Camp Garcon - Historic Great Camp in Raquette Lake

A 7 bedroom historical great camp located on Raquette Lake, NY. Majestic Lake Views with a perfect porch, fire pit area and dock to enjoy them all from. Escape back in time to the historic gilded age of Adirondack Great Camps.Bundles of firewood are available for pre-purchase for five dollars a bundle. Each bundle is good for one campfire.
The space:
Camp Garcon was built as part of a larger family compound and is full of history and charm. It's gorgeous bead board walls and original woods floors will transport you back into the luxurious gilded era. A pathway through the woods leads you to your own swimming dock with scaping views of the most pristine lake in the Adirondacks. The large porch allows for daily meals outside and is deep enough to even be enjoyed on rainy days. You will fall in love with all things Garcon.
Guest access:
Guests will have access to the entire home and surrounding immediate grounds. There is a walking path through the woods to the private dock. Perfect for swimming.
Other things to note:
Raquette Lake is the largest natural body of water in the Adirondack state park. Most of its shores are pristine wilderness with endless islands, beaches and shoreline to explore. The hamlet of Raquette lake is small but meets all of your basic needs including a butcher, homemade baked goods, produce and a local tavern. You are a short drive to the larger community of Old Forge complete with restaurants, shopping and of course the water park. Come enjoy the classic ADK camp style!

Painting group trip
We are a group of artists painting together in the Adirondacks for a week. It was the perfect size and price for us. The front porch was fantastic with its swing and lots of seating, up on a hill set back from the lake with a large house between the two. There is a walk through the woods to a dock that we swam from. The living room is the size of a tiny bedroom, it was disappointing but looking back at the photos it’s as they showed. The dining room was a great size for us. The kitchen had what we needed and the pantry was nice to have. We had issues with an out of reach smoke alarm going off 5 times during our first night but we called, they came the next morning and replaced it. It’s a 10 min walk to town and some of us enjoyed taking the boat ride/tour of Raquette lake on the Durant. We made reservations for dinner at the Hedges Resort which was very nice.
