The bathroom and shower (with real hot water) felt luxurious. The kitchen looked great, though we were so busy trekking in Acadia that we didn't really use it; we opted for local diners and brunch spots. It is very easy to find, no matter how late or dark it is, because it is really just off Route 1. The tent and surrounding areas were super clean, and you just needed to sit and enjoy the beautiful water view.

This place had it all! I loved being next to the river. It was quiet and peaceful. The campsite was private. The host gave us space so we could really get away from it all. The campsite was also very clean and felt safe. We absolutely loved it!

Claude has a slice of paradise!! This was our second visit and we hope for many more. We stayed at Toddy this trip, and it did not disappoint. Picturesque nook on a riverbend with a fire pit and cooking grate, complete with fully stocked firewood. Picnic table, tiki torches….just a hint of glamping. Bathroom facility is clean and pleasant to use. Cheers, Claude!! We love everything about Flatrock and will be back in 2026!

We stayed here for a month while sightseeing Maine. Michael was a terrific host!! The site was clean, spacious and everything we hoped! Michael is very knowledgeable about the area and even knew where we could get the BEST homemade blueberry pies! Michael is very friendly and accommodating to his campers and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was everything we hoped (and turned out to be more than we hoped). Highly recommend this host and the beautiful area of Cherryfield, Maine.

We enjoyed staying on “Toddy” at Claude’s campground. The site was very easy to find with gps from our home and then directions for the specific site on the booking information Claude provides. This site is overlooking the water with multiple paths down the embankment to be able to fish or launch kayaks/canoes. There is one site adjacent “rockside” and both together would be perfect for a large gathering or extended family trip. The porta potty is a short walk away and was extremely clean with services done weekly. Even with the water low, the rocks were amazing to spend time on. We lost track of how many small fish we caught. My kiddo brought his bike and loved going around the loop or walking it up the hill to fly down it. Our dog loved rock climbing and swimming. Being able to stargaze out on the rocks and hear the rush of the rapids at the same time was amazing. Claude was super accommodating and came down the day after check in to make sure everything was going smoothly. He advised us where more wood was, offered to even go get some, and was happy to answer our questions about future planning for the campground.
We saw numerous animals including hawks, eagles and porcupines.
The swimming hole was refreshing over the hot weekend with the sides of the rocks making the perfect slides.
We did run into town once or twice to try out some local food and grab more ice- only a few minutes down the road.
Definitely will be back to experience Claude’s land again next year.

Beautiful spot. We loved the fire pit and the wood was included. Tiki torches were provided which was also a nice amenity. Quiet and peaceful spot at the water.

We loved camping here! Claude is a generous host who has put a lot of love into this campground. Our site was very large, private, and had water views. The fire pit is really big. The river babbling by was a lovely soundtrack! There are some other great sites we would love to tent camp on someday as well. The Point accommodated our 21' trailer but backing in was pretty tricky. I'd only recommend it for a trailer if you have a back up camera (we don't, lol) or are a real pro. We didn't get to kayak up the river this time, we were having too much paddling around the swimming hole, and relaxing on the huge flat rock. We hope to get back!

Henry was a communicative and gracious host! The site with the kitchenette, bathroom, and shower was well stocked. He left tent lights on for us when we arrived well after midnight. Was very kind and willing to help out - would recommend!

The setting was beautiful, very peaceful and serene (granted we were there without other campers for the most part) I bought tons of things to do, but spent the first day just taking in the natural surroundings, watching inchworms fall into the water and waiting for a fish to come and dine.
We did get neighbors on our second day but the way the sites are set up you don't really see anyone. Claude was very friendly and welcoming. The areas were clean and well kept. The Flatrock area is absolutely gorgeous! When we stayed the water level was quite low but you still heard the sounds of running water which we found very soothing. Claude even offered us the use of a little row boat and we were able to paddle up the stream a bit and that was lovely. We would love to go back in the future when the water is truly running to take that in but otherwise a very pleasant host and site.

Lovely, peaceful spot right on the river. The campground was quiet, with large sites spaced generously from one another. The port a johns were spotless and supplied with toilet paper and sanitizer. The river itself was great to explore, we even took one of the canoes available for a quick spin. Thanks for having us!

Words cannot describe how breath takingly serene this site is. Claude offers a super convenient set up—site is clean, there were a couple fire canisters we could light to deter bugs, we came to a giant stack of firewood at our disposal. The quarry is absolutely stunning. All you could hear was the stream and breeze with the occasional laughter of other visitors in the distance.
I usually am one to get up in the morning with an eagerness to start my day, but when it was time to go I found myself dragging my feet, admiring the trees. Great space, Claude (and I imagine he has a team) takes wonderful care of the land.

Amazing river spot! Will be back! I did a solo camp trip (with my dogs) at Flat Rock in early August 2025. Claude was quick to respond to my questions before arrival and helped me choose the best spot for my needs. It was pretty easy to find and my phone had reception there to. The site was large, private and right next to the river w/ pine trees soft dirt and ferns surrounding you. Very magical! The view from the site was 10/10 Bald eagles soared over my site all day and I could see them fishing and bathing in the river. The river was very low due to no rain this summer but my dogs and I still enjoyed jumping in the large swimming hole to cool off. I floated in the tube for a while and sunbathed on the warm rocks. There were a few kayaks and a canoe to take up the river as well. The bugs are crazy at sundown make sure you have somewhere bug proof to go! I'm sure a fire would have helped but I didn't make one because it was 95° that day!
