New York campground
Fish Creek Pond Campground reservations
Saranac Lake, NY (Adirondacks)
Fish Creek Pond is a NYSDEC campground, not a State Parks one: 355 sites, most with water access on Fish Creek Pond and Square Pond. DEC opens each night 9 months ahead but doesn't publish a release time, so the 8 a.m./9 a.m. State Parks times may not apply.
This campground has its own booking rule, which the tool below uses. For New York's state parks, see New York booking rules. Season: May 24, 2027 to October 12, 2027 (DEC: the 2027 season opens May 24 (late, for trail work); closing date posted as October 12 without a year).
