Enjoy life off of the Grid!
Sagamore is in the heart of the Adirondacks, a truly remote, relaxing and cell phone reception free retreat! Unfortunately there is no public transportation to Sagamore, though Amtrak does serve Albany (Rensselaer Station), Saratoga, and Utica. The nearest public airports are located in Syracuse and Albany and Bus service reaches only to Warrensburg. Limousine service is available, but expensive from the airports in Syracuse and Albany.
Most people rent a car to get to Sagamore.
From Albany (2½ hours)
Take the Warrensburg Exit #23 off the I-87 (not the thruway - 90!). Follow Rte. 9 through Warrensburg to Rte. 28. Follow Rte. 28 through the towns of Wevertown, North Creek, North River, Indian Lake, and Blue Mountain Lake. At the “T” in Blue Mountain Lake, Rte. 28 makes a left turn. Follow Rte. 28 into the village of Raquette Lake.
From Utica (1½ hours)
Take the Utica Exit #31 off the NYS Thruway (I-90). Follow Rte. 12 North to Rte. 28 North. Follow Rte. 28 through the towns of Alder Creek, Forestport, Woodgate, Thendara, Old Forge, Eagle Bay, and Inlet. Stay on Rte. 28 to the village of Raquette Lake.
From Lake Placid (2 hours)-
Follow Rte. 86 to Saranac Lake and then Rte. 3 to Tupper Lake where you will follow Rte. 30 to Long Lake. At the “T” in Long Lake, you will make a right and continue to Blue Mountain Lake. Stay on the same road in Blue Mountain Lake, it will become Rte. 28. Follow it to the village of Raquette Lake.
In the village of Raquette Lake
At the 4-way crossroads turn onto the dirt road beside the large green Sagamore sign. Drive very slowly on the road into Sagamore; one curve is posted 15 mph. Follow the sign for “Registered Guests”. When you arrive at Sagamore, you should find the gate closed. Please open it, enter, and close it again for your own privacy. Drive up the hill to the parking lot. Park your car and follow the gravel pathway and signs for the Conference Building, and enter the door labeled “Office.”
PLEASE NOTE!
Gas Stations & ATM machines are few & far between in the Adirondack Mountains. We recommend that you stop & fill up your tank before leaving the main highways!
GPS & WEB-MAP INFO
Garmon Handheld GPS: Search "Great Camp Sagamore" as a point of interest or type 1105 Sagamore Rd; Raquette Lake (make sure you list Raquette Lake!) - either will give accurate directions to Great Camp Sagamore.
Google Maps, Mapquest, and Tomtom GPS (currently, the most popular GPS system)will not find 'Great Camp Sagamore' as a point of interest, nor be able to find the address. However, (oddly enough!) 'Sagamore, NY' is listed as it's own town, and will give you accurate directions to Great Camp Sagamore.
