Harrisville, NY
Lake Bonaparte
This camp was owned by the Jefferson-Lewis Council and consisted of 41 acres of land with 150 feet of shoreline. It was located on the south shore of Lake Bonaparte near Harrisville, New York. The camp operated from 1921 to 1946. In 1947 the council had completed building Camp Portaferry, a much larger camp, and no longer needed this camp. The camp was sold that same year.
