Great campground. Friendly staff. Clean bathrooms. Nice store. Great Pizza. People who complain either forgot they are camping and not at the Ritz or they are not happy people and are looking to say something bad just to make themselves feel important... 11/3/2019

Great people and sites. A bit of traffic noise if you are near the front of the campground. 10/19/2019

We stayed 6 nights. Great stay because this was our base camp for the week. We were next to the bath house which was convenient. Loved all the trails associated with the KOA which our dog enjoyed. Only negative was the cable for the TV wasn't too reliable. 10/18/2019

Found this in rain storm as a quick stop, unplanned. Staff was great, friendly, and gave us a free ice cream as a consolation. 10/17/2019

The owners of KOA were extremely friendly and helpful. The facilities were clean, comfortable, and quiet. I stayed in one of the domes, which I had never done before, and was a very fun experience. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Bangor/Holden KOA... 10/17/2019

Friendly/helpful owner and park is clean. 10/8/2019

We always feel very good about our stay in Holden. However, we DO think that if a campground is going to stay open into October, there ought to be heat in the restrooms. 10/7/2019

Bar Harbor is one of those places everyone has to visit in their lifetime. It is the heartbeat of Mount Dessert Island in Down East Maine. It has become so popular that the cruise ships not anchor at the port. There are beautiful shops selling everything Maine and wonderful restaurants all around the town serving up the best of the local fare. Bar Harbor has many wonderful trips out to see to watch for whales puffins and other wildlife. There are a number of lighthouses just off shore that can be seen from these tours as well. Acadia National park is just a hope skip and a jump from downtown Bar Harbor.

Fort Knox, Maine's largest historic fort, features stunning military architecture and master granite craftsmanship. Constructed between 1844 and 1864 by master craftsmen and never fully completed, this is an unaltered example of a large mid-19th century granite coastal fortification. It is also New England's finest unmodified specimen of military architecture of the period.

The fort was strategically located on the narrows of the Penobscot River to protect the river valley from naval attack. Although it never saw combat, Fort Knox was garrisoned during the Civil and Spanish American Wars.

Fort Knox bears the distinction of being Maine's first granite fort. About 500 troops from Connecticut were stationed here during the Spanish-American War. They lived outside the main fort structure in large tents. Today, visitors can stroll the grounds of this great fort and learn about the rich history of the troops who served to protect American interests during the 1800s.

One of the best things about Maine is the diversity of its small towns from fishing ports to great spots along our rivers and ponds. Belfast is one of these villages. The view from the road makes you believe you are stepping into a postcard. The main street has lots of lovely shops nice bistros for some lunch and after enjoying all of this take a walk down to the pier.
