Camp
Woodmere

Offering an awe-inspiring 1,900 linear feet of shoreline on Upper St. Regis Lake in New York’s gorgeous Adirondack mountain range, Camp Woodmere is a lakefront compound ideal for even the largest of families. Surrounded by sparkling waterways and hardwood forests, the 32-acre estate is private and serene – the perfect antidote to fast-paced modern life.

Established in 1883 by Robert Garrett (a wealthy and well-connected Baltimore native who competed in the first modern Olympics in 1896), the camp has been updated and modernized to a luxurious level over the years. The compound consists of 23 structures, including original tent platforms (8 in total) which have been enclosed as sleeping cabins, featuring private dressing rooms and baths. A main cabin and grand dining cabin connected to a kitchen area provide a large gathering place for meals and games, while an octagonal lakefront office offers its own small dock and views of the water through leaded glass windows – the ideal place for enjoying a sunrise coffee, or sunset cocktail.

Lakeside amenities include two boathouses with multiple slips and storage areas, the showpiece of which is a two-story, Pavilion-style boathouse with an open-air deck made for casual gatherings. Underneath, two uncovered slips and two covered bays provide storage for kayaks, canoes and other small craft. An additional covered dock with one slip provides extra lakefront “parking” for residents and guests.

The grounds offer not just pristine woodland but also manicured lawns, lush flower beds, and myriad outbuildings including pumphouses, woodsheds, and a caretaker’s workshop. Owned by the same family for more than 125 years, Camp Woodmere is a true legacy property, and promises to be the site of lasting memories for years to come.
