Where Every Path Leads to a Good Meal
From the first cup of coffee to the last bite before sunset, Happy Trails is the heart of Camp DeForest. It’s where hikers refuel, locals linger, and travelers find a little comfort in the classics — all served with a side of camp nostalgia and Maine hospitality.

Everyone’s Welcome
You don’t have to be an overnight guest to pull up a chair. Whether you’re passing through, meeting friends, or just craving something familiar done right, Happy Trails is open to all — a place where good food and good company never go out of style.

On the Menu 
Elevated takes on American camp favorites — think perfectly grilled hot dogs, burgers, chilis, and old-fashioned sides made from scratch. Pair your meal with a craft beer, a glass of wine, or signature camp cocktail and settle in for a taste of summer, no matter the season. Truly the tastiest gourmet hot dogs on Maine’s mid-coast!

The Spirit of the Campfire, Served Daily
Happy Trails celebrates the simple pleasure of a great meal shared in good company. It’s a nod to the roadside diners and camp canteens of decades past — reimagined for today, and open for adventure from noon to night.
