    Long Lake Camp - View from Lakeside (the 13-14 cabin)

    Long Lake Camp

    Hello I am Mary and I attended long Lake in 2001. Long lake has many memories but my favorite is…read morewhen I met my now wife Marlena. The camp was so supportive of our lesbian self's but they didn't let us front hug. But all in all 10/10 experience.

    Five and a half weeks into my daughter's third summer here, she was sent home for her "safety" and…read morethe "safety" of others. My daughter has never been in trouble a day in her life. In the weeks leading up to her being sent home, she had a severe allergic reaction to a bee sting for the first time in her life. She received appropriate treatment, was evaluated at the hospital and returned to camp. A couple of weeks later, she had what was assessed as an allergic reaction to some candy she had eaten from the canteen and again was treated at the hospital. She had no known food allergies prior to this and was told at the hospital that they were not sure what caused the reaction. In the days/hours leading to her dismissal, she had gone to the nurse to get a band-aid after scratching herself on the metal bed frame in the bunk. The nurse asked her about cutting which my daughter denied. In her words, "why would I go to the nurse if I was doing that?". While waiting in-line at the canteen thinking that she had had an allergic reaction to something she had eaten there, she was apparently overheard discussing this with a friend. This was interpreted as her trying to eat something to purposely make herself sick and then also trying to get other kids to eat things that would make them sick. Carolyn, the director cited concerns of her inciting TikTok challenge. If you know my daughter, which they should have but obviously didn't, this quite frankly is insane. I was called to pick her up on Wednesday. We live five hours away and were scheduled to be at camp on that Friday for parents' weekend. My daughter had the lead in one of the plays. She was told to pack her things but not tell anyone that she was leaving and was admonished by the head counselor Jade for telling her friends what was happening when her bags were packed in the middle of her bunk. The camp director, Carolyn told her that she could eat with her friends if she "behaved". My daughter had no understanding of what she had done or what was going on. No one had a conversation with her to clarify anything that had been overheard. They would not share who overheard what so that my daughter could put comments into context. It was clear in those hours that Carolyn, had no idea what my daughter's last name was even when sending her home. This was after 11 1/2 weeks and ~$27,000 spent at this camp over the course of three years. She also had no idea how long she had been coming there. My daughter was not allowed to contact me as she requested during those hours. These people couldn't care less about your kid. They want your money and nothing more.

    It has been one of my favorite campground for years now, and obviously more people have discovered…read morethis wonderful place, as it is almost impossible to get a lakeside campsite these days. A small lake, no large motorized boats are allowed, so it is quiet and peaceful. In fact, the greatest disturbances tend to be other campers who insist on playing their music loudly. Thankfully, there is usually a good amount of space between sites, and most people respect the quiet hours. While this campground is a long way away from where I live, it is definitely worth the drive. If you are interested in fall camping, I can't even being to describe how beautiful it is to wake up in the morning to see the lake surrounded by a riot of colors.

    This was one of the more unique camping experiences I've had at a NYS campground and I really…read moreenjoyed the experience. Located close to Indian Lake, the Lewey Lake Campground has multiple entrances off of Route 30N with the main campground the furthest south and what I have labeled on the Yelp map. Keep in mind that the address does not come up properly on Google Maps or Bing maps so look at the Yelp placement for more accuracy. We were at the furthest north campsites which are pretty isolated from everyone else. The sites our group stayed at were situated right next to a stream which was great for sleeping. You couldn't hear anyone around you and even with the goings on at our lower campsite we couldn't hear them at all. There only outhouses at this location of the campground but it is a short drive to the main sites that have real bathrooms and showers along with a nice, simple beach. Despite how close it is to Route 30N, I definitely felt isolated in a good way and would highly recommend staying there for people looking for some interesting camping with reasonably convenient location.

Intimate, yet private tents that are more like cabins (lights, ceiling fans, heaters, and a front porch with rocking chairs) dot the hillside above the rustic central meeting place, which is anchored by a huge fire pit that burns continuously throughout the season. I haven't even gotten to the food! A professional chef, at home creating in any cuisine, sets a bountiful and delicious table. I had never been glamping before. I worry that I'll have a hard time going back to regular camping. Even with my blow up mattress. Thank you, David! This was a most amazing experience!

You're in the woods, in an awesome area surrounded by a great stream being waited on hand and foot. David was an awesome host the entire weekend, a friend and I drove up from NYC and were greeted with awesome local foods (sausages and cheese), produce, and a bottle of wine, we spent the night in a permanent tent structure that was pre-stocked with plenty of firewood (this was back in Oct). The host was an awesome chef, great to chat with, and was totally fine with giving us space when we needed. Additionally we packed a few food packs and went into the Caves of adirondacks. We definitely plan on coming back.
