Papoose Pond Family Campground & Cabins

Papoose Pond will always be one of our favorites campgrounds in Maine! There are so many options to stay, from really nice lakeside cabins to more rustic little lodges to plenty of campsites with all the amenities want to barebones ones as well. They offer a ton of daily activities for kids in the summer along with tons of things to do in the campground. The cafe offers a lot of good food options as well as ice cream! With downtown Norway less than 20 minutes away you can get whatever else you need pretty easily. Papoose Pond is like a second home to my family and we recommend it to everyone.

We were a little skeptical on why the prices were so high but we completely understood once we arrived. The view from our campsite of the pond was amazing. They have a full store with all the essentials. Full cafe with ice cream also. Great place to take kids as it’s mostly family’s and they have events for kids all day long. The sites, like other reviews say, are a little close but everyone that camps there is super friendly and respects the quiet time. The bathrooms def need a makeover but I won’t hold it against them!

Campground has many things to do for all ages. The staff were all responsive. There were some very disrespectful teens making alot of noise and using loud obscenities 2 out of the 10 nights. While security did respond immediately they were unable to do much. I would recommend, but just be cautious if you are looking for 100% quiet "family time."

My family and I had a great time! We had a waterfront site, which was beautiful. The kids loved all of the activities available to them. Our family will definitely plan another trip there again.

We had a great week there, very clean, very friendly staff. So many things to do the kids don't have time to be bored. We stayed in a tent sight that had the stove and bathroom, site was spotless from people before us thanks to the staff. (I don't know if it was dirty but it was still spotless) Only issue we had was the power went out on our site one night after the office had closed so we called and the afterhours service answered then within 20min someone was there to fix it. I 100% recommend this campground
