We camped here for a few nights and enjoyed the campground. When checking in the woman at check in was helpful and very nice. Site was great, park was quiet at night, and the other campers were friendly. Would camp here again. Oh- and Mt Battie view is AMAZING.

The view from the top of Mount Battie is absolutely gorgeous. In the fall it must be amazing!! We’ve been there several times through the years. They’ve made some improvements including a lead up sidewalk from the parking area which is wheelchair accessible. It cost $12 and change to enter the parking area which for 2 out of state residents in a vehicle.

Cool state park in a great location. We camped one night in the off season. Park staff were friendly and helpful. We drove up to enjoy the view which is pretty spectacular, had dinner in Camden, then returned to the site for a warm campfire on a cool night. There are trails for hiking, decent cycling options, we saw a ton of wild turkeys. Only downside is that the bathroom/showers aren't quite at the level we're used to with the PA State Parks that we frequent. The campsites are spaced nicely so some are not right on top of each other, some are, but we had a lot of options this late in the season.

Camden Hills State Park is an absolute gem! The park offers stunning viewpoints overlooking Camden Harbor, Penobscot Bay, and the surrounding forests — the kind of scenery that makes every step worth it. Whether you hike up or drive to the top, the views are gorgeous throughout. Highly recommend visiting, especially on a clear day when you can see the islands spread out across the bay. 🌲⛰️✨

This was our basecamp for visiting Camden. We love the town and the park. Clean, safe, friendly. If you're camping, there's no additional fee to drive up Mt. Battie. We discovered that Edna St. Vincent Milay wrote a poem about the view!

Beautiful scenery and nice woodsy hikes. The viewpoints are stunning and parking was easy throughout the park.

We only had time for one hike and it was amazing!! Beautiful scenery and town. We went on Wednesday, Oct 1st at 10:30 am and there was plenty of parking.

Great location right in Camden downtown, you can enjoy your sandwich by the window with a nice view of the bay. So many sandwich and dessert options, everything looked so good. I ordered the fantastic focaccia and it was absolutely delicious. I also had an iced latte but can’t say I loved it. The only negative point for me was that tables were not wiped down between uses, since it’s an order on the counter situation, the staff doesn’t really pays attention to how clean tables are. I will definitely be back.

Outstanding! Every server I saw or interacted with was super friendly and attentive. I sat upstairs so I got table side service. I ordered the Italian sub on a baguette and a black coffee. I didn’t intend to eat the whole thing but I couldn’t help it. It was so good!!! The baguette was very fresh, and the meats and cheese were perfectly stacked and fresh and tasty. The coffee was great!! I really can’t say anything bad because it was all good. Price was reasonable and seating was very comfortable. The interactions I saw between servers and other folks was friendly and helpful. If I lived around here I’d come as often as possible. Photo only has half pictured because I agree the first half within seconds.

Deli food at its best! We stopped in for a sandwich on the go and the staff was quick to steer us to a perfectly balanced focaccia!! Like look at that thing! It was delicious as take out but also looked like a nice place to dine in while out on the town.

If we've learned anything from our extended US East Coast road trip, it's to find the best Deli or equivalent supermarket in your destination, buy your lunch or dinner there, and eat at a beautiful spot of your choice. That's the case here, too. The Camden Deli has everything you desire. The sandwiches are super delicious by the way. Take them to Camden Harbor at sunset and enjoy the entertainment and hustle and bustle. You keep that much longer in your head than a restaurant visit.

Pretty nice place. Right by the water, didn't have to wait very long for the food, and even at a tourist-y place the prices weren't too crazy either. Even bought a huge and delicious brownie for like $5 here. Not too shabby of a spot to stop if you need a quick bite to eat.

My husband ,myself and another couple stop in on Saturday for lunch. I had the Chicken bacon ranch,my husband had the club sandwich ,my friend had the toasted cheese with tomatoes and bacon and the last sandwich was an Italian sandwich. These were the very best we've had in a long time!!! And you have to grab a dessert...amazing... The girls behind the counter were so nice!! If your in Camden you having e to visit the deli...you will love it❤❤

Had a very good sandwich (The Olad)! Also ordered pasta salad (a little bland) and the peanut butter cup brownie which was pretty good. Sandwich was great, would be better if eaten onsite vs to go. We got there and ordered at 5:30, they close at 6 and were cleaning dining room. Took about 25 min to get our two sandwiches. They were worth the wait.

I tried ordering online but the website would not cooperate. We ordered close to 7:00 at night and they said it would take about a half hour to make. The food was almost ready when we got there the place was very difficult to find. The pizza seemed like they purchase the pre-bought pizza crust like you get in the grocery store. The toppings were limited the cheese almost nonexistent. The best thing about the salad we got was the tomatoes they were fresh. If I had the capability I would have bought my own pizza at a grocery store and baked it at home it would have been more satisfying. There's a sign on the building that says it's for sale so I don't know what that means if they're looking for a newer larger place. This seems to be a favorite of locals because the place was busy.

Small sized pizza place well located in the heart of the town, near harbor. Service is great, food is tasty. Ambiance is cozy. I recommend!

We had the cheese pizza and it was very good. Enjoyed the abundance of cheese and the crust done to perfection.

This review is based solely on the interaction I had with the staff at the store. I haven’t tried the food yet but if the food is as excellent as their staff, I’m in for a treat. I placed an order on DoorDash. A dasher accepted the order and then cancelled. I knew the restaurant was closing and I was worried the dasher wouldn’t get there before the restaurant closed. I contacted DoorDash but there wasn’t anything they could do beyond getting a new delivery driver which only pushed back the delivery time. I called the restaurant and they were so kind. They have the food ready and it was being kept warm and they assured me they would stay until the order was picked up. They were not angry. In fact, they really were cool about it. I hate that my order caused them to have to stay late and I’m extremely thankful that they did and they did it with a great attitude. Unfortunately, I didn’t catch the name of the employee but I hope the owner sees this and recognizes their employee so he gets the credit he deserves. Thank you Camden House of Pizza for hiring quality staff ♥️ Edit- we have received our meal and it is delicious!! My fiancé is Italian and he loved it! He’s had the same meal in Italy and he said this ranks up there with the best he has had.

Friendly, and relatively quick service. Calzone and pizza were much better than anticipated. I'll definitely visit this place again. It's a couple of minutes walk from the main shopping district in Camden on a side street with a few ships. Much easier to get a seat right away than the places on the main street

Great pizza, great parmesans, and even better prices!

Really good pizza, my wife and I were able to eat a small pizza and it filled us up well. The taste was great and we got the pizza pretty quick during lunch time. Would definitely eat here again. Thank you!

What an amazing time! The crew went above and beyond—they kept us safe, but also made us feel so welcome and at ease the entire trip. They were personable, fun, and really made the experience special. We even got to help raise the sails and snap pictures steering the boat! Add in their delicious margaritas (with souvenir cups to take home) and it truly was a great time all around. Hope to go back again!

Excellent cruise! The boat is a classic one of 200 wooden vessels actively used commercially. The cruise is peaceful and the sites are stunning departing the Camden port into the bay. The crew was very professional and very kind. Capt Shawn and First Mates Mary and Andy steered the sailboat like a dream team. My wife and I were even able to assist in raising the sails! Although be advised if volunteering for that duty canvas sails are deceptively heavy. A must to-do in town!

My husband and I had a great experience on our sunset sail! The captain (Shawn) and his crew (Andy and Mary) were awesome. Andy shared so much great information. And it was fun to watch them do all that they do to sail this boat! They really know their stuff! Very enjoyable two hours. Thank you!

We had an amazing time! We were celebrating my wife’s birthday and this was a perfect ending to an amazing day! Captain Pablo and crew, Mary and Andy, were very personable and entertaining. Of course, Mother Nature had a hand as well with a beautiful evening. We would definitely recommend the Appledore and her crew to our friends and family. Thank you for such a memorable experience!

My wife and I booked the sunset cruise on Schooner Appledore II on Friday, 8/08, out of Camden Harbor, Camden, Maine. From beginning to end, the experience was professional, fun, entertaining, beautiful, informative, all while enjoying some great beverages served during our 2-hour cruise. Captain Pablo and his two two crew-members, Andy and Mary, were fabulous! Besides being great hosts (which they were), more importantly, they made sure our trip was safe and comfortable for all on board. The Appledore II annd crew are in Camden all summer, then most winters they sail the Appledore II down to Key West, FL, for the winter. We are from Georgia and are enjoying our first trip to the Maine coast. We will be back to Camden area again. However, we are also looking at the possibility of heading to Key West this winter and taking another cruise with Captain Pablo and crew down there!

Excellent tour. The weather was perfect, so the trip was too. Crew of 3 were extremely communicative, customer centric, knowledgeable of the area and fun-fessional. Had a bit of trouble finding the departure location (thanks to GPS), but left a voicemail and got a call back very quickly. They guided us verbally, staying on the phone until we in sight. VERY helpful.

Had a great time on the Schooner Appledore II.. Captain Shawn and his crew Mary & Andy were very professional and entertaining. It was a great cruise, weather couldn’t have been better! Thank you for an awesome time!!

My husband and I had a delicious and delightful lunch here today. We sat inside. The restaurant is very clean and obviously has a fantastic view. I ordered the sirloin and it was prepared as ordered and excellent. I got it without the sauce because I'm gluten-free. (Side note is that they don't offer gluten-free bread.) My husband got the lobster roll and said it was also really good. I deducted a star because first we were overcharged and after I pointed it out it took ten minutes for our server to have it fixed. Also, I didn't notice until we got home that we never received the 10% locals discount even though I mentioned we live in Maine (but I live two hours away so too late for them to adjust). I do think it's awesome that they offer that, though, so be sure to mention it if you live in Maine (and check your bill!)

This review is a ‘tale of two cities’ type of a situation, a great experience with the server, but a most unusual and negative occurrence at the very end. This restaurant is conveniently located on the Camden waterfront where most harbor/bay tours depart. It offers indoor/outdoor seating by the water. This past weekend with the windjammer festival, the town had a very healthy number of tourists, I being one of them. I gave this place a try, and given the late evening hour, I was able to secure a table outside with a great view. The experience was pleasant from the start; the server (Sarah M) had a very gregarious and friendly attitude; not to mention how attentive she was. The menu is full of seafood delights, and the daily specials looked equally tantalizing. After an engaging discourse with Sarah about the options I was contemplating, I settled on the Lobster corn chowder. Alas, they mixed up the order and I got the Clam chowder instead. I didn’t mind, and didn’t fuss about it. The clams were luscious and the soup was just the right texture. I then had the Maple pan seared Scallops, which were a delight. Definitely recommend this dish, especially since it is served with two sides. Normally, the sides are small accompaniments; but these were hearty portions. I had the house salad, which was very fresh, and sweet potato fries which were crisp and appetizing. Combining a very amiable server, with a hearty quintessential Maine seafood meal, I could not have been more satisfied. Then the experience changed completely. It was just about closing time. I settled the bill, and happened to be the last patron remaining on the outdoor patio. I needed to use the restroom, but found the main door leading inside to be locked. I got the attention of the staff inside, and my server immediately came out and asked her supervisor (or whatever her role was) to open the main door, which she did. They both pointed the way to the restroom. But then for some reason the supervisor very quickly and emphatically said ‘but there is a public restroom close by.’ I processed that as an informational statement, but then the following sentence ‘just because we are now closed,’ came as an overt ask which to me meant – ‘you can’t come in here, use the public bathroom on the pier.’ In the presence of the moment, I complied and while finding it strange, left the restaurant and went to the dark (no outdoor lights) public restroom in a nook on the pier. It then started to sink in that I was just nudged away from using the restaurant’s restroom, about five minutes after it had closed, and where I had just plunked a 35% tip for the great service I had received. My mind raced at trying to find an explanation or meaning to what had just happened. I have travelled to many parts of the World, including within the U.S., but this was a first of being denied the use of a restroom, a handful of minutes after the restaurant’s closing time and being a paying customer. I recalled the perplexed look on my server’s face also as all this was transpiring, and then I wondered if the same treatment would have been meted out, had I been sitting inside the restaurant, or if the two or three patrons remaining at the bar had wanted to use the restroom – would they have been ushered to the public facility? I cannot ascribe a motive or reason for this animus towards me; it had been just a few minutes past the closing time, and the staff were still picking up the tables, etc. There were no signs of the restroom being closed for cleaning or any other posted policy or notice that the bathroom could not be used by patrons after closing time. I think I have an idea as to why this happened, but I will leave it for the reader to assess and decide. Many people might have used a restaurant’s restroom after closing time, at one point or another, and they can judge this incident as they deem fit. One thing is certain; I will not be a repeat customer here.

After a harbour cruise we waited a short while for an outside table. Our foursome ordered a variety of courses and were each very pleased. Most popular was the surf and turf. We were able to take our time enjoying each course and a variety of wines. Our server Ryan made the experience particularly pleasant and did a great job catering to our individual tastes.

This is a touristy spot with a gorgeous view of the boats and yachts. Honestly, that’s the best thing about it. I had oysters, prosecco, and the “lazy lobster.” My husband went with the fried calamari and a dessert. The oysters and prosecco were great, but everything else was pretty underwhelming. The $50 lobster came in a tiny portion and was rubbery, served with uncut potatoes and butter packets on the side (seriously?). The dessert pie was clearly microwaved and overheated. I wouldn’t recommend this place if you’re coming for the food. But if you’re after a nice view, a few drinks, and some light snacks, it’ll do.

We took a sunset sailboat cruise and realized that most restaurants in Camden either required a reservation or were closing after the boat ride, so we ended up at Peter Ott’s. The line looked long but they were able to get my party of 2 in within 10 mins. As a vegetarian, there weren’t a ton of options, but the veggie burger was fine (pretty sure it was just a well executed frozen veggie patty) and the fries were good. My companion really enjoyed the lobster corn chowder and Caesar salad. Overall I don’t know as it’s a must-visit, but we had a nice time!

This place was a recommendation from the owners of the place we were staying. They raved about this place and they weren't wrong. Great location, able to sit outside, people watch while watching boats come and go. The food was delicous , fresh, and flavorful. We had fish Tacos and the lobster BLT, both were excellent.

A really great dinner! Our server Margaret was very sweet and attentive. She brought me a delicious blueberry mocktail drink from the bar.

We had the best time, even though it was cold & windy. We didn't get to see the second light house, so that was a bummer. But we did catch two lobsters and two crabs. Our captain & crew were awesome!! Would definitely book with them again!

Great cruise, it was very fun to learn how lobster catching is done and to learn about the area! I highly recommend!

The Lobster & Lighthouse cruise was the best way to introduce my daughter to Maine. Cassie was the best crew - informative, engaging, and very willing to give my daughter (and other guests) a hands-on experience. My daughter hasn't stopped talking about lobsters. Heads up to future guests doing vacation research: they take the departure time seriously. A group missed our boat because we left the dock at exactly 3:15 PM. There are warnings on the website, the confirmation email, and the reminder email I got the day before our cruise - so absolutely no blame on Camden Harbor Cruises. But this is 100% something where you should figure out parking and walking time well in advance.

Nice relaxing cruise around the harbor. The woman who lead the cruise was very knowledgeable and friendly. This is a great cruise for the price, but I do not recommend bringing little kids. There is no room to safely move around and theeres nothing very interesting for little ones. Highly recommend for adults or older kids though.

The Lobstering & Lighthouse tour was phenomenal!! We got a pretty chilly day, but they made it so fun and interesting. 100/100 would recommend to anyone visiting Maine!

This was very well done. Informative, entertaining, and thoughtful tour. We were hesitant as this is 'not our style' of traveling but we wanted access to observe costal life from the water. It was very well done and well worth the time and cost.

10/10 recommend this tour! This is our second time visiting Maine on vacation and this was a fun way to see the state we’ve fallen in love with from another view. Our tour guides were entertaining and full of fun facts and knowledge about lobstering and local history. You can tell they’re passionate about what they do, and it shows in the quality of the tour. This is a great activity to do with your kids. My kids even mustered the courage to hold a lobstah!

We asked to be seated on the deck but quickly realized our food would get cold fast and they graciously accommodated us back in the main dining room! Coffee; excellent. Blueberry pancakes (mixed thru the pancake); also excellent. Biscuits; way excellent but the star of the show was the sausage gravy! It was truly a spiritual experience! Never had better; could have eaten it by the gallon! The biscuits were so big we took 2 back to our hotel out of the 3 we ordered. Great atmosphere and service. Highly recommend; highly!

Loved the food and loved the service. Even tho my southern side was sad ( no sweet tea up north) I enjoyed the tasty warm feeling food. I had the lobster roll, grilled crab cakes, and Tomato Spinach soup with sourdough bread. DELICIOUS 😋 Don't forget to check out the hidden waterfall in the back of the restaurant.

They let you substitute cheddar with pimento cheese in their omelets, and I can’t believe I’d never thought to do that before — I’d come back just for that alone! We were seated at the counter (which I usually don’t love), but I actually really enjoyed the vibe. The waitress running the counter was friendly, patient, and made the whole experience feel relaxed and welcoming. Next time we’re in town, we’ll definitely be back to eat here again.

Wow, everything was so good. We can't back twice during our stay. That's hardly ever happens as I usually never eat at the same place during vacation that is how good it was that we had to return. On both times we ordered different things and everything was so good. The people where super friendly, nice and attentive which added to how good it was. Next time we come back I am here.

Both the lobster and the crab rolls were delicious! Food portions based on other tables, were very generous. Very friendly and caring staff and beautiful views from the outside deck overlooking the falls. Unbeatable value for your money. Loved it!

We went because of the location. Beautiful water fall. The food was good. The blueberry pancakes didn’t taste like they were cooked all the way. I got a grilled cheese instead. My daughter had her first lobster roll and my husband had fried clams and scallops for the first time. All the seafood was fresh. Sit outside if you can to enjoy the view.

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our breakast at Marriner's. We parked on the street and strolled to the restaurant, deciding to have our meal outside on the deck. Our server was great. The food (large portions) was served promptly and was uniformly delicious. In addition, the prices there are an exceptional bargain. We will eat there again the next time we visit Camden, Maine. Very highly recommended.

This cherished market has provided all folks who are blessed to cross their open doors with primary foods-from their bakery, from their meats and seafood, from their produce. Our favorite was to drop in, on the way to work, to get a perfect coffee and a ginger scone. Nothing better.

This was an adorable local market which includes a great deli section toward the back. Yummy sandwiches, salads, fresh baked goods etc. Reccomend for your grocery needs if you're in the area.

Very nice market for your needs. Good variety of wines, whole bean coffee plus a deli! Loved it. Wide selections of items for cooking in as well as ready made items from their deli. We stopped in several times during our Camden visit and found the staff friendly and knowledgeable.

Tried the chicken salad with cranberries & walnuts sandwich .. delicious. Had to get the house made Chex mix after reading the reviews. Very good! Also tried the peanut butter cookies...YUM! The employees were very friendly & helpful

HOUSE CHEX MIX: I don’t know what they put in this thing and cannot for the life of me replicate it but it is delicious and worth the exorbitant price. I buy it every single time.

2023:My original evaluation still stands. I picked a couple of small local jam jars this time for 6.50 each. 2019:A few unique items, some typical grocery items. Nice little store with fairly high prices. Have to pay for a bag and get a pretty thin bag without handles. The bags definitely could be better especially at a cost.

Yummy yummy in my tummy tummy. Great prices on meat and fish. Got sushi grade tuna at the fish counter and ate it in the park.

Ate on the 2nd floor, great view of boats in harbor. Enjoyed fish and chips. Also had clam chowder. Nice flavor and balanced seasoning. And yes, clams, enough to know it's clam chowder! Others in the party enjoyed the beef burgers and the vegetarian burger. They handled our large group well, especially considering all the food requests

Blaze started out the meal really strong giving us a great burger and pizza. But after that it fell apart. We waited 2 and a half hours for a lobster roll until finally having to cancel it. The food that was served to us was good but it seemed like the kitchen couldn’t get their act together with timing.

Blueberry soda was great. Duck fat fries were great as well. A bit more salt would take them to awesome level. The pizza was excellent, but just a little underdone in the middle. Probably tough to balance the heat between the edges and middle with a wood fired oven. Service was great and the waitress was very nice. Great experience overall!

I had a wonderful dinner in the taproom. The bartender was extremely knowledgeable and was able to make amazing recommendations for entire meal. I drank a couple of different sours that were wonderful! For dinner I had the pork belly lollipops. Those were truly the best meal of my entire vacation to Maine and I cannot recommend them enough. I wrapped up my meal with a slice of limincello cake. The entire experience was amazing and will be a mandatory stop next time I vacation in the area.

Blaze restaurant near Camden landing harbor Maine. If you want a quick lunch try Blaze ,I tried the duck burger with fried egg and bacon,fried egg was delicious but a bit disappointing on flavor profile of the duck burger, it was extremely bland, side of mac n cheese was delicious considering it had one cheese,would have loved it more if two or three different cheeses was used to give more depth. Cheeseburger with lettuce/tomatoes, French fries was adequate due to lack of flavor again. Blaze has a nice selection of craft beer. Perhaps today was a miss. In today economy there should never be a miss especially there are too many restaurant that maintain consistency and delicious food. $$$

The bartender was very nice and the facility is fun and funky. Location is nicely situated amongst the "action" of the town. We ordered 2 flights of various drinks with mixed results. I give them massive amounts of credit for offering a wide array of different beverages from craft beer to innovative ciders. That made the beverage exploration experience rather fun. There were some beers and ciders which we simply couldn't finish because the flavors were unpalatable for us personally. But, there were a few seasonal ciders which knocked our proverbial socks off. Based on our one time experience here, my advice is to ask the friendly bartender what they recommend based on the season and start with a flight. This will prevent you from committing to a full glass of beer or cider that you don't like or that even makes you dry heave with each continued sip as you try not to waste it by powering through the drink with a grimace. But, on the flip side, trying a flight will also allow you to hone in on that unexpected brew you truly love and want to drink an entire glass of that evening. Overall, we still had fun going out of our comfort zones to try the different beverages but we couldn't really suggest a beer that rocked our world.

Overall a good experience. Seated for lunch next to the waterfront. Server was friendly and explained the menu well. We had a pizza. You could tell it was wood fired and tasted excellent. We enjoyed our visit.

The restaurant’s location is great and our server was nice. However, the restaurant was quite empty, and it took us a long time to get her attention between interactions. We ordered the mussels, farro beet salad, and truffle fries. The mussels smelled terrible and tasted off; we couldn’t eat them. The farro beet salad had no flavor; it was just super bland. The fries were okay. We probably won’t come back, but maybe it was just a unlucky situation.

We went on a driving trip thru the New England coastal area and one f the stops was in Camden. Just a lovely town to visit and walk around. We made a reservation to eat at Fresh & Co. it was a very nice meal. We sat at an outside table and enjoyed all the street activity.

Absolutely amazing food, service and cocktails. Our server Nate was great! The pork chop was simply the best I’ve ever had! My husband had the seafood stew and he loved that too. Dessert and a dessert martini to finish off the meal 😋 We will be back for sure.

Great little place close to the water. They were able to accommodate us on Saturday night without a reservation. We started off with the fried Calamari which was excellent. We ordered the Eggplant Tajine and Lamb Ragu, both were excellent. The Lamb Ragu was exceptional. 👌

I loved this restaurant so much that I ate here 2 of my 4 nights in Camden. They have such a wonderful menu that changes often. I ate outside each of my 2 times. They have a global menu that was very appealing including dishes from Brazil and Africa. The Spitzers were very refreshing. On my first visit I had the Marcequa (spelling) which was basically a stew with Haddock, shrimp and mussels in a coconut lime broth with jasmine rice and tomatoes. I loved it so much I went back another night. The whole menu looks great. The service was excellent. The only issue that I had was that my dish was priced on the menu as $35 but rang up as $38. When I pointed it out, they said that the menu changes (but the price??) and he didn’t offer to get the manager or anything. It still was great and if ever in the area, I’d go back!! Things to note- Prices vary between menu and receipt. Bread and butter costs $4. The spritzers and the food are excellent!! Service very attentive!

Classic American spot with huge portions and great service. You definitely won’t leave hungry - everything hit the spot!

10/10 spot. Food is incredible and fresh. Service & Staff is great. Lobster Risotto is a must and the roasted red pepper dip.
