Camp DeForest

Beautiful restored mid century motel with huge individual cabins apportioned with fun retro items like a typewriter and old fashioned radio. Manager Ben was a terrific host, he even lit a campfire for us in the evening! It’s a special place. ❤️

I ended up at Camp Deforest serendipitously, but it was one of the highlights of my trip! This beautifully renovated motel from the 1950s has a summer camp theme that's the perfect blend of nostalgia and whimsy. So much thought was put into the design; anywhere your eye lands there will be something cool to look at. The rooms were super comfortable, adorably decorated, and absolutely spotless. And the staff was awesome, too! I was traveling solo, and both Zach at checkin and Joe the next morning were super welcoming and friendly. I literally couldn't have asked for anything more — except for maybe a random moose sighting on the lawn, which, if they could have arranged for me they probably would have.

Terrific stay, with a vintage summer camp atmosphere. The staff were great. It was walking distance to the ocean and a short drive to Rockland, Camden, and Belfast.

Clean room, cute decor, we utilized lots of amenities such as puzzle, shuffle board, disc golf basket, fire pit for snores, robes, shower and products, and of course, breakfast in the morning was delish with yummy coffee!

Great retro hotel. Very comfortable and convenient to Camden and Belfast

From the moment you arrive, Camp DeForest strikes a balance between retro charm and contemporary comfort. The cabins and lodge rooms are beautifully refurbished with thoughtful design touches, vintage-inspired decor, and amenities like heated floors, cozy furnishings, and quality bedding that make you feel instantly at ease.

Wonderful stay! Very cute and clean room! Staff was very helpful!

Room was spotless and beautifully put together, in my opinion. Huge fan of MCM and camp theme so wow, just perfect . Perfectly perfect, as Moostletoe says. Thank you so much. Staff beyond accommodating and kind. The office is cozy and the continental breakfast, though simple, is campy and clearly high quality. Home made sourdough bread, I believe I heard.

This is a magical place. Feels like an upscale summer camp. The rooms and lounge are so beautifully decorated. We stayed in one of the private cabins. The heated floors in the bathroom were so nice in the late fall. Everything was so comfortable. I think kids would really love this. I know we adults did. Would love to go back.
