The tent & cabin were both very clean & comfortable. The campground community bath house (when staying in a tent or cabin w/out bathroom) was also kept clean. The cabins could use a bit more privacy - all the huge, gorgeous, picturesque windows are problematic as (particularly in the winter) there's several other cabins w/full view into your windows. It would be nice if it was more of a private / woods view than looking into other cabins. That said, my daughter & I enjoyed our time and have been repeat customers. Would give it 4.5 stars (Yelp doesn't give half star option, but I needed to account for the lack of privacy in several of the cabins in the area we were in.). Overall a great option & we'll likely be back!

What to do in Freeport? VISIT THE DESERT!…read more This has been on my list for years and it did not disappoint. I kinda found it odd to pay $21 to explore the dunes but here's what we got for the price: - unlimited train rides - Ability to wander the desert - Executed their scavenger hunt - the kids rode a massive slide (unlimited) - we explored a fair/troll maze - dug for fossils - visited an old gas station - walked through an old home - unique playground This place isn't just the desert (and I don't mean the mini golf.) It's a little hidden wonder that offer families things to do. My kids (4 and 13) were fully immersed in the experience. The oldest was keeping the youngest involved in the scavenger hunt which he loved looking for the 'red' guy. The hands on portions fully captivated them. I was worried the walking might be a lot for the little guy but he didn't complain not once. It was explorative and interesting. Keep in mind, on hot days I bet you feel it! Bring sunblock, wear hats, closed toed shoes are best and water. Also, the big blue slide in the rear of the desert shoots little ones out like a cannon! I thought he broke his arm but he was ok! You've been warned.

So, I penned my arrival time, parking slot and attached the fee and slipped it through the mail slot. The second day, the spring thunder was rolling across the sky, filling all the upper and lower spaces with it's rumblings, then a moment of faded distance, followed by a final wrathful roar coming from behind the clouds. For you see, more and more - rightly or wrongly, I'm developing my desire to be alone with the sights and sounds of nature. From thunder clap to the little water crystals of mornings first dew, it all makes me feel a special way. As if nature is harmonizing within the depths of my souls mood. I'll sit for hours watching nature lay before me in a hush and there is no sense of movements, but I feel the flow of vital natural energy that no humans can disturb. It's here, below the trees sitting upon the grass which seems to offer soft words of comfort and sympathy. And now, in these moments - any human that might pierce suddenly upon my natural mood, seems to effect me greatly. Because one bad thought - problems in NYC, etc - and my souls tranquility is thrown into confusion.

It's rocky, so swimming shoes are a must. There's a big rock to sunbathe on. It disappears when the tide comes in. Plenty of green space for relaxing flying kites-throwing a football, trails for walking/biking, a big white gazebo with live music in summertime. Picnic tables and a porta potty. Pammy's Ice Cream Parlor is at the end of the road and is a MUST.

The Town Mall (a lovely elongated green space with an abundance of trees, flora, and the Maine…read moreStreet Gazebo in what's known as the Federal Street Historic District) is a great area that divides Maine Street (Brunswick's amazing strip of locally owned businesses) and Park Row (where those beautiful homes built in the 1700 and 1800's are). I like this centralized park - despite the constant flow of traffic and the bustling business happening around it, it stands still and peaceful right in the middle of everything. I also really appreciate the way the city uses the space: I've been here for festivals, food trucks, family-friendly BBQ's, kid-centric events, concerts, farmers' markets, and more. It really does feel like the perfect meeting place for the community. (Side note: I'm pretty sure if Stars Hollow - y'know, where Gilmore Girls takes place - was an actual city... it might be Brunswick. Stars Hollow has a lovely town square in the center of it [check!] where there's a picturesque gazebo [check!] where awesome, seasonal events take place throughout the year [check!]. I might be identifying a lot of New England towns, I guess, but to me, Brunswick Hollow or Starswick are very nearly identical.) Anyway - come! Enjoy something going on by the city, or a picnic in the park, or some sunshine on a park bench in the middle of a day of shopping... just enjoy the space!

While it may be controversial, I'm glad they moved the food trucks to the lower lot. It's less crowded when you arrive and less crowded near the food trucks - meaning only people getting food are in the area, vs people walking/running through with animals and kids that aren't going to the food trucks. It's also less noisy not being next to the generators. We love the food trucks there and will continue to enjoy them while also enjoying the peaceful hill. The kids in the family really enjoy the canons and the playgrounds. The times we have gone the playgrounds have been clean - thankfully no needles or trash anywhere to be seen.
