Your Camping Gateway to Downeast Maine and Acadia National Park…

Closing for the season: October 14th 2024

Forest Ridge Campground is a small, family owned business. We are NOT owned by a MEGA out-of-state corporation. We are very proud of Forest Ridge Campground. Our motto is LARGE SITES and QUIET NIGHTS!

In the summer of 2012 we purchased the campground and Forest Ridge Campground was born. Our campground is situated on 49 acres, in the woods, just one short mile from downtown Ellsworth. We are centrally located to many unique Down-East Maine communities (all within an hours drive). Many people have told us that our location is the best. We are 45 minutes from Schoodic Point, 20 minutes from Bar Harbor, 30 minutes from Castine, 20 minutes from Bucksport, 35 minutes from Bangor, 45 minutes from Deer Isle and Stonington.

Over the past 12 years we have provided a vacation getaway for MANY travelers and guests. We look forward to serving you on your future stay. At Forest Ridge we DO NOT TOLERATE PARTYING. If you are looking for a place to party, we suggest that you keep on looking, Forest Ridge is NOT where you want to be.

We look forward to being your hosts,

Lynn and Jeff, Nathan and Hadley, Cooper and Goose.
