GPS & WEB-MAP INFO

Garmon Handheld GPS: Search 'Great Camp Sagamore' as a point of interest or type 1105 Sagamore Rd; Raquette Lake (make sure you list Raquette Lake!) - either will give accurate directions to Great Camp Sagamore.

Google Maps, Mapquest, and Tomtom GPS (currently, the most popular GPS system): None of these will find 'Great Camp Sagamore' as a point of interest, nor be able to find the address.  However, (oddly enough!) 'Sagamore, NY' listed as it's OWN TOWN will give you accurate directions to Great Camp Sagamore.
