Pine Grove Campground & Cottages

Beautiful rustic campground. Price ($24/person) was a bit high, but they do have available (free) canoes, kayaks, kid bikes, TV room, kid game room that would make this an exceptionally reasonable price in warmer weather. My husband fished right from our site #19 and we loved the view and quiet! Hosts are very nice and helpful, even gave my husband some bait worms!

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Pine Grove campground and I must say it exceeded all my expectations.

I stayed in the North Trail RV rental with my two 16 year old boys. This trailer was extremely clean and had plenty of space for all of us. The RV was stocked with everything we needed, including the best coffee I have had anywhere I’ve ever stayed. Outside the RV is a large outdoor space set back far enough from the other campsites that it felt very private. The campground amenities were top-notch, including very clean restroom facilities, a playground and a small camp store with essentials and some fun Maine themed gifts. It was evident that the campground staff took great pride in keeping everything in excellent condition.

The highlight of my stay was the incredible natural scenery that surrounded me. The campground was a perfect escape from everyday life. Each morning, I woke up to birds singing, and sat by the river enjoying my coffee. The evenings were peaceful and illuminated by stars. The campground remained quiet to enjoy marshmallows by the fire with my family. It was an incredible experience.

For outdoor enthusiasts, the activities available at Pine Grove Campground were plentiful. The campground is on the river and there are kayaks and canoes available. Hiking trails, biking routes, and fishing spots were all either right there or a short drive away. Whether I wanted an adventure or to simply unwind by the river there was something for everyone. If you stay here I highly recommend floating down the river on a tube!

I also commend the campground staff for their exceptional hospitality and attentiveness. The owners and camp hosts were friendly. The owners clearly love this area of Maine and can recommend places nearby for whatever you are interested in doing. Their dedication to ensuring a memorable camping experience was evident. As an extra bonus, several days I stayed at the campground the owner shared homemade cinnamon rolls in the tv lounge.

Overall, my time at Pine Grove was nothing short of extraordinary. I left feeling relaxed, connected to nature, and grateful for the memories I made. If you're seeking a perfect camping getaway, I recommend this campground. I am looking forward to coming back next summer.

i stayed here for a few nights with my friend and her family, and it was a freaking blast! the river has a fast current, so it was a little tricky swimming but it was still fun lol. my friends parents rented an on site RV and my friend and i got a campsite. i think this was perfect bc we had lots of place to put things in the RV and hang out when it was raining. the on site places were great, there was a cute camp shop, with some t-shirt's, some supplies, and some gifts. there is also a small common room open 24 hours with a tv and coffee station and it's lovely. we went rafting one day, and that was good fun. there was a tiny bit of white water along with the fast current so it was quite fast :).i felt very safe and peaceful when i was there and it was overall an amazing few day, and i would go back in a heartbeat and do it again!!!

Our hosts were amazing. Over-the-top accommodating. It was pretty rainy so I didn’t get to enjoy much of their outdoor space, but our two bedroom cabin was perfect for what we needed. The beds were super comfy. Plenty of space for two people. The location was perfect for anywhere we wanted to go. I especially enjoyed the beers in the lobby ;) 100% recommend this place.

My partner and I had a wonderful stay in the Mt. Kineo cottage. We were there for two nights, but wish we had planned to stay longer! The place is really well maintained. You can tell Katie and Jeff really care about the campground, and their guests. Katie brought a wheelbarrow of firewood right to our campsite when we arrived. There's lots to do in the campground. There's a beach area, kayaks and canoes, they have a TV lounge with movies and books you can use, and of course relaxing around a campfire. We had a great trip, and can't wait to come back!

Very peaceful and relaxing campground. Well maintained. I stayed in tent site 101 (w/electrical hookup) and it was very comfortable, peaceful, and serene. Great location for all sorts of outdoor activities. Campground has very comfy TV lounge open 24/7 with a large screen TV, couches, books and maps, and two coffee makers including a Keurig machine. Internet does not come in well -- wifi/phone data -- but probably adds to the peacefulness and full outdoor experience. Katie (one of the owners) was super nice, friendly, and hospitable.

very beautiful campground! camp hosts were extremely nice, and very helpful. gave us some spare tent stakes to borrow when we were short a couple. the sites were not very private but very spacious and everyone is extremely friendly!
very clean facilities and the sites right on the water are perfect!

Nice clean campground. Host is very accommodating. Clean bathrooms. Just as advertised. This is not wilderness camping, so you can hear lots of people, but everyone was respectful of 10pm quiet time. Affordable and a very nice place to rest between long hikes and bike rides. Definitely, I would recommend.

We were very tired and wanting to move on, but this campsite gave us the energy to stay a little longer. Water everywhere for us and the dogs to play in. Owners were very nice and close. Lots of options for campers, not crowded. Great showers and bathroom. Nice place to wash dishes. Awesome campground. Definitely recommend.

What a great gem nestled in the woods of Maine!! The owners, Katie and Jeff, are wonderful hosts and the accommodations were perfect! Our friends stayed in one of the cottages and we had a campsite on the river. Absolutely lovely! They even provide kayaks and canoes for free! What is even more amazing, they took time out of their busy schedule to prepare us a New England meal with lobsters!! Yum yum!! Thanks for the superb camping experience! We can’t wait to return!

Beautiful campsites (and cottages) on the river! The view was great, along with the eagles flying by daily, the crystal clear night sky, and the amount of smallmouth bass we caught!! Clean laundry and restroom facilities. We visited Baxter State Park, picked wild strawberries, seen 4 moose, and did the scenic drive...Route 11 I believe! I can't say enough about this place!! Maine at it's finest.

I happened upon this campground last week and stayed overnight with my kids. What a neat spot, really calm and peaceful. We went tubing the next day, and made it about an hour down the river before I punctured my tube (one I bought online for about $12) but it was fun while it lasted. Tent sites are mainly by the river and many of the other people had rv's - there was plenty of space between the sites though, not like some campgrounds we have been to in the southern part of the state. Would definitely recommend.

What a beautiful campground. The owners are so very nice and helpful. The little store has necessities and a few souvenir items along with local made souvenirs. Canoes and kayaks are provided for our enjoyment. We are really enjoying our view of the river. A perfect place for fun or relaxing.

We absolutely love this campground. This is our 2nd year as a seasonal at this campground. Such a freindly quiet atmosphere. Love meeting new people that come and go into the campground. The river is beautiful and love to watch the eagles as they cruise the river hunting for food. The river is great for swimming, fishing, floating, kayaking and canoeing. The bathouse and all facilities are very clean. I would highly reccommend this campground the next time you are in the Maine Northwoods. The owners are very friendly and try in every way to accomodate people. It is our home away from home in the spring, summer and fall. We look forward to coming back next year.

We had a wonderful stay at Pine Grove Campground and Cottages. We had reservations to stay on a weekend in July. I actually had to change the reservations at the last minute from Thursday and Friday to Friday and Saturday. The owners were so accommodating. In addition, I did not have a good cell signal, so the owners allowed me to use the office phone to make a phone call. We had a great stay at this beautiful campground.

Katie and Jeff we can't thank you enough for your accommodation in letting us check into your campgrounds earlier then our planned dates, you both took a bad start to our vacation and turned it around to be completely positive, we both love the campgrounds and how peaceful and quite it is, we apologize for Nanook getting free and run around for a short time, thank God it ended positive. We only say wonderful things about our camping trips to your campgrounds. It's truly God's country and watching the eagles fly by we can't wait to come back and stay again. Your both very, very professional on how you run your business and how you treat your guest.

Thank you both

This the 3rd year we have spent at Pinegrove Campground. The last 2 years have been spent as a seasonal camper. We absolutely love this place. Quite camping on a gorgeous piece of the Penobscot River. Fishing, swimming, tubing, kayaking or canoeing. Potluck dinners with live music once a month. Oh, did I mention that Katie & Jeff are best host we have ever encountered at a campground. Come check out the Kathadin and Southern area. Adventures Await!

Such a wonderful place to stay lots of fishing caoning and kyacking very quite and nestled in the trees owners are very friendly and meet all there campers oh and tubing the host will take you up the river and you float back tips are nice but not required

This is one of the best campsites I’ve been to.
The views and silence is breathtaking not to mention the tubing down river with an eagle following us along the way. God’s country for sure. The helpers and owners are great and they don’t cram rules down your throat. Definitely going back 👍

Great campground. Under new management that has done lots of sprucing up and repairs. Right on the river so you can swim or use a boat. Camp sites are roomy with lots of trees for shade. Hosts were friendly and helpful. Town with grocery store close by if you forgot something.
