There's no doubt this is a popular spot for the week of July 4th. This is my second year coming here and not a single thing has changed between the two visits. That's honestly the beauty of it. It's run by a family of siblings and their nephew and they are all extremely hardworking and friendly folks.
Let me preface by saying it's a smallish campground that offers plugs for RV's to set up shop as well as a handful of one floor ranch-style cabins that contain the bare minimum. Not to say that's a bad thing-- besides, the point of a camp getaway is to feel unplugged and enjoy the experience/nature around!
The RV's are set up pretty close next to eachother and as for the week of the 4th, there's a lot of families in soccer chairs/grilling/playing games and such all day outside.
Across the board:
- Extremely warm and inviting hospitality from Susan (one of the main kitchen workers who also runs this place) and her family
- Solid view and access to Sebec Lake
- Communal basketball court, cornhole, and bathrooms in the center of the marina but all of these are up on a semi slanted hill and in a patchy and rocky area of grass. But that adds to the fun-- bringing you back to old school days. Nothing glamorous but definitely could be worse
- There's a hill you can walk down to see the dock and while doing so you'll pass a dirt volleyball court tucked away
- There's a restaurant to order lunch and dinner, as well as a little office that serves as the check-in place and mini gift shop of trinkets if you will
The restaurant:
- The food is decent. Nothing fancy but also a good option if you don't feel like running to the store. There's really no other "takeout" food options nearby so it's either you cook your own food at your place along Sebec Lake or you go by the marina for food (whether you're staying here or not)
- There was 20 of us (yes 20) and Susan was so friendly and ON TOP OF IT with our food and drink orders. The food was definitely better than we expected and it came out in a reasonable time, especially given there was 20 of us eating at once (although I'd suggest you call ahead for something like pizzas since those take more time here)
- See menu photos for pricing. It can be pricey but again, there's nothing else really around (i.e. we ordered a fisherman's platter and it was $45)
- Plenty of tables and chairs to comfortably eat and hangout
- Solid selection of drinks and alcoholic beverages for sale in their fridge
- Overall it's very open and has lots of natural light in the restaurant
Our cabin stay (which might not be the case for all the other cabins but it could be):
- It's definitely got everything you need to get by
- Shower, toilet, sink, mirror, and towels provided. Although, the bathroom has no vent so you either have to leave the bathroom door open or open the window to air it out which wasn't too effective from a timing perspective but it did the job for us!
- 3 bedrooms supplied with a full sized bed, a dresser, nightstand, and lamp
- there is no A/C and it was 90° almost every day this week so it felt like a sauna but particularly at night it was really hot trying to sleep so be sure to bring multiple fans!!
- Kitchen utensils, plates, glass cups, fridge, sink, old school TV, couches, dining table provided as well
All in all it's a campsite that has a lot going for it in Sebec, for a cheap cost if you're looking to experience a getaway/go camping in an authentic fashion. :) read more
