Stay was very nice, convenient location. Only negative was the pool. It was old, cement was breaking apart and the pool deck pavers were very loose. The water was very murky. Went to pool after long day of hiking and was disappointed. The bathroom/shower house was not nearly as nice as many other KOAs we stayed at, some mold on walls/ceiling. Staff was very friendly and rest was nice.

Fresh lobster roll in the red barn. Wonderful gift shop. Really nice managers.

The pool was green and not maintained well. There was an issue with the electrical hook ups. We lost power with in the first couple of hours. Our neighbor said it happens offten and he uses his generator when it does. Our whole section was out. They charged us $30 for 12 pieces of firewood that was delivered. We were in town for a concert in Bangor. The location was convenient. Ice cream is good!

I am sorry the pool was not crystal clear, with three weeks of 90 weather and a heat wave we could not get enough chlorine in the pool fast enough. we could have dumped power chlorine in the pool but everyone's bathing suit would have turned white. Our wood is $5 a bundle or 4 for $18.

Overall ok, not what we expected for the $. Power kept going out and it was very unpleasant to have the neighbors sewer pipes at our picnic table and just outside our front door. Fire pit only a few feet from next camper. No activities during week for kids. One bathroom for entire place very inconvenient for showering during the day when cleaning in progress.

Transient campsite made me feel like we were in a sardine can. One bath house for the entire camp. The other appears to be shut down for renovations but never saw any work going on. However, staff was always cheery.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Sorry that the front bathroom is still under construction. This was not our plan but when everything is back ordered it is hard to get work done. It was not our intent to have it still closed. Like everyone else we are stick and tired of hearing "supply chain issues" for reasons not to get supplies.

Nice clean and Great Owners!

The only thing I found that could improve is the showers. There was some mold on the seats and sealing. Had a great time. The staff was very nice and a lot for family activities. Would come again.

Nice spot to be close to Bar Harbor, Acadia National Park. Lots to do for kids. A little congested.

Service-100%! Cleanliness-100%! Pride of ownership shows-well done! The price was a little high, but hey-no one is escaping what the price of fuel is doing to the whole economy, right? We stopped in for 1 night, but we'll be back!!��

Clean and quiet campground. Staff were super friendly.
Aug 02, 2022
Overall campground wasn't bad. My biggest issue was the continued low voltage at my site and lack of follow up. I called office friday evening and was told someone would fix it but never heard back or saw anyone. Same issue sunday. On a hot weekend I went most of it with no AC. I understand things happen but lack of follow up was not good service. Paid for electricity I barely got.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We were in a 3 week heat wave & with everyone using 2 & 3 air ac units and max power, the load is tough. Our electric company does rolling brown outs which lowers the supply. we never said we would follow up as we have no control of the power co. there was nothing to follow up.

So far this is our least favorite KOA campground. We stay at KOA campgrounds all the time, this one is quite rundown sites are very very small not many sewer hook up sites and it’s pricey.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

You made the reservation 6 days before & asked for a sewer site. We told you none were available. You checked in you asked for a sewer site still none. Over 75% of our sites have sewer. You were on a 60' long site not sure how that is small. You did not get what you wanted so we are rundown!!!

Nice facility’s

We only had an overnight but Chris was very accommodating and our site was very nice as well.
Jul 27, 2022
The campground had everything we needed. We wanted to get closer to Acadia NP, but everything was full. The drive back and forth for the two days we were there was very doable, about 45 miles. We used their laundry while there. It was sufficient, and seemed to be fairly well kept. The attached restrooms seemed clean. The little restaurant in the same building as the registration had a great menu.
Jul 27, 2022
We called to make a reservation just a few hours before our arrival and they were able to accommodate us. Everyone we met was friendly and courteous. The washrooms and shower were immaculate. It was great to be parked next to a forested area. One of the best showers I've ever found in a campground. Everything was clean and neat.

Our lot was beautiful the problem was the electric did not work correctly. Owner called electrician and he did nothing! The owner knew that there was a problem but he put two of us side-by-side. The other couple left they were so upset. Because of the owners negligence and his attitude we will never return to that park. Lack of concern for us the customers.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We had a licensed electrician come out and look at the site. You never talked to me; you told my wife that he did not know what he was doing. He's licensed. You had 3 AC units on and were cooking with a microwave. We were in a heat wave and you laughed at him when he suggested you turn off one unit.
Jul 27, 2022
The KOA and staff were great! The reason for the low rating is simply due to the low electricity input. We were visiting while it was 5 days of high 90s. During that time my circuit shot off twice. One day our friends and I were powered up using his car generator. The second time my dog was in the trailer and it shut off. I was very thankful I installed Waggle which alerted me of the temperature.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Versant Power does rolling brown outs during heat waves. We asked everyone to conserve electric. Some did & some didn't and still had 3 ac units going. The rules clearly state that pets are not to be left unattended, for exactly this reason.

Great place nice owners friendly atmosphere!
Jul 26, 2022
This campground is beautiful and offers so much to do. The weekend activities were a lot of fun and we loved being able to enjoy the walking trails behind the campground. Everyone was super nice and friendly and having free food delivery, from their cafe right to our site, was terrific. Their gift shop always is fun and great ice cream at Holden A Kone. We look forward to our next visit!

The bathrooms were clean but looked dirty they need some love and some update the Internet Wi-Fi was horrible
Jul 25, 2022
Nice enough grounds, but bath hoses really need work. Would not recommend staying here until remodel is complete. Pool coping is loose and hazardous. Toilets plugged in bathhouse prevented use of any toilet until cleared. Had to wait an hour.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

You called at 7:45 AM and I was at the bathroom at 7:50 and unplugged it. I am sorry that I can not control people clogging the toilets. If we could get the materials when promised the bathroom remodel would have been finished before we opened for the season. Not sure how you waited a hour
Jul 25, 2022
From the minute we arrived we had NO power. Went to the office. Next day we couldn’t get the power to stay on. I must of gone down or called 6 times. I understand that it was the hottest weekend but No power at all. So bad I had to sit in the truck with the A/C going to cool down I will NOT stay here again!

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

You were on a 50/30/20 amp site. I'm sorry that the 30 amp site breaker went bad. We leant you a 50 amp to 30 amp converter & you refused to us it & decided to plug into the 20 amp. You had power but refused to use the 50 amp.

400 characters is not enough to explain how I was treated by the owner. Let's just say Chris lived up to his reputation as a "hot head". I guess he's friendly until a customer has a question about how they operate. To bad because the campground was clean and well maintained. A little tight but not to bad. I wouldn't go back just based on the customer service.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

No question how we operate. You were upset we charged more for a pull thru then a back in. You called & want to be near your friends. We did this and emailed the changes with new prices. Next day you were furious with a $4.21/day increase & demanded we give you your money back or get a bad review.

Owner was incredibly helpful and the site was perfect. Loved the ice cream shop. It was a one night stop on our travels north but can’t wait to visit again.

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.
