We had a wonderful stay this past weekend. Our son and his 2 friends stayed in a cabin and loved it. Our campsite was great. Love the 2 beaches. Never got around to hiking as we were having so much fun on the river! Booked again for next year. My only mention is that you cannot expect anything from the camp store. Luckily, a grocery store less than 2 miles away.

We just returned from a three day family camping trip in tents. We were a group of 9 with 4 kids and some grandparents. We had the best time. The campground—sites, beaches, bathrooms-were all so clean and well kept. The quiet hours were respected and it was very peaceful. There were some great activities including an ice cream social and movie night. We took advantage of the canoes and the kids had a blast. We had such a great time we’re already planning a trip for next year. It exceeded my expectations! Thank you to all the employees who make this place great!

The staff was very friendly and accommodating. I needed a site with less sun and more shade and they switched our site without a problem. Campsites and bathrooms were clean and well maintained. Campground was quiet and peaceful during quiet hours. Pets are allowed so that's a plus that I can bring my dog next time. Decent amount of activities. Nestled right at the Saco River. Would definitely recommend and return again.

Enjoyed camping here. They have large pull through sites with electric and water facility. Our site stated water front but it wasn’t. But still not disappointed, site is clean and clear without gravel. Bath house is well maintained.

These reviews where people have extremely high expectations of a CAMPground and complaining there’s no cable etc, are no reflection of what this place actually is. It’s a beautiful place to stay, right on the Saco river. It has a little store with everything you’d need, spacey showers, sinks, a playground it’s honestly the full package. All the workers I talked to were extremely personable and kind. If you’re upset over not being able to watch tv… book a hotel next time. Personally I can’t wait to come back this summer!!!!!!!

I've camped her twice before and have just book our reservation to return. Last year there was 31 in our group not sure about this year's # a few new people joining us. The camp is under new management last year and there was a notable difference with staff all very helpful, diverting the rain water away for our tents if needed. Situated along side the river, bring your own tubes and kayaks or rent them at the campground (so convenient). We are tent campers, sites are roomy, so two tents per site works well, not a lot of trees for hammock or assistance in hanging a tarp. Showers are 25 cents, 5 minutes shower so work quick and get the soap out of your hears first. Showers and bathrooms are separated and old needing some TLC. Would be nice to have outside showers, they have no handicap accusable shower. The map shows there is plans for another bathroom, a 2nd bathhouse would be great. This is a basic campground, no frills like those resort camps with pools and organized activities. You make your own fun here, the river is clean, plenty of hiking in the area, not to far from town for night out or shopping.

Very clean and quiet campground. It is located on the edge of the Saco River with plenty of activities to enjoy. Campsites had water, power,etc. and ours was located between the trees. It was lovely. We will be back next year.

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!
