Unfortunately, it's been several years now and while it pains me to say this, Spencer Pond Camp has completely lost everything that once made it so special. This used to be my favorite place in the world. We visited every year, often multiple times, for a decade. It was a peaceful retreat with cozy cabins tucked into the woods, where you'd wake up to the sound of loons, occasionally spot a moose wandering through camp and truly feel immersed in nature. The grounds were beautiful, simple and thoughtfully cared for. We looked forward to visiting all year. Our last visit was heartbreaking to say the least. The natural beauty and serenity have been replaced with clutter, visible trash EVERYWHERE and a general sense of neglect. A large communal building was constructed right in the middle of camp, changing the feel of the property and we listened to construction noise for hours during our stay. After that came the sound of a generator from Glens cabin (against the rules, according to him), his dog off leash (also against rules) repeatedly wandering into our cabin area which upset our dogs, and an overwhelming smell from an unkempt chicken area. The dock area with a kayak/canoe rack as broken and just left there in pieces. The camp yard is no longer a place you want to hang out, rather just quickly walk past to get to your cabin. Glen claims to be a Maine guide, someone you'd expect to have a deep respect for the outdoors and for preserving places like this. He clearly doesn't respect nature or this place at all. I hope no critters eat any of the garbage left around. It feels like the camp has been treated as someone's personal property rather than the quiet wilderness retreat so many people fell in love with. Looking back at old photos honestly breaks my heart. We no longer feel it's worth the long drive or the cost and I SINCERELY hope things change someday and he takes note of the "regulars" who are no longer visit, and why. This place deserves so much better than what it has become. I only hope that someday it will be restored to the beautiful, peaceful place so many of us fell in love with.

I thoroughly enjoyed the charm of my rustic cabin and carefree days. The hosts, Holly and Glen, were very accommodating and fun to talk with.

All of the guides were really nice. Nick especially deserves all of our gratitude. He was very knowledgeable and you could tell he knew was he was doing. Made sure our entire convoy were comfortable and well fed. About halfway during our expedition we stopped and had some awesome BBQ lunch. The food was awesome!!!

We had a party of 12 staying at the Airbnb lodging from Friday to Sunday and participated in the rafting on Saturday. Weather is hard to plan for but in August, it felt like the chances of warm/hot weather would be decent. Unlucky for us, it was quite cloudy and chilly-hovering 60's. Rafting Experience 5/5 - Everybody had a great time!! Strapped on helmet and lifejackets to start the day and then took a bus up the river. Each boat had a 'guide' and our guide (Bryan/"Viking") was awesome. He told us great stories and facts throughout the ride and helped carefully steer us through some intense rapids. The last.. maybe half hour.. of the rafting was fairly quiet and not intense at all. This would've been fine if it was hot and sunny but the weather was super cloudy, chilly, and windy. Not ideal when you're drenched. Airbnb Lodging 3/5 - Plenty of clean beds that could fit a large party. They also had a large dining room table and an open kitchen. We were not able to get Wi-Fi unfortunately and the tv didn't connect to anything. Not a fan of the carpet flooring in one of the two bathrooms. Food 5/5 - They served lunch right after the rafting experience and the food was great!! We had the option of beef, chicken, and vegetarian. Came with rice pilaf, coleslaw, bread roll, and a slice of cake. Everything was yummy, some folks were able to get seconds as any leftovers were going to be tossed. Service 5/5 - Staff were all super friendly and happy to help. Knowing we're not from the area, they tried to offer us solutions to any problems we ran into. Great group of folks to work with. Location.. 1/5 - We had a huge group (3 cars) going up from Boston after work on a Friday (about 4.5-5hr drive) so we all got to the area very late at night. The drive wasn't that bad but finding the Airbnb Lodging was very difficult. Since it was after work hours, late at night, nobody picked up when we tried calling for assistance. There are just not enough guidance around the area to show customers where to park or how to find their lodging. We had to circle the site a few times before we realized where the building was. On our second night, we encountered a couple that were lost and had trouble looking for their lodging area.
