Flatrock on the River

Claude’s land was by far above and beyond what we expect expected. Just a beautiful piece of property and wonderfully maintained sites. Claude was very responsive and extremely accommodating. My family had a blast at his Hip Camp.

This spot was great!! Claude and his family were welcoming and cordial. We spent our 4th of July on site and we were treated with a beautiful fireworks display. Huge plus: Port-a-potties were clean & serviced

Beautiful location, well-appointed campsite (including firewood!), and pristine porta-potties - Flat Rock was absolutely perfect for our family of three!

Beautiful spot! Claude was so kind and communicated everything very well. There are other sites close by but the trees provide privacy and we had no issues. Great fire pit set up stocked with plenty of firewood, sites are well-marked and very well-maintained, citronella torches and candles ready to go that kept us pretty much bug-free, available toilets were incredibly clean. We didn’t end up using the suspension tent overnight but it did make for great fun for the kiddos during the day! We had a great time and would definitely come back again!

Beautiful property, like an official park. Easy to navigate to site as they are all clearly labeled. Bathrooms very clean. Amazing communication with the host!! He even set up tiki torches to help the kids find the site after discovering they would be in late. Provides access to kayaks and free fire wood. Amazing experience, 10/10, the cheverus sailing team thanks you.

Loved the suspension tent! Especially the proximity from the site to the river. Nice host lit up tiki torches for us to see when we arrived at afterdark.

We loved our stay so much! The gravel road was smother than most black top roads! We pulled into our site and was so surprised to see such a clean, well put together site! We backed our truck camper in with ease and had a nice level pad. It was such a great perk of firewood, tiki torches! Solar lights were such a nice surprise and lit the path to the cleanest porta-potty I’ve ever seen!! We had the pleasure of meeting our host the next morning and he welcomed us and invited us to stay for the day with our dogs and check out flat rock! What an amazing area. Worth every single penny! You must stay here if you’re in the area!

Such a cool spot. I’m on a solo camping trip but can’t wait to come back during warmer months with friends and utilize the beautiful swimming spots that surround this place!

At first I was "upset" at myself for paying $75 a night to camp!! We camp frequently and have always paid on the average of $35 a night. All my worries of the excessive money spent melted away as soon as we arrived! THIS was THE MOST beautiful, well-maintained site we have ever stayed at. The tiki torches were a nice touch as well as the beautiful fireplace with the cooking rack above and the wooden "stools." The porta-potty was sparkling clean and the unlimited supply of firewood was an awesome added benefit. Also, the sound of the moving water in the river was a welcomed sound at night. I am from Maine and we visit many times a year but have never been to Winterport. There isnt much to do which made it an ideal weekend to relax. The purpose of our trip was to see our sons stunt show at the Dragway in town and we did find the quaint little winery and consignment shop also. The old houses were also beautiful to look at. We did wish it had more to offer in the way of restaurants but we figured it out!

We had a great stay on Claude's land. The suspension tent was fun, and the space was absolutely lovely. We had the whole place to ourselves on this September weekend and it was just amazing to explore the river, relax in the sun out in the rocks, ... The site was way back in the woods, but easily accessible, and had everything we could have needed, including lots of firewood, the nicest firepit we've evenly seen at a Hipcamp, and spotless port-o-potties. For some reason Hipcamp just gave me GPS coordinates, but Claude's gave us clear directions and, ince mentioned, there was a clear sign out at the street. We loved our stay and cannot wait to return.

I visited the Suspension Tent site for a couple days last weekend with my two boys - 8 and 6 years old. The location is amazing. The site was in great condition. We had a great time hiking up and down the river, fishing, exploring, and enjoying the camp. We will definitely be going back again. The only bit of feedback to consider is that the suspension tent seemed to be prone to taking in some water when it rained. Please make sure it's secure and fully covered. Or set up another tent for added security.

My family really enjoyed our camping stay at Flat Rock. It was one of the nicest camping spots we’ve been to. There were campers at the other sites, but there was plenty of space between. The large fire pit and tiki torches were a nice touch. The river view was beautiful and we all enjoyed the swimming hole. I would highly recommend!!

My favorite camping spot

Tent · Group trip ·

This place is pure magic. We were lucky enough to be completely alone (a few other sites are nearby). Even if people were there, each site is private. Easily accessible, 20 minutes from Bangor and an hour from Acadia. I cannot wait to go back. The river is amazing, many swimming spots. The small details Claude added to each site were perfect. Amazing cook grill, tiki torches, big trash can, kayaks, tubes for floating, stumps made into tables and chairs. Truly an unforgettable place.

Great spot. I was initially disappointed that the flat rocks are open to non-campers and the fact that the 3 sites are relatively close together. However, this didn't prove to be a major issue as we were camping mid-week and there wasn't that much additional traffic. Claude is exceptionally nice, the campground is very clean, and we had a great time exploring in one of the canoes/kayaks available at the site. Would definitely recommend.

Flat Rock campground is one of the nicest campgrounds we have ever stayed at. The river, swim hole, waterfalls were absolutely delightful. We did have perfect, sunny weather. We were there on a Thursday/Friday and had the place almost to ourselves. The site was clean, well groomed, had the nicest firepit WITH firewood included as well as tiki torches, fuel, even BBQ fork! We also used the canoe and there were many kayaks available. The price was a little expensive for camping but it included all the above perks, so it wasn't unreasonably priced. Claude met us and was very personable and told us to text with any issue. We will definitely go back! Wonderful experience.

The site location was lovely, right next to the river. It was shallow enough to wade in and feel fish nibble your toes, surprisingly warm for moving water but refreshing nonetheless. The suspension tent was a fun bonus amenity- and the perfect place for a midday nap. Another accommodation that went above and beyond was the ample firewood provided. The fire pit was great for cooking and the table provided was helpful for prep. We were also impressed by how clean and well maintained the portapotty was. The only downside I have to mention is that I was under the impression it was just one site, completely private for several acres. However, this was not the case. I’m not sure if I misunderstood or if it just wasn’t made clear, but my biggest criteria when looking for a campsite was that it was secluded so we didn’t have to worry about our reactive dogs being bothered by and/or bothering other campers, but there was another site ~50ft through the woods with their own reactive dog. All in all, we had an amazing time and would definitely camp at this amazing site again. We just felt bad our dogs had to stay on leash and were barking back and forth with the neighbor’s dog.

This was not our first visit to the suspension tent and everything was just as we remembered: clean, beautiful, thoughtfully set up, and private. It was, however, our first night in the suspension tent through some rain, and it held up really nicely without getting too humid. The surrounding trees did well to keep most of the site dry too. Claude is a great host and even checked in to see if we wanted the suspension tent up or down, but we love the ‘ufo tent’! Most likely will be back again.

Claude has a great piece of property and we are thankful he shares it on hipcamp. Very clean and well taken care of. I am confident this will be a top place to stay in Maine. We are already planning another trip to the Flat Rock !!
