I stayed at this location last year and returned this year while on my way to my seasonal job in Bar Harbor. On both occasions, I lodged in the lower loop section. Due to the time of the year, the entire campground wasn't operational. This state park, which is quite old, is filled with numerous trees providing ample shade. Although the sites are spacious and well-distanced, some can be challenging to navigate, particularly with larger vehicles. I have a 22-foot trailer, and there were a few spots I wouldn't have dared to try to maneuver into due to the narrow roads and potential obstacles when reversing. Luckily, I had the opportunity to drive around the loop and choose a spot. According to the park ranger, this option becomes available as the season progresses. There are a few spots that can handle larger vehicles and a couple of drive-through sites. Considering it's on the east coast, the rates for water and electricity were fair. The dump station is easily accessible. The entrance and exit are a bit narrow but manageable.

In the waning days of September 2022, we lodged at this place for a trio of nights. The sites were nestled in a decent woodland setting, but the $49 fee for water and electricity seemed steep. We got there without a reservation, and the park officer handed me a map showing the spots with water and electricity that were still open (it was a bit cold and the trees obstructed our solar power). We quickly selected spot #29 and I returned to settle the payment. Spot #29 was extensive and flat. There was a multitude of appealing spots! It was a great location for leisurely strolls and served as a good launching point for exploring the surroundings. We rated it 4 stars, the cost being the drawback. However, we didn't come across many campgrounds in Maine, and the ones we did find were either privately owned or costly.

We were lucky to nab a drive up (non-reservable) site on Aug 27, 2022. We got site 15. It is nice sized for our 23 foot trailer. We did not find it to be level, as you will see in the pictures, but with adjustments, we were able to get level only with our truck unhooked. A larger rig might not work in this site. It has dappled shade, so is nice and cool. Privacy is OK, and it has been quiet. Cell signal is weak but works a bit (t-mobile), and WiFi is third party for a fee. It was recommended we see how strong the signal is before paying. We have not used the showers or restrooms.

We have camped here many times in the past, and we always leave pleased. Sites are good, hookups in good shape. Bathhouses/showers in Maine state parks are well designed and clean, with individual unisex shower rooms so no waiting - although some mechanical issues were noted. Very quiet even over Labor Day weekend - lots of families out playing hard during the day and resting hard at night! We will undoubtedly return when we travel coastal Maine.

Easy check-in, site 6 was level and had good separation from neighbors. Had a flock of turkeys with chicks come through our site. Oceanview Overloop trail has spectacular views of Camden. Easy drive to Mt. Battie overlook from the campground. Short drive to historic Camden, Maine. Exit from dump station takes you 1/2 mile through the campground, I backed out to avoid this. 2 bars of AT&T coverage and no HDTV channels.

We made this reservation just for it's location near our grand niece 3.5 and nephew 5. It was their first time camping and they came out to stay one night with us. It has been a rainy summer and everything was damp but we had a great day and we were able to take advantage of the trails that leave right from the campground! There were some easy enough for our little hikers and we all had a great time. Nearby Camden has a great ice cream shop as a reward! The campground itself offers a variety of sites. Some with water and electric and some without. We chose to have hookups and our site was level and nested with other campers. The sites without hookups up on the hill were really spacious and felt a bit more "remote". All in all we were left with a good old fashion campground feel! My husband adds: There were a fair amount of people but not overcrowded. It was also quiet and the Rangers friendly and helpful! He also visited the restrooms and says they were clean and adequate. We also purchased wifi and it was GREAT!

We live near this State Park, but being new to Maine had not stayed there. Sadly we visited end of June 2021 during horrible hot, muggy weather so didn’t fully enjoy the region. The Field parking for trailers is very clean and would be my choice for Fall. We were shaded, in lightly swaying trees. As others mentioned, the spots are spaced well. There is a small playground up by the third level however there were few kids present during our visit. Park was quiet. We had electricity and water hook-ups; there is a septic dump site. Also sells ice and firewood. Camden is a short drive where there are lovely shops and places to eat or grab a kayak lesson. The shoreline trail on the picnic side of the Park is lovely. And, everyone hikes or drives the short trip to Mount Battie for its view. It was hazy when we went. Bathrooms needed attention but were okay. I skipped their showers based upon conditions in restroom.
