    This park is one of my favorite park in Maine. I went around 1:00pm it was not crowded , the entrance fee is $5 per person , the restrooms area are SO clean. The park itself is well maintained, lots of great views and space to spend a relaxing time.The beach is rocky but it has an area where you can walk on sand. The water was not too cold they also offer kayaks and please do the trails are well marked and you will have an amazing experience!

    We tent camped here for two nights. It was quiet during the time we went (Sept 11-13), so not too many camping. The site was nice and spacious, including a picnic table and ring for a campfire. Sites are well spaced out too, and there are many large boulders in between. Fun for kids to climb! Bundles of wood are available at the checkin booth for $6. Bathrooms/showers are also available and very spacious. There is a downhill trail leading to the lake, with a spot to swim, small playground for kids, picnic tables and grills, and a trail to walk. They also offer kayak, boat, and canoe rentals for $3 an hour per boat (as of 2022). There are bathrooms by the lake, as well, and spots to rinse off. This place is peaceful and beautiful, thickly wooded with views of the mountains when you're at the lake. You can hear the loons on the lake at night!

    Beautiful place to camp and to enjoy the fresh air! Clean sites and fresh potable water. Bathrooms are pristine. The little rock formations are beautiful here, I enjoyed the creativity of the picnic tables next to the stones. Gorgeous view of the lake viewing Borestone mountain. Nice clear water and clean beaches, and it also has a fun playground for kids! Very friendly and helpful park rangers here. Will help you out whatever they can. Can't wait to come back next year!

    Over all, a very nice campground. We stayed for a week in August of '23. There's a nice beach/swimming/playground/picnic area with ample parking for day use only. There are decent bathrooms/showers with hot water. There are lots of hiking trails all around the park. My only complaint was how rough the dirt roads were within the park. The numerous potholes did a number on my old pickup truck's suspension!

    Had a great day at the beach with the grandkids here. Sandy beach. Little bit rocky in spots in the water but not bad. There was a small playground and areas you could set up for a day of bbq and be in the shade if your not one for being in direct sunlight all day. Fun for all here.

    Nice park and beach, rangers kept bothering us about generator use, even when it wasn't running. Site was raked but still had trash from previous campers.

    Our campsite was big and clean. There is a picnic table and fire area to use. They also sell firewood at the gate for $6 a bundle. We had a wonderful weekend the kids loved exploring the woods and swimming.

    Great state park, nice sites, lake is great, excellent hike in the park out to the point. Some sites have power and water, camp wood and ice at control station at reasonable prices, staff super friendly.
