Go Fishing Together
There’s nothing more classic than fishing with Dad. Papoose Pond is stocked and ready for catch-and-release or just teaching the little ones how to cast for the first time. Bring your poles or borrow one from a fellow camper, this is the kind of tradition that never gets old. Don’t forget to get a Maine fishing license for anyone fishing over the age of 16.
Fire Up the Grill
Whether you’re in a cabin, campsite, or deluxe rental, there’s space to grill your favorite Father’s Day feast. You bring the burgers, we’ll provide the views and fresh Maine air.
Get on the Water
Canoes, kayaks, stand-up paddles boards and row boats are available for rent at the pond. Take a quiet morning paddle or a full-family race across the water….it’s one of the best ways to take in the campground from a different view.
Special Weekend Entertainment
To make sure the whole family has a good time and you are celebrating that special Dad in your life, enjoy a family movie and play in a fun, friendly competition of family trivia with fellow campers.

Sometimes, the best part of a camping trip is doing nothing at all. Grab a hammock, sip a cold drink, and let the day unfold at your own pace.
