~Baxter state park was beautiful - worth the trip
~camp ground not family oriented, no kids activities, no campsite activities, they have a small pool and a small play ground that is it - you pretty much entertain your-self, we are used to kid friendly and kid oriented camp grounds
Beautiful spot, clean bathrooms, free hot showers, far enough away, yet close to amenities like shopping, etc. Just a few miles from Baxter State Park and the Golden Road. Will be back!
If there was another campground near the rafting company, I would not give these people my business. They repeatedly ask us when other people will be arriving even after we gave them an answer. The fire wood is overpriced for small bundles that burn very quickly. The owner tried to charge a visitors fee for someone that was simply dropping other people off at the camp so that they didn't need to drive. I can't wait for a different campground to open simply so I don't need to give these people my business.
First, let me say, that when we arrived our original site had been changed without any notification.
We had a wonderful time. The campground is clean! the pool is clean! The showers are great and bathrooms are clean! We had one night in a tent and the site was clean, quiet and private. The next two nights we were in the camper that is for rent there. It too was clean and nice. The staff is friendly and accommodating. There is also plenty to do in area and staff is knowledgeable. We are hoping to go again next yr.
~we had a site with no septic - we were told they had pump out service, coincidentally, that was not available either during our stay
Needless to say, I was in tears when my husband arrived back from his hike.
~ other campers are friendly and helpful (more than the owners)
They also told us we could dump at the Chamber of Commerce down the road and that they accepted donations but wasn't necessary. In my opinion THEY should be making a contribution to the Chamber, not us.
~ wifi never worked , when asked they were rude and said its our phone, other campers experienced same issue - no wifi and no help
~Quiet
~camp store was small and overpriced, wood was dried to the bone and went up inflames easy and fast
Overall - I would not stay here again, nor would I recommend this place to anyone. They way over-sold this place at camping expo and the brochure must be super photo shopped. Owner was rude and not helpful at all. Spend a bit more and stay somewhere else.
And the WiFi was not good either. When I called for the code, I was informed it was posted in the bathroom. NOT ALL of us used their facilities so I wouldn't have known.
Being way up north in Maine you can't find any music stations (which is fine unless you are listening to a dually truck and some kind of poop sucking contraption!)
Cons:
Third, on Sunday, while my husband was hiking at BSP and I stayed back at the site, I was fortunate enough to listen to a dual wheeled diesel pick up truck back up and pull forward ALL day long (because he didn't know how to drive the thing!) while he tried to remove stuff from the broken dump station into a loud sounding contraption on a trailer. This went on ALL frigging day on Sunday of a long holiday weekend!
~drove 6 hrs to find out they cancelled our reservations (booked 6 months in advance) after we inquired weeks before about what the cancellation policy was (they assumed because we inquired, we wanted to cancel and never asked or confirmed, then to accommodation us, they thought moving from site to site every-day was acceptable. We have a pop-up and 3 kids, moving every-night was not acceptable for me. A kind family from Texas in a driving RV gave us their site and they camped in the parking lot so we did not have to move every day. In speaking to other campers, they had similar experience, moving from site to site, small camp sites, no room to park. Seems the owners have little experience in running a campground and site scheduling.
I didn't find this campground friendly at all, after signing in no one said hi to us all weekend or stopped by to make sure we were comfortable.
~our camp site was small and barely fit our popup when extended, we had no room to park our vehicle the entire stay
Pros:
Second, we were nicely placed NEXT to a broken dump station and a four way road that tended to be busy quite a lot. Our site reminded me of an overflow camp site. So much for any privacy or being set back off the road. We were very lucky to listen to class A motor homes and UTV traffic most of the evening while they tried to be placed into sites that they were too big for. It was like stuffing 10 lbs of stuff into a 5 lb bag. Very comical.
Only good quality that we could find was that the bathrooms were very clean according to my husband.
From reading previous reviews this dump station issue is a continuous problem here.
~when booking they told us reservations not required for other outdoor adventures, such as tours and rentals, when we asked upon arrival, they told us they had no time or resources to help us
~Free hot showers
