The staff is very friendly and helpful. My kids loved the bingo and the kayak rentals. I also LOVE that this campground does not charge for package pick ups..... Something I sadly see a lot of Thousand Trails campgrounds are starting to do. Thank you for offering this service included in our stay. We appreciate it. My biggest tip: Visit the pond beachfront at night, it is majestic!!!

My wife and I stayed here for labor day weekend. This place is great. Staff is friendly and helpful. Our site was plenty roomy and shaded. They had stuff going on throughout the weekend which was nice.
The pond is beautiful and there is a lot there for kids to do. Very clean and kept up throughout the campground.
The lady that checked us in was amazing and she moved friends that were staying there with us to the site right across from us so that was great.
The location is awesome. 15 minutes from everything in Ellsworth. 30 minutes from Bar Harbor and about the same to Bangor.
We will definitely go back.

First year as a seasonal and so far it has been amazing. Fred and Deb are amazing along with the other staff. Have seen reviews were they placed Patten Pond as not kid friendly. Well far from true. Seasonal campers and other campers are very friendly and the kids that are seasonals are very respectful. Great family atmosphere. Great entertainment on weekend. Very quiet and very relaxing. Would definity recommend Patton Pond

It’s a nice campground more or a family friendly place. Lots going on. So if you’re looking for like those more in nature camp grounds that’s not really the case here.

They have events and such so if you wanna just go out and also have things going on it’s a decent spot.

Good amount of space at the camp site. Probably one of the better spots you’ll find near Acadia.

Has a nice store with common things you can buy. Also the restrooms probably one of the best you can get at a camp ground. Private showers and standard restrooms with stalls. And a place to do laundry.

People can be up late here though. The mornings are pretty quiet.

Dogs can’t swim where people are but can off to the side.

Overall, we enjoyed place. Cleanest porta-potty down by water. Good area for kids to swim, separate from boaters. Staff was good. Some activities for kids, which we appreciate. Rocks all over property proved to be huge obstacles for a lot drivers with less experience, but personally doesnt make place less fun and appealing. Golf cart rentals would make this a 5 star as its a little hike up to trash and activity hut.
