Campgrounds near Hogansburg, New York cluster along the St. Lawrence River and surrounding areas, providing access to both waterfront and wooded settings. Robert Moses State Park Campground and Pine Ridge Park Campsite offer developed camping facilities with options for tent, RV, and cabin accommodations. Babbling Brook RV Park and Riverside Campground provide additional options with full hookups for RVs. The region's camping areas typically operate seasonally from May through September or early October, with most facilities closing during the winter months due to the harsh northern New York climate.
Reservation requirements apply at most developed campgrounds in the area, with limited first-come, first-served availability. "The park is kept up beautifully, the bathrooms were very clean and the staff very friendly," noted one visitor about Robert Moses State Park. Campground accessibility varies throughout the season, with many sites featuring electric hookups, water access, and sanitary facilities. Cell service can be inconsistent, particularly near the Canadian border where phones may connect to Canadian towers. Summer temperatures are generally pleasant, though spring camping often encounters wet conditions. Most campgrounds maintain clean restroom facilities and showers, with many offering fire rings and picnic tables at individual sites.
Waterfront locations rank consistently high in camper reviews, particularly sites along the St. Lawrence River. Pine Ridge Park Campsite receives praise for its family-friendly atmosphere and organized activities. According to feedback on The Dyrt, "Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. Fun events almost all summer, from a tail gate party to an end of school party for the kiddos." Several campgrounds offer full hookups suitable for larger RVs, including 50-amp electrical service. Robert Moses State Park provides access to hiking trails, swimming areas, and opportunities to watch ships pass through the nearby Eisenhower Locks. Camping areas farther from Hogansburg, like Fish Creek Pond Campground near Saranac Lake, offer alternative experiences in the Adirondack region approximately 90 minutes south by car, expanding options for those willing to travel beyond immediate proximity to Hogansburg.

My new favorite place!
This was one the the best camping experiences yet. The sites are great, right on the water with easy access to get Kayaks in. Loons on the lake wake you, so peaceful and beautiful. Plenty of room between neighbors. You can hang out in a floatie in front of you site, or kayak down the awesome creek. Bathrooms okay, showers clean with hot waters, but you do have to drive to them. Can’t wait to go back next year.

Site 266
The site we had was amazing, all sites are right on the water so they all may be just as nice. Ours was flat and easy to level a tent or camper.
The lake was beautiful, fun to swim in and fish in (caught perch, bass, white fish, bluegill, and crappie).
Beautiful trees and surrounding area has boat rentals.
The bathrooms were flush toilets which is a plus, but pretty gross otherwise.
Local store across the road has everything you’d need (fresh baked pizzas, ice, entire convenience store, wood, etc) and gives 4% discount for cash purchases.

Jones Pond NYSDEC Primitive Campsites
awesome place
I came from the Albany area. It took me about two hours 45 minutes and well worth the drive, I first stopped at site four and fully set up my Truck tent and the rest of camp, awesome location. You can walk down to the water, which is only a small ledge and enough space to put a chair, me and my German Shepherd were walking around the trails and we found site five which was absolutely beautiful and right on the water, I mean right on the water. I went back to site for packed up a bunch of stuff into the truck and left the truck tent in there since it takes about 30 minutes to take up and down, I had walked the road a couple of times to see if I could get my truck down there, definitely need four-wheel-drive, but it is possible to get your truck down there and I did, set up camp there spent the rest of the day the night and all of the next day. Absolutely beautiful the dog loved the water being right there, I definitely love this place. This is my first campsite that I found using the app highly recommend.

Carry Falls Recreation Area
Quite, not high quality.
Thai place is very cute, quiet, and not a lot of people frequent. The bathrooms are kind of “rundown” they are old and they use composing toilets with no showers and one sink located outside of the facility. It is NOT FREE they charge 16.00 a night. Located on an inlet of the man made lake. Water access, quiet, not busy, small, gives small town feel. Comes with picnic table and fireplace. We had site 6 and fit our 30 ft camper with 4 cars.

First visit - but will not be our last!
First time here - here for a week. From Vermont. We love it. Spacious campsites, beautiful setting. Great staff. Although we are empty nesters there is more for kids/families to do than any place we have been.
And yes, they do have WIFI. Very basic free wifi. There are also plans you can buy for your stay, two of us, two devices, $42 for a week.
Access controlled by gate - system reads your license plate and opens if you are registered
Very good store - more RV repair parts than I have seen elsewhere.
Snack bar - that delivers to your campsite, you order on their app.
I understand they have a restaurant and bar.
Quite quiet.
Will definitely be back.
Guide to Hogansburg
Camping spots near Hogansburg, New York cluster along the northern border of New York State where the St. Lawrence River creates a natural boundary with Canada. At around 200 feet above sea level, this low-elevation region experiences wide temperature fluctuations between seasons, with summer nights typically cooling to the mid-50s even after warm days. Cell service often connects to Canadian towers in this border region, requiring campers to check their phone plans for international roaming charges.
What to do
Kayaking network exploration: At Fish Creek Pond Campground, water enthusiasts can access an extensive connected pond system. "The water is super shallow all along the shoreline. It's perfect for dogs, kids, and hanging out in the water. The bottom is sandy with some rocks, good to have water shoes but not essential," notes one camper. This campground sits about 90 minutes south of Hogansburg.
Ship watching opportunities: Located near Robert Moses State Park Campground, the Eisenhower Locks provide unique viewing of international shipping. "Near the Eisenhower Locks which is nice to watch the ships come in," reports a visitor. This activity is free and accessible year-round during daylight hours.
Winter recreation planning: Though most camping areas close by October, some locations like Meacham Lake maintain winter access for day use. "The west side is way cooler, less bugs and more views. The east side is RV/camper heaven," explains one camper comparing the two sections of this campground.
What campers like
Water access variety: Numerous Rollins Pond Campground sites feature direct water frontage. "You have to go all the way through the fairly busy Fish Creek campground to get into Rollins Pond on a dead end road, so don't forget the groceries. Almost all the sites are lakefront," advises one camper. The pond connects to a network of navigable waterways.
Privacy options: For those seeking seclusion, Meacham Lake Campground offers separated camping areas. "The West side of the campground is reserved for primitive tent campers with a few choice sites right on the water. These sites generally have tent platforms which is a good thing," notes a visitor. Platform sites require gear hauling from parking areas.
Peaceful atmosphere: Campers consistently mention the quiet environment at certain campgrounds. "As it isn't too far of a drive for us, it quickly became our go-to campgrounds for quite a while due to the mostly flat campground and who doesn't love hearing the slow trickle of water splashing close by?" shares one regular visitor to Rollins Pond.
What you should know
Seasonal operations: Most campsites in the Hogansburg area operate from May through early October. "We spent a week here and didn't have a lakeside site, but one of the small ones on the stream. Great place to visit. If you do score a lakeside site, your views will be spectacular!" explains a visitor to Meacham Lake Campground.
Variable terrain conditions: Some sites experience significant ground saturation during wet periods. "We camped on site 188 for 3 nights and really enjoyed having our own private 'beach,' however, we it was extremely boggy! The campground had put down sheets of plywood to help, but still the ground was so soggy that the plywood had eventually 'soaked away,'" reports a Meacham Lake camper.
