The Adirondack Mountain Club’s Wilderness Campground offers a variety of primitive camping opportunities. The seasonal washhouse is available during the spring, summer, and fall; this facility has men and women’s washrooms with showers, toilets, and sinks. During the winter months guests are able to use the facilities in the High Peaks Information Center. All food must be stored inside a vehicle to avoid attracting wildlife.

Protect Our Forests from Insect Invaders: Transporting untreated firewood spreads diseases from insect invaders that kill trees. State regulation prohibits the import of firewood into New York unless it has been kiln dried. The regulation also limits the transportation of untreated firewood to less than 50 miles from its source. Local firewood is available for sale at ADK’s Wilderness Campground.

*The Wilderness Campground can no longer accommodate small pop-up campers and tent trailers due to New York State Health Department regulations.

**The Heart Lake Property is undergoing renovations during the summer and fall 2017.  Please excuse our appearance as we work to improve our property and accommodations.  Construction will be focused in the northeast area of the campground (near the High Peaks Information Center and Hiker’s Parking Lot) where we will be building our new washhouse to better serve our campground guests.  We will do our best to limit disturbances but anticipate some construction noise during the day.
