About this venue

Camp DeForest is a rustic-chic retreat tucked into the evergreens of Maine’s Midcoast, where bay breezes and pine air set the tone. The design takes its cues from the golden age of American summer camps, with classic wood cabins, a central lodge, and playful mid-century details woven throughout. Guests step into a world that feels both nostalgic and elevated: evenings around the campfire, games in the lounge, starlit walks down wooded paths. The atmosphere is warm, whimsical, and unhurried — a place where groups can truly take over the property, celebrate without distraction, and feel as though they’ve discovered a timeless hideaway. Whether it’s a waterfront wedding, a family reunion, or a creative retreat, the style of Camp DeForest balances analog charm with thoughtful comforts, offering a setting that is as authentic as it is unforgettable.

    We didn’t want a ballroom wedding or a cookie-cutter venue. We wanted something that felt intimate and genuinely us. Camp DeForest exceeded every hope we had and then somehow went further! The setting is magical without being precious. Woods, firepits, cabins, and a lodge that is super cozy. What truly sets Camp DeForest apart is the team. They team handled everything with an incredible eye for detail. Nothing felt rushed or unimportant. We felt supported and genuinely celebrated!
