|đď¸THE CAMPGROUNDđď¸
â¨THIS LISTING IS FOR THE ENTIRE CAMPGROUND - PRIVATE TO YOU AND YOUR PARTY! UP TO 25 GUESTS!â¨THIS LISTING IS NOT FOR AN INDIVIDUAL CABINâ¨
đ Open for the April 8th, Total Solar Eclipse - Right in the Path of Totality! Watch from the private field! đ Up to 40 guests allowed for this event. Note: it is Mud Season - 4W drive is highly recommended to get into camp on the dirt road. Would need to know total car count (parking is not allowed in field).
đLocated in the towns of Russell and Clare, New York, escape to 56 beautiful private acres, surrounded by towering pine trees, half a mile of private riverfront, a pond, field and trails to explore!
đ˛Tucked in the backwoods down a private dirt road, you will find four small cabins, one large main cabin and a bathhouse. You will have private access to half a mile of the Grasse River! On most days you can hear the sound of the river from camp! Bring your fly fishing or spinning reel rods, picnic or just relax on the shoreline! There is a huge field next to the cabins, a nearby pond and private trails to explore!
| THE CABINS |
Main Cabin: One larger cabin, consisting of a living room, full kitchen (dishwasher, stove, refrigerator, coffee maker, and toaster), laundry room with washer and dryer. Three bedrooms (2 king beds & 1 queen bed), two full bathrooms (one en-suite) with standup showers and one large bathtub. Two of the bedrooms have closets. The main cabin is not heated and space heaters will be provided during any colder months (Spring/Fall).
Mini Cabins: Four small log cabins spread out in a row, underneath a canopy of beautiful pine trees! The cabins are spaced far enough that there is enough privacy in-between each one. The cabins come equipped with power, WIFI, Roku TVs, refrigerators, microwaves, coffee makers, screened-in porches, AC units, ceiling fans and outdoor water hookups. They each comfortably sleep between 2-3 adults. Cabins are not heated. Space heaters are provided during colder months (Spring/Fall).

Guests can bring their own bedding and towels. Or, can request that sheets and towels are provided (free of charge).
*The smaller cabins do not have running water or bathrooms. Water pumps are available outside each cabin, meant for bringing in your own water if you wish to. There is a bathhouse with separate menâs and womenâs bathrooms and showers a short walk from the cabins.
*Please note although the cabins are outfitted with modern amenities, they still have a rustic camp-like feel*
*RVs are welcome and can be easily parked next to the cabins. There is only water hookups available outside the four smaller cabins. The site is not a pull-through, so RVs would have to turn around at the end of the driveway*
| THE BATHHOUSE |
Across from the four smaller cabins is a bathhouse, featuring men's and women's sides. Each side has two bathroom stalls, one stand up shower and double sinks.
| THE GRASSE RIVER |
The Grasse River is a 73 mile-long river, mainly flowing northeast from the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains into the St. Lawrence Valley. Stocked with brown trout, native brook trout, smallmouth bass and rock bass.
Follow the trails from the campground to the river, where you can picnic, fish and relax!
*Swimming is at guestsâ own risk. The riverâs current depends on the season or how much rain the area has received. While exploring the banks of the river you will find faster and slower areas.*
| THE POND |
There is a private trail which leads to a small pond. The pond is perfect for exploring by canoe or kayak. There are a few channels which lead to other trails on the property.
*Several other properties have access to the pond. However, we have yet to see anyone else using the pond - it is very quiet! The pond is not meant for swimming*
| THE TRAILS |
There are multiple private trails leading to the river, into the woods and the pond. If you enjoy being in nature, these trails are truly lovely to walk/run/bike and enjoy! They are also extremely wide and well-groomed. We have added Adirondack chairs at certain end points.
| THE FIELD |
A large field abuts the smaller cabins. Adirondack chairs have been placed around a large fire-pit in the field, perfect for hanging out with family and friends and enjoying some sâmores while stargazing!
