Very well thought out in design and maneuverability.
Very clean and peaceful. Hearing the loons in the morning and evening was heavenly.

We had the most amazing experience here and I already can’t wait to plan our next visit to really just enjoy the site more! But it was absolutely STUNNING, the views were beautiful and so much care was put into every part of the site. I really couldn’t have asked for a better experience on my first solo trip with my pup! We heard lots of different animals during the night especially and it was really just magical!

Beautiful private place with a 360 view of the mountains! Completely impressed by the stone picnic table! The turn is a bit hidden so drive very slowly — we reached the top of the mountain and had to turn around because we went too far. I think the sign is a little hidden within the bushes. Otherwise, such a lovely stay! Would return!

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!

Beautiful sunrise and sunset. A bit tough to find a place to use the bathroom and just maybe check out the wind forecast prior to booking. A lovely get away experiencing the rise and fall of each day.

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!

This is our most beloved spot. We love it because of its spectacular view over Maine and the absolute privacy! We have been coming for years and were never disappointed by the place or the host. Rod has always been very forthcoming, helpful and reliable. This time he even gave us a tour to the second spot that he plans to open up next year: another spot with all the privacy you could wish for and an amazing view.
If you are looking for a spot that gives you beauty and privacy but also the closeness to Camden and Rockport for getting some hustle and bustle in summer in Maine, you are at the perfect place.
We are looking forward to come back again. And we are planning to do that in October. With a camper, it doesn't matter when it gets a little cold at night, because the view is always amazing no matter the season.

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!

Very clean and easy to find. Great fireplace setup with precut wood even though we didn’t have a fire. So quiet all you hear are the loons.

Great place right near Acadia & Bar Harbor (as well as numerous other places with less foot traffic). The downtown area of Ellsworth has cute shops, great food, and everything you'd need and is about a 15-20minute drive right from the camp site.
The site is secluded & spacious but has everything you'd need in order to stay comfortable on a camping trip.
I loved bringing my dog because he had ample space to explore. The hosts were very communicative!

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!
