There are three summer camps located on the lake: Camp Danbee, a private girls camp, on the south side and Camp Taconic, a private co-ed camp on the north side of the lake. A third summer camp, Camp Ashmere, a co-ed church operated camp located on the south side of the lake, closed after the Summer 2018 season, and its land was put up for sale, and sold to the new Berkshire Lake Camp. The Berkshire Lake Camp was supposed to open for the summer of 2020, however it was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic until the summer of 2021.
