Cranberry Lake Campground

About

Cranberry Lake Campground is a New York State DEC facility located on the southeastern shore of Cranberry Lake in St. Lawrence County. The lake is one of the largest remote bodies of water in the Adirondack Park, and the campground provides direct access to its waters via a boat launch and fishing pier. All 171 campsites are back-in style with fire rings and picnic tables, and the facility offers flush toilets, hot showers, a dump station, and potable water throughout. The campground's sand beach and bathhouse make it popular with families, while the surrounding 150,000 acres of forest preserve and 50 miles of trails draw hikers and backcountry enthusiasts. Nearby wilderness areas include the Cranberry Lake Wild Forest and Five Ponds Wilderness. Additional amenities include an amphitheater with interpretive programs, pavilion rentals, firewood and ice sales, and a recycling center. Seven ADA-accessible campsites are available along with accessible restrooms, beach access, and shower facilities. Pets are permitted with proof of current rabies vaccination and must remain leashed. Quiet hours are strictly enforced from 10 PM to 7 PM. Generator use is limited to 5 hours daily.
