Umcolcus Sporting Camps

Booked my deer hunt for Thanksgiving week 2025 with Umcolcus Sporting Camps/Spaulding Lake Outfitters after finding them online and I cannot say enough positive things about Chuck and Lisa. Chuck was able to share an amazing amount of knowledge and is intelligent/hardworking enough to accommodate any guest of any skill level. Lisa made phenomenal meals everyday and was the kindest hostess you could ask for. They made me feel like one of the family while I spent the holiday with them. To top it all off, I had the opportunity to take a top-tier big woods buck. Overall, Umcolcus Sporting Camps is a phenomenal place to unplug and the hosts are flexible enough to work with anyone who is interested in experiencing the Maine woods, whether that be hunting, fishing, trapping, biking, hiking, or just relaxing in nature.

My brother pulled a moose tag in 2021 and secured accommodations and a guide here. I was his second on the tag and he got his moose. Better yet, we got to know the previous managers and present owner/managers of the camp and now secure a cabin here the same week every year for the past five years. The food and the hunting are outstanding. The Oxbow checkpoint to the North Woods is about 20 minutes... My brother pulled a moose tag in 2021 and secured accommodations and a guide here.

The food and the hunting are outstanding. The Oxbow checkpoint to the North Woods is about 20 minutes away. Lake Umcolcus area, about the same. If I was retired I’d stay at the camp for a month. Always feel a little sad when it’s time to leave.

The new owner's Chuck and Lisa are absolutely awesome! We unfortunately had a sled break down on our way to there camp. And Chuck offered to come get us with his truck and trailer. We ended up towing it to there camp. When we arrived Chuck offered his own personal sled to use. Unfortunately it was in the shop. But the offer was very generous.

But the offer was very generous. Lisa and Chuck are wonderful people. And they made our short stay wonderful. The cabin was clean, warm and ready for us upon our arrival. The shower house was exceptionally clean. And the food........wow!! Lisa is the bomb in that kitchen. Her deserts was some of the best I've tasted. Breakfast and the dinners were awesome. This is our 4th year staying at Umcolcus camps. And this year with Chuck and Lisa and "Duke". I give a 6 ☆ rating!!!
