The hosts were fantastic in accommodating our needs (a drive through), very friendly and did whatever they could to help. The bathrooms were very clean. It was also great to have them deliver food on a rainy night after a long day driving. One camper next to us was not happy we had two dogs, thus we felt our dogs couldn’t even go outside after being cooped up in the car all day.

We stayed one week and found the staff all to be very helpful and friendly. They have good food at the restaurant and a cute ice cream store. The owner goes the extra mile to make sure you’re satisfied!!! We would stay here again!!!

Too much junk laying around seasonal campers. Makes the park look like a dump. Other than that staff and events are fun.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Are you sure you have the right campground? Look at the other reviews. KOA has strict standards and wouldn't let has be a dump.

This KOA is large and has a great store, lots of activities planned, hot food to order or ice cream shop. The only problem is not enough showers or washers/dryers for this size KOA and had no hot water for showers by mid morning multiple days and washers/dryers are old and to high $ or not working well. sometimes had to wait to do laundry. Most KOA's are $1.25 wash and $1.25 dry not $5 per load

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Our 5 washers are $2.50 and our 4 gas dryers are .25 for five minutes. Not sure how you get $5.00 a load! We have 8 showers and expect most people do use their on board showers. There are 4 hot water heaters, and we do not and can not control how long people take showers.

With the remnants of Hurricane IDA pounding the east coast my wife and I decided to change our plans of going to CapeCod and decided to go to Bar Harbor instead. Chris at the KOA ,found us a site on the busy Labor Day weekend . What a great decision it was to go to Maine. My wife and I were on a 2 week tour of the Northeast .Chris and his wife run a fine operation ,Their tourist info is spot on!!

I wish they would enforce dogs being on a leash and people picking up there dog poop. We had one poop on our site that no one picked up.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We do enforce the dog leash law, unfortunately we can't be everywhere. We wish you would have called the office and we would have come out and taken care of it immediately. My maintenance staff pick up after other peoples dogs all the time. If you called we would have come and cleaned it up.

Great stay made better by Chris and Lorens super hospitality.
Sep 04, 2021
The staff were super friendly and awesome, we realized after 20 minutes of staying that we wanted to stay for a longer period of time, since 1.5 days is not enough to see Maine, they were very accommodating and after asking we were able to get a better campsite which was just awesome!!

Excellent stay, hard working and friendly staff, everything in one place . PS the pizza is great!

Know that it had rained but we were assigned a muddy sight when there were several empty sites that was high and dry.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

I am sorry that hurricane IDA brought much needed rain to this region. The whole campground was WET and MUDDY with all the rain we got. You were here for one night and those sites were both multiple nights. Both customers were delayed coming due to Ida. We did not know this until the evening.

I called and reserved a spot for a tent for my wife and I. Whoever I talked to was very nice and told me where to find the map to get to our campsite (because we weren't arriving until late) When we arrived there was nothing left for us. That's fine, no problem. I called the KOA and explained the situation. Whoever I dealt with, was completely unpleasant. Very unprofessional. Unacceptable.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

You called after hours and said you could not find the night drop. Told you where the box was, you were upset, said there was no map. We came down opened the door and turned on lights and you refused to come in. We apologized that someone took your map gave you a new one. Not sure what more you want

We had a wonderful time at this campground and the owners and staff were always so friendly and helpful. They have great activities on the weekends and their Pizza Cafe and Ice Cream and Gift Shop were a great addition to the typical campground. We can’t wait to go back again next year!

We spent two weeks at this KOA and noticed how pleasant the staff was. The park was very clean and well maintained. The Holden-A-Cone and Red Barn were enjoyed very much.

We had a fantastic time here and can’t wait to be able to come back again! There were so many fun activities going on and the campground is beautiful. The owners clearly go out of their way to make sure their campers are happy and having fun!

Our family had a wonderful time at this KOA! The staff was very friendly and worked extremely hard to satisfy their guests. The camp store had everything we needed that we had forgot to bring. We highly recommend staying here. We will be back next season for sure!

The camp grounds are well kept and there is a lot to do I will say however that this was our third trip to this campground and there was an issue with our reservation in which the owners wife totally put the blame on us and the owner would not even come and talk to us about the issue which basically wis a communication issue between both parties I feel we could have been treated better

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

You made 2 reservations and never cancelled the 2nd reservation. We let you choose which site you wanted. You admitted that you received 2 confirmations. Yet you never cancelled the 2nd one! You "talked to the owner's wife" yet you wanted to talk to the owner. What is she chop liver!!!

Very nice place to stay. The grounds are neat and clean. The sites are spacious and easily accessible. The staff are friendly and helpful. Great amenities, especially for a family.

We did not stay because of a late checking in policy that would forced us to leave our pet in a parking loot without A/C. I notified the campground of the reason we would not be staying less than 10 Minutes after making the reservation on line and was told that I could cancel the reservation but would not refunded. I am very disappointed that the campground values money over customer service.

Friendly place, Friendly owners and staff. Clean facilities. Lot of stuff for the kids to do.

We had a wonderful time and will stay again in the future. The only criticism I have is it would have been nice to have a shorter lawn on our sites...the bugs were bad and I think a shorter lawn might have helped but otherwise a great stay!!!

We rented a park home and it was very clean with all the kitchen stuff we needed and a large refrigerator too! Bed was super comfy. Staff was very kind and helpful.

Great KOA with all the normal amenities you would expect. The staff is super helpful, very friendly, and have great positive uplifting attitudes. When we first arrived, it rained pretty hard. We asked a neighbor if it had been raining a lot, and he said he had been here for 3 weeks and it hadn't stopped yet. We stayed for 2 weeks, and ended up with like 4 sunny days without rain. This meant that the entire campsite was pretty thoroughly flooded, and our entire yard had standing water with a nice big mud patch right at our front steps. It was so wet that the staff couldn't even mow until our second to last day, so the grass was getting pretty long and soggy. Despite all of the negative weather, the staff maintained their positive attitude, and did not cancel any of their fun events and activities. Even though the pool and bounce pad were out of commission, they more than made up for it with indoor crafts, events, and fun hangouts at the club house. The entrance is EXTREMELY tight. If you are towing a vehicle, I highly recommend you disconnect before pulling in. We did not, and we did not make it through the entrance either. Staff was once again super helpful in getting us unstuck, and gave us the time and space to maneuver safely, instead of rushing us out of the road like we have experienced at other camps, including some highly rated KOA's. The park store here is probably the biggest and most well stocked store we have seen in over a year, and the pizza, sandwiches, and ice cream are tasty and worth sampling. Jones Lobster Company right down the road really does have the BEST lobster rolls, and the best tasting lobster we had during our entire stay in Maine. We camped at Bangor / Holden KOA in a Motorhome. Detracting 1 star due to the water becoming non-potable during our stay due to their septic overflowing into their well contaminating it with e coli.

Stayed here for the Summer 23 Season. Lance and his crew really worked hard all season upgrading the place and if you ever needed anything they were great. Disregard the negative old reviews from prior ownership. Would of signed up for next season but work isn't gonna have me up there.
