GuideSugarloaf 1 Campground
Amazing!
This was among the mist beautiful campsites I have ever stayed at. Large sites with space between neighbors. We had enough privacy to open the shade on our big picture window on our tiny teardrop and fall asleep looking at the stars. Download an area map before you arrive, we lost cell service on the way here and couldn’t rely on navigation. Friday and Saturday nights were fully booked. On Sunday, people could drive in and pick a spot. You need cash if you pay at the entrance. Lots of license plates from NH, MA, ME. On Sugarloaf trail, we encountered lots of first-timers and lots of repeat customers.

TravelerCoos Canyon Campground and Cabins
Great spot for gold panning!
We had a great stay at coos canyon campground! Didn't have too much interaction with staff, but when we did they were very friendly. We had site 7. Sites are good size, and not super close to neighbors. Wifi only works at the camp store, there are extenders throughout the camp, and it worked at our site the first day but didn't after that. The office was surprised it worked for us on day 1 and said they couldn't fix it because it wasn't supposed to work. There isnt any activities like some other campgrounds we've been to, just a small playground, but the canyon and the river give you lots of outdoor things to do. Rent a pan or sluice from the coos canyon rock and gem shop a 3 min walk from the office and pan for gold in the river right from the campground! Fishing, hiking, cliff jumping, and swimming can all be done with a quick walk all while staying in the campground. The camp store has some bare necessities, but did not have any bug swatters (the horse flys can get crazy here) but a spatula from the camp store worked OK. We will definetly be back for some more gold prospecting!

Creepy homeless people live here in the summer
I stayed here with my boyfriend on a weekend in June 2024. We came on a Friday night and there were no available sites so we slept elsewhere, got up early on Saturday and claimed an available site, pitched a tent and went about the day.
As we were leaving after having pitched our tent, we saw a guy walking the road who instantly I had a bad intuitive feeling about and my boyfriend told me not to worry about it.
After hiking for the day we came back to the site to make food and a fire, etc. After cozying up my boyfriend told me he was going to walk to the stream near by to get some water to put the fire out before bed later…
NO less than 2 minutes after my boyfriend disappeared into the woods, who do you think just so happen to come creeping up to the site while I was left alone? Ah yes, gross homeless guy that I had a bad feeling about that same morning. He started approaching me telling me there was a bear near by and to watch out as if I wasn’t aware there was wild life in the area. I told him to go away and he proceeded to walk to the opposite direction of which he came.
Most people would probably brush this off but I’m certain this man was stalking. For creepy men to have nothing better to do than stalk and bother innocent people just trying to enjoy life is infuriating. Of course this area was beautiful but sadly can’t say I’ll be coming back here and I definitely wouldn’t recommend it for solo female adventurers… Not trying to scare. Just wanted to share my honest experience here to spread awareness.

Excellent experience
Everyone was friendly. The kitchen/dish washing lean-to was a wonderful addition!! Loved that it had a coffee maker

Great Sites & Lots to do
Danforth Bay has been the staple campground for my family through the years. Its rare to find a campground with so many spacious wooded sites overlooking the water. They seem to always have events & family friendly activities to keep kids entertained. I always appreceiate the onsite kayak rentals for exploring the river that runs along the campground. Mary’s mountain is a nice hike accessible from the RV/Boat storage area.

Family and Friends Campground
Adequate for our visit
Used this spot for two day stop-over to visit family nearby. Friendly and accommodating. Terrain is a little hilly and tight for large vehicles. Sights are comfortable size. We were there mid-week before school let out. Very quiet.

Great spot
We stayed on site #5 because it was flat, sunny, grassy and had a little brook. Had some passing by traffic but each site is far apart from each other.

Beautiful Lakeside Campground
This a beautiful spot, right on the Lake, listened to the loons, watched Canadian Geese with their goslings and saw a bald eagle swoop down and try to get something. There is a Really nice grocery store near by. We went to Maine Cabin Masters Store, which if you’re a fan was fun.

Pleasant River Campground

This is a very nice campground. There are new owners, when we got there it was the beginning of the season.
