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.

Large almost level site. Easy access from highway but still quiet. Bath house was clean. Free WiFi ok. Lots of great hiking trails.

The campground really isn't the draw here. Yes, it's way overpriced, but you'll find that all over New England - other sites in the area will set you back $70-80 a night and are much tighter. Sites are fine - they need some leveling, and some are better than others. The real draw here is the location though. You're within walking access to a good 40 miles of trail, some that end in incredible ocean views, you're right across the street from the ocean where you can picnic on a hill, sit on a bench or stroll the short trail, and you're about 10 minutes from downtown Camden, which is a great little harbor town with lots of amenities. It pained us a little to cough up this much for electric and water, but New England RV camping overall just comes with a little higher of a price tag. We'll make it up boondocking out west in the winter! A note on sites - we stayed in 107, which on the surface seems like a crappy site (very close to the entrance), but we wound up liking it because there were only 3 sites in the loop, which meant we had the whole cul-de-sac to ourselves for a good chunk of our stay and no one else walked or biked through it since there was no reason to unless you were staying there.
