About
Meacham Lake Campground sits on a lake near Paul Smiths in the northern Adirondacks. The 210 campsites are complemented by four separate group camp areas, plus hot showers, flush toilets, a trailer dump station, boat and canoe rentals, and a playground. The lake supports boating, fishing, and swimming. Pets are allowed on a 6-foot leash with proof of current rabies vaccination, but not on the beach, in day-use areas, or in buildings.
Fees
Standard sites are about $17/night plus a $7.25 reservation fee ($1.25 walk-in), with a $4/night weekend/holiday surcharge. Out-of-state campers pay an additional $5/night. No sites here have electric hookups.
