Arrowhead Campground

2 Reviews Add Review

Arrowhead Campground sits directly on the river in Machias, providing both drive-in and boat-in access through its private launch. The privately managed facility offers full hookups including electric, water, and sewer connections, though these sites fill quickly during peak season. Campers can access drinking water, restrooms, showers, and WiFi on the open terrain near the lake.

The campground operates on a cash or check-only basis, requiring mailed payments for reservations rather than online booking. This payment system creates some logistical challenges for advance planning. Pets are welcome throughout the property, and campfires are permitted. For different accommodations, Bear Creek Lake Resort offers an alternative experience seven miles south.

Great location, nice people

Stayed there twice over the years, nice sites but the full hookups fill up quickly in the high season. Campground is right on the river with a private boat launch. NO CREDIT CARDS; cash or check only. It makes it a little clunky to get a reservation because you have to mail in a check. Would give five stars if it had online reservation system secured with credit card. Worth the stay.
