Great Camp is a term often used to describe a style of rustic architecture and outdoor recreational experience, particularly in the Adirondack region of New York. These camps were popularized in the late 19th and early 20th centuries by wealthy individuals seeking a retreat in nature. Great Camps typically feature large, log cabins, expansive porches, and communal spaces designed for relaxation and socializing. The design of Great Camps emphasizes harmony with the natural environment, using local materials and incorporating elements like stone fireplaces and large windows. Notable examples include the Camp Sagamore, once owned by the Vanderbilt family, which showcases the grandeur and craftsmanship of this architectural style.
