. I would never do this again or recommend anyone to do it.

Didn’t Couldn’t stay

The site was uninhabitable! The mosquito's were so bad they were bouncing off your face!! Couldn’t go outside to cook or anything. It was that bad!!! We stayed that night , held up in the tent. We had to leave for our health! The host apologized and promised a full refund. The host is no longer answering my calls and no refund was given. What a shame!!

Not as advertised

Access to the Schroon River was nice to cool off in, but overall the rental was not worth the money we paid. When we first arrived, there was garbage left over from previous guest. There were missing pans, so we had to borrow a pan from the general store. This property listing was very inaccurate. It says there is heat, wi-fi, a dryer, air conditioning, and 2 bathrooms on the property, but in reality they are talking about the public restrooms at the general store 0.4 miles down the road which closes at 9pm. Only 1 out of the 3 lanterns were charged, so we had to get around the property by our cellphone flash lights for the majority of the time. The tent is right by the I-87 Thruway, which made it difficult to sleep at night with the traffic noise. If this property was listed as bear bones tent camping without any amenities and we were charged 1/2 the rental price, I wouldn’t have cared but I feel taken advantage of after my stay.
