The workers were very friendly and helpful. Gave us great recommendations of things to see around the campground and area. Stayed in a tent. Hot showers, flush toilets, kayaks to take on the pond are a few features. Great view on Mt. Katadhin on the dock. Great place to stay!

This was a perfect rafting day! I chose POC/NEOC completely by accident. The first company that I booked with messed up my reservation and I am SO HAPPY that it happened. I went with POC/NEOC because they were the next outfitter on my list. Simon was my guide (request him...that dood knows his stuff) and I have to say he was probably the best raft guide I have ever had. We ran the upper river twice and there were only 8 people (2 boats) on our trip. It was SO MUCH nicer than the other clusterf**k trips that we saw with 10 boats and 80+ people. The rapids in the upper are amazing...solid class V and IV stuff. This section of the river is the real deal. I even got to do some involuntary swimming through the gorge thanks to Exterminator Hole. That totally made the trip! They also provide a gr

This location is very much as described. We stayed in a cabin tent and the online description had windows listed and there weren't any, which meant there was absolutely no cross breeze at all. Not all sites have a grate across the fire for cooking. You can use the amenities at the NEOC down the road like their kayaks, restaurants and that's where the wildlife tours meet. We did the wildlife tour and it was a wonderful day, the pontoon boat was very nice and it was the perfect amount of people.I would stay here again.

I spent the month before our trip trying to convince my wife to go whitewater rafting with me. She was hesitant about the class IV rapids and the falls. Fortunately we bumped into one of the guides (Nick) at the grocery store and he assured her that it would be a great experience. We both signed up and it was the highlight of our month long trip to Maine. The rapids were super fun and we were all kept safe. In addition the view of Katahdin and the pictures were incredible. Lunch was also delicious. I would highly recommend POC/NEOC. The whole crew was awesome and our guide Nick was the best. Thanks!
