    Dog Friendly!
    Courtney R.

    We had a wonderful time at Maine Forest Yurts! The owners were kind, responsive, and helpful. The yurt was well maintained, clean, and spacious. We were able to take 30 minutes drives to Portland and a beautiful state park. The yurt has a stove/oven, a gas grill with utensils, cooking utensils/vessels, a drip coffee pot, a tea pot, bowls/plates/mugs/wine glasses, and a sink; this is all very convenient. And, they're dog friendly! We stayed in the Hemlock Ridge Yurt. There were two bunks beds that were very comfortable, and one queen sized futon that was less comfortable; I would suggest using the futon as a couch and bringing an air mattress. There's plenty of space for an air mattress. The canoes were fun; the pond is cute and there's a lot of little frogs and fish to see. The man-made pond for swimming is still under construction a bit, but it was fun. There's a little bit of sand to sit/play on. And you're close to a state park lake with a beautiful beach for some serious swimming; and the yurts are not too far from the coast. No one of us, including the dog, got a tick. We used bug spray the whole time, and we were all fine. It definitely wasn't super buggy when we were there. I definitely recommend keeping up with the bug spray! There are some things you should consider if you're going to stay here: 1. The yurt has an outhouse, and there are no regular toilets. I actually didn't mind the outhouse. It was clean and didn't really smell bad (of course it has a smell, but it really wasn't that bad). My parents came to visit the yurt after refusing to stay there due to the outhouse; they both admitted it wasn't that bad. My advice, don't get caught up on the fact that the yurt has an outhouse, it's actually quieter than a regular toilet. 2. The yurt has a solar shower. I had never used one before, and I was in for a surprise! It's a plastic sack that you fill with water, and it has a little tube coming out the bottom so you can spray water on yourself. The sack heats up with sunlight. This is obviously not the fanciest shower you'll ever use, but it's not so bad. I recommend heating up some water in the yurt, and then filling the bag. It's worth the effort! I also recommend bringing body wash instead of bar soap. This is because you stand on a wooden palette while in the shower; if you drop the soap, it ends up falling in between slats and getting covered in sticks and dirt. Therefore, bring a bottle of body wash instead. If the solar shower bothers you, you can always go to the beach and use the beach showers, or you can rent a "pool pass" at a local hotel and use the locker room there. 3. Most cars cannot make the trek to the actual yurts. The property is beautiful, but very hilly and rugged. Most cars cannot park next to the yurt; you have to park at the ranger station. They provide you a wagon that can climb, and the owners gave our stuff a lift in an ATV for check in/out. So we were able to use the wagon after returning from grocery shopping and what not. It was not a big deal for us not to park next to the actual yurt; the walk is short and the ATV did most of the heavy lifting. Ultimately, my boyfriend proposed to me by the lake! :) We had a wonderful time and we'll definitely be back.

    Went to this campground as a kid growing up with my family every summer until around age 10, but we…read morestopped going because we moved away from the area. I recently was back in town and decided to have a nostalgic stay at the campground. I called the office about a week and a half before I planned on visiting and they only had one site (#21) left. I told the manager Jack, that I'd take it! Initially only planning on visiting Tues thru Thurs, they require 4 nights minimum stay in the summer, with the reservation starting on a Sunday. So I reserved Sun thru Thurs, which was the only way to guarantee the site. My other option was to call that day I planned on arriving and hoping/praying the site was still available. It turned out better this way because I just started my vaca two days earlier. Only way to make a reservation is to call during office hours, 9am to 6pm. Both the check-in and check-out time is at 11am. The campground itself isn't that big, and I would guess there's no more than 10 sites available for weekly rentals, as it's mostly seasonal trailers/campers that occupy the remainder of the sites the whole season the campground is open. They open for the season around May 15th, and close for winter around Oct 15th. Site #21 is nestled between two permanent trailer sites, and sits low on the terrain. This means it will flood a little when it rains, but seems to dry out pretty quickly once the rain stops. It is fairly shaded by the pine trees, so it's was nice & cool during our stay. There is one main bathhouse with a men's bathroom (showers inside), a women's bathroom, and a separate women's shower room. There are also two individual bathrooms located behind the office. The showers are $.25 for 5 minutes of shower time. It's just enough time for a quick shower, but bring a 2nd quarter if you think you need a bit more time. The water is hot, which is nice as I'm used to showering w/ warm to cool water at most campgrounds, and they've added curtains to create a changing area outside each shower (new addition from when I was a kid). If camping in a tent, bring an air mattress or padding to sleep on as the ground is hard, and rocky. Every site has your standard fire ring & picnic table. If you need water for cooking, head up to the bathhouse and use the stainless steel sink outside next to the ladies room. This is also a good place to wash your dishes. Pricing is $35 per site per day for 2 ppl and one vehicle. Additional adults are an extra $10/day, kids (ages 5-17) are an extra $5/day, and parking for extra vehicles is also an extra $5/day. Cash or check only. No pets allowed. Ice sold in the office is cheaper & the bag is bigger than the ones sold up the street at the Shore Road Market (red building at fork in road). The office also sells firewood, and some individual canned soda, bottled water, candy bars & ice cream bars. Be advised there are lots of skunks (which hasn't changed since my childhood). They won't bother you, but be aware at dusk/night where you're walking and make sure to toss your trash in the dumpster each day to help avoid an overnight visit. This campground is located right along the ocean and a river. The main beach area is pretty small at high tide, but becomes a nice big area at low tide. Just bring water shoes because the ground is rocky & covered in shells/crabs at low tide. The tide also changes quick so make sure to keep an eye on your belongings when it's coming in, to make sure they don't get swept out. There's also a smaller beach closer to the bridge, and is accessible via the road just next to the office. People still jump off the bridge at high tide, which they've been doing since I was a kid. If you head towards the ocean side of the campground, where the road loops, there's another pathway that leads to the rocks overlooking the ocean & Nubble Light lighthouse. Just watch your step cause the rocks can get slippery at low tide! Also, make sure to stay off other people's sites. If you don't, they'll be sure to let you know it's 'private property'. A great little campground to stay at, with beautiful ocean views! Would def recommend!
