Littlefield Beaches Lakeside Family Campground — Hotel in Greenwood

Worse campground that I have ever been to and here’s why, the owner is very rude. When I first arrived I noticed that there was a playground, but it’s very outdated and it’s more for toddlers than older kids. My daughter who is seven was just swinging on the swings when this older lady who is the owners wife came over to her and told her that she was way too heavy to be swinging on the swings mind you the weight limit was 50 pounds. My daughter weighs 51 pounds so that shouldn’t have been a big deal but the owner made the assumption that my daughter was too big for the swing without even asking her what her weight was before it being rude to her. My daughter was very upset so when I went down and ask the lady what had happened, she was very rude to me and obviously I was very upset that she made the assumption that my daughter was weighed more than she really was, and she asked me where my site was, and I told her I didn’t feel comfortable telling her since I didn’t know who she was . She took a picture of me and told me she was going to call her husband who was the owner. So I walked away before things escalated since I knew that there was a lot of kids around and I didn’t want to make a scene at a respect, when I walked by the office to go back to my site and tell my husband what happened the owner told me to come over there and he pointed his finger at me and told me that I gave his wife an attitude, and I simply told him what happened and he told me that I was lying and after that I was very upset with him and told him that I was not happy with the way I have been treated in the way my daughter has been treated about being here and he told me if I do not like it that I can pack my sht and get the hll out of his campground. I completely understand whoever is reading this if they do not believe me, I understand that completely, but I swear to God, this is what happened , this is not the first time I’ve heard of the owner being like this my friends went to this campground last year, and while they were camping there, the owner would sit out in the middle of the field and see who went to bed and who didn’t and if you didn’t go to bed at a certain time he would come over put your fire out and told you that you need to settle in for the night if it was after 10 pm. Around 12 AM I got up to go to the bathroom so as I was walking down to the bathhouse, I noticed that he was sitting on his golf cart in the middle of the field. He was staring at me as I was walking to the bathroom which I found to be pretty creepy but honestly, I just told myself that you know he owns his campground. He just wants to ensure everyone safety and he was probably just doing his job. But after everything that had happened that day, I wasn’t sure if he was looking out for my safety or he was just doing it to intimidate me because of the way things turned out earlier that day. I’m sorry, but if you’re camping, you shouldn’t have to look over your shoulder with every little thing that you do. I have been doing this for many many years and I have never had a problem with any owner any campground ever before until now if you look at the reviews online, it never states that most of the sites there are seasonal and have fun using your air conditioner because with most of the sites you are unable to because everything is so outdated and they never tell you this until you get there. Again, everyone has their own experiences, but I suggest not to even waste your time since there are many other campgrounds that are so much better and so much more mature about handling certain situations for instance, papoose pond is a great campground. They’re very good with handling any situation. By the way, I am not one to ever write a bad review about anywhere, but I’m just so upset that I spent all the money that I would spend anywhere else and this is the kind of experience that I have. If I would’ve seen a comment like the one I am making now I probably would’ve never booked it and it would’ve saved me from having to go through all this, so I hope this...

I feel like I have found a precious jewel, right here in Maine by the name of Littlefield Beaches Lakeside Campground! After I got my campsite, I started to feel very lucky that I did as the campground is so popular that people book year after year and a year in advance just to make sure they can camp here. I’ve walked around this campground many times for exercise and cannot believe how peaceful and calm and beautiful it is. The campsites are quite large, I have a 40 foot motorhome and I know for a fact I could put two on the same site. The place is kept immaculate as when you see somebody pulling out after their stay a crew comes in almost immediately to rake clean And reposition things for the next camper. They have a They have an unbelievable laundry building here with several machines and price is cheaper than any other campground I’ve stayed at. And as for the bathhouses, they are so clean and nice, my wife won’t even shower in the motorhome she uses the bath houses.The lake is clean and the beach is absolutely fantastic. Children are able to play with complete safety, many children playing in the water at the beach and yet plenty of room left for an older couple like us to enjoy the beach and the water. Parents are expected to take care of their children, and they do unlike some campgrounds. I have visited campgrounds that just let children run amok. The services here are absolutely fantastic, the store has everything you could possibly need and is clean as a pin. Yes you may pay a little bit more than driving 25 miles to Walmart, but the convenience is well worth it. Many of the sites that are down close to the water as per main state law do not have sewer, hook ups, so they have a pump truck available to you three times a week for a pump out or even the same day you need it with advanced notice. Oh, and the pump outs are cheap. I often say when reviewing a campground that I meet the nicest campers and they are so friendly, and it is always true, and it is true at this campground as well, however, at this campground, the staff are equally as nice and friendly! As I said in the beginning I truly believe I have found a gem of a campground right here in Greenwood, Maine. And yes, I have already renewed for next year and I’m hoping to get even more time. Don’t take my word for it, come and see...

Great location, bad experience. The beach is beautiful, water pretty clear, nice view of the mountains. But the campsites are horribly small. You’re practically stacked up on each other. No breathing space or room for privacy. The rules were extreme, was yelled at for being a little too loud 5 mins after “quiet time”, but the next night Seasonal campers were out talking, and laughing loud up to 11:30. Like they knew when staff went home and could no longer be notified of loud campers. The seasonal campers are given top priority. And once I told the owner about the noise level, he acted like they could do no wrong. No apologies, and I bet they weren’t even talked to. The owner nickel and dimes for everything, and you can tell only in it for the money. He’s taken over new ownership in 2018, but has yet to make many upgrades. Bathroom is small and moldy. There’s only 3 toilets and 1 shower for a big campground. And the worst part, check out is at 11am and check in is at 1pm, and a young girl was cleaning the bathroom at 10am and wouldn’t allow us to go to the bathroom before we leave. She said she’d be done cleaning in 25mins when we had 4 kids with us who needed to go urgently. We left and came back and she said we couldn’t go because she was about to mop. We begged her to let us go before she mops and refused and gave us a bad attitude. It doesn’t make any sense to clean at that time when all the guests haven’t checked out yet. Cleaning time should be between 11am-1pm. When we let the owner know upon check out. He didn’t apologize he said they have another bathroom which was a far walk in the opposite direction. Didn’t care that he inconvenienced us at all. Will not be returning to this campground ever again! Poor management, not worth dealing with...
