BROWN TRACT POND CAMPGROUND Campground - 88 Sites, Maps & Photos

Tucked away in seclusion a short way off the main tourist route, this jewel of a campground remains one of the best kept secrets in the Adirondacks. The remote Adirondack setting of this facility offers a relaxing, quiet beauty all its own. The campsites offer privacy; they are large and well-forested.

Location: Brown Tract Pond Campground is located on the east shore of 146-acre Brown Tract Pond. Development of this campground commenced in 1957 and was completed in 1958.
