A really woodsy campground, sites spacious and spread out for privacy, beautiful forest & lake location, nice camp store, close to Rangely Lake State Park, and comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay here.

We go here camping every year for a week. Absolutely a beautiful campground. Very Dog friendly, they need to be on a leash at all times, they can go swimming from the beach, its also beautiful for kyacing, boating, canoeing, swimming, fishing. Recommended highly.

I have camped here a few times, at both the main campground as well as the wilderness camping area. This is an excellent area for camping and fishing. Heather, Randy and Meg do an excellent jog of running the campground and camp store. Although I missed out on Heather's world famous chocolate chip cookies on this trip, I expect I will return to this area again!
Heather Farley
if i could i would rate this place 0 stars. it is an incredibly beautiful area of maine ruined by rude staff. they accused me of speeding around the campground at 20mph which i was not to which they told me my speedometer must be broken, which is not only false but also disrespectful. this encounter alone was enough to make me leave a day early. they also accused my sister of not being of age to buy alcohol and were sarcastic when she corrected them that she in fact is of age. heather and randy are incredibly rude and unprofessional, i would recommend camping elsewhere

What a great campground. Clean bathrooms and facilities, spacious level sites, quiet atmosphere. Listened to the loons and the water splashing against the lake shore. Staff was very helpful with a little camper problem we had.
