Testimonials

We were on our way from New Hampshire to Bar Harbor when my husband’s truck broke down. Luckily it was right in front of Pleasant River. We pulled in and asked if they had any availability and fortunately they did! The staff that we met were so kind and friendly. Although this was not our original stop, we are so thankful we stumbled across this quiet and beautiful campground!
Brianna Clifton
This was honestly one of the best trips I’ve taken. I haven’t had laughs and experiences like this since I was a kid. Highly recommend
David Chanlatte
Amazing stay here, the staff were very friendly and welcoming. Super professional, would definitely come back here to stay. Recommend 10/10. If you are trying to find somewhere to unwind and enjoy some peace and tranquility, definitely the place to go. Can’t wait to go back
Damien Mohrmann
Stayed here with my wife and my brother! The staff was so helpful and this was one of the cleanest camp grounds we’ve stayed at! If you have a chance you have to check out the pool area and maybe curl up with a book from the book share corner in the main office!

Best stay ever!! Super close to Sunday River and local breweries. Very friendly staff. Clean grounds and restrooms. Canoes for rent if you didn’t bring your own.
