Adirondack Cabins: Camp Driftwood in Indian Lake, New York: The Camp

Camp Driftwood is sited on wooded land sloping down to 750 feet of prime Indian Lake shoreline. Much of the waterfront is comprised of glacial-carved bedrock that pitches away into deep water.

There is a swimming dock attached to the shore here, and a large lean-to and fireplace located on a promontory with a panoramic view of the lake.

At the other end of the property the shoreline enters a leeward cove, great for boat docking or anchorage. A shallow, sandy beach is located farther around in the cove. The lakewater is exceptionally clear and clean.

The cabins are very private from one another, separated by real woods that have been thinned only enough to provide lake views wherever possible.

Each cabin is unique in layout, décor and siting. Families that return year after year tend to adopt a favorite, making it feel like their own "home away from home", the same time every year, right on Indian Lake.

The cabins are comfortable, rustic and full of character – one enthusiastic guest described the experience as "Ralph Lauren gone mad."

Paths and drives are not illuminated. Although a moonrise may flood the camp with a delightful light, and the star filled skies can be breathtaking, moonless nights can be incredibly dark. Please bring flashlights along with you. Evenings can also be a lot cooler than you might expect. Pack your clothing accordingly.

Cabins are not equipped with televisions or telephones (TV and cell phone reception are extremely poor). Guests are required to respect the peace and quiet of their fellow campers.

All cabins have outdoor fireplaces, and firewood is provided free of charge. Nights around the campfire give families a chance to put the modern world behind them and get re-acquainted with one another in a timeless way.
