Great Camp Sagamore was built in 1897 by William West Durant and is considered the classic "great camp" of the Adirondacks. It was sold to Alfred G. Vanderbilt in 1901 and was enjoyed by the Vanderbilt family for more than 50 years afterward. Situated on about 19 acres, Great Camp Sagamore is a self-contained rustic village, including a dining hall, boathouse, ice house, horse barn, guest cottages, and bowling alley. Also on the grounds is the casino playhouse, whose walls are covered with animals hunted by generations of Vanderbilt's. Great Camp Sagamore is a National Historic Site now owned by the Sagamore Institution. Guests are welcome for day visits as well as longer stays, often in the framework of courses and programs. Space is limited.
