Great setting. We were there by ourselves, so very quiet place to view the sky. The hookups were 50A only, no 30A connection, so we just used a conversion to 20A.

Several RV parks surround Parishville, New York, offering varied options for motorhome travelers. Pine Ridge Park Campsite in Constable operates from May 15 to October with full hookup sites including 30-amp service, accommodating larger rigs on spacious, level sites. Riverside Campground in Brasher Falls provides big-rig friendly sites with both 30 and 50-amp electrical connections from May through September. Higley Flow State Park Campground, located in Colton, features electric sites with 30/50-amp service and operates seasonally from May 20 to September 4. Sites are equipped with picnic tables and fire rings, with most parks offering paved or gravel pads. One RVer noted, "We have a rather large rig (36 ft fifth wheel plus the truck) and we fit perfectly at our site."
Seasonal availability is limited primarily to the warmer months, with most RV parks closing by mid-October. Cell service varies throughout the region, with stronger signals near larger towns and potential dead zones in more remote locations. Dump stations are available at all the major RV campgrounds, though Pine Ridge and Riverside offer the convenience of full sewer hookups at individual sites. Pet-friendly policies are standard across most parks, though leash requirements are strictly enforced. Propane refill services can be found at nearby general stores, particularly in Fort Covington and Brasher Falls. During peak summer weekends and fall foliage season, advance reservations are essential as the limited number of RV sites fill quickly. Many campgrounds maintain three-lane dump stations to minimize waiting times during busy checkout periods.

Basic hook ups with grass cover sites next to a road that had some traffic but didn’t disturb us at night. A good price comparatively.

Pleasant Stay
Large campground. Sites are open, grassy and right on top of each other. We chose a site at the end of the road with no other campers so we had plenty of privacy. Had the park been full, it would not have been appealing to us. There were lots of RV’s on the water front side. Bathrooms were clean and the new main pavilion had newer bathrooms and showers. Worth the extra walk to use that shower.

MJ W.GuideFish Creek Pond Campground
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.

exactly as described
This is a mostly dirt camper parking lot with full hook-ups next to the fire station. There is no shade for sites 1-13 and little shade for the rest. The The hook-ups were fine, although our sewer connection was slightly uphill. There are NO amenities. As this campground is run by volunteers, communication is SLOW. You must be patient. The location is excellent, just a mile from Main Street. The price is great for full hook-ups in the area. The other campers and the firefighters were friendly. It was quiet at night. We slept with windows open without a problem. The rail trail adjacent to and easy to access from the campground and there is a bike shop across the street.

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.

Family Friendly with Thoughtful Sites
I've stayed here twice, once in 2024 and again in 2026, both on Memorial Day Weekend. In 2024 I woke to the sound of loons but did not hear them in 2026.
This is a large campground on the shores of Cranberry Lake with access to many hiking trails and other activities. Quite a few of the sites are lakefront but they seem to book up fast. Most of the sites are spaced out fairly well although a few are close and will result in you seeing & hearing everything your neighbors are doing. However, they are mostly designed well and blend into the environment. A few seem like afterthoughts and are right on the road, so you'll want to choose carefully.
Dumpsters are in the center of the campground near the bathhouse, which has hot showers. There is a sandy beach area near the entrance of the campground and a volleyball area near the dumpsters/bathhouse.
It's a beautiful area and is mostly quiet. Other campers were respectful and didn't play loud music although a few talked loudly late into the night. There are lots of trailer camping sites, so you should expect to hear generators although most people were considerate and only ran them in the daytime.
This is a great campground for exploring the Adirondack Mountains. The town of Cranberry Lake seems mostly dead so don't plan on eating in restaurants nearby.

Camping at Cranberry Lake
This has been one of my favorite campgrounds and I have camped there many times over the last several decades. Always well maintained, but peaceful state forest campground with spacious sites, many right on the water. There is an official beach, but the water sites really have their own access for canoes and nice swimming. The water is crystal clear, sunsets magnificent, canoeing and hiking opportunities abound, and even on a "busy" summer weekend the campground is quiet and the fellow campers are low key and respectful. For a tent camper, this is an ideal location and I love it. Fire ring, even tenting spot, picnic tables, etc. There are numerous accessible campsites, a shower building, and regular restrooms as well as privvies. Small trailers can fit and their is an RV dumpstation, but this is not a campground for big rigs and hookups. The campground is a little off the beaten path and in the further reaches of the Adirondacks for most campers, and the vicinity is one of the largest and most pristine areas in the ADK wilderness. Come well supplied with groceries and camping needs as there isnt much nearby. The SUNY Forestry school maintains a Ranger school at nearby Wanakena on the west side of the lake, and a Field Biology station on the south side of the lake. Nice hiking in the area
Guide to Parishville
Camping options near Parishville, New York range across the Adirondack foothills, where elevations average 1,200-1,500 feet above sea level. Summer temperatures typically reach 75-85°F during the day and drop to 50-60°F at night, creating comfortable camping conditions. The region experiences significant seasonal variation with most campgrounds operating from mid-May through early October due to harsh winter conditions.
What to do
Fishing on local waters: Eel Weir State Park Campground provides excellent fishing access along the Oswegatchie River. "There's little undergrowth between sites for privacy but spacious sites makes up for it. We found a site on the edge for good privacy," notes Daniel L. The park maintains grass sites with ample shade trees and several sites directly on the riverfront.
Beach and swimming access: Jacques Cartier State Park Campground offers a guarded beach area perfect for families. "Swimming hole was nice and relaxing. Plenty of sand for the kids to play in and the water was warmer than expected," reports Joseph B. The park includes a newer playground adjacent to the beach area and waterfront camping sites.
Kayaking and paddleboarding: The waterways near campgrounds provide numerous paddling opportunities. "Everyone swims, kayaks, and paddle boards off their sites," explains Alycia M. about Jacques Cartier. Water levels can fluctuate 2-3 feet from day to day on some waterways due to dam operations and hydroelectric power management.
What campers like
Privacy between sites: Meacham Lake Campground offers significant separation between campsites, especially on its west side. "Very peaceful, lots of privacy, and we loved it," says The Other Kim K. The campground features two distinct areas—the east side caters to RVs while the west side offers more secluded tent sites with platforms.
Clean facilities: Most campgrounds maintain their amenities well. "The park is unbelievably well kept. The sites are large with some located with waterfront," notes Scott F. about Jacques Cartier State Park. Many campers appreciate the regular trash collection service, with pickup directly from roadside containers.
Natural surroundings: The region offers abundant wildlife viewing opportunities. "You can hear the clip clip of horses from the Amish buggys on the road across the river," mentions Daniel L. at Eel Weir. Another camper notes, "Favorite thing is the family of owls that inhabit the trees that you see every night."
What you should know
Cell service limitations: Mobile connectivity varies significantly across the region. "There is no cell or internet there," warns Debbie T. about Meacham Lake Campground. Service tends to deteriorate quickly as you move away from main roads and towns.
Seasonal booking patterns: Cranberry Lake Campground fills quickly during peak season. "During the main season, this place is busy! You'll definitely need to plan ahead and make reservations if you plan to be here during the crazy season," advises Shari G. Fall foliage weekends see particularly high demand.
Terrain considerations: Site conditions vary significantly. "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 camper at Meacham Lake about site 188. Request specific site information when booking, especially after heavy rainfall periods.
Tips for camping with families
Activity programming: Pine Ridge Park Campsite offers extensive children's activities. "The whole time they are open they have activities planned for the kids all summer long," notes Kyle I. The campground hosts themed events throughout the season, including end-of-school celebrations and tailgate parties.
Swimming options: Water quality and temperature can vary between locations. "The beach front area is great for families!" shares Alison B. about Cranberry Lake. Most swimming areas lack lifeguards except for state park beaches with designated swimming zones.
Playground access: Several campgrounds feature play equipment for children. "Great playground for the kids, hiking trails and more," mentions Jennifer I. about Higley Flow State Park. Many family-friendly sites also include volleyball courts and open play areas.
Tips from RVers
Site dimensions: Riverside Campground in Brasher Falls accommodates larger rigs. "Very nice campground. Beautiful river views. Very nice staff," notes Scott. The campground underwent recent renovations including "New bathrooms and laundry center," according to Steven F.

Hookup specifics: Electrical service ranges from 30 to 50-amp connections. "Mostly RV sites with full hook-ups and a few cabins nice facilities," reports Micah B. about Riverside. While many campgrounds offer water and electric, not all provide full sewer connections at individual sites.
