Adventure Bound Camping Resorts - Deer Run

What Makes Deer Run Special

Adventure Bound Deer Run is one of the largest family camping resorts in upstate New York, offering more than 500 RV and tent campsites on a beautiful wooded property in Schaghticoke, just 20 minutes from Saratoga Springs. Whether you're planning a weekend escape or a full week of family fun, Deer Run delivers an experience that goes far beyond ordinary camping.

Pirate's Cove Water Park & Swimming

The centerpiece of Deer Run is Pirate's Cove Water Park — a splash-style water park featuring waterslides and a huge splash pad that keeps kids entertained for hours. The resort also has heated swimming pools and a kiddie pool, so families with children of all ages can cool off and make a splash together. Water attractions are included with every stay, whether you're a nightly guest or a seasonal camper.

The Adventure Bound Express Train

All aboard! The Adventure Bound Express Train is a signature attraction that kids absolutely love. This trackless train winds through the resort daily, giving families a fun and unique way to explore the property. It's one of those little touches that turn a good camping trip into a great one — and it's a big reason families come back to Deer Run year after year.

Activities & Themed Weekends

Deer Run packs its season with themed weekends and organized family activities from mid-April through mid-October. From Water Wars and Pirate Weekend to Tie-Dye, Christmas in July, and the Halloween Spooktacular, there's something special happening nearly every weekend. Between events you'll find mini-golf, jumping pillows, gem mining, ceramic painting, GaGa ball, playgrounds, fishing, and golf cart rentals — everything a family needs for an action-packed vacation or a relaxing weekend getaway.

Campsites & Cabin Rentals

After a major 2025 expansion, Deer Run now offers more than 500 campsites, including full-hookup RV sites with 30/50-amp electric, water, and sewer. Sites range from shaded wooded settings to open pull-throughs that accommodate big rigs up to 45 feet. For those who prefer a roof over their head, Deer Run has Deluxe Cabins with Loft (sleeps 8), Deluxe Cabins (sleeps 6), and cozy Rustic Cabins (sleeps 4). All cabin types include fire rings and picnic tables for that classic campfire experience.

Your Basecamp for Saratoga & Upstate NY

Location is one of Deer Run's biggest strengths. The resort sits just 20 minutes from Saratoga Springs and the Saratoga Performing Arts Center (SPAC), 30 minutes from Albany, and 45 minutes from Lake George. Whether you're catching the Saratoga racing season, exploring the Adirondack foothills, or looking for a convenient stop between NYC, Boston, and Montreal (each about 3 hours away), Deer Run is the perfect home base.

A Community That Feels Like Home

Deer Run isn't just a place to park your RV — it's a community. Hundreds of seasonal campers return every year, creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes first-time visitors feel like they belong. The resort's friendly staff lives by the "Happy to Help!" philosophy, going above and beyond to make sure every guest has an amazing stay. It's this combination of resort-quality amenities and genuine hospitality that sets Adventure Bound Deer Run apart from ordinary campgrounds.
