It's hard to beat Round Valley for fishing or camping. The sites are nicely spaced, not on top of one another like so many public campsites. It is probably too late to book a water site for the holiday weekend, but walk in sites are probably available. But who knows. You might find a cancellation on a water site. Hike in or boat in to the sites. No automobile access.

Some of the campsites in Stokes campground are along the Flatbrook and there is a lake too.

If you don't mind a longer drive, the Adirondacks are full of great waterside campgrounds and sites. State campgrounds such as Lake Eton, Eighth Lake, Cranberry Lake, Forked Lake, Rollins Pond are on the water if you don't mind that kind of camping.

There are also thousands of backcountry boat to (or paddle to in the wilderness areas) campsites that reqire no reservations. Little Tupper, Lows Lake, Bog River, Hitchens Pond, Round Lake, Lake Lila, Stillwater Reservoir, Eigth Lake, Lower Saranac are just a sampling.

At the state campgrounds all of the best water sites are probably already booked for the holiday weekend by now, but the backcountry sites are all first come first served and I've never seen them close to being filled even on he busiest weekends
