Dun Loggin' Campground

For New York residents, the Adirondack Park represents the ultimate escape from the urban density of the city and the suburban routine of the Capital District. Located in the charming village of Northville, Dun Loggin' Campground serves as a peaceful gateway to this wilderness, perched on the scenic shores of the Great Sacandaga Lake. This campground is not just a place to park an RV; it is a destination with a rich local history that dates back to 1965. Originally founded by John “Jack” Winney, a logger by trade, the park’s name serves as a clever nod to his former vocation—literally meaning he was "done logging." Today, it remains a family-operated haven that captures the authentic spirit of Upstate New York hospitality.

The atmosphere at Dun Loggin' is characterized by its cleanliness and well-kept grounds, a sentiment frequently echoed by local visitors who appreciate the meticulous care the Winney family puts into the property. The campground successfully balances a sense of rustic seclusion with the community feel of a traditional summer colony. While it offers modern conveniences, it maintains the quiet, tree-lined character that New Yorkers look for when heading north. It is an ideal spot for those who want to spend their days on the water and their nights by a crackling fire, all within a setting that feels like a private forest retreat.

Location and accessibility are two of the strongest features for local travelers. Situated at 64 South Shore Road in Northville, NY, the campground is remarkably easy to reach for residents of Albany, Schenectady, or Troy.
