DEC Announces Campsite Renumbering for 2026 Camping Season at Fish Creek Pond Campground in Adirondacks

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) today announced that Fish Creek Pond Campground located in Saranac Lake in the Adirondacks will undergo adjustments to campsite numbers for the upcoming season following the completion of the current camping season. In addition, DEC is improving campsites throughout the facility and adding new, larger 'Family Site' options.

The renumbering will correct the non-sequential campsite numbers in the facility and make navigating the campground easier for visitors. New Family Sites will accommodate additional people, more vehicles, and more equipment quantities than typical campsites.

Camping reservation for the 2026 season will be on hold until approximately December to allow for site renumbering. Once complete, DEC will post advanced notification and a "go-live" date for reservations for the public.

DEC operates 51 campgrounds and four day-use areas in the Adirondack and Catskill Forest Preserve. The summer camping season begins in mid-May and runs through summer, with some facilities remaining open during fall foliage and hunting season.
