Hear what real campers who have stayed at Patten Pond Camping Resort have to say about their stay

Nadia Viles

Staff was super friendly & accommodating

Me & my family spent a week here over the 4th & it was wonderful! The staff was super friendly & accommodating. The bathrooms & showers were very clean. It seemed like almost everytime I went up to the bathhouse there was a staff member in there cleaning something. We rented the paddle boards & went out to visit the islands on the pond. The beach area was clean & the kids loved playing on the dock & the warf. They even let us have a little wedding celebration on the beach area & let us use their event building for our BBQ reception. It was VERY low key under 20 people but they were more then happy to accommodate us! Definitely recommended & we will be coming back. Thanks so much Patten Pond Campground!

This is a Beautiful Resort.

This is a BEAUTIFUL Resort. The drive back to the resort is deceiving. However, once you’re there, it’s beautiful . The sights are very natural, you have to watch the boulders if you have a slide out The shower area is HUGE. Laundry room is Great and you can either sign up for the Tumble ap or use Credit card. Very clean. One worker was Such a Great Help. She recommended local places for seafood and Pizza. For this Out of Towner, it was Deeply Appreciated.

Enjoy the beach area

We will be back again! Always a great stay! Got to enjoy the beach area this year and do a little fishing, which was nice! Friendly people and quiet. Very convenient to anywhere you want to go in Ellsworth, Blue Hill, and Surry. You can be in Bar Habor and Acadia, or Bangor in less than an hour.

Patten Pond Campground was great

Patten Pond Campground was great!! Our site #305 was level, nicely treed and just a short walk down to the sandy beach. Loved the loon calls in the morning. Bath house/showers were convenient and clean. I had read some negative reviews and they were completely unfounded. They actually have quite a few returning customers. Very friendly place. we would definitely stay at Patten Pond again!!

We like everything here

We like everything here… easy rsvp, super easy to find and check in! Kind helpful staff… clean organized campground with many sites filled with families and retired folks. Our 65′ pull in site was level, wide enough for our Class A rig…. but we do feel a little on top of each other, a little vegetation between sites could help with that. Great location with beautiful lake views.

Excellent campground to stay at when visiting the Maine coast in the summer.

Excellent campground to stay at when visiting the Maine coast in the summer. Convenient to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor without all the crazy crowds. The campground can accommodate just about any size RV. Nice lake swimming area.
