Lake Durant – A place I’m thinking of camping in the autumn

There are two free, primitive campsites located on Old Route 8 & 30, an old routing of the highway just south of Blue Mountain Lake on Lake Durant. On the western shore of the lake, they are a ways from the craziness of campground, and far enough off NY 30 to avoid some of the noise and craziness of that area.

If you didn’t have a map, you might not know these two campsites exist on this rough, mostly now gravel and dirt surface of old state highway.

There are two campsites, this upper one, while primative and well picked over for firewood, looks like it would be a delight off season. Cell service too if I can remember right, which is good for remote work.
