Cold River Campground

Campground is older, mostly all residents that live here full time. Pool was closed.

The park was easy to find. There is pavement all the way until you reach the park. Signage is adequate. Check in was efficient and friendly. The rules are fairly basic. The interior roads are dirt/gravel and in good condition.

Our site, 17, was a Pull Through that was just long enough for our Coach and Towed. Services (30 amp, water and sewer only) were to the left side. Distancing is not bad for a rural park. Some sites had a vegetation privacy barrier. Each site has a table and a fire pit. Our site was flat and even. Overall the park was tidy.

The park included wifi worked very well and cable TV provided about 27 channels.. We did not try to source any OTA TV. Satellite might be difficult in some sites because of the trees.. We did not use the washrooms or showers but we checked and found them clean as was the laundromat.

There is a playground and pool on site. (The pool was closed for the season during our stay.)

There are no restaurants or stores within easy walking distance but just a short drive away you can find food, shopping and convenience stores. We found this park to be an okay overnighter. We paid $59.35 per night (inc Tax) and we feel we received fair value. We would be back if in the area again. We would have given five stars but we were forced to use a full service site instead of just power and water. the reason given was because we needed a longer site for the coach and towed to fit.

Reservation was easy on Campspot (through Campendium). Check-in was all set for us when we showed up. The site was difficult to level but I was showed that they are trying to level all sites over the next year. The sites are all very close. There are trees but they sometimes restrict the length of the rig that will fit on a site. There is a picnic table and fire ring at each site. They have a nice pool (still open in early October). Antenna service was only fair with only CBS and PBS coming in clearly (plus some junk channels). The camp WiFi is quite good and I could stream a football game. AT&T has 2 bars LTE. The camp is close to Bangor and a Forest and the Maine Logging Museum. It is a couple hours drive to Campobello Island and the Maine Scenic Road 1. This is a good base for early leaf viewing.
