Flat Rock Point Site
Such a cool spot. I’m on a solo camping trip but can’t wait to come back during warmer months with friends and utilize the beautiful swimming spots that surround this place!

Flat Rock on the River Big Oak
At first I was "upset" at myself for paying $75 a night to camp!! We camp frequently and have always paid on the average of $35 a night. All my worries of the excessive money spent melted away as soon as we arrived! THIS was THE MOST beautiful, well-maintained site we have ever stayed at. The tiki torches were a nice touch as well as the beautiful fireplace with the cooking rack above and the wooden "stools." The porta-potty was sparkling clean and the unlimited supply of firewood was an awesome added benefit. Also, the sound of the moving water in the river was a welcomed sound at night. I am from Maine and we visit many times a year but have never been to Winterport. There isnt much to do which made it an ideal weekend to relax. The purpose of our trip was to see our sons stunt show at the Dragway in town and we did find the quaint little winery and consignment shop also. The old houses were also beautiful to look at. We did wish it had more to offer in the way of restaurants but we figured it out!

Suspension Tent on the River
We had a great stay on Claude's land. The suspension tent was fun, and the space was absolutely lovely. We had the whole place to ourselves on this September weekend and it was just amazing to explore the river, relax in the sun out in the rocks, ... The site was way back in the woods, but easily accessible, and had everything we could have needed, including lots of firewood, the nicest firepit we've evenly seen at a Hipcamp, and spotless port-o-potties. For some reason Hipcamp just gave me GPS coordinates, but Claude's gave us clear directions and, ince mentioned, there was a clear sign out at the street. We loved our stay and cannot wait to return.

Suspension Tent on the River
I visited the Suspension Tent site for a couple days last weekend with my two boys - 8 and 6 years old. The location is amazing. The site was in great condition. We had a great time hiking up and down the river, fishing, exploring, and enjoying the camp. We will definitely be going back again.
The only bit of feedback to consider is that the suspension tent seemed to be prone to taking in some water when it rained. Please make sure it's secure and fully covered. Or set up another tent for added security.

Beautiful and Peaceful
My family really enjoyed our camping stay at Flat Rock. It was one of the nicest camping spots we’ve been to. There were campers at the other sites, but there was plenty of space between. The large fire pit and tiki torches were a nice touch. The river view was beautiful and we all enjoyed the swimming hole. I would highly recommend!!

Suspension Tent on the River
My favorite camping spot
This place is pure magic. We were lucky enough to be completely alone (a few other sites are nearby). Even if people were there, each site is private. Easily accessible, 20 minutes from Bangor and an hour from Acadia. I cannot wait to go back. The river is amazing, many swimming spots. The small details Claude added to each site were perfect. Amazing cook grill, tiki torches, big trash can, kayaks, tubes for floating, stumps made into tables and chairs. Truly an unforgettable place.
