We paid cash for two nights. The next morning we were told the water was disconnected due to the end of the season. $70/night for what? Parking? Their solution was for us drive to a truck stop to cycle our water. We did, only to find out neither truck stop on the exit has a functioning dump station. The owner should have told us before we paid for 2 nights. We were disappointed.

We camped here for one night traveling from the south to Acadia National Park. It was a very family friendly and welcoming campground, with a great location near the interstate. Our primitive tent site was a distance from the clean bath house but not too far to walk. The site was huge and peaceful. Would definitely stay here again. I did find out the only way to get a reservation is to call and send a check but I do not blame them for keeping it low tech. Just know that you should call and talk to them to make your reservation.

Nice campground with great views. Clean facilities. Nice sandy beach. We normally camp near the ocean, the water here was surprisingly clean. Boys used the canoes and kayaks all day long. Fished in between. Would definitely come back.

This place is hard to navigate, but the tent site was flat and there was a portapotty directly across (thank goodness, I never did find the bath house). We arrived separately, and my traveling companion arrived to get a map they charged him again! I had already paid for our 2 adults. It was loud, but things quieted down at a reasonable hour. A bit pricey (especially since we paid twice) for what we got. Cash only- and hard to make a reservation.

We camped for one night here on our way from ME to Alabama. This is a great camp with woods and pond. Lot was level and plenty long enough. Has a family feel to it. Staff was great. The only downsides are you have to pay cash and no sewage. I would recommend this campground. We were able to reserve without paying upfront. It was very quiet and peaceful.
