Maidstone

Love this place. A ton of the campsites are directly on the lake, perfect for taking a dip and not even having to leave your campsite. Bathrooms are spacious and clean. The newly renovated bathroom is epic. Lovely clean showers with hot water. The lake is gorgeous and you can rent canoes and such for water activities. We stayed in site T41 which was large. Unfortunately the website didn't mention that the site itself is up 4 large steps, so we had to lug our gear up those to set up camp. Bad backs beware!

Maidstone Lake is reputed to be beautiful & that would seem accurate based on our brief glimpses. Most of the lake is surrounded by private property, except the State Park. I had done my research before our visit and read that dogs are allowed only on trails in Maidstone. We didn't know where to find the trails, so went to the only employee available: the person who runs the registration for camping. There was a bell on the desk outside the window/screen with a sign that said "Ring bell". It seemed rude to ring the bell when the person was a few inches away so I simply said "hi". The man said "did you ring the bell?" So I dutifully rang the bell and he said "okay then". I asked whether we could take our dog somewhere in the park and he said no dogs are not allowed on the beach or in the day use areas. I told him I had read that dogs were allowed on the trails. He replied "you didn't TELL me you wanted to go on a trail" and then reluctantly pulled a trail map out to show me where we could hike. I told him never mind we would prefer to go somewhere friendly to both dogs and people. He was the biggest a****** I have encountered recently, even by New England standards.
