This is a really special property. Becky is a great host - communicative, welcoming, and always seem to be available. Her and her family have created a great environment for her guests' comfort. You have a spectacular view right on the St Johns River. The house is spacious and has everything you need. We cook a lot ourselves and the kitchen was great. There's plenty of room for entertaining especially with the separate Pavilion and the cedar hot tub. There are a couple of fire pits and a couple of great barbecue grills. It's a super value and as a bonus it was a great place to have our dog with plenty of room outside. We would stay there again in a heartbeat.

Thank you so much Scott! You were a wonderful guest and we can’t wait to have you back!
Great cabin in the middle of the woods. It was a lovely alternative to tent sleeping and the outside patio area was the great hangout area. Highly recommend to get away from city and work life.

This was our second time staying at the amazing Caron Camp! It is the perfect getaway for those who need a peaceful and relaxing north woods getaway. You have access to the incredible Maine north woods where you can fish, kayak, canoe, hike or look for wildlife. Becky the host is so lovely, kind, and responsive! The camp is always super clean, spacious, and offers a variety of seating areas no matter what the weather. We look forward to staying again!

Thank you for being such amazing guests - as always!!
Amazing views, amazing place, amazing accommodations, amazing host. Anything more positive that I could say still wouldn’t do the host and property justice. A+++ to infinity….
We successfully got away for a bit to have some peace and quiet. We were blown away with the house, amenities and the view! It was everything we needed. Becky is an excellent host who made sure every detail was perfect. We plan on a visit again this winter.
The caron camp was a great place. Great communication was everything they said it was.The bonus was being able to feed the deer during these cold months in the north woods.Thanks for a wonderful stay would highly recommend and would stay again if going to spen time in the areardefinitely recommend and saty again if

You two are amazing! Thank you. Looking forward to your next time! 💕
It was a short sweet trip to unwind and unplug for a couple of days. Becky was great to work with and accepted our very last minute booking. We arrived on our own schedule, enjoyed the wood fired hot tub, the sound of the river was so relaxing. We had a little doc visit us both mornings. It was a magical place for a retreat to get a way from the hustle and bustle of life. Well stocked and thought out.

So happy you two enjoyed! It was a pleasure hosting you! :) Come again one day!
I cannot say enough about this stunning property. The views and scenery are even more breathtaking in person than in the pictures. The camp had everything that we needed and then some. Property is fantastic for stargazing! We were able to travel on the Maine logging roads and enjoy local restaurants in St. Francis and Fort Kent. Becky was great with responding when we had questions and an issue with the bathroom light and fan! We highly recommend and can’t wait to go back again!

Thank you Chris! You are welcome to come back to camp anytime! We look forward to your next visit as you were a most excellent guest! :)
My husband and I booked this property to celebrate our 17th wedding anniversary and after driving for over 12 hours to get there, we were very pleased with our choice. The views were spectacular, everything was spotless and easy to find, and the outdoor kitchen and hot tub were the stars of our trip. We brought our dog and though we had to keep him leashed for safety purposes, he had a wonderful time exploring and enjoying nature. Would definitely visit this property again! Hosts were wonderful as well. Hint to future travelers, bring some binoculars. It was the only thing I wished I had brought with me.
Looking for peace, outdoor adventure, and an astounding property? You have found it! The Caron Camp is everything you could ask for--all the amenities and then some--located in the beautiful (and pristine) Maine woods. Becky was absolutely incredible and I can't thank her and her family enough for their generosity and hospitality. We were planning our second trip after the first night. Also, my dog loved running around the trails and chasing the deer scents!

Thank you Kelli! You were as amazing guests! Please come back someday! :)
My husband and I stayed with our three children (7, 5, & 18months). Everything from booking, to checking in, and our stay was fabulous. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed. The driveway was a really good place for my older two to ride their bikes. Becky was amazing with answering any questions we had.
If you’re looking for an peaceful cabin in the woods, this is the place. If we come back up in the area, I would definitely stay again.
Thank you, Becky!

Thank you for taking such good care of our cabin, Bailey & Family! Looking forward to hosting you all again one day! :)
The Caron Camp is a perfect getaway for those looking for quiet, relaxation, water, and wilderness in the great north woods. The camp is fully stocked with perks like an outdoor kitchen and cedarwood hottub! The camp is located in the north woods of Maine so if you are looking to ride the backroads looking for wildlife, or a place to paddle around this is it. You will be immersed in the beauty nature has to offer.
Becky our host was so kind and easily reachable as she responded to our questions in a timely manner. She made sure we had everything we needed to make this trip amazing. This stay has made a lasting impression and we are excited to go back some day! :)
My husband and I had an incredible week here! What a gorgeous place, truly stunning! The house is even more beautiful in person if thats possible; it had everything we needed and more! The host Becky was very responsive and made us feel at home! We would definitely recommend this listing to anyone who needs to unplug and tune into nature! Would definitely stay here again!
