May daughter and I just went for 2 nights tent camping and it was GREAT! We stayed Sunday & Monday night so there was open space. Our first assigned lot was a little tight and surrounded by RV campers. As a tent camper we felt like we would have been in the middle of their set up so we asked if we could select another one and they were happy to accommodate us. We were lucky that there was nobody next to us otherwise I can see how some reviewers said that the sites were not private. We hung a clothes line for our towels and that helped with the privacy issue on one side of us. It would certainly help if the owners hung clothes lines already so people would hang towels and solve that issue - not everyone thinks about bringing rope. The location is perfect on the Saco River and it was really relaxing to float in the river so close to our camp site. The campground is quiet and wooded and you don't feel like you are in an open field with a theme park surrounding you! It's definitely more authentic. We checked out one of the neighboring sites not far away....no way! Too commercialized. It's worth noting that the campground is under new ownership so the old reviews of the owner screaming at you is no longer! I did suggest that the new owners add something to the shower/restroom area that allows for people to brush their teeth, blow dry their hair, and women to get ready so you aren't squeezed into a two sink bathroom. If they add that then, honestly, they have everything you need to enjoy a camping trip! I didn't give it a 5 only because of the close sites with no trees between you - but we would go back in a heartbeat! Thanks for a great get-a-way!
