We stayed here 2 nights in site #41. It was an excellent pull-through site across from the bathrooms. We were worried about it being noisy next to the bathrooms, but you never even noticed. The sites in the field also looked nice if you were with other campers. This park was very quiet and extremely well maintained. Sites are generously spread out so that you have plenty of privacy. Easy to navigate the roads as well as the dump station with a big rig. The people at the entrance station were very nice and helpful. I would definitely stay here again. One of the best state park campgrounds I have ever stayed at. Ranger stays at the booth until 11:00 pm. However, if your an early-riser person: some of the gates (auto road, ocean side picnic area) don't open until 9:00 am. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Nice quiet non-commercial campground. Sites are a little tight but with care, not a problem. If you don't need a pool and want to kick back in a quiet natural setting, this is the place. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
A very nice clean state park, close to the little town of Camden, you can walk to town and walk to the top of Mount. Battie, Lots of trails to walk on, poor TV reception. I loved this this state park. I will go back. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We love it here. One could not ask for a better of park. The sites are roomy, in the woods, have lots of shade, (or some very sunny spots in a field if you want), W&E, WiFi. In addition you are near Camden ME, a quintessential Maine seaside community. We recommend a windjammer cruise on Penobscot Bay. Sure you may have to level you RV, and there may be a few mosquitoes, but remember you are in the woods, camping, not in a Holiday Inn parking lot! Enjoy it for what it is. We plan to come back here many times We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
I don't know where the $30 camping fee others report comes from, but we paid the non resident fee listed on the reservations web site of $20 for 50 amp power and water. This is a very nice park with a choice of sites in the trees or about 12 sites on the edge of a very nice grassy field which is about the size of 4 football fields. We had to be a little careful driving between the tress on the CG roads but there wasn't any real tight spaces. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The new electric/water sites are very large. They back up to a wooded area and face out onto an open field. Plenty of space between sites in this section. The 12 or so sites in this area are excellent for large rigs, but the short access road to these sites is rough for a large motorhome. We did fine going in, but going out was a problem due to trees. We drove our car to the top of the park for a beautiful view of Camden and the ocean. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We camped here in the field last in 2005 for $16 per night. Now because they added water and electric the rate jumped to $30 per night. The reservation fee added another $2 per night. The location is nice for hiking and as a base for touring but in my opinion not worth $30. We won't be back. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Still one of my favorite Maine State Parks Campgrounds. Very scenic, quiet, lots of hiking and near Camden for shopping and the ocean. There are 107 campsites and they are planning within the next year to put in electricity on some of their sites. I don’t know if I am for that or not. It is a great campground as it is without the noise that sometimes electricity brings. Great place to retire! We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is one of the Maine State Park campgrounds which can be reserved for 2 or more nights on weekends and 1 or more on Sunday through Thursday. There are some beautiful sites in the woods but there are some sites in the meadow for big rigs. This campground is up high over Camden which is a beautiful seaside community with great little shops. The park has a toll road and hiking trails to the top of Mt. Battle for panoramic views of the harbor. It also has private picnic sites and hiking trails down the hill from the campground that you can walk too with some beautiful views of the bay. We have camped here many times in the last twenty-five years as we head up the coast of Maine going to Acadia National Park or on our way to Canada. The rangers are very nice. It's a good place to stay awhile to visit along the coast or just for a one night stopover. We like the first loop on the right. Great campground and adorable town. The library in town should be seen - part of it is built underground and they do have computer access there. Don't miss the Oreo cows in a pasture near town pass the library. In the Fall they gave us a discounted rate. We camped here in a Motorhome.
