My husband and I stayed at site 68. I do not recommend this site because on the edge of the site are three portapotties. Our fire pit was facing it and the picnic table. We could only park the camper one way so we couldn’t avoid the constant smell of it. It was overwhelming. To make things worse poison ivy surround the site!! I think this campground is cute and very kid friendly but I will never stay at that site again. Usually I would spend time in my hammock but that just wasn’t possible. Please inform guests of where the portapotties are and where there is poison ivy.

We are currently on a tent site that is so sloped that we cannot fit our tent on it and we are sleeping in the back of our Subaru Outback for the entirety of our stay. The sites are too close together and the restrooms are too far apart which is difficult to accommodate my upcoming hip replacement surgery when we return home. IMHO, the decorations and planned activities give the whole experience a rather cheap feel.

We rented a bunkhouse for the weekend. Pricing was decent, however, the bunkhouse was quite disgusting. I understand it's a campground and bugs are a given, but the amount of webs and dead bugs was extremely unpleasant. The doormat was matted with hair and fur. The beds were filled with dirt, food from the previous visitors and we found mouse droppings on 2 of the bunks. The rickety door came with a screen that was torn to the point that the hook lock inside made no sense because anyone could have gotten in by reaching their hand through the screen to unlock it. The ladies at the shop were very sweet. Despite the overwhelming amount of people and crowding, the overall vibe of this place is lovely, but I'm not sure I would return given the price of the bunkhouse in comparison to the cleanliness of it.

Family owned. Such a private feeling when you get to the campground. Most of the sites are in the woods and are nice and shaded. I think the full hookup sites are more out in the field but the area is so pretty. You’re right on the water and they have a small boat dock, small beach, and kayak rentals. Some of the sites are tricky to get in, but you can make it work. If not, they’ll find a spot that works for you. Very friendly staff. Playground, huge community fire pit, camp store, dump station, events on the weekends. Our site had the water on the wrong side but they said they’re working on fixing that. It worked out regardless. I’m surprised there wasn’t another dumpster in the area. It’s kind of a trek, but makes for a nice walk. Very laid-back campground. If we lived closer I would consider getting a seasonal spot here. I got Nelson Ledges Quarry vibes ♥️

We have mostly raised our family (5 children) & camped both tent, trailer & RV considerable Amount all over the west and east coast. This is such a magical place for upscale amenities meets rustic and old fashioned fun- I would HAPPILY pay the $70/night cost to enjoy the beauty, peace, whimsy of this incredible campground! Massive bonfires, beautiful & well kept facility, on site mercantile/convenience store, a plethora of activities both on & off water for the whole family! Best I’ve seen ever. For the birders out there- I heard 18 different birds in 30 min, before starting my bird app I also heard/saw Canadian geese and seagull.

My partner and I took a road trip to Maine and after a series of crazy events found ourselves without a safe place to sleep at 11:30 PM with all local motels/hotels/campsites either closed or fully booked. As a Hail Mary, we called this campsite and the owner, Paul, picked up and gave us a safe, beautiful place to sleep for the night. He was very accommodating, kind, and understanding, and offered to let us stay the night free of charge. So, not only is this spot run by genuinely good, kind hearted people, but the location is also beautiful, clean, and inviting. We spent the night looking out over the lake and listening to loon calls. Next time we come to Maine, we plan to stay here!!!

The campground is beautiful as are the watersides rv/tent spots. It is on the pricey side ($70 per night on the water for an

I love it here but I would rather pay more nightly then $4 for chocolate milk, $40 for pj bottoms etc, also when I went to buy slush I was able to put $4 on my debit card however when my husband went to use his debit card another women told him $10 minimum, one particular taller skinny older women in the store needs an attitude adjustment, why work here if you want to be miserable the whole time, giving attitude to kids etc at the store,also non refundable cancellations seems a little much but then on top of it when you reschedule even if it’s the same site non holiday you get charged a $25 fee plus tax, I don’t agree with this because if I reschedule the trip for the same site and season on a non holiday I shouldn't get a fee however if I was going on a non holiday and switched to a holiday I get the extra charge, overall we love it but as I said the reschedule fee is nuts as is the price of items in the store

I stayed here, with my 79-year-old mother, for two nights. We loved it! We stayed in a bunk house. It had electricity, which was needed for a CPAP machine. All the campsites at that end of the campground are pleasantly big. There are some r.v. sites as you enter the campground that are very close together, but the rest of the campground is nice. The lake is beautiful and we heard loons frequently.

We had a less than perfect experience and the owners were quick and very generous in “fixing it.” Customer service is clearly their jam. Though the campground is not really my cup of tea (very packed in with little to no privacy, lots of larger “party vibe” groups, golf carts everywhere) I can see why so many people like it. There’s a ton to do, facilities were clean, the lake is beautiful, and the owners are clearly great people. I might give it another go, not in Aug 😉.

My Wife and I had duck puddle as our weekend venue for our wedding Paul and Meredith tended to our every need/want with no questions asked. They made sure things went smoothly. Everything from the shuttling people from the lake to the barn, making sure we had a fire, to need like an iron or getting the cupcakes read to go the day of the wedding. They even set up chairs and tables. They and the rest of the duck puddle crew were great. Thank you for making our weekend run smoothly!

This place is awesome. Meredith and Paul made our daughters wedding an occasion we will never forget. Their facility is just beautiful and the barn was amazing. They made us feel like family the whole time we were there and were always available to assist us in anything we needed. We have only known them for a week but felt like we are part of their family. We can never thank you enough. We hope to see you again soon. Thank you Dana Blondin & Family, Alex & Megan

Paul and staff were very welcoming. Online registering was easy. Their local knowledge was extensive and they were very helpful with our request for an extended checkout providing a site for us to drop our trailer while exactly lording the oyster trail.

Campsites very close with very little privacy and in the sun majority of the afternoon. Showers are coin operated with no warning in advance. 1 quarter= 6 minutes of hot water. After paying $35/night for the tiny site, hot water should 100% be included. On top of that the showers were really really dirty and could definitely use a deep clean. The small beach area works well for a quick dip to cool off. This campground appears to be a 1-2 day quick camping trip. Longer stays would be better elsewhere.

My friends and I had a great time this weekend at Duck Puddle. It’s a family-oriented campsite and although we are all in our 30s and no kids we felt we fit in just fine. Great swimming (and skinny dipping!) and fantastic amenities.
