Review Detail

I have nothing to criticize and a whole host of things to praise about Great Pond Recreation Area. This place is just incredible and it's exactly what we were hoping to find. We stayed in a Yurt with our two young kids (3 and 6). It was clean, comfortable, spacious, and well equipped. The campground is in a remote wooded area but it's an easy walk back to the main office and rec center. Each Yurt is equipped with an outdoor table, a propane grill (with propane), a fresh water spigot, a heater/AC, dishes, cooking utensils, bunk beds, a fold-out twin sofa, and a futon. All you really need to bring to be comfortable is sleeping bags and/or bedding. We rented a small powerboat on-site to explore Great Pond and to do some fishing. It was reasonably priced ($30 for the day) and it was perfect for our family. We also made the 1-mile hike to Rift Pond and used the canoes that are placed at the pond. I just can't say enough good things about all this place has to offer... The staff members at Great Pond were simply fantastic. They were knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful at every turn. Each Yurt contains a guest book filled with entries written by past patrons and page after page describe ways the staff have gone out of their way to help make memories. If you are looking for a remote getaway with tons of activities for families in a friendly atmosphere, this is definitely your place. We will be back again and again!
