About
Fish Creek Pond Campground is a large Adirondack campground near Saranac Lake with 327 campsites plus 3 group camps, many along the shorelines of Fish Creek Pond, Square Pond, and Upper Saranac Lake. None of the sites have electric hookups, and back-in pads run up to about 40 feet. Shower buildings, restrooms, and a trailer dump station are available. Pets are allowed with proof of current rabies vaccination.
Fees
Sites are non-electric, so expect the standard rate of about $17/night plus a $7.25 reservation fee; waterfront sites add a per-night surcharge. A $5/night surcharge applies to non-New York residents. Confirm current rates when booking.
