Pretty forest setting campground. Lake is beautiful..and there's a.new playground. People a friendly and relaxed. Seems very family oriented. Oh yes..the pizza here is pretty good.
Some sections the sites are crammed together while other sections the sites are huge and spacious.
Was disappointed to discover we did not have a 30 amp electrical box nor sewer. The electric "outlet" and water is in a strange location, 4 ' from the fire pit....good thing we had 2 extension cords and 2 water hoses. Use of AC is not permitted although I could hear it run in many of the seasonal sites...they have separate meters and perhaps 50 amp service...but transient campers cannot run AC.
The most frustrating thing is the dog barking.... Nobody seems to do anything about it....same big dog barking today as yesterday and last NIGHT. Plus a small dog this afternoon that I'm guessing was left in a camper because it is almost non-stop. The Campground owners should patrol on foot a couple times a day and put their foot down on the barking.

We have been coming to Lakeside Pines Campground since 1981, we missed 2 years in all of the 42 years. It's a family run campground right on Long Lake in Bridgton Maine. Our son grew up on this campground, we were living in New Jersey and after he grew up, married and lives in another state, we moved to FL and we are still coming here from FL.
The campground is beautiful, quiet and well taken care of. A little slow for the middle of June but the staff were amazing and very helpful. The views and the experiences were great. All of the facilities were very clean, a little older and much more rustic than some other campgrounds. Every bit of our week stay was well worth it. We were even able to bring our boat over and dock it for the week. Pretty amazing place.
What a great location as well only a short distance, 5 minutes to downtown Harrison, and 10 minutes to bridgton and the great old school drive-in.
Thank you so much Brenda!!!
The weather was incredible. It was like summer in Maine started last week. Booked a cabin for the week and thoroughly enjoyed the stay. Lots of swimming, played some darts, took pictures of the scenary.
We should have driven around first, before we were given a tent site. We were not given a choice. At first we paid for a cabin, but I couldn’t get myself to stay there, just in bad shape and I felt our tent was probably more sanitary. Most sites were for long time residents, most had left for the season so although it looked full, it was mostly empty. Road noise was an issue. Bathroom was clean, well supplied. Didn’t use showers. The best thing was the view.
