The Blue Roost

Our camp philosophy is that "it is small, but it has everything you need!" The Blue Roost is a charming camp that looks out onto Green’s Bay, a part of Higley Flow reservoir, and the Racquette River. If you are visiting the area for anything college or university related we are 13 miles from Canton, NY and 12 miles from Potsdam, NY. If you are visiting for sun, water, relaxation, Fall colors, hikes, and camp life you are in the right place! The space This tiny 3 story A-frame camp right on the water! We are located in the foothills of the Adirondacks. This is usually a seasonal camp because we draw water from the river, but this year we had a well drilled so we can extend our season further into the beautiful Fall, and early winter. As you come down the hill past my she-shed, there are two decks. The first deck is for outside seating and camp fires. The second deck is covered for grilling and dining. The main level has the kitchen, bathroom, and additional coffee nook and dining area. If you climb a small latter you will be in the loft. It has 1 twin bed and one queen bed for guests. You will also find a spiral staircase that takes you down to the living room, bedroom, and screened in patio overlooking the water. There is a small deck and dock for sitting in the sun. It’s a beautiful place to watch sunsets, or family swimming in the water right next to you. Guest access Guests have access to the decks, camp, patio, grill, and kayaks on site. There is the She Shed by the driveway that is mostly for some storage but could be used for quiet reflection, or for kids to have a secret escape. Dressers downstairs are for guests, and there is under the bed storage for guests in the loft. Other things to note This is a seasonal camp for those who love the water and outdoor recreation. The camp is surrounded by trees, therefore pine needles, pine cones, and leaves are to be expected. The camp has a sandy waterfront and is surrounded by sand so expect sandy feet. If you are looking for a more simple way of life on the water this is the place for you.
