Fish Creek Pond Campground

We stayed here for four nights with our 22-foot RV. It does not have hookups, which is its chief limitation. We were positioned fairly close to a bathroom, and there is a potable water spigot--denoted on the camp maps--every 10 sites or so. Most sites are along one of two lakes that form the park. We found it very helpful to consult websites that give photos/videos of the campsites so that we could get one that was wider, level, not too difficult to park our rig, and near toilet. There is only one bathhouse with showers for both Fish Creek and adjacent Rollins State Park. Although very nice, it was 2/3 of a mile from our site. That may give tent campers pause, especially. But the lake views--LOVELY. Great region for hikes, fall foliage, water activities. Tupper Lake and Saranac Lake are sm

This was our first camping trip in years and our first time in the Adirondacks, so we weren't sure what to expect. We stayed here in July of 2024 and had a fantastic experience! We enjoyed our stay so much that we ended up extending it by two nights. Nearly every site is waterfront, so you can launch a kayak or canoe straight from your campsite or enjoy reading and relaxing by the water. Our site was fairly big. There wasn't a lot of privacy, but we didn't feel crowded. People seemed to mostly respect the quiet hours when we were there. The restrooms seemed to be cleaned frequently. The showers were in one big building at the very end of the campground and were free. There were also lots of outdoor activities to choose from. Of course, boating and fishing are major attractions, but there w

There are actually two separate, yet attach sections. Fish Creek is more for trailers and RV!s, including class 5’s. This section is as nice as it can be given the terrain requirements for the type of vehicles using it…My review is for the Rollins Pond section. More wilderness, sites are more private, water is beautiful and far fewer power raft makes for a more serene experience. There’s a reason it fills up a year prior and rated the best park in NY.

While Lake Saranac is a beautiful lake, the camping at Fish Creek Pond leaves a lot to be desired. There was the surly gate attendant who failed to give us a map, the map - which was provided by another camper - which was inconsistently labeled to the actual sites, the showers which were a mile away and were unbearably hot. The site we had, which was in A loop (and not AO loop as indicated on the map) was way more spacious than the tiny lakeside sites. So that was a tiny plus. Also, be aware that there are no electric sites in the park.

A great camp spot! Everything is clean and well maintained. Bathrooms are within walking distance from most sites, but you'll likely need to drive or bike to the shower building. The only negative was that the firepits were more set up for cooking and not sitting around the fire necessarily. For 2-4 people it would be fine but any larger of a group and it would be awkward.
