Papoose Pond Family Campground and Cabins

Ryan Timberlake

Papoose Pond will always be one of our favorites campgrounds in Maine! There are so many options to stay, from really nice lakeside cabins to more rustic little lodges to plenty of campsites with all the amenities want to barebones ones as well. They offer a ton of daily activities for kids in the summer along with tons of things to do in the campground. The cafe offers a lot of good food options as well as ice cream! With downtown Norway less than 20 minutes away you can get whatever else you need pretty easily. Papoose Pond is like a second home to my family and we recommend it to everyone.

Campground has many things to do for all ages. The staff were all responsive. There were some very disrespectful teens making alot of noise and using loud obscenities 2 out of the 10 nights. While security did respond immediately they were unable to do much. I would recommend, but just be cautious if you are looking for 100% quiet "family time."

We were a little skeptical on why the prices were so high but we completely understood once we arrived. The view from our campsite of the pond was amazing. They have a full store with all the essentials. Full cafe with ice cream also. Great place to take kids as it’s mostly family’s and they have events for kids all day long. The sites, like other reviews say, are a little close but everyone that camps there is super friendly and respects the quiet time. The bathrooms def need a makeover but I won’t hold it against them!

My family and I had a great time! We had a waterfront site, which was beautiful. The kids loved all of the activities available to them. Our family will definitely plan another trip there again.

Great camp ground but they don’t post rates they change I guess? We paid 80$ a night for a site with electric and water the bathrooms/showers were old and outdated for the price we paid. Lots of activities for the kids (some at an extra fee) but overall great. Would be 5 stars easy if the bathrooms weren’t ancient and gross and small. Rec hall was super awesome site we had was giant wooded private HB 19. Will come again

I love this place though last summer it was filled with bee's and we had to leave a day earlier because our tents got flooded in the heavy rain but there is much to do nice people to meet and great family adventures l will be returning for a 3rd year hopefully at my same spot.

Escape to the Maine woods... rough it in tents, in cabin comfort, or a full amenity shore side condo. Welcoming and friendly staff. A safe environment for the kids to explore with friends and build their independence. Nestled among idyllic pine groves, imagine Stand By Me meets Wonder Years in the Poconos from Dirty Dancing. Saddest part is the day we leave.

Lots to do and eat. Great staff and great accommodations!

Fantastic family campground, literally our favorite in Maine and we look forward to our yearly week long trip! Tons of "real" activities that kids actually want to play, organized and run by energetic employees! The beach is wonderful, long, sandy and clean. Nightly activities include a hilarious juggler, high energy DJ, karaoke, beach parties, and movies; something for everyone. I only have two negatives: first; dumpsters lack lids so the park has a very high amount of black flies and yellow jackets. Second; the make your own sundaes was messy and unhygienic (even if there wasn't a pandemic). Don't let either of those things stop you from visiting Papoose!

Just started going with my gf and her family every year. Let me just say it is a great place. Very friendly people, plenty of activities for the kids if you have any, and I mean plenty. Also great beaches on the pond that are kept up nice. Reasonable prices also and beautiful area full of nature if you're trying to escape the city like me.
