The service was horrible prior to going ... Sent a request to stay and heard nothing from them until I called them three months later. However, once there the lady running the office was very personable. However, the office closed at 8:30pm which was inconvenient. The campground was beautiful, the sites were great. The views of the sound was beautiful.... More

I recently camped here for 3 nights. It was ok. I submitted the email request for a site and specifically asked for a private walk in site. During a phone conversation I again spoke of a walk in site and that the site should be private. The site I recieved was in very close proximity of several other campers. I... More

Stayed here last summer, had a good stay. Nice place to go, and Acadia national park was amazing.

After reading some of the reviews I thought about booking our 4 day stay elsewhere, but decided to go for it. Amazing views at this campground. We stayed at the Anchor site which thanks to another review I went with. By far the best/biggest/most secluded site on the property with one of the best views. Bath houses were very clean,... More

Had a platform site near the bathhouse which was close for convienience but wasn't great for privacy. In the shower I was able to shampoo & condition my long hair, plus take care of everything else nessasary with just one token but my husband wished it had lasted slightly longer. Our visit was unfortunatley short but we hope to come... More

We had to drive into someones site in order to park the RV in our site. The map was very deciving. It made the sites... More

We stayed here ten years ago and absolutely loved it. Back then, there were no frills (no pool, no playground, the quarry was off limits), but those aren't the reasons we go camping. The campground itself is clean, but the sites are closer together than we remembered, possibly to pay for the obnoxiously huge house [the owners] have built in... More

We were scared to stay here. We booked the place and then read the reviews on trip advisor and were scared about facing the lady in charge of the place. However, she was extremely nice and very helpful. We stayed in one of the cabins...it was basically an oversize icehouse. It had bunk beds. The bunk beds were not traditional... More

We have been coming here for a number of years and there have been many improvements made over the years. New pool, new bathhouse, roads upgraded. Pros: Great location. Quiet. Nice tent sites ( some platforms but make sure your tent can sit on a platform). Nice views. Great waterfront tent sites. Cons: Expensive showers ($1.00 for four real minutes... More
