“Ubuntu” Def: An ancient African word meaning “Humanity to others”. It is a reminder of “I am what I am because of who we all are.” We do our best to bring the spirit of Ubuntu to our lives and property that we have been graced with. We hope your visit to Ubuntu will be peaceful and rejuvenating. Ubuntu was the PERFECT place to observe the Northern Lights on Friday and Saturday (May 10-11). Campers at Ubuntu found the perfect spot to observe the April 8th TOTAL solar eclipse. There are no lights, no neighbors in sight, and they had the freedom to choose their campsite or observation point, whether it was on the flat, nestled in the trees, or on top of Carney Mountain. RV’s also easily found a spot to camp. New friends were made as everyone observed the eclipse. It was totally awe inspiring in so many ways!! The open areas and the top of Carney Mountain, which is a short hike with panoramic views of the area, were perfect spots to experience the solar eclipse, Northern Lights, sunrises and sunsets. The 115 acres of Ubuntu offer many opportunities for camping, hiking and enjoying the abundant wildlife. There is a wet area that sometimes becomes several ponds if the beavers have been at work. There is a path leading to the ponds and also one that runs through the woods to the right of the ponds. The location is private and quiet but still very accessible (only 10 minutes from Exit 34 off the Northway) to all the Adirondacks has to offer, such as biking, jogging, kayaking, canoeing, fishing, and hiking. Ubuntu is located only 45 minutes from Lake Placid and the high peaks areas, Saranac Lake is about one hour away, Lake Champlain is 20 minutes away, and Montreal is one hour away. The ferry to Vermont if you wish to cross over the pond (Lake Champlain) is about 45 minutes away. And Exit 34 off the Northway is only 10 minutes from Ubuntu. And if you love equestrian sports, the Willow Hill Equestrian Center is less than 1.5 miles away. Bring your horse and stable your buddy at the Willow Hill Farm, or sign up for a lesson with one of their accomplished instructors. Your furry pets are welcome, but we ask that you keep them on a leash if they tend to chase game or do not have a reliable recall. Please use good judgment. There are many deer on the property, so yes we do have ticks. Please take the necessary precautions. Generators are allowed but in keeping with the peace and tranquility of Ubuntu, please run them only between the hours of 12:00 - 2 PM, especially if other campers are present.. If there are no other campers then use at your own discretion. We hope that your visit to Ubuntu will be a great experience that you will enjoy and treasure! In Peace, Aisha and Moussa

Aisha was a friendly host. She met me with a map. There were some gorgeous spots right on campsite. I had the most picturesque toilet ever, filled with beautiful original art to buy. It was a peaceful and relaxing spot

Ubuntu is a slice of paradise!
Aisha's land was gorgeous! The sites were beautiful and the area was quiet and private. The pond was serene, the hike up Carney Mountain was well marked and a great addition to the stay. Mountain View was private, had a beautiful view, and was large and flat and easy to access.

Aisha’s property is lovely. The views are beautiful and the gallery outhouse was also nice. She was very accommodating as we arrived a couple hours later than expected in the dark. We really enjoyed our stay and would return if we were in the area again.

Glorious Autumn Camping
What a beautiful spot for a fall camping trip. Aisha was so helpful in getting us situated. My dog & I loved our stay & will definitely be back on our frequent trips between Montreal & the Hudson Valley. Glorious foliage & mountainous surroundings.

What a great experience! Aisha met us as soon as we arrived in the property and gave us all the info on the sites and trails. The views were incredible and so serene. We will be returning.
