Very nice CG and very nice people in the office. A gentleman from the office led us out to our site. He decided that another site would allow us to turn a corner more easily, so he moved us to an adjoining site. Great store. Bathrooms very clean. Showers were separate from the bathrooms, and they were also very clean. The pool was great – very clean and lots of umbrellas for shade. Nice laundry room. Dog park, playground. Cabins, a few tenting sites and mostly big rigs. Strong WIFI! Campers friendly and very quiet. We enjoyed it and would recommend.

This is a wonderful little campground, the cabin was clean and stocked with essentials. The campground was clean and well maintained. We needed a central location to be able to visit both Moosehead Lake in the North and Acadia in the South and this was perfect!!

Despite being just off a major road, you can absolutely disappear into a little slice of the wilderness at this camp or enjoy the creature comforts of a warm and comfortable community hub. It was a treat to enjoy memorial day weekend here with our pups in a spacious, cozy cabin. Was enough to make us converts to the KoA and sign up for a membership; hopefully we'll be back sooner than later. (:
