It’s the third time I have camped here at Knotty Pines and I enjoy this site very much (which is why I keep coming back). Cara is a terrific host and replies quickly to my messages. It is so quiet here and peaceful; the perfect way to unwind with nature.

I had an amazing time camping on Cara’s land! The campsite is absolutely lovely, with soft pine needles covering the ground, making it feel cozy and comfortable to set up the tent. From the moment me and my friend arrived, we were warmly greeted by Cara, the owner, who instantly made us feel at home.
Talking with her and her husband was such a pleasure—they are incredibly friendly, welcoming, and full of great stories. Their hospitality added a personal touch that made the stay even more special.
The natural surroundings were peaceful, and we appreciated the relaxed vibe throughout the property. It’s definitely a place we’ll return to in the future, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for a charming and comfortable camping experience.

Beautiful place, make sure wake up early one morning so you can see the view of lake champlain as you drive down their road during golden hour! Fairly remote but not too far of a drive from Peru and Plattsburgh. There's a state forest nearby that you can explore if you'd like. Thanks Cara!

Knotty Pines site was amazing! Plenty of space and very peaceful. Cara and her husband are friendly and I enjoyed chatting with them both. I really liked the check-in and check-out times because I felt like I had plenty of time to enjoy the site and didn't have to rush. I really enjoyed my stay and I will be back!
