For More Than 90 Years, Castle Island Camps In Maine Has Been Like Summer Camp For The Whole Family

Summer is a time when kids get outside and remember what it’s like to be in the fresh air. It’s great for them, but what about grown-ups that need to be reminded about the great outdoors? Adults need a chance to experience a kid-like summer and that’s why we love this spot. One part resort, one part summer camp it’s a one-of-a-kind experience for the whole family!

There's a lot to love about Castle Island Camps in Belgrade — and it starts right when you drive up!

In the winter it looks a lot like this but come spring this place is hopping with the hum of families enjoying a Maine summer.

Castle Island Camps has been family-run for more than 90 years! And, since its start in 1929, it's had four generations running the place. The current owners are John & Rhonda Rice.

At first glance, this might look like some other camps in the area. You'll find cute cabins, lakeside fun and lots of smiling faces.

What's extra-special about Castle Island is the way it's run.

This is known as an "American Plan Camp," which means their rates include the waterfront cabin, all meals, and daily housekeeping. You won't have to worry about a thing here.

And they're located at the mid-point of Long Pond which makes for easy boat access to both the north and south ends of the lake.

And you'll be glad for that because there's just so much to do on Long Lake. From boating to swimming and everything in between, you'll find yourself busy throughout the day.

Your days will be busy and your night will be... filling! And it's even more delicious knowing that the cost is all included in the price of the stay.

Castle Island Camps is typically open from April 28 to mid-September. Check out their website for more information and follow them on Facebook to keep track of opening information. They can be reached on 207-495-3312.

While you’re thinking about enjoying the great outdoors, head out on the short hike in Maine that leads to one of New England’s only glacial erratics, a fascinating relic of the ice age.
