We recently made the decision to move to Moosehead Trails Campground as a seasonal camper, and I couldn't be happier with my choice! This campground is an absolute gem, providing a clean and inviting environment that feels like a home away from home. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by friendly faces and a warm atmosphere. The sense of community here is truly remarkable, and every guest seems to share the same pleasant disposition. One of the highlights of our stay has been the access to the ATV trails, which we absolutely love. It’s the perfect way to explore the beautiful surroundings! The manager deserves special mention for her exceptional hospitality. She regularly checks in on everyone, ensuring that we are all enjoying our stay and comfortable. Her accommodating nature, especially when it comes to store requests, adds an extra layer of convenience and comfort to our experience. Overall, Moosehead Trails Campground has exceeded our expectations, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a fantastic seasonal camping experience. We're thrilled to be here and can't wait for many more memories to come!

Never calls back when they say they will. Been at it three days now. They will not call back but say they will. And I’m trying to make a reservation in September! Ridiculous. Never going to this place again.

I have been camping here for a few years now, I have to say I really like this place, the manager tries to accommodate everyone with their needs. I love that the pool, the playground, the store, and the laundry room is very convenient and close by. This campground is close to in town conveniences. I have found the bathrooms are clean, and stocked. If you want something special to drink, Lisa tries to get it in the store. The atv trail is so close you can drive right out of the park, if you have a boat you can walk out to it. I love this place, so Lisa and Rich please keep up the great work. Plus: you can meet great people and make new friends

I have been camping here for the last few years and I absolutely love this place. Lisa and Rich that manage the campground do a phenomenal job making a safe and fun environment for my family to enjoy the summer months! The pool is always incredibly clean, live music on the weekends and the best neighbors anyone could ask for!
