"There are bathrooms close by to all, the main lodge is nice and the food at the snack shack is sooo good!! burgers, pizza, salad- all local and from their gardens."
"Restrooms were close by but the only downside was that the showers were at the main store so you had to drive all the way up there!"
"The haunted house is scary enough that I waited by the exit! (This part is NOT for the little kids). The campground fills up for this event so make reservations early."
"The location is good as it is about 10-15 minutes far from the town of Freeport(home to L.L."

"The campsites were very tight, but there was nobody around us so we had plenty of privacy. All campsites are short walk to the beach and very pleasant."
TravelerEveryone was friendly. The kitchen/dish washing lean-to was a wonderful addition!! Loved that it had a coffee maker
LegendDanforth 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.
GuideUsed 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.
ScoutWe stayed here right after Memorial Day weekend, so the campground was mostly cleared out and quiet. The bathhouse was very clean (coin-operated showers), and the sites were spacious. However, with more people there, it seemed like it would feel a little crowded, with the tent sites being so close together.
This campground is also very close to a public beach and a very short drive to Darmascota, so overall, I am very happy with the location and experience!
GuideThis 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.
GuideThis is a very nice campground. There are new owners, when we got there it was the beginning of the season.
TravelerIt was a great place for Rainy Camping. We went during a pouring rain storm and our site remained relatively dry. We even enjoyed a small fire the next day.
GuideTops’l Farm offer the best of glamping. Located in Waldoboro, they create a wonderfully balanced experience between the outdoors and glamp. While their model continues to evolve, camping is not available on all days/weekends. They create special weekend camping events and retreats. We participated in a weekend camping event that included a farm to table meal on Saturday evening in their barn. They had recommendations for places to visit during the rest of the weekend, which we did not do.
Their model is a stay that costs a price, plus a lot of a la carte “extras” that you can order. We ordered Friday dinner and wine; and breakfast for one morning. Depending on the weekend, ‘extra’ offers could also include yoga, foraging, s’mores kits, etc.
Tops’l Farm has both cabins and glamping tents. The bath house is very nice for a camp bath house, with soap and shampoo. The cabins are full of creature comforts, including nice sheets and blankets, lanterns, and an overall beautifully appointed space that is still rustic. Each cabin has a fire pit.
The farm dinners offer delicious food with ingredients from local farms. The food is delicious, simple and very satisfying all at the same time. The barn that they hold the dinners in is simple yet elegant. There is a camp store where you can buy beer, wine, snacks and other basic items.
They truly curate a lovely glamping experience. It isn’t cheap, but if you want a glamping weekend, it’s one of the best.
TravelerSmall beautiful campground right on the water. Away from the busy stuff but close enough to visit it if you want.
