Campground Policies

Check-in: 1:00 PM – 6:00 PM | Check-out: 11:00 AM As a courtesy to other guests, arrivals after 8:00 PM are not permitted.

The site you choose may not be available based on occupancy unless you locked your site during the online booking process. Please review your booking confirmation carefully.

At least one guest must be 21 years of age to book a site.

Campground Speed Limit: 5 mph on all roads — strictly enforced. Watch for children.


 

Quiet Time: 10:00 PM to 8:00 AM. You will be asked once to comply. A second violation will result in being asked to leave the park immediately.

Facilities:

  • Bath house: 24-hour access
  • Laundry: 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM
  • Campground office: 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM

 

Children: Parents are responsible for their children at all times. Campers under 16 must remain on their family’s campsite between 9:00 PM and 7:00 AM, and must be accompanied by an adult if leaving for restroom use during those hours.


 

Guests & Visitors

You are responsible for your visitors’ conduct. Please notify the office of expected guests; visitors should check in at the office before entering the park. Guests should leave before 10:00 PM. Visitors remaining after 10:00 PM will incur an $8 per person overnight charge and a $5 per vehicle parking fee.


 

Fires & Firewood

Campfires in fire rings only. Extinguish fires completely before leaving or going to bed. Flame height must not exceed 24″ above the top of the containment ring. No fires after 9:00 PM.

Firewood is available at the camp store. Foraging for wood or cutting trees, branches, bark, or other vegetation is not permitted. Do not take wood from the deck without permission.

Fireworks, vehicle washing, off-road parking/driving, and riding of motorbikes or ATVs are prohibited.


 

Your Site

You have paid for one campsite. Ask staff for help locating boundaries if they are unclear before setting up. Leave your site in the same condition as you found it. Report any cleanliness concerns to staff before setting up. Place all trash in the dumpster.

Sewer connections require the use of donuts or elbows.

Reservations over 15 days require campers insurance. Email a copy to info@betheloutdooradventure.com.


 

Trash

  • Do not put food or trash in your fire ring — a $25 fee applies.
  • Do not leave trash outside your tent or camper. Place it in the large bin outside the main lodge. Excessive trash left behind will result in a $150 charge.
  • State law prohibits dumping food waste anywhere except trash receptacles. Please scrape dishes before washing to avoid clogging sink drains.

Alcohol: Alcoholic beverages may be consumed at campsites only. Underage consumption or public intoxication will not be tolerated and will be handled by the Oxford County Sheriff or Maine State Police.

Do not approach the river via the steep embankments; that area is protected by the Shoreland Protection Act. Poison ivy is also present in unmowed areas. River access is available under the large trees in the southwest corner of the campground.

If your dog causes complaints, you will be required to find alternative housing for the pet or leave the campground without a refund.
