Campsite NYE

This place was super cute. Lake was beautiful and warm for swimming. Nice small beach close to tent site felt pretty private only one neighbour. Good shelters for when it’s raining.

RV 1 Armstrong

The lake is so beautiful, the Rec Hall was fun and nostalgic and helpful in the rain, and bathrooms ate close by. A relaxing and Rustic place to stay, especially for Scout families.

Cabin Esther

We really enjoyed staying in Esther cabin. It was plenty big enough for myself and my three kids, secluded but close to bathrooms, rec room and a beautiful lake. Beds were comfortable, everything was very clean. The caretakers were very helpful and accommodating . We will be coming back!

Mountaineer Camp in Massawepie Camp

Fantastic campsite on the shore of Massawepie Lake in the Adks. There is an old pump house with a deck where I had my morning coffee watching and listening to the frequent appearances of loons, great blue herons eagles and many other species of birds. Lots of other wildlife also.
