Old Forge, New York · 100+ years on Fourth Lake

Welcome to The Turner Camps — where friendships begin

Eight cottages on four acres of Fourth Lake shoreline, in the heart of the Central Adirondack Mountains.

The Turner Camps are located in the heart of the Central Adirondack Mountains midway on the north shore of 4th Lake, the most beautiful and popular of the Fulton Chain of eight lakes. The Camps are eight miles from the Old Forge Information Center on Route 28.

The elevation is 1,800 ft. above sea level, and the air is fragrant with the scent of evergreens and of virgin timber.

The Turner Camps have four acres, from the highway to the 150 ft. lakefront, with each cottage nestled in a unique wooded setting. The beach is sandy, shallow, clean and safe for children. Free dockage is available for our guests. To the rear of the cottage area is a parking lot and playground for badminton or yard games.

Located 0.3 mi from the Bubb and Sis Lake trailhead, guests enjoy trails, hikes, mountain climbing, swimming, fishing and boating. All attractions mentioned in the Central Adirondack Guide are easily accessible from The Turner Camps. Visit oldforgeny.com for more information.

Our story

Family-run for over 100 years

The Turner Camps has been family owned and operated for more than a century, tucked into the heart of the Central Adirondack Mountains on the edge of Fourth Lake. We welcome new guests and old friends to join us each season.

It's a small operation. There's no front desk, no concierge — just a phone number that goes to whoever's around. Many of our guests come back year after year.

What guests say

"Five years running and we book a year in advance. Watching the kids jump off that dock is the highlight of our summer."
