Camp Cobbossee

Lakeside Retreats at Cobbossee sits on 125 acres along a mile of magnificent shoreline amid Maine's lush forests and national parks. It is conveniently located approximately 15 miles from Augusta, and 1 hour from the Portland airport. The 11-mile long, beautiful, pristine lake is a definite highlight with a small private island 250 yards off the lakefront dock – a great spot for adventure programs.

Cobbossee is located just one half mile from Lakeside Retreats' other Maine property, Kippewa. The two facilities can be rented in tandem by very large groups that require separate facilities (split by gender, age or corporate divisions) but still want to meet as a large group and have some shared activities.
