We stayed here for 3 nights. Although it's close to the airport, the noise really wasn't that bad at all. Shower room was just ok, but the water was nice and warm so that evens it all out. Overall it was peaceful and we appreciated having a decent place to rest. We used our lot as our base camp as we traveled through out the days.

This is our second stay at Paul Bunyan. We love it. Great amenities. Campsites are level and not stack on top of each other. Staff is friendly and accommodating. Also close to our grandchildren! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 We will be back.

Firstly, this campground can be loud. There's an airport close by where planes take off frequently. This wasn't a problem for me, but im a heavy sleeper. That being said, this campground was wonderful. Clean, offered activities, communicated well. We spent four nights with tents and had a great time. Will definitely be returning to this location if we decide to take another Maine vacation.

Very nice camp ground. It was neat seeing all the aircrafts fly by. Clean place that is well maintained. My son and I will return. Nice finding a relaxing campground that actually has a quiet evening. Prices are VERY reasonable.

My family and I stayed at this campground for a week in July. Beautiful well kept campground at a great value. Very friendly and helpful staff. The pool was the cleanest I’ve ever been in. Very nice, shaded, mostly level sites for travel trailers/RV’s. New picnic tables and nice fire rings. Well manicured campground with events for kids and adults. We definitely plan on returning next year! Highly recommend.

It is a nice place . We were happy they made room for us . The price I thought was reasonable. The office is open from 9-5 during the week . There is a laundry with two washers and dryers. They have a restroom with two showers. My husband wished that the shower had more room to put clothes and to be able to hang up bathing supplies. You can buy ice and firewood. The camp sites have picnic tables and fire pits . There are two playgrounds and a swimming pool. There is a pond but you cannot swim in it . The rv park is fairly big with plenty of sites . They have full hook ups and tent camping. The staff was friendly and helpful. It is a nice place to stay . I would definitely recommend this rv park . Rooms =camp sites are very quiet and you are surrounded by trees. We enjoyed our time there.

Was going to enjoy a few days of tent camping, paid for a full week. It rained the first night and all day the second day with 2 additional days of rain in forecast. So I decided to checkout after two days and they still charge me for the full 7 days. People who take advantage like that can't be trusted. Sad that a grown man will take money they did not earn. Shady business.

We spent four nights here over the 4th of July weekend and had a great time! It's a nice, quiet family campground. Quite a few came in Friday for the concert in town, but even then noise wasn't an issue. Other reviewers listed noise of the nearby airport as a problem, but it didn't bother us at all. If anything, we enjoyed watching the airplanes come and go. Our boys spent a lot of time at the new basketball court and pool. We were also pleasantly surprised by all of the open grassy areas. We all decided that we'll definitely return!

We decided to try this place as our regular campground was already booked solid and it was a last minute trip. I believe everything happens for a reason and this is now and will always be going forward our "new regular campground!" Super large property very well maintained - lots to do for the whole family. We took a hay ride that evening around the park and enjoyed a delicious complementary pancake breakfast in the morning. The pool was amazing, playgrounds in great shape, showers and toilets (both structures) very clean and working as they should. Very safe property and a great place to bring the kids - we will be back soon.

We just finished a last minute camping trip here and we were highly impressed. The grounds and facilities were very well maintained. Everyone was extremely friendly and there were so many activities. With two playgrounds, a pool and tons of open field our family had lots to do. Highly recommend and will be back!!
