Great spot for camping, swimming, kayak/canoe rentals, etc! Bit of a hilly walk to the beach from the campground. Lots of shaded picnic areas and changing rooms at the beach. Rentals are $3 and hour for kayaks and the boats are already down by the water, no need to haul. Firewood available at gate for $6 a bundle. Minimal bugs. A perfect summer spot!

Our campsite was big and clean. There is a picnic table and fire area to use. They also sell firewood at the gate for $6 a bundle. We had a wonderful weekend the kids loved exploring the woods and swimming.

Been going there since childhood. Great place to go with the family for picnics and to camp. Most recently the wife and I have been going to the park for day use so that we can kayak from there. Very little boat traffic and plenty of places to stop on shore and picnic.

This park is one of my favorite park in Maine. I went around 1:00pm it was not crowded , the entrance fee is $5 per person , the restrooms area are SO clean. The park itself is well maintained, lots of great views and space to spend a relaxing time.The beach is rocky but it has an area where you can walk on sand. The water was not too cold they also offer kayaks and please do the trails are well marked and you will have an amazing experience!

Do you have rV spots for a 24 footer?

Carol Sudduth | Sep 17, 2021
Matthew Johnson | Sep 18, 2021

Yes they do. There were quite a few. Only a few have water and electric hookups. You can run your generator though from 8am-8pm.. Dump station. No sewer hookups. And as the last person said, there is a pull through site as well. I have a 25ft trailer and the end flops out, making it about 30ft long and there are many sites that I could fit in easy. It's a great place.

where is the group camping site? it is not on the map. we are staying there for a week!

Lisa and Paul Plourde | Apr 16, 2018
Fritz Miller | Apr 17, 2018

I don't believe there is a group camping site in the main camping area. Some sites cannot be reserved, so be sure and download the site map then, reserve sites that are near each other. The area down by the beach may have group camping but I don't know for sure.

Is this a cool place?

cynthiana zahn | Apr 16, 2018
Katie McDougal | Apr 17, 2018

It is a great place to hang out at a beach or go kayaking. We take our tiny kids to the beach there, they love to play in the sand and the water is fairly shallow and calm enough for them to enjoy it. It has picnic areas and BBQs available for use. It seems to always be clean and l have never found anything that I would be afraid for my kids.
