Camping on Hope Falls and Pumpkin Hollow Roads

There are several campsites a on side roads, little ways off of NY 30, as you head North from Northville towards Wells NY. These campsites are nice if you starting off into the Adirondacks, and are looking for a convenient place to camp for the night, and want campsites quieter then those on NY 8 / East Sacanadaga River.

These sites are all designated with official “Camp Here” discs.

Road Number of Sites
Hope Falls Road 3 Vehicle
3 Tent Sites
Pumpkin Hollow Road 2 Vehicle (Between Willis Lake and Inholding)
1 Vehicle (Beyond Inholding)

Pumpkin Hollow.

The campsites are a ways back on Pumpkin Hollow Road, a dirt road, beyond Willis Lake and the camps along it. Pumpkin hollow is a short ways south of the Sacanadaga River DEC Campground, it starts out as a paved road by a white house, then eventually a mile or two back becomes unpaved and one lane.
