Cold River Campground

If I could give zero stars I would. The absolute worst campground in Maine. The staff is extremely impolite and inconsiderate and the site was unacceptable. Advertised as a family establishment it was far from it. The grounds are unkept and the pool was closed during the heat wave. They limited water use as there was a threat of a drought.

Called and the guy worked with me on a site. We stayed 5 nights in a bus. The space was a little short but we made it work. We were right by the bathrooms and showers, which was great. Their bathrooms and showers were very nice and clean. Best ones we had on our entire trip. Pricing was very reasonable. Laundry was very nice. Had a library full of books and movies. In fact my sister in law and I watched a movie while we done laundry. Best laundry I’ve ever been in on my travels. The guy who worked there stopped by a couple times to see if everything was still okay. There was a lot of long timers, but it was very quiet. I guess if I had to say anything negative it would be the sites are a little close to each other. But would definitely stay there again.

This is a nice little well maintained campground. It was extremely quiet which worked well for our purposes. The bathrooms were impeccably clean and comfortable. The showers hot and free. The campsites were mostly partially shaded, level and average in size. The best sites were for seasonal as is typical, but all sites seems easy to access. This is not a resort type destination campground but a good home base for exploring the area. My only complaint is that the office/store was closed the first two days we were there and the pool was locked the entire time with no explanation so there was little to do while there. Overall I recommend Cold River Campground as long as you have plans outside of being at the campground.

Excellent campground. Owners are very helpful and friendly. We needed a site for 2 weeks. The owner worked with us on the phone and got 3 sites over the time we needed. Yes we had to move twice but we needed to be near Bangor. Thanks for the effort, it worked out great. This cg is both seasonal and short term. We found the seasonal folks very warm and welcoming, not always the case in our experience. I can't speak about the bath house as we never used it. The pool is clean and the communal campfires are a great place to meet some really nice people. Just want some quiet time? No problem, each site has its own fire pit. They seem to have something going on each weekend. While we were there it just seemed like the owners were tending to something every day. They really care about the appearance and functionality of the cg and the satisfaction of their guests. It is about a 10 minute drive into Brewer and Bangor, so very convenient. I absolutely recommend Cold River CG.
