Otter Creek Market

Great lobster and the nicest service!

Fantastic customer service, and one of the nicest store owners I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. Good array of camping supplies, and a nice selection of cold beer, including locally made blueberry ale.
Normally I’m far too lazy to write a review, but we had such a good experience at this store that I thought I really should. We had a somewhat unfortunate time trying to start a fire in the blackwoods campground after buying wood and a starter log from here. We went back to ask for advice, and he was as confused as we were about why the logs wouldn’t stay lit. He gave us another bundle of wood, some of his own kindling, and lighter fluid for free. In the end, it turns out that the supplier of the logs had left them out in the rain, and while they were dry on the outside, internal moisture kept them from burning correctly. We didn’t get a fire to stay lit that night, but the store owner refunded our money without us asking, saying he hoped we would be back. We certainly will be if we’re on Mount Desert Island again.

So very very friendly! My husband and I had forgotten some parts of our tent and stopped here in hopes they sold tents. They didn’t. But that didn’t stop the owner from suggesting several places for us to go to find one and even offering to go to his shed to look to see if he had a personal tent for us to borrow. Aside from that, we stopped here almost every day to buy ice and drinks for the road and the employees were always nice and took their time with you. They have great customer service, that’s for sure!
