Reviews of Hermit Island Campground
"Absolutely filthy place. The one star rating is only because it's located in Maine, otherwise it wouldn't even deserve that. Bathrooms were full of poop. Camp site(Branch12), was muddy and smelled like a truckstop toilet. Mosquitos are so out of control, sitting out or walking the road and trails would be impossible without bug spray, lots of bug spray. Campsites are way too close to each other. We were lucky enough to have the LOUDEST most filthy mouthed people next to us. We booked this place for 7 nights and after the 2nd night we couldn't get out of there fast enough. How does this campground have so many good reviews? The owners of this campground should be embarrassed. With a location like this there is so much potential, really sad."
"One of the best camping experiences. Camping with multiple beaches, picturesque views. There’s a really cool pavilion area with 10-12 picnic tables with a roof top and fire pit in the middle, amazing view and a path to a small beach area. We made breakfast there one morning. Your able to buy lobsters right on site and they cook them for you if needed as well as steamers."
"Lots of rain meant lots of bugs but views can't be beat. Reasonably priced. Great beach."
"I don't even know where to start; this was our first time staying at a private campground and we loved everything about it! Booking a site here means either calling or mailing a letter so a little more effort than your typical online booking process, but kinda charming. The sites are beautiful and clean, and are well spaced/private. The views at the sites around the exterior of the "island" are incredible and listening to the waves is a great way to fall asleep. Head Beach is easily accessible and is also a nice clean spot to walk around. The camp store sells everything you would generally need (including fresh lobsters) and everyone we spoke to was very friendly! Snack bar was closed during our stay since it is still early in the season. The toilets and shower were clean and the showers are free. Cell service is unreliable at the campground so it's a great place to unplug. Overall one of our favorite camping experiences and locations so far - looking forward to visiting again!"
"Very amazing location. Wonderful views and nice campsite separation (except for a few open areas if you want to be together as a group). Lots of beach area to walk."
