This Is Why We Camp | Cranberry Lake, NY

We spent 3 nights camping at Cranberry Lake in the Adirondacks with our family of five and Archie the golden retriever. There were quiet mornings out on the paddleboard, endless bike loops around the campground, Archie chasing bubbles and sneaking in swim breaks, and plenty of organized chaos in between. We cooked over the fire more than ever before: Mediterranean bowls, Crunchwrap Supremes, and Amanda’s apple crisp redemption. It reminded us why we love being out here together. The Adirondacks were promised to stay forever wild and for a few days, so were we. 🌲 Trips like this have us asking big questions. Is it time to take the jump into a new camper? Our family has been wrestling with what’s next, and Cranberry Lake gave us a lot to think about.

🍳 Camp meals: Mediterranean bowls, Crunchwrap Supremes, steak night, apple crisp redemption, breakfast hash
🚤 Day trip: Rollins Pond State Park playground + Tupper Lake
