Kathy and Matt were awesome hosts. Unfortunately my husband got sick and Kathy and Matt did everything to try and keep us comfortable.
The Deer Lodge was well equipped, well decorated and very comfortable.
We hope to get back to Maine and Cold River Campground again.
The most amazing campground with fantastic owners. A lovely heated pool, themed weekends, a cute little store on site, laundry and showers on site, and a little indoor arcade. Honestly it was so good we booked another stay before we even left. Found ourselves wanting to go back the very next day! Can’t say enough good things 💗💕
Our first stay here to attend a concert in Bangor. If you like typical campgrounds for meeting neighbors, pool, etc, this is great. For people who like a little space and privacy while camping, not the best choice. However, you cannot beat the location. The owners and staff are super nice and helpful. They have everything you need from full service sites and propane. Great little camp store. We have been to campgrounds all over Maine, and the staff here are by far the nicest.
We absolutely enjoyed our time at Cold River campground. Everyone there was very nice and hospitable. It was very clean very well-kept. We enjoyed it so much. We’ve asked about a seasonal campsite. I am very happy that we were able to get one.
The camping site tents are spacious enough for two adults and one child.
Pros, sleeping on a full size bed instead of the ground/air mattress.
Electricity provided for the site allowing us to be able to run an extra fan.
Bathrooms on site were clean.
Wife kept jumping from the impacts of the acorns falling on the tent.
On site gift shop/store provides needed amenities.
Laundry on site plus a small game room and movie selection, along with books.
Conn's, bathroom showers were narrow. Very minimalist.
Mosquitoes have preferential tastes.
Don't be far away from the bathrooms.
If you don't mind bring surrounded by RV's and long term campers, it's a relaxing spot.
