Campground Reviews

Oct 11, 2022
The location was nice in that we were ae to visit Acadia National Park, Bangor, Barbaro and Freeport. Our site was gravel a d fairly level. The campground is not big rig friendly. We were at to get pur 45 ft class a in and out without incident, howevthere were low hanging tree branches in several areas. The roadway inside the campground is lined with fences and large rocks. Navigation is tricky.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Why do customers not listen to directions? We told you to take the 1st right & your site is on your right. You proceeded to back down a one way street, the wrong way and hug a fence protecting a play ground. If you went the right way, the fence would not have been an issue. There are no low branches

Being led to our site was a great help. Lobster dinners on-site were fantastic.

Great place; good people. After a long road trip, having pizza delivered to the site was cool and a first for us. Unfortunately the wood for the campfire was not seasoned and even with their firestarter would light up for long.

Great amenities and close to UMaine and Bar Harbor. Well stocked store. Some pull throughs have campers back to back pretty close to each other so it can be noisy. I would recommend.

Owners and staff were very helpful and friendly. Very positive vibe at this koa. Only negative I could think of was dog poop. I know this a problem caused by dog owners but you had to be careful where you put your feet.

There was nothing so outstanding about the campground to make it cost over $80/night in the off season. I like other campgrounds in the area better and they are cheaper.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Cost was $75.00/night not over $80.00. You were here with 4 other sites for a birthday. You were on a 75' long pull thru site. Your friend made the reservation for you. We emailed you a confirmation with details. You should have cancelled if it was too much. We were 88% booked there is no off season

Would have liked paper towels available in the bathroom to wipe down the sink area before & after using; also, would have been nice to have a light in outside sink area as it makes it difficult to wash dishes when getting dark outside!!

Great place to stay. The owners are great. Pizza is like you get in NY.

Very friendly, very responsive staff. Sites are clean and functional.

The dome was great. The $5/person visiting fee for just coming to the campsite is a little steep. I think it should be $5/person before a certain time and then just $5 per car or up to two people after dinner since quiet hours are at 10. Other than that everything was great.
Sep 26, 2022
Nice people and nice clean campground. Good clean facilities.
Sep 26, 2022
Small sites, too close to seasonal people that have no regard to park rules, restaurant was great though, all in all disappointed

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We add no complaints from anyone else about other customers. When you check in we tell you if you need anything to call us. We can not fix something if we do not know a problem exists. the closets seasonal you were next to we never had a problem with.

Very helpful staff. Clean and well organized park. Camp store had everything you needed from souvenirs to trailer supplies.
Sep 22, 2022
Convenient location. Site was big enough for our vehicles. Was a little tight when the neighbor showed up but still enough. Food delivery for lunch and dinner. Ice cream shop on property and nice gift shop. Everyone who worked there was pleasant… Will definitely stay here again!

Great location and very friendly hosts. Their shop has everything you need and more!

We had a great time at this campground. The owners and the staff were always friendly and willing to help, in any way possible, so that our stay would be enjoyable. This campground is such a pretty and relaxing place to be and we loved that they delivered our food right to our site. Room service in the woods! It doesn’t get any better! � We look forward to our next visit!

Nice place, friendly people, attentive staff. I stayed one on my way to Canada and again on the way back. The pizza they make there is great!
Sep 17, 2022
Good - pleasant and helpful staff, spotless restrooms, nice store and on site restaurant, power hookups in good condition. water pressure also good, overall well maintained Not Good - located on main Acadia access route; dangerous entrance and exit due to heavy traffic, road noise, bright lights from other campers and street lights, jet aircraft noise in early morning, sites too close even for KO

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Not sure where you come up with bright light. Also we are not on the flight path to the airport 10 miles away, not sure how you heard planes.

Great friendly staff and a great selection of gift items in camp store I have ever seen. Site was a little tight getting but great we had a great time.
Sep 16, 2022
Accueil chaleureux, site parfait.calme et propreté.

Our lot was very uneven, very difficult to get the camper level. The camp sites were very small, our slideout almost touched the neighbors slideout. TV reception was poor, cable was not good very fuzzy.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

As we told you when you left and told us about the Cable. You needed to be using the digital stations and not the analog stations, which are clearly marked on the map. I guess you thought we were lying.

The campsite that we had were niot at the KOA standard. Plus we wnted a site without service and the owner told us that there was none. Aftereward we saw on the map that there were some tent site that we could have used.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

you were on a 65" deep lot by 25" wide lot. Not sure why that was not up to standards. You had a van and we do not let you drive vans onto a tent site. We booked you on a water and electric site which is the minimum site for a van.

Campground was nice, well maintained. The front office was terrific, friendly and helpful. Chris was very nice and they made great pizzas. Would definitely stay again.
Sep 13, 2022
Arrived at the campground 2 hours before check in time. No problem for Chris and his staff. Pizza’s outstanding. Entire staff was excellent. This place does it right.
Sep 12, 2022
Staff is very nice and helpful. While my hookup was fine, there is a problem with the electrical box, no cover. This might have been an issue in bad weather, so I reported it. See you next year!

Best campground we have stayed at. Very friendly staff. Camp site was excellent

1) 2 night minimum for events weekend ( every weekend is an event weekend in bangor). Couldn’t make it the first night and could not get a refund. 2) my son wanted to come but couldn’t put a small pop up tent on our site. We already paid for two nights and would have had to pay for 2 more nights in order for him to come. 3) our tent site was on a hill with 3/6 on level ground not being used.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

1) when you booked you were aware of a 2 night Min. with a 2 night min why would we give you a refund. 2) our rules clearly state no additional tents on a site, & again it was a 2 night min.3) your tent was not on a hill. Why lie becuase you did not get your way?

We’ve not enjoyed virtually any koa or other camp site as much as Holden! Every employee responds as if he/she were the owners and wanted/needed to make our visit the BEST! The food, from bagels, to pizza, to lobster rolls was superb. The gift shop.. amazing! Choices beyond belief of gifts, needs, wants, didn’t know I needed but wanted..etc fabulous! KOA corp should take lessons from these own

I wanted to like this KOA, but just can’t! Our site was so tight, I could reach out my living room window and touch the neighbors slide. Our site was so unlevel, I put two leveling blocks under both my front tires, yet our RV was still low on the front end. Employee at the front desk refused to honor my rewards points for a $50 credit. If all KOA’s were like this one, I would never stay again!

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

You came in the day after check in on the way out & wanted to use your rewards then. I explained that we need to do it the same day. Because of that you want to lie about the site. You were on a 130' long site which is level and you didn't use leveling blocks. Not sure how a 130' long site is tight!

Convenient location. Nice site. Firewood was so wet, water squirted out when I was splitting it. No hope of starting a fire.
Sep 07, 2022
As a family we rented 2 camp sites. A tent and the deluxe cabin, for the 8 of us. We had the best weekend!! Campground was kept clean, bath house was always clean, staff was friendly, and plenty of activities to keep us busy. Great way to end our summer!

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.
