Forest Ridge Campground and RV Park

Christopher Perry

Geoff made me feel instantly welcome on the campsite. As a bicycle tourer it was the perfect spot to rest for the night, quiet, calm, clean. I really enjoyed the forest walking trail on site as well. Facilities were great, laundry works perfect. Overall, a really wonderful campsite - highly recommend to be fellow cyclists 🚲🚲

My daughter and I stayed at Forest Ridge Campgrounds for a weekend in August and really enjoyed our time there. The campground was quiet and peaceful, which made it easy to relax. Our site was very good, and everything was well kept. We also found everyone we met to be kind and welcoming, which made the experience even better. The facilities were clean, which we really appreciated. Overall, it was a great place to stay and we’d happily come back again!

We spent the weekend of 8/1-8/3at this beautiful campground. While we are new to camping in an RV, we found this place to exceed any and all of our expectations. The owners were both friendly and helpful as well as engaging. The amenities were plentiful and excellent. Be sure to read their brochure as we only stumbled upon some of the amenities in the final hours of our stay. Our fault of course. We had some serious mechanical issues with our Motorhome that required some significant coordination and assistance from the staff. Not only did they jump to our assistance but exceeded any possible expectations that one would have of a business. We really felt like family (and not the ones that attend family reunions, lol). We could not make any higher recommendations for Forest Ridge Campground. Di and Kev Jacques

This is a rather difficult review to make as it was such a bizarre situation. Upon arriving and going in the office to check in, the owner greeted me nicely enough but immediately started harping about the 5 mile an hour speed limit posted in the campground. I mis-understood at first and thought he was accusing me of going too fast towing my 5th wheel. Anyway, he then pulled out the regulations and went over each one line by line. I found this a bit irritating but let him do his thing. After almost 20 minutes, my wife came in the office to see if there was a problem. I explained that we were "just going over the rules". The owner let us know that there were cameras "everywhere". Security cameras are fine, but I got the feeling these were more to spy on the guests than to deter thieves. As for the campground itself, it is an okay campground but way over-priced for what it is. There is an above ground pool that seemed to be closed nearly the entire time of our 11 day stay. There is a small laundry mat, but since we have our own washer/dryer, we didn't use theirs. It seemed clean enough though. What I did find weird is apparently you need a reservation to use the laundry facility. The pull through site was mostly level consisting of overgrown gravel and dirt. It was also WAY too short for our 5th wheel and truck. We travel with two small dogs (dachshund and min pin). The owner made sure he had my cell phone number incase he had to contact me if our dogs were causing a disturbance. I assurred him our dogs are quiet and are well used to living in our RV. He then said to make sure we don't tie them up outside when we leave the campground!? I told him we would NEVER consider such a thing. He responded with "well, I've seen it all." Prior to staying at Forest Ridge campground, we stayed 14 days at Timberland Acres campground that is about 20 minutes closer to Acadia NP and Bar Harbor. The differences between the two campgrounds are night and day. Timberland has all of the amenities a campground resort could offer including a heated pool and an onsite pub that you could order steamed lobster to go at a rediculously low price! Timberland was vibrant with families enjoying the outdoors and activities, whereas Forest Ridge seemed like a ghost town with a few zombies occasionally creeping by. Just strange. In conclusion, based on my experience, I cannot recommend Forest Ridge campground. We felt like we were being watched at every move. The campground does not have an inviting atmosphere. The sites are adequate at best. They say they are pet friendly, but they are not. Pet tolerant would be a better description. We would have left early, but we would have had to forfeit our entire cost of the stay because of their ABSOLUTELY NO REFUNDS policy. There are just too many other campgrounds in the area to choose from than this one. Happy camping!

I would have given it 1 star, but it was clean and basically exactly as advertised - however, there is NEVER any reason to be rude and condescending towards your guests! As soon as we pulled in we could tell that we were going to be treated as second-class citizens. And that’s exactly what happened. I will say, the seasonal campers we met were very courteous and nice and carried on great conversations with us! I know this review will give them exactly what they want, but if you as the owners allow campers to pay good money to stay at your park, you should at least be gracious and not make your guests feel like they are unwanted. Per your response about watching the kids - we had a straight line of site to the kids in the pool. You kicked them out because you claimed one of the boys jumped out of the pool- to be clear, neither of the boys jumped out of the pool when you kicked them out. Regardless, courtesy is always a nice way to treat people - you should try it.
