Welcome to Great Camp Sagamore in the Adirondacks at Raquette Lake, NY. Our 27 authentic buildings were the wilderness estate of the Vanderbilt family from 1901-1954. Now a National Historic Landmark & a not-for-profit organization we are dedicated to education, interpretation & historic preservation. Please visit for a 2 hour guided tour in summer, fall or an overnight program. Many guests attend Exploritas or Grands intergenerational summer camp.  Other guests come for retreats, reunions, & relaxation in an incomparable natural setting. Open to the public from Memorial Day (Volunteer) Weekend through mid-October, Great Camp Sagamore is not a hotel. Expect instead a “bit” of history. Register today to win a Simply Sagamore Stay.
