Branch Lake Camping Area

This is a hidden gem. We really enjoyed this campground and the good people staying there. I would go back and stay longer next time.

We stayed 7 nights in site # 24. We had water & electric and there is a dump station onsite. Our site was waterfront we were right off the beach. The site was level and had some shade. If you have a small camper you can pull in forward and your door opens to the water. I couldn't pull in I had to back in yet having the dinette overlooking the lake was nice. Everyone was so nice and helpful. The lake has 26.5 miles perimeter and a maximum depth of 124'. We had loons come in close to our site. Saw an Eagle too.

We sat our chairs in the water and cooled down everyday and floated on our noodles. Great relaxing place.

The owners Shawn and Margaret do a nice job maintaining the campground and enjoy taking a dip at the swim beach like the rest of us.

There is a playground, a nice area to keep kayaks if your not on the water. There were adirondack chairs along the beach and the nice grassy area overlooking the lake. There are boat docks for smaller boats and some floating docks you can swim out to and enjoy.

There is a small store where the office is and a group bonfire pit every evening many of the people gather there.

There are some seasonal sites some are set up so nice.

They offer a pump out service twice a week which is nice.

The town of Ellsworth has everything you need. Walmart, home depot, the Global beverage store, laundry places, and best of all Martha's Diner. The best eggs benedict with ham. Shawn recommended it. Bangor isn't far either.

There is a vintage/antiques place called Relics that has great finds.

Dorr Lobster and seafood market serves lobster & crab rolls and sells fresh seafood. We bought some cooked, picked lobster meat and made lobster Alfredo for dinner. Very tasty!

Finn's Irish pub is good to. we had a good meal there it's on Main street. My husband had corned beef and cabbage I had Shepherds pie.

We found a great mobile Repairman that fixed our slide out while we were there. It broke the 2nd week of June and we couldn't find anyone to fix it. His name is Chris Burbelo his number is (207) 322-4526. He did a great job it was a cable slide and we'd had the motor & gear replaced before we left florida. It wasn't bolted to the wall correctly & it tore from the wall broke the chains and the cables all went slack. We spent 2 months with the slide stuck in. Chris works at a RV place in service and does side work on his spare time. He did several things for us and did a great job. Worth a million!

Thank you Shawn and Margaret for the great experience and Chris B for fixing our slide out.

Great staff/owners. Fellow campers were great. Met a lot of the seasonal campers, very friendly, who’s sites are very well managed.
Play ground for kids, very kid friendly, all were very respectful. Pet friendly. The lake access is great, swimming/beach area and boat launch with piers. Easy access to the lake.
Front office has a small store.
There are 50A, 30A, and tent sites. Not all 50A/30A have sewer connections but dump and honey wagon services are available.
Cell signals, Verizon & AT&T, we’re there but weak. Was able to have limited streaming via Verizon.
We have a 43’ 5th Wheel with a 7’ tote, the space easily accommodated us.
Great launching point from Bar Harbor to Rockford. That said we considered this very reasonably priced; $45 for 50A, large site, no sewer. We did not use the facilities but did look in; they are well managed.
