Buyer Beware! Told me a site was available and then it wasn't. Took another site that was awful and went back to office and left. Was promised a refund and didn't get it although but they pretended to put it back on my card. Terrible customer service, rude and unhelpful. Miserable experience. read more

I recommend this campground highly. Great beach for grownups and kids alike. Campsites are well maintained and the campground staff respond immediately to any known issues. The boat slips are modern poly docks and like any dock space anywhere you pay for them. The cost is comparable to other campgrounds we have stayed at. Very child friendly and scheduled activities for the kiddo's seem to be well thought out and plentiful. There are rules and regulations that are in place to provide a pleasant and enjoyable stay. Highly desirable campground so call early for reservations. read more

If you're looking to spend almost 7k for a so called prime site " on the hill", get charged for using the boat launch every time, pay outrageous fees for guests, then this is the place for you! If you like having your kids swim between boat docks where boats and jet skis back directly into swimming area, like to have guest, staff and owners alike act hostile, and have "neighbors" aim their security cameras directly at your site, this is the place for you! If you like parking your camper on a hill and have the person directly behind you think it's cool to scream obscenities at you (or your guests) because he decides he doesn't want your camper there and the owner reacts by screaming at you when you report ( his friend) then this is the place for you! Rather than calling the cops we decided to leave!! We have been camping for over 50 years and this was by far the worst experience we have ever had. We're now at an amazing family oriented campground with friendly campers and fabulous owners. read more

After trying many many campgrounds, we have found our home at The Birches Lakeside campground. The café has delicious food, the staff is extremely accommodating and the sunsets are amazing!! We absolutely love Lake Cobbossee! read more

The Birches Lakeside Campground - Sunset at the Birches Lakeside campground - Campgrounds Near Me - Litchfield, Maine

stayed there for 1 season. was ganged up on by surrounding neighbors to the point where my wife had a panic attack. Was told by "the hill" that we were not welcome there. "the hill" and "rodeo dr" is what they called them selves. Turns out the reason we were bullied out was because we are not aligned with their "conservative" political views. They made up lies about us to the owners, had multiple cameras pointed at our site monitored 24/7, bully you to no end. They told us that we lied to them. We asked multiple times what they were talking about - still dont know. Owners of the campground perpetuated the situation rather that try to solver the problem. Beach area surrounded by the marina with boats in and out all day. boats had to back out into the edge of the swim area. $$ to use the boat ramp whether you are a camper or not. 5 star lake, 1 star campground read more

So I should have looked at YELP before going there! 1. It is sooo expensive for the postage size stamp they give you for a site. Camper trailers are 10 feet apart - so can't even sit around a fire pit without having someone looking RIGHT down on your conversations. 2. AND they don't allow you to bring your firewood from 6 miles away - can only purchase from them. 3. Then when I checked out they CHARGED me again for the gate passes - instead of crediting it back - which means you better check your charges. 4. NO FREE WIFI - had to pay additional $25 for the week (and then only can use 2 devices; and no phone signals there. - - - Beach site was nice and owner Phil was helpful if you had a question - but this is not your typical Maine spacious camping experience. SOOO many seasonal sites - which may be why they have so many rules - and to whom they cater. I would discourage people from going there. read more

You know it is wonderful if we fly our entire family in from Florida every summer! This is a place where children can be children: safe, very clean and with lots of fun activities. We adults have fun as well - it is a campground, but the owners and staff go so far out of their way to anticipate any need. Summer like it should be!! read more

This place for the two days my family went there was terrible. First of all the older lady with whiteish hair in the store didn't know the prices of anything, and then on top of that gave us a really bad attitude when we were ordering ice cream. For example we had asked for a flavor and they didn't have it and she flipped out a bit and yelled at us to look at the flavors they had on the board, and then on top of that when she was making the ice creams she had dropped a bowl and was repeating "I quit" over and over in a aggravated tone. Then there was a drunk guy who had walking into the store with a open beer (which it's against the rules to have open container in the store) and he was giving us a hard time in there and also the cashier working a hard time and no one told him to follow the rules that were set but then when we were driving in we went one mile over the speed limit and they had two golf carts with staff all over us. Then on top of all of that we had paid to park and we were in a parking spot that was suitable and we were out on the boat and when we came back they said on a loud speaker to remove our car, EVEN THOUGH WE PAID TO PARK THERE! I just think this place has some really unreasonable rules and it's hard to have a good time with all of them in place, and also the staff should have a better attitude when working with the people that have paid to stay there. I will never ever step foot in this place again for as long as I live. read more

The description on the website for renting cabins is deceiving, they show a nice spot next to the water with a boat dock picnic bench and fire pit, all is true except the boat dock is rented by someone else, you are not allowed on it nor can you fish from or around it meaning fishing from your water front spot is a no, as a matter of fact as is with most Maine inland waters shore fishing is not happening as every shore line has docks rented by others, the sites have maybe 30 feet from fire pit to fire pit so zero privacy. That being said it is way over priced, also we had a constant flow of folks from the other cottages walking through our site to get the the small beach area. Also there is a cafe which the site said was open every day but fact is it is closed 4 days a week and was opening on our checkout day which is 10am. Our intention was to relax in our site and wet some fishing lines from our shore, that never happened, we won't need to return. read more
