Rollins Pond Campground

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.

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.

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!

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!

This campground is beautiful, and most of the sites are lakefront. Some sites are more spacious than others, but with the lake views, you can't complain. No hookups, so a bit trickier for rv's, but being right on the water makes it worth it. We loved renting canoes/kayaks and exploring the lake. An ice cream truck and firewood truck make the rounds (ice cream truck may just be on weekends). Did I mention the lake views?!

Not super spread out but was definitely a beautiful spot. Near fish creek. We loved riding bikes, ice cream truck every night. Ice and firewood available. Close store for goods. Kayaking was wonderful. Site 247 was our spot. Loved it and had water access.

My family has been camping at Rollins Pond for years.  With the coronavirus concerns, they have made changes to their cleaning schedules and social distancing rules.  While there this year, my site was right across from one of the bathrooms.  They were there at least twice a day to clean them and they did a great job with keeping the facilities clean, minus the usual bugs and spiders you find in them.

Quiet, clean park. To get to this campground you enter Fish creek park campground. Sites are large, wooded, most on the water. I stayed in the “a” section which is the southern side. Very quiet. No cell service. Saw many dogs. Mine loved our own little beach at the back of our campsite. Perfect for paddleboards, canoes, kayaks (these can also be rented at the boat launch)Bathrooms are so clean! Have already booked a site next summer

get one of the spots right on the lake!

If your looking for a good campground in the Adirondacks, look no further. This place is it ! You hear the word “pond” and you might think of a small body of water however this “pond” is massive. It’s more like a lake. There are many campsites along the water. One in which we had. It was nice splashing around in the water right at our campsite. Even better was watching the sun set over it. 

HIGHLIGHTS:

Beautiful sunsets over the lake

Canoe/Kayak Rentals

NEARBY ATTRACTIONS:

Local convenience store

White Face Mountain which had a lift to take you up the mountain

Several cute, small towns and shops

 Putt-putt Golf

if you want a nice place you can combine all 4 items. Rollins pond is for you. some campgrounds are by the roadway but some are really just bu the water. i highly recommend number 201, ot is pretty much secluded from others and has areally nice natural docking spot to put your kayak or whatever easily next to your tent. this site is pretty large, i am sure you will like it. the restroom could be in better condition but all in all it is definitely a place i wouls go back again

My family and I have stayed at Rollins Pond many times. 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? The site we have stayed at almost exclusively has amentities very close by which is always handy, but you do get quite a bit of traffic nearby as such. While I have really enjoyed Rollins Pond, I would caution going prior to June unless you are prepared for varying weather. I have been up there pitching the tent in a t-shirt one day only to need to throw on a jacket the next day due to rain and even snow. If you are prepared for that though, you'll have an amazing time.

Rollins Pond was the perfect tent-camping campground for our first trip to the Adirondacks. It was generally quiet Memorial Day weekend, and we were able to snag a lakeside site with plenty of trees and space for our tent, SUV, and more. The campground is hilly, so we drove to the nearby showers and garbage. The only drawbacks were the campground’s boathouse doesn’t open until June/July, which was not mentioned on the website, so we weren’t able to rent kayaks to use on the pond. There are no dishwashing sinks at the bathrooms.

Beautiful scenery, plenty of hiking and kayaking right from your campsite, mountain trails a short drive away - all the ingredients for renewal and recharging!

Great sites and access point to nice canoeing waters. Moter boats restricted and sites are very wooded.

Nice clean bathrooms, and showers. sites are far enough apart. rangers always there to help if needed. Great place to camp.

Beautiful park, Clean bathrooms and showers, Very helpful staff

Our extended family goes every year for a long weekend, and it’s often the best weekend of the year for a lot of us. Rollins is well maintained and the views are spectacular. If you bring a canoe (or rent one) you can access a vast network of ponds and streams, if you prefer hiking, there are beautiful and extensive trails to hike on.

camped here more than once, great every time
