Best Campgrounds near Hermon, ME

678 Reviews

Cabin accommodations near Hermon, Maine range from rustic to modern, with several established campgrounds offering cabin rental options. Pumpkin Patch RV Resort features cabin rentals alongside RV sites in a clean, well-maintained setting about 15 minutes from downtown Bangor. Pleasant Hill Campground and The Hawnets Nest also provide cabin options, with The Hawnets Nest offering a more intimate experience with only three sites total. Pushaw Lake Campground, located near Orono, combines lakefront cabin rentals with tent and RV sites, providing water access approximately 20 minutes north of Hermon.

Most cabin facilities in the region operate seasonally from May through mid-October, closing during Maine's harsh winter months. Reservations are strongly recommended, particularly for summer weekends and the fall foliage season. Amenities vary significantly between properties, with some offering full hookups, showers, and recreational facilities while others provide more basic accommodations. Cell service is generally reliable throughout the area, though WiFi quality differs between campgrounds. A camper at Pumpkin Patch noted, "Sites are very clean and the park is well-groomed with maintenance people always mowing or cleaning sites. There is pretty good space between sites so you don't feel cramped."

The camping experience around Hermon caters primarily to adults and families seeking quiet, well-maintained facilities rather than adventure destinations. Several reviewers mentioned the peaceful atmosphere of Pumpkin Patch RV Resort, which has no pool or playground but offers clean facilities and friendly staff. Pushaw Lake Campground provides waterfront sites that are popular but can be windy in certain conditions. Proximity to Bangor's amenities and attractions is a significant advantage for most cabin properties in the area, with Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor accessible as a day trip about an hour away. Many cabins serve as convenient bases for exploring the region rather than as destinations themselves.

    Quietside Campground

    Quiet

    We stayed here one night in mid September in a non electric site. Quiet place. Cute cabins and hobbit huts! The bath house we went into had one shower for the men and one for the women. The toilet and sinks were combined into one stall with 2 stalls for the men and 2 stalls for the women. Nice owner and we paid less than for a comparable site at a Maine state park.

    Bass Harbor Campground

    Potting Shed

    We stayed in the Potting Shed cabin for 3 nights. Bathroom was clean and had plenty of sinks, toilets and showers. Water was hot for showers and there was a nice dressing area. We were there on a weekend in mid September and it seemed busy but not full. Can buy a cup of coffee in the camp store in the morning

    Quarry Ledge Campground by Modern America

    As of 9/25 address is not in Apple Maps, we had to enter Somes Sound View Campground. Nice campground, sites are nice size, fairly private and mostly level. Our site has water and electric on the wrong side. Excellent shower house.

    Balsam Cove Campground

    Great place!

    We stayed here one night in September in a Tuesday. Quiet, very few people. Had a non electric site without water and paid the same price as the state park in Camden. This place had much nicer showers and bathrooms. Would return!

    Hadley's Point Campground

    Nice looking park ! clean

    Nice site one of the more expensive campgrounds in the area. Polite staff I asked if I could rinse off the front and back of Airstream as they have dusty roads here. The said no not even without soap. I asked no we are on a well. First time I was told no in two years of travel . Even in upscale parks most let you rinse the bugs off

    Not a real complaint just a note .

    Acadia Seashore Camping and Cabins

    Beautiful spot but...Meh...🤦🏼‍♀️

    So we got there & was escorted to our spot which seemed nice. It took awhile to get rid of them so we could get set up.

    We got everything set and we have a mat we put down. Well, the grass is like straw & we were not allowed to have the mat on their dead grass??

    In our spot, for 6 nights, we had no shade at all!!! All these nice ocean front ones that were there we assigned to people there for 2-3 days! Wth!!!

    Their honey wagon waa broke down so we had to pull everything in to empty our grey water.

    I went and asked about how much the laundry machines were and 30 mins later it was a little painful. You have to sign up to do laundry and schedule your time. Ok, well I did 2 loads for $14 and my hours was up and one load was not completely dry. She explained that ONE TIME some families got their clothes mixed up as they were all trying to leave at one morning. So, instead of them looking at this as an exception, they put this sign up system in place. So, complete overreaction and changed every other's experience in the future.

    As our neighbor described it as a RIDGED HOA. The kind that worry about everything you do and don't do.

    Meguniticook by the Sea Campground

    Overpriced!

    Corporations are buying up the private campgrounds and charging ridiculous prices. The three around Campden, ME have 4 day minimums making the most basic RV site $ 225 to $260 per stay.

    Bar Harbor/Oceanside KOA

    Great choice

    The Campground offers basically everything that’s needed for a good experience. There are kids amenities and activities, there’s a shop inside of the campground with a little of everything you might need. We rented a site next to the ocean, and it was great!
