Best wifi of an park we have been in. Streaming TV, no problem. Highly recommend. We are in a 42' motorcoach. Easy pull through. Very little road noise. 10 minutes from downtown Bangor (cool city)

Great space for RV and having dogs. Access to dog park was essential for our hunting dogs who need exercise. Bathroom well cleaned. Overall a positive experience only 18min from University of Maine for parents weekend.

Cold River Campground is a quiet and cozy place! The staff are exceptional and were so kind to us during our stay. We rented the 2-bedroom cabin during our stay. It was a nice little place with 2 separate rooms, curtains for doors. The beds are doubles with very soft mattresses. I would say for us personally, that is our only complaint as we prefer a firm mattress (only reason we gave 4 stars for the room). It had a futon seating area and a kitchen table with 4 chairs. Our cabin included a microwave and coffee maker. You do need to bring all of your own linen, supplies, utensils, etc. as those are not provided. This is stated when you book your cabin. The bathhouse was very nice as well. It was only a short walk from our cabin and was very clean and well kept. The toilet stalls and shower stalls were all very clean. Overall, we had a great time during our stay and if we ever return to the area, we will definitely consider staying there again!

We spent 4 nights here the end of August. What a delightful campground! The bath house was clean and well kept. Showers were hot, clean and free! The laundry room/library was a welcome respite from the rigors of camping. Machines were clean and worked well. The sofas were comfortable to wait for your laundry. Included a nice bathroom on site as well. The library was well stocked with some good books. The store carries the best ice cream! It was a quiet and restful stay. We would definitely come back if we're in the area!

Very nice campground very clean and the pool is so nice. They make you feel like family there. We have 2 grandchildren one 6 and one 2 and it just amazed me how everyone watched out for those kids. Those kids met new friends it’s just a very family oriented Campground. It’s a definite we’ll do it again for sure. Try it out you won’t be disappointed

Cold River Campground was very comfortable. The facilities were sparkling clean and the camp hosts friendly and welcoming. The library had a larger collection of books than I’ve seen at any park. Would definitely stay here again!

We had a glamping dome for two nights while we were in town for a concert. It is close enough to downtown Bangor, super duper clean bathrooms, friendly staff… the dome itself was excellent. So cute and it seems they put a lot of care into the details. The pool looked clean and inviting with very cute and comfy chairs, though we did not use it as it was locked and we did not ask for a key (our fault). We would definitely stay here again if we find ourselves in the area. Such a gem!

What a wonderful night! We were greated kindly by those that spend the summers here. The site was clean, somewhat private and the entire property was quiet and gave a great atmosphere. The bathrooms/showers were clean and felt like going into a home. Would highly recommend.

The owners/staff at this campground were wonderful and very accommodating. The playground had two swings and a sandbox with some toys in it for kids to play with, but not much else. The pool was not in working order while we stayed, however, the staff brought an inflatable pool for my kids to play in at our lot. The bathhouse was quite neat and clean. Overall, we had a good experience and I would return.

Kathy and Matt were amazing owners and hosts. We enjoyed our stay. We took advantage of their shuttle service to Bangor Amphitheatre to see a concert. The campground is well maintained. Beautiful pool, game room and store. There was an event while we were there; Christmas in July. Fun for all. The children had a lot of fun..Santa and the Grinch vidited Very friendly fellow campers. We are planning a return trip later this summer.

OMG this campground was so TOTALLY awesome. This place is the bomb...such a safe and comfortable environment. the owners Matt and Kathy were so lovely. They are so attentive to every detail. i thoroughly enjoyed my swim time at the pool and the evening campfires such a wonderful place. Such great locale. The prices are soooo reasonable and affordable. I'm going to return this Spring. Thank you Matt and Kathy. You are both such fine hosts and lovely people!. A PLUS!!!

Campground has a good location and is very clean. Matt (owner) is very nice and helpful. Kerry was also nice and pleasant and willing to answer any questions about the area. Did not really have time to use the facilities but the comfort station was very clean and our cabin (C2) was very nice. We wish Matt a lot of luck with Cold River in the years ahead.

Called and the guy worked with me on a site. We stayed 5 nights in a bus. The space was a little short but we made it work. We were right by the bathrooms and showers, which was great. Their bathrooms and showers were very nice and clean. Best ones we had on our entire trip. Pricing was very reasonable. Laundry was very nice. Had a library full of books and movies. In fact my sister in law and I watched a movie while we done laundry. Best laundry I’ve ever been in on my travels. The guy who worked there stopped by a couple times to see if everything was still okay. There was a lot of long timers, but it was very quiet. I guess if I had to say anything negative it would be the sites are a little close to each other. But would definitely stay there again.

This is a nice little well maintained campground. It was extremely quiet which worked well for our purposes. The bathrooms were impeccably clean and comfortable. The showers hot and free. The campsites were mostly partially shaded, level and average in size. The best sites were for seasonal as is typical, but all sites seems easy to access. This is not a resort type destination campground but a good home base for exploring the area. My only complaint is that the office/store was closed the first two days we were there and the pool was locked the entire time with no explanation so there was little to do while there. Overall I recommend Cold River Campground as long as you have plans outside of being at the campground.
