Douglas Resort and Campground

“LOVE this place! How can you go wrong with a lake named Silver Lake and it is situated in a town called Hawkeye. Spectacular views and brews. The beach house has a full menu and bar for an added convenience. It is one of those special places that need to be experienced.”

“My family have been attending the Douglas' for over 30 years. A fantastic family reunion trip, but certainly a rustic, scenic feel. Boats and other watersports are available for rent at a decent price. If you are particularly attached to creature comforts like cell reception and wifi, this is not the place for you, as modest WiFi is available only at the main house, which is also a Bar/Restaurant. The lake is beautiful, and the fishing is fantastic. Fires are allowed. Perfect for a retreat or getaway. Also relatively close to Lake Champlain, Lake Placid, and convenience stores are available at Ausable Forks, about a 15min ride from the main cabin. This is important as they do not provide much in the cabins. One must be prepared beforehand if they don't wish to do much shopping during the week.”

“We had a week long family vacation here and had a blast. What a perfect spot on a beautiful Adirondack lake. Be aware that the cabins are very rustic, but they had everything we needed. The resort also has a bar that is open a few nights a week that we enjoyed. My only critique is that we traveled to the resort by RV, but planned on staying in the cabin. They were very adamant that our RV could NOT be parked near the cabin. This was a bit of a pain, but we made it work. I'd go back there anytime!”
