As far as we know, this land has been occupied since shortly after the civil war.  It is actually two farms, combined into one around 1900. The main farmhouse was built out of the logs they cleared in 1879, and there are old foundations of the other original farm houses/barns as well.  All over the property (now woods) there are piles of stones that the original inhabitants pulled from the fields. The second farm house was built in 1901. Most of the total 240 acres were cleared pasture land at that time.  During the twenties and thirties the property was owned by an industrious couple from the City that lovingly turned it into more of a "rustic retreat"; damming a pond, planting ornamentals and upgrading the buildings.  There have been many owners over the years, but we are proud to say it has been with us the longest.  Our family bought it in 1961 and we have been trying to be good stewards ever since.  Come and visit our little patch of wilderness!

Adirondack Rustic Retreat

As far as we know, this land has been occupied since shortly after the civil war.  It is actually two farms, combined into one around 1900. The main farmhouse was built out of the logs they cleared in 1879, and there are old foundations of the other original farm houses/barns as well.  All over the property (now woods) there are piles of stones that the original inhabitants pulled from the fields. The second farm house was built in 1901. Most of the total 240 acres were cleared pasture land at that time.  During the twenties and thirties the property was owned by an industrious couple from the City that lovingly turned it into more of a "rustic retreat"; damming a pond, planting ornamentals and upgrading the buildings.  There have been many owners over the years, but we are proud to say it has been with us the longest.  Our family bought it in 1961 and we have been trying to be good stewards ever since.  Come and visit our little patch of wilderness!

The best camping near Lake George with campfires guide

Where to go

Lake George Islands

The lake is home to more than 300 islands, including 44 state-owned islands that offer some 380 campsites spread over three island groups: Glen Island Group in the Narrows east of Bolton Landing, Long Island Group at the southern end, and the Narrow Island Group at the northern end. Several islands, including Hermit Island and Refuge Island, feature only a single campsite, offering campers the ultimate private island camping experience. Some areas, such as Red Rock Bay, offer water sites for cruisers with sleeping quarters. All Lake George island campsites are accessible by boat only.

West Shore Lake George

Several small towns, including Diamond Point, Bolton Landing, and Hague, can be found along the west shore and offer dining, shopping, and other amenities. Lakeside camping options are also available and include the state-owned Hearthstone Point Campground. Private campgrounds and RV resorts can be found in scenic settings that include mountains, woods, and rivers, and include options along the Schroon River and spots with tent sites, RV sites with full hookups, and camping cabins.

South Shore Lake George

The Village of Lake George is located right at the southern shore of the lake and offers several popular beaches, boat rentals, and all the amenities you'd expect in a resort destination. Further south, find the cultural hub of Glen Falls, the town of Queensbury, and additional attractions that include Prospect Mountain, Six Flags Great Escape, and Coopers Cave. Camping options are plentiful and include the state-owned Lake George Battleground and several large private campgrounds and RV parks, some with creature comforts including wifi and swimming pools.

North and East Shore Lake George

Camping options near the north shore are limited and include the state-owned Rogers Rock Campground and a few private campgrounds. The town of Ticonderoga can be found at the northern end, along with historic Fort Ticonderoga. The east shore of Lake George is rugged and undeveloped, with only a few small hamlets and two summer camps for kids. Natural attractions include Black Mountain, Buck Mountain, and Shelving Rock Falls.
