Beautiful location!

Located on a beautiful lake, this campground is hard to beat for both activities and a sense of calm. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Due to location, wifi signal is poor, and Verizon and T-Mobile are so so at different times of the day if you need to be connected. Canoes and kayaks can be rented to enjoy the water and scenery, while the crowds of Bar Harbor can be reached in slightly less than an hour.

Quiet and Cozy

We love the fresh water and BonFires. there is a playground and a common eating area. the kids feel like they are at summer camp while here. the sites are not very private but there are showers and toilets. the tent sites are private and have water/electric. there are RV sites which are private, but those fill up fast, most rv sites are on a gravel pad area with no privacy.
