Fish Creek Pond Campground

About

Fish Creek Pond Campground sits within the heart of the Adirondack Park near Saranac Lake, earning its reputation as the premier public campground in the region. The facility spreads along the shores of Fish Creek Pond, providing direct water access from the majority of its 355 campsites. A natural sand beach, playground, volleyball and basketball courts, and an amphitheater with daily interpretive programs during summer months offer recreation beyond the water. The campground accommodates everything from tents to 40-foot RVs, though no hookups are available. Facilities include flush toilets, hot showers operating from late May through Columbus Day, a trailer dump station, and firewood sales. Eleven ADA-accessible campsites are distributed throughout the facility, along with accessible restrooms and a wheelchair charging station. Boating is a primary draw, with a boat launch providing access to Fish Creek Pond and connecting waterways. Motorized boats, canoes, kayaks, and paddleboards are all welcome. Fishing opportunities abound in the pond's freshwater, and hiking trails extend into the surrounding Adirondack wilderness.
