Rustic campsite in beautiful corner of upstate New York

My friends and I had a wonderful three-day weekend at Rich's place. He lives on a sprawling 25-acre property near the town of Gloversville at the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains. We were lucky enough to be the only campers on site that weekend, and had the entire spread by the pond to ourselves. 

Rich was a friendly and available host, who met us and showed us around when we first arrived, brought us firewood, and gave us advice on where to hike and swim in the area. (Nine Corners Lake is a must! It has beautiful clear water and we spent two entire days hanging out there). We had a lovely few days of swimming, hiking, driving around and checking out the scenery, and cooking/hanging out at the campsite. There's a camping store in town for last-minute groceries/items that Rich can direct you to, and a Walmart about a 20 minute drive away. Take your garbage with you when you leave and leave it in the dumpsters at the camping store (not sure if there will be a better system for this down the line or not, but something to consider). And bring bug spray as it gets buggy near the pond! 

Rich mentioned that they're going to be installing outhouses and outdoor showers at the site soon, which will be a welcome addition. For now, there are shovels to dig cat holes. And there are firepits at each of the sites. 

You'll have a wonderful time at DevilDoc!
