49mi from Eighth Lake Campground · 1 siteBlue Bear Adirondack Camp is a private 80-acre woodland retreat in Hadley, New York, tucked into the southern Adirondacks.
Two small mountain peaks rise from the property, with logging trails winding to summit views overlooking the surrounding forest and lake country. It's a place built for slowing down and reconnecting with nature.
Just 2 miles away, Great Sacandaga Lake offers swimming, fishing, and paddling, with kayaks available upon request. Back on the property, wander the trails, watch for birds and wildlife in the meadow, and pick from a cultivated blueberry patch in late summer.
When night falls, minimal light pollution reveals some of the clearest skies in the region—ideal for stargazing, spotting the Milky Way, and astrophotography around the campfire.
The property sits about 30 minutes from West Mountain, Saratoga Springs, and Lake George, making day trips easy, though most guests choose to stay put. Your stay is in a rustic, off-grid loft cabin with a wood stove and composting toilet—a true unplugged escape with room to breathe, trails right from your door, and 80 acres of quiet largely to yourself.
We welcome campers of every background to feel at home here and to find safety, belonging, and joy beneath the trees and stars. Bring your boots, a sense of adventure, and a little curiosity—the mountain will take care of the rest.
