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.
