Where the Night Glows
As the sun dips behind the pines, the Lantern Bar comes alive inside the Lodge at Camp DeForest. It’s the heart of camp after dark — where stories stretch long, glasses clink softly, and the glow of a lantern sets the mood for the evening.

Everyone’s Welcome
You don’t have to be an overnight guest to pull up a stool or settle in by the fire. Locals, travelers, and friends of Camp DeForest are all invited to unwind beneath the rafters or out on the porch beneath the stars.

On the Menu 
Classic and custom camp cocktails, regional craft beers, and thoughtfully chosen wines — alongside a small-plate menu featuring shareable snacks, late-night bites, and a few fireside favorites.

The Spirit of the Campfire, Bottled
Lantern Bar is equal parts nostalgia and new discovery — a toast to simple pleasures, good company, and the quiet magic of Maine nights.
