If you’re looking for a family-friendly glamping site near the Adirondacks, then look no further! Camp Rockaway in Schuylerville is located along the beautiful banks of Lake Champlain and it’s the perfect glamping spot for the whole family.

The Glamping Experience

At Camp Rockaway, we offer safari-style canvas tents that come furnished with a queen-sized bed, a memory foam mattress, pillows, extra blankets, linens, side tables with fans, towels and lights so you can pack light!

The 10 x 12 wall tent sits on a raised wood platform with a front deck with lounge chairs, and a shaded back porch with a hammock for you to enjoy.

Families with young children can also rent teepee-style “pup” tents for them to sleep in. (We think they will enjoy playing in the tents during the day!)

On Camp Rockaway campgrounds, you can find clean bathrooms and hot showers, a communal fire pit (smores kits are available), a picnic area, board games, plenty of hammocks and more!
