  Exactly what we needed

  Lower Beverly Lake camp ground gave us the experience we needed. With a creek side site, water and electricity hook up, lots for the kids to do and activities on site planned by the camp ground it was such a lovely weekend. The lake was perfect and the beach was great for little kids and big with very little seaweed. Everyone was friendly and it’s has the perfect atmosphere with any type of site you could look for.

  Jones Pond NYSDEC Primitive Campsites

  Nice spot for a couple nights

  Stayed here with a group of friends at site #4. Was a great spot and lots of room for our 4 tents/3vehicles. It was over the July 4th week, so very busy and found people would just walk through your campsite. Which of course would make our dogs bark at them. Also a lot of people just walking the road, so privacy can really be hit or miss. A lot of people have their dogs off leash as well. One of the rangers stopped by and sure did have a big chip on his shoulder. Overall would stay again, but would maybe instead stay at site 5 or over at a short hike in spot along Jones Pond rd. Overall a great place, just wish people would have more respect when around others campsites.

  Fish Creek Pond - DEC

  On the water!

  We have a rather large rig (36 ft fifth wheel plus the truck) & while fish creek is notoriously a tent only/small rig campground we fit perfectly & our site has cell service! 10/10! Site 106! The water views/access is hard to beat as well.

  Rollins Pond Campground

  My favorite

  It’s been years since I’ve stayed at Rollins pond, mostly because of the long drive. (I live 5 hours away) but this year we decided we needed to revisit. We had a waterfront site and we’re absolutely delighted to be able to sit on the beach and watch the sunset, kayak at our leisure, and swim. Water spigots in very close proximity and all bathrooms clean and accessible. Free HOT showers, and all of the neighbors are so quiet it was like being alone when sitting by the fire.

  Wonderful family weekend

  We loved our visit and didn’t feel like we were right on top of other campers . Lots of play areas for kids to play on, lovely beach area, lots of fun activities for the kids. We brought our bikes and were happily surprised to find they had a bike park. Fishing , fire truck rides . We were able to order pizza and burgers and have them delivered right to our campsite with in minutes. My kids said it was the best weekend they have had camping. A very large campground with lots of hidden gems we discovered as we explored riding bikes around . They sell breakfast and lunch on the Saturday while we were there which was very helpful for a large family . Download the app suggested at check in so you can keep up with all the activities through the day

  Rollins Pond Campground

  Secluded and peaceful

  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. Great kayak and canoe access to a whole network of lakes in the St. Regis/Saranac area.

  Jones Pond NYSDEC Primitive Campsites

  Free Primitive Campsites along scenic Pond.

  Jones Pond has five primitive campsites along its northeastern shore accessible by a two track service road. The sites are on a first come basis and are free to use. You can stay a maximum of three nights without a permit. There is a hand launch for small boats/kayaks to access the pond near the entrance. Site #1 is near the entrance and near the road. It is the only site that would be accessible for larger rigs such as an RV. Site #2 is along the water and is accessible by car/suv/truck. Site three sits away from the water and on a hill. It is not accessible by vehicle and you would need to park at the bottom of the hill near site #4 to access it. Site #4 is very large and could be occupied by a large group and multiple vehicles. It is accessible by car/suv/truck. Site #4 is near the water and has a fire ring and access to the water. Site #5 sits the furthest back and is also close to the water and accessible by car/suv/truck. The campsites are perfect for a short stay with a tent or suv camper. The two track access road is rough and all dirt. There are two pit toilets, both primitive, one of which did not have a door when we visited. The views from site #4 of the pond were beautiful. We were the only campers during our stay on a weekday. There are an additional three primitive sites on the northwestern shore but are only accessible by foot.

  Rollins Pond Campground

  Upgraded site

  When we first arrived the site that we reserved was not in great shape. We were able to switch to another site with ease and could not have been happier. We spent 6 days there in September and it was amazing!

  Meacham Lake Adirondack Preserve

  Avoid 188

  Overall, the place was beautiful. Very peaceful, lots of privacy, and we loved it. 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.” It helped but not much.

  Aside from the wetness of the ground it really is a beautiful spot. I’d still camp there but not at 188. Also, the hike in does take some effort, it’s not bad but if you car camp and have pop up or anything heavy it could be difficult for you.

  Great place to unplug

  WE love staying at Rollins Pond in a tent! Our family always meet friendly people and falling asleep to loons is priceless! We always have wildlife at our site. This past trip we had chipmunks, squirrels, ducks, and a crane. The time before, we had a family of loons!

  Great place

  It’s split into 2 sides. The west side is way cooler, less bugs and more views. The east side is RV/camper heaven.

  Higley Flow State Park — Higley Flow

  Peaceful, beautiful wooded private sites

  My husband candy I went for work. Stayed there from Sunday through Thursday’s. First booked a site without electric. YES THEY HAVE 3 loops with electric. While driving there I took a peak online to find that they had one site that had come available with electric. We immediately called and switched our site. It was easy. Enjoyed what little time we where there and would definitely go back again for pleasure.

  Meacham Lake

  Beautiful lakeside offerings

  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! Only downside was the lack of newer showers, but if you're ok with using the old shower building, you'll probably have the place to yourself.

  Buck Pond Campground

  Thumbs up for Buck Pond

  We pulled in on a Sunday afternoon with no reservations. We wanted 2 nights and had no issue getting a site. Campground was fairly quiet although probably 3/4 or more full. I lost my engagement ring in a walking trail and a week later received a call a ranger found it on the heavily trafficked trail! We planned on camping there again and now we will be back even sooner to pick up my ring!

  Jacques Cartier State Park Campground

  Small, quiet and fantastic!

  Jacques Cartier State Park is a model which most parks should follow.  The park is unbelievably well kept.  The sites are large with some located with waterfront (St. Lawrence River).  A boat launch in the park may it easy for boaters.  A beach/swimming area is great for the whole family.  The park offers short and easy trails for hiking.  If you don't mind dry camping, the sites are perfect.  About half the sites have electric and the balance are dry.  We can't wait to go back!
