We enjoyed our time at Bangor/Holden KOA. When heavy rain changed our plans and we requested a 2-day extension Chris shifted sites around to accommodate us during a very busy time. Chris and Lauren are an excellent example of what KOA campground owners and host should be. I will definitely stay there again if in the area. Thanx Chris and Lauren.

The owners of the Bangor/Holden KOA go more than the "extra mile". They go however far it takes to make sure their guests have an enjoyable stay. They work hard and are a pleasure to do business with. The showers nice and the grounds are kept spotlessly clean. Bangor/Holden KOA easily earned their way into our list of places we would return to.

Spacious, pull thru site for our 45' toy hauler...there was actually 3 toy haulers this size and we all had great sites next to each other. Friendly, family atmosphere, great store and the owner and staff were very kind & helpful. Easy 45 minute ride to Bar Harbor.

Very friendly Owner. Helpful too. Nice clean campground that was in a great location for us. Only 25 minutes to get to the lake. Will definitely stay here in the future.

This park is not up to the standard that we have experienced under the KOA name elsewhere. Run down, crowded and cluttered. Spaces pictured on the booking page in no way accurately describes what you arrive to. Our RV was very close to touching the neighbors RV when our slides were out. Owner is portrayed as domineering and the police were there when we arrived. KOA, this shouldn’t bear your nam

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

The reason the police were here is that we have 4 police officers as seasonals. Some take their cars home with them. We like them here! As for cluttered, as we are running at 95% capacity, the park is busy not cluttered. Unlike other parks we allow our campers to have more than 1 car, like you had.

We loved all that this KOA had to offer, especially the pool, the ice cream shop, the cafe (lobster rolls), the clean bathrooms, and most of all the amazing owner/hosts. Chris and his wife went out of their way to make sure everyone had a fun time while there. Saturdays were full of activities for folks of all ages. This KOA store has the best inventory of any RV place we have stayed.

I loved the people at this KOA, the campers and the staff were very nice, and enjoyable. The pool could use some updating and the sites are a little close, but we still had a very nice stay and did not want to leave.

The fire ring should be the standard metal ring instead of having a collection of broken bricks and blocks stacked in a circle. It would look neater and be easier to maintain. The staff was friendly and helpful.

The campgrounds was clean and neat and the rest rooms were spotless. They were cleaned at least 3 to 4 times a day.The staff was friendly and helpful.

Our only request was to be with our family who were also camping, and we were put on the other side of the campground in a wet lot where the camper couldn’t be leveled. Asked to be moved to the empty lot beside our family (same type of lot we reserved) and were denied.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

I am sorry that we were not able to accommodate you request to be next to your family. As everyone knows this is an extremely busy season and there were no sites left next to your family. When it rains over two inches over the weekend there is not much we can do. Also that site is level.

Staff were very friendly and gave us one of the last two spots they had left. Problem was with electric pole. Turned on microwave and blew power. They sent two young men with volt meter. Read 104 and I was told that was within tolerance. I was able to use my long 30 amp extension cord to plug into next campsite. Power was a little better. My neighbor next door had elect problems also.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

You had tenters on one side of you so I am not sure how they would have electric problems! When you took off your surge protector and plugged into the site next to you had no problems. We suggested you could plug into your site with the same results. The surge protector was the problem.

Great owners & staff. Sites were very nice

Even though the staff was wonderful and the campground very well-kept, I do not think that we would camp here again. 80% of the people there are either full timers or seasonal, and it was uncomfortable for me. Very few actual campsites. I just felt like I was intruding, rather than having a fun family camp time. Also, the sites were very small and cramped.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Out of 120 sites 45 are seasonal sites. The site you were on accommodates a 36' trailer, and the site is 50 long, and yours is 30'.There is also 12' wide of grass until the next campsite. You are from Ohio and most likely will not be camping her again. Are you sure you have the right campground?
Jul 15, 2021
Overpriced and hard to get in and out with camper.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Amazing, you booked on line and you knew what the price was. The site you had was a 75 foot pull thru site, which is angled to make it easier to pull into. Not sure you have the right campground.

We had beautiful weather, minus Elsa The staff was great, clean bathrooms and showers. Alot of things for the kids to do.
Jul 14, 2021
Love this campground so much we will be coming back real soon nice friendly people there too and stuff
Jul 12, 2021
When we arrived we were greeted at check in by very friendly staff. The campground had a lot of seasonal campers but everyone was very friendly and respected the quiet time which we always appreciate. We had a spot on a corner and it was tight to park the truck but managed ok. A big plus was the "Holden a Cone" ice cream stand out front that we took advantage of several evenings.
Jul 12, 2021
I was very disappointed with this campground. I was promised and paid for a deluxe premium site what I got was a site that was so small I can barely walk between my slide and the camper beside me. The deck was all rotten my sons chair went through a rotted area when he was holding my Granddaughter. Both steps to the deck were a safety hazard. The owner was a real hothead wish I could write more.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Let's be honest you were here 8 days and we let you run a tab for visitors. 6 people max per site and you always had 10 + When it was time to pay it you wanted us to waive it since you had a wood deck and not a stone or concrete deck. We said no, and you got upset. No one ever fell through the deck.

Great people and nice place! Good pizza!

They go above and beyond great people

KOA had a problem with the ground in lot 96 which we stayed on. Our AC did not work and had to call a serviceman who spent over two hours trying to find the problem. Finally asked if we had a generator and we did. Started it up and AC worked fine. By the way, we moved to another KOA in Lebanon, Maine. Our AC works fine.

Chris and his crew is AMAZING

One thing, I just felt super sorry for the one lady dying of heat making Pizza and delivering. She needed help and some cool air. I wasn’t in there but a few min. And I was sweating!!!
Jul 07, 2021
Highly recommend this KOA. Grounds well kept, bathhouses clean. Activities for the kids especially on the weekends. The owner and his staff are great people and very helpful.
Jul 07, 2021
It was good, except for all the rain and cold weather, the 4th of July shouldn't be like. But the campground was fun, would stay there again.
Jul 07, 2021
It's an older park but managers do a great job of accomodating everyone and meet the needs of campers. Well cared for amenities and and friendly people. The icecream shop on site is a hit!!

One of the best Koa we have stayed in super friendly owners and the food was wonderful, are returning to this place on our way home
Jul 06, 2021
Lack of professionalism, office error in dates of stay when reservation made (Staff booked two date ranges rather than same dates for both sites), inadequate and unsafe electrical work - found electric box completely charred inside after electrician attempt to make us feel ignorant, sites very small with “overly helpful” staff trying to dictate where to place our camper within the site.

This is an awesome campground. From their sites that are so well kept, their cafe that has wide selection of food for a campground, their ice cream store and many other amenities for us to enjoy. We will stay there again when we are back in town.

this campground was very well maintained, bathrooms were always clean, it provided a nice quiet atmosphere and the staff was friendly.

Had a nice stay, had to take my wife to urgent care on checkout day, Chris and Lauren were very accommodating on allowing us a late checkout. Buy a pizza, they are excellent!! The free soft serve ice cream cone was excellent also.

The first thing I noticed about this Particular KOA , It is steeped in patriotism. respect, and appreciation. The second most important would have to be meeting the owners at the front desk upon check in. Chris & Lauren Waterhouse make camping fun and worry free for this first time rv camper. Their onsite Team of veterans , and employees keep a Safe, clean ,and well stocked, facilities.

On our second day there the internet was not working. I called the office twice and was told that they would send someone to reboot the wi-fi. When no one showed we walked to the office to ask how long it would be before the internet was up. Chris immediately started yelling that he was tired of dealing with entitled people. There was no calming him, he continued to scream at us, we left terrified

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

When you called the office, we DID reboot the internet. When you came into the office, we were dealing with an issue involving the police. You had the nerve to ask how long that would take. We offered you your money back since we could not make you happy. You stayed another 19 days. Real terrified?

Nice, level, and clean sites. Staff was very friendly. Bathrooms and laundry very clean.

easy access to highway, clean facility . and all the folks in yellow shirts did all they could to be nice and helpful to my wife and I .

Great campground. So friendly and helpful! Want to return!
Jun 04, 2024
In our top ten campgrounds in US. nice shaded sites, smart and accommodating staff and clean bathrooms—a must for us. For a campground, it is reasonably close to urban amenities. And there is a lobster house about a mile away. There is an ice cream shop but it was never open during pur stays. Probably a hit with kids.

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.
