Wilsons On Moosehead Lake Camps

I hate writing this as the owners were very nice but they really need to put some work into the cabins. First the positives, nice owners, and gorgeous location. However, when we checked in we found smelly linens and lots of trash in the sofa bed. Also calling it a sofa bed is a stretch. It’s more comfortable to sleep outside on the ground in a tent. Born and raised in Maine I don’t mind rustic or roughing it but at the price we paid for a week I shouldn’t be grossed out by the conditions of the cabin. The cabin had tons of holes in the exterior allowing for a bat to fly in on one of our last nights. Needless to say we ended our stay early.

Do not stay here.

It is clear that this was once a wonderful compound for family summer vacations and continues to have a cult-following. But folks really should take a hard look at the bifurcated reviews, especially from first-time guests AND the former owners. Unfortunately, the property is falling into disrepair which is such a shame considering the friendly owners and beautiful location. Many dilapidated buildings and structural issues with the cabins. We found trash in our cabin upon arriving (actually, our puppy did, which was scary) including socks, candy wrappers, and a razor in the shower. No locks on any doors and we could not turn off the heater in our cabin despite it being mid-August. We left a day early, preferring to tent-camp. Really hope some investments can be made in repairs and cleanliness.

We have been renting various cabins at Wilsons for years and highly recommend planning a vacation here. We have also stayed here at various times of the year. The property and location are equally as spectacular in the Winter as it is in the Summer. The owners are a local family and among the nicest people in the area. And equally as important, they know the area extremely well. No matter what you want kind of outdoor activity you want to do, they will give you great advice on the best way to do it. We also think the people that typically stay at Wilsons are among the friendliest people you will ever meet in the area. However, if you want to do your own thing, in a respectful way, nobody is going to bother you here. As far as we are concerned, nothing else matters. And in our opinion, from having just spent another week here, this kind of authentic Maine experience is getting more and more difficult to find. In other words, plan a vacation here very soon. -B&G from NYC

Definitely a favorite spot. Right on the lake with fantastic views and right on the trails too. We try to get here at least once a year. The owners and other vacationers here are always really really friendly.
