  • Cell Service at DEC Campgrounds

    I'm curious which state (DEC) campgrounds in the Adirondacks have decent cell service for Spectrum Mobile. Forget their map, it's not 100% reliable. I want to set up some solo, mid-week work-and-play camping/fishing trips, including possibly in late August. And when my wife retires in a few years, she'll gladly join me.

    Up until a few years ago when I changed jobs, I really wasn't a cellphone person, and I pretty much ditch it on weekends or go places where there's no service. But if I do this, I need to be connected at times, mainly for a wi-fi hot-spot. So, I'm curious to hear of others experiences at DEC campgrounds, or even free campsites (for a small RV). I know Lake Harris and Nicks Lake are pretty solid, and heard Eaton and Fish Creek are as well. But I'd like to know about others. Thanks in advance!

    I've camped at Rollins Pond, which is next door to Fish Creek, and the cell service is very sketchy there. I use Verizon and Spectrum also uses Verizon. Lincoln Pond might be good, since it's right next to the Northway (between exits 30 & 31).

      I have stayed at quite a few campsites Middle and Lower Saranac Lakes, all of them with pretty decent cell service, but that might not be helpful because I think they are all boat access only. I can confirm there is at least some cell service at the Eighth Lake Campground, I have never stayed there but do remember having service while portaging through it.
