Open all year; 9:00 a.m. to sunset daily unless otherwise signed at gate. Fee Charged. Lake St. George State Park is located 16 miles west of Belfast and 25 miles east of Augusta on the northwest shore of beautiful Lake St. George. State Route 3 ran parallel and close to the lake, which was originally part of a farmstead. The centerpiece of the park is Lake St. George itself. Some of the park's campsites are located right on the shoreline where a morning cup of coffee can be enjoyed while watching the sun rise over the crystal clear water. Loons are frequent visitors and their signature call can often be heard at night. The lake is 1,017 acres and numerous undeveloped islands dot the main basin of the lake. Fishing for landlocked salmon and brook trout is a popular sport. The day-use area is a short walk from the camping area where picnic tables and grills are available close to the beach. A lifeguard is on duty. The day-use area has swings, volleyball, basketball, and a sandpit where younger children play. Three to five miles of hiking trails are within walking distance from the campground.
Located on Maine route 3 in Liberty.
5$ a day per person for day access for Maine state residents. Can't beat that! Lots of picnic areas with charcoal grills. One big pavilion with a large grill and kitchen area. Nice playground area for the children. There is a roped in swimming area with a lifeguard on duty. There are clean changing and bathroom facilities on site. Campsites are spacious with some right on the water! Plenty of wood bundles and ice available for purchase. Great place to go for the day or camp for a few nights! Well worth the value!
Crystal clear water and beautiful scenery, blueberry bushes were in full bloom and wafting a lovely scent through the area when I visited. Good places for families to relax and let their kids play at the jungle gym, more of a family oriented area than anything else
This rating is for a day visit. I cannot speak to the camping experience here.
The park itself is small but very well manicured. There is a large lawn set on a small hill which is great for picnics. There also are tables with charcoal grills all along the coast of the lake.
There is no beach, but relatively easy access to swim via 3 rough cut stone steps about 25 feet long.
There is a large stick built wall less pavilion building with picnic tables and cabinets. This also has a larger grill setup.
There is a good size playground, complete with swings.
You look across the lake to the far shore but there is enough open water for an excellent breeze.
There is a large outbuilding with restrooms. I cannot speak to the cleanliness as I did not use them. The rest of the park was well maintained so I would hope they are as well.
They do fence off a swimming area with a buoy line.
All in all, a very nice place to visit, you can hear the road but that does not take away from the beauty of the place.
Lowkey campsite for those who don't need all the bells and whistles. Friendly staff. Great to be able to rent kayaks. Solid playground. Bathroom shower combos are ok. For tenters, some sites have little to no trees so if the weather is wet, then your normal rain coverage plans will have to adjust.
