This campground is conveniently located off I-95 on Union Street. There are 52 shaded and sunny sites with some pull through’s 30 & 50 amp service, water, electric, sewer, dump station, restroom, showers, children s play area, rec hall, large pool, camp store, lending library. Good for touring the Maine “Down East” areas and Bangor itself. Campfires are allowed. This campground is convenient to everything in Bangor – it is a small campground with some seasonal sites. Nice playground and pool for children and easy and friendly check-in. We passed Stephen King’s house with his black gates and birds on top – interesting. Went to the new super Walmart in Bangor for food shopping and also went downtown Bangor to the park where the huge Paul Bunyan Statue is. We have seen this statue over the years and both of us believe that they must have painted it again within the past year. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We were very happy with this campground. The pool was great, the owners were great, the other campers were nice. The campground was quiet - yet it was a family campground that we and our three children LOVED. The only drawback is the air planes that fly over, the last one flew over around 9:30pm or so and then you do not hear any til the morning - around 6:30am. The lots were spacious, and fire rings at each site. The hayride is a nice event for the younger kids. We will definitely stay here again and again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Beware of this campground. Sites are not level and as another reviewer wrote they are grass and very muddy when it rains. When we pulled out of our site, my rig looked like I had been off road in it! We were given the wrong direction to pull into our pull thru site. The campground is old and in need of repair. A couple from Florida had to back their rig to a point where they could turn around and leave as the site they reserved had somebody else in it. NOT a campground for Big Rigs. Our motorhome is 37' and I would not want to be any longer and still get around in it. And there is NO WI-FI not to mention the low flying Jets landing at the airport just make this campground a DO NOT STAY HERE. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We chose this campground because of listed Wi-Fi availability. As is so often the case it was not working. Otherwise this is a decent campground with large open spaces. Sites are big enough with enough space between. Nearby airport gets quiet early enough in the evening. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We were glad this campground remained open in late October as we headed south out of Canada. Sites are grassy and got really muddy in the rain, but the 30-amp utility worked fine (50 amp costs extra to unlock), and we were able to get Dish satellite from the open site that we selected away from the trees. The wifi did not work at all, even next to the office. The property is pleasant enough, with a big grassy field that they have a music festival on during Labor Day, a pond, and lots of trees. It’s close to the airport so when the wind is blowing in a certain direction the airport noise got fairly loud. It’s also convenient to Bangor attractions and shopping. Best of all they accepted our Passport America for two nights, which brought the cost way down. Several old rigs scattered around diminished the atmosphere, but not badly. I would definitely stay here again at the Passport America rate. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The campground is somewhat old, but we were treated well each visit and the price is reasonable. Amenities were about average, the pool was clean but cool (outdoor pool) Wi-fi didn't work on our site. The kids loved the wagon ride. There is some aircraft noise as the campground is near the airport. It is convenient located for shopping in Bangor or a stopover on a trip south. We'll be back. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This place is a fine home base if you need to get business done in Bangor, or use it to see Acadia when the park is booked. Other than weak water pressure, we saw no problem whatsoever with this park. Yes, the pull through sites are somewhat tight, but not as bad as some KOAs we've been to. Sites are wooded, but we were still able to get a satellite signal. Grounds are clean, laundry facilities work great, staff is super friendly, and the scenery is really pretty. Sure it's not the beach Maine scenery, but it's a lovely park-like setting. We liked it a lot. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Stayed 1 night going home had no problems like last post staff helpful, very clean, near airport but not much noise, easy in easy out. Nice campground. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a nice park but has several drawbacks. The people are friendly and do a good job of maintaining the grounds. We stayed in a full hook-up site. 30 amp service kept shutting down (With only coffee maker and electric hot water on.) The big problem was that when the circuit breaker kicked off I had to go to the office and have the maintenance man reset it in the office building. Water pressure never got above 30 PSI. The roads are gravel and in bad shape. The biggest problem was living with "The sound of freedom" That is how Bangor chooses to refer to the jet noise from the Navel Air Base. The jets came thundering over at all times of the day and night. They are so loud and so close that our rig shook violently. I am really sorry to report the negatives of this park. But you should know and be prepared. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a large campground with pleasant grassy sites. Adjacent woods with trails for walking dogs. Our site was soft after recent rains, and
we almost couldn't get out of it. We left deep ruts. The sewer connection was about 10' behind the motor home, so we ended up using the
dump station on the way out. We would stay there again, but we would inspect the site before accepting it in wet weather. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a smaller campground. It's located about 10 minute away from I-95. On the down side it is near the Bangor Airport so you will here planes coming and going. It's not too loud but you hear it. Other than that it's a nice place. We've camped there several times and will probably go back again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is our second time staying here...Its a nice run quite campground..Its close to Bangor, the sites are very nice, the pool is great and the stay is friendly...Its not a big campground. We would definitely stay here again..cheers We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We were staying here two nights. They reserved our campsite to someone else. We were told we had to move. We were traveling with another couple in their motorhome, so this was not convenient. So we just decided to stay the one night and leave. When we left, their maintenance man was so incredibly rude to us because we were ten minutes late moving out, which was their fault to begin with. I would not recommend them. I don't think they like people from the south. We're from Florida. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a very friendly campground that has grass sites that need some leveling. They didn't offer off season rates despite the pool being closed. It is under the approach to Bangor airport but air traffic was light and didn't bother us. It is quiet, clean, easy to get to and would stay there again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a really good campground.We have been on the road for 3 weeks, and our last stop was here, and we said..YES..A nice pleasant spot..Grassy sites, friendly staff, close to town, very clean, nice pool.We are Canadian and have been to many spots.This is small but nice.If you have to stay close to Bangor, you should give this campground a try.We think you will like it. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Great staff. Extremely family friendly! Several planned activities for all. Nice paved roads throughout. Sites are close but not tight. Lots of room to walk, kids rode bikes, etc. Clean pool. Pets are welcome as well. Convenient to interstate, shopping entertainment. WI-FI available, but not free! Most definitely would stay again! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Pleasant Hill should be renamed Unpleasant Hill. We cannot comment on our stay because we were treated so rudely in the check-in office and by the owner while we were parked on the road waiting to check in. The owner was very snippy and Unpleasant and even told us that we could not turn around and ordered us to back out. Pleasant Hill is not very Pleasant. We left and went to a park down the road. We did find Paul Bunyon right down the road to be very pleasant and less expensive and we are staying there for a week. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We did not find Pleasant Hill to be a particularly pleasant place to stay. Arrived on a very hot day, assigned to a site with 30 amp service. Voltage was so low that we were unable to use A/C without danger of damaging the compressor. Nor could we use the microwave. Neighbors told us that power problems on particular sites have been long standing, however, we were not informed of this at check in. Requested and received refund for 2nd night (one miserable night was enough!) but owner was not apologetic or very nice about it - acted as if it was "our fault" that site was not adequate! Beware of low voltage at this park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Nice campground. Level and fairly wide pull thrus easily handling 40' 5th and toter. Nice office modem location. Good laundry. Very quiet. Great staff. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This campground started in 2000 on what was once 19 acres of farmland so that is why all the street names are named after vegetables that were grown on the farm. Shaded and open sites- 75 of them-but it sure looks like there were more. The campground was about 80% full the night we stayed here in mid September. It cost us $28 with a Good Sam discount and a $1.00 for internet. The campground is not for tenters mostly for RV’s with showers, laundry facilities, fax machine, internet, electric, water, sewer, cable, dump station. The small restaurant next to the campground (Hermon Family Restaurant) just recently opened up again with home cooked meals which was very good. There are a number of snowbirds that stay here for the summer months from Texas and Florida and quite a few Canadians. Bangor is the center of the Down East and campers do use this as a base to travel to a variety of different tourist sites. Check-in was friendly, fast and easy, and what I really liked is that they have typed out directions on small strips of paper on a board to everything that you can take. Good stay and we stopped here because of recommendations from another camper that we met and also park reviews. Since we had been in the north woods of Maine for two weeks without utilities we appreciated a night with it. Great for a lengthy stay or a one night just passing through stay. Open May 1 – October 15. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A very nice campground west of Bangor. This place had a fresh clean look. Quiet location several miles from highway noise. Gravel sites were fairly level. Would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Stayed in a water and electric only site. Nice friendly staff. Level site was back-in only but open with good access for big rigs. Small laundry by office and another at rear of park. Good gravel roads. Sewage dump was clean and convenient to exit. Would stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park is located out in the country in a community named Hermon, a suburb of Bangor. It is well maintained and the spaces are level and spacious. The bathrooms are spotless. There are only two laundry machines but it is adequate. We enjoyed activities put on by the park and were able to tour the Bangor area easily from the park's location. We would camp here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
What a find this place is! Only $30 plus a Good Sam Discount. Beautiful country setting with long, level spacious sites. Immaculate grounds. Didn't use restrooms but they looked immaculate as well. Wi-Fi was very good. No pool or playground so it's a great place for adults. Also a huge dogwalk around the entire perimeter. Would definitely stay here again when in the area. A couple of weeks would be nice! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice, well kept, very friendly staff and extra clean showers and bathrooms. Large pull throughs and back ins. They charge extra for Wi-Fi but we did not need it and had a charge for "clothes". Did not know what that was for but didn't mind after seeing the nice grounds and friendly staff. Will definitely stay here whenever in the territory. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Rate was combined discounts for 5 nights Passport America and 2 nights Good Sam. Really nice park, long pull-thrus, nice separation between sites. Roads and sites are gravel and well maintained. Whole park exhibits great care is being provided. Gets a 9 only because they do charge extra for Wi-Fi and using AC, have 30Amp so no extra for that. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed here in June of 09. The sites were very level, and the campground was well maintained. Would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice people, well maintained and good location to see the area. Easy drive to Acadia. We would use this campground again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great park for a stay in the Bangor area. Can combine PPA and Escapees discounts. They don't know how to use their reservation system well or it isn't good as they are always moving people into slots then moving them again in two or three days because of units coming in. They would be better off not assigning people to specific spots until they were at the campground. Large group of people who spend the summer there. They charge extra for 50 amp and then charge extra for A/C on top of the 50 amp charge! That was why the lower rating. Will stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A nice place to stay overnight. They were sort of disorganized though. They were putting RV's in overflow for 2 to 3 days and letting other units in on sites without reservations. It didn't make sense. They moved us off our spot to overflow and then immediately back on. That was a nuisance. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a terrific park with excellent management, and is a great spot traveling to or from the Canadian Maritimes. Nicely maintained, very clean, lots of work kampers all who are extremely friendly. Is this an Outdoor Resorts? No. Is it a great park at a very reasonable price? You bet. We stayed here almost a month and loved it. Also not too far from Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice park and staff. From the time you arrive to the time you leave, the staff is very helpful and informative. Nice clean large sites with cable and WiFi! There is also a very good restaurant next door to the park. We will be back. We stayed with Passport America Discount. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is an extremely neat and clean park that accepts Passport America. The staff was very helpful. We had some RV problems and they helped direct us to a place to buy the screws we needed and then provided us a drill and urged us not to rush. There is a $1 per day WiFi charge which was occasionally sluggish. We were very pleased with our large site. We were amazed with most parks we had been staying at were less than half full where this park had RVs in overflow every day but one. Would recommend this park if you are in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a very clean and well maintained campground. The interior roads are graded gravel and level. The graveled RV sites are long, wide and level. While children are allowed, I did not observe any during our stay. This is probably due to no family oriented activities offered in the campground or located in the immediate surrounding area. The staff are friendly and helpful; however, I did notice, while registering, that the female manager was slightly stern towards RV customers and authoritarian in her directions to other staff members. The facilities are well maintained, but, the 2 very small add on, after thought, open air laundry facilities are totally inadequate for a RV park of this size. That may be why I observed so many unsightly undies and other laundry hanging from RV awnings and ladders through out the park. The $22/night rate was obtained by combining the Passport America week day rate with the Good Sam 10% discount rate over the Labor Day weekend. This was the best nightly rate we have been fortunate enough to obtain during our summer in Maine. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
To us, this is the perfect park. Very affordable. Nice long pull thru's, free cable, $1/day wi-fi and we can even get our dish signal!! The spots are very level, it's a very clean, well maintained park. You see the staff out working constantly. The staff in the office are very helpful and friendly and there's no question they won't try to answer for you. We'd recommend this park to anyone, and since they're almost always full we're not the only ones recommending it!! Call early for your reservation! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Pretty much the same as the previous post. Large, manicured, level sites. Very clean/neat park. If you don't need a pool, this park is great. Country setting but close enough to sightseeing, stores and towns. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Been on the road for 10 months now and this is one of the best we have stayed at. Well looked after by very friendly and helpful staff. Great value (cheap really). Cable free and wifi only $1 per day and works great at site. Roads good and sites level. Well patronized restaurant at front which we will try tonight. Only complaint anyone could have is that there is not a pool but that is not a concern on our account. Highly recommended and would return without hesitation. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Friendly helpful owners, nice park, everything was clean and good condition. It was very nice having a restaurant in front of the park to get away from our RV cooking. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Extremely friendly, helpful staff; a pleasure to deal with every time. All sites are gravel, level, full hook-up and many are pull-thrus; we have a 30 ft class A. We had boatloads of rain during our four day stay but the gravel sites and interior roads drained well. Wi-Fi worked perfectly for just $1 a day. You can wash your RV at your site for $10. Laundry is a bit expensive and the room small but very clean with everything in good condition. Bathhouses were clean and serviceable. The park overall was very clean, well-groomed and quiet--perfect for us. The Cole Transportation Museum nearby was a terrific place to visit. Passport America park. We'll stay here anytime we're in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park is very well kept. We arrived rather late, after 7:00 P.M., due to an unforeseen mechanical problem that held us up. The folks at the check-in counter were among the most pleasant and helpful we've ever met up with. The park was full, but we were offered an overflow site. This had 30 amp service, and was adjacent to the bathrooms. We were told that we could dump and could fill our tanks with water, if needed. The bathrooms and showers were immaculately clean, as is the entire park. The only drawback that I could see is that there isn't a pool. Reservations are recommended. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
