42mi from Long Lake · 1 site · Tent, RVLocated 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!!! 🐺
