Description

Rollins Pond Campground

Rollins Pond should be at the top of your list if you like canoes, rowboats, or kayaks. All are available for rent at the boat launch livery site, and this long, narrow body of water provides the ideal setting for days of fun, as you take turns on all of them. Adventurers can canoe the waterway leading to Fish Creek or try their luck fishing in Whey Pond, adjacent to the livery area and stocked with trout. For landlubbers, there's hiking, bicycling, and picnicking.

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.

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.

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!

Great spot with the family!

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.

separated sites, quiet, clean

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.

Adk paradise

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

I loved this place

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
