Camp Okwáho
2. Camp Okwáho
34mi from Schroon Lake · 1 site · Tent, RV
Located within the Adirondack Park, our camp is a private woodlot with a fantastic view of Jay Mountain! You’ll enjoy peace and quiet, with no road noise or light pollution. The eastern exposure of the site provides plenty of sunshine. Although you’re likely here to explore the Adirondack Mountains, our property invites you to truly relax and enjoy the surroundings.
The driveway leads to a level area for car camping or pitching a tent. You’ll also find a stone fire pit with firewood available for purchase (honor system) on site. A unique timber framed outhouse is just a short walk from the campsite. As a rule, we leave the outhouse stocked with toilet paper, hand sanitizer, and trash bags. However, because we won’t be on site to restock supplies between guests, it’s best to come prepared with those items.
We think you’ll agree that our location is hard to beat! You’ll see and hear wildlife throughout your stay. Listen for the drumming of a Ruffed Grouse by day, and for barking foxes, chatty coyotes, and hooting owls at night. While fully immersed in a prime Adirondack setting, you’ll still be surprisingly close to nearby attractions and conveniences:
1 mile from the Jay Mtn trailhead
2 miles from the Ice Jam Inn (dinner)
2 miles from the ADK Cafe (breakfast, lunch)
4 miles from Ward Lumber (camp supplies)
4 miles from Jay Covered Bridge/swimming hole
8 miles to Keene (beer, gas, groceries, etc)
10-20 minutes from lots of High Peak hiking access (Giant, The Garden, and others)
16 miles to Lake Placid
While we do mow and cleanup up several times per year, our Camp is fairly primitive. That being said, you might encounter tall grass and an occasional fallen tree (free firewood!).
The driveway and campsite are navigable in a vehicle with 4WD/AWD. A bit of extra ground clearance will help. If you have concerns about whether or not your ride can handle it, feel free to contact us… we can weigh in.
Please treat the land with respect. We ask that all guests clean up after themselves upon checkout, and take their trash with them when leaving. Thank you for your interest in Camp Okwáho. We know you’ll enjoy your stay!!! 🐺

Escape to 10 private acres of Vermont forest at the end of a gravel drive. Your 20' white bell tent sits on a hand-built platform in a half-acre clearing surrounded by untouched woods. Inside, unwind with cozy seating; outside, gather around the fire pit or relax in Adirondack chairs as the sun rises or stars emerge. Wake to birdsong, explore Vermont's scenic roads and trails, then return to your secluded camp. This is rustic glamping—expect forest terrain with rocks, roots, and nature's authentic sounds (woodpeckers included!). Perfect for couples, friends, or solo travelers seeking to disconnect and recharge in true wilderness.

Camp Butz was a great place for a quiet weekend in Vermont to see the fall colors. The tent, beds and deck were welcoming and comfortable. The site was private and peaceful with a great view of the stars.

Quiet, secluded, flat. It was a peaceful stay at a no frills site. I would definitely stay there again! Lots of wildlife…deer, turkey, owl, coyotes.
Nice and Simple!

This is a great site. Just off the road, up a little dirt road, and into a big open meadow. I keep coming back since the sites are level and big enough for my camper. This time, the colors were spectacular. Highly recommended!

My second or third time here. Great site, easy access to the high peaks and river and pretty quiet. The site is level for campers, so I don’t even need to use my leveling blocks.

We had a great time here! Stephanie was friendly and quick to respond. The directions were clear and the site was easy to find. Great location for many trails in the high peaks. Nice tucked away spot for privacy, even when someone is in the other site. The site is spacious and beautiful. We didn’t have service at the site, so I would recommend downloading maps for trails, etc before arriving.

Awesome site. Loved the privacy. Great fire pit with plenty of fire wood available. Perfectly level site to camp next to my vehicle. Easily accessible with a small 2 wheel drive truck.

We had a wonderful stay at the Jay Mountain Vista campsite! There is ample room to wander and play. The tent/RV pad was well maintained and easily accommodated two tents, one of which sleeps 8 campers. It's conveniently located next to the Ausable river, which offers quite a refreshing dip after a strenuous and muddy hike up Porter. How nice it was to be able to run over to Jay, with some nice dining options and food markets. Stephanie, the host, is extremely responsive and communicates clearly. Great place to camp!

Great site; close enough to all the fun but far enough away to be peaceful. The weather could’ve been a tad dryer but we made the most of it!
