Big Lake RV Park & Campground

A great realatively new campground opened in Big Lake Township, Maine near the town of Grand Lake Stream. This area is legendary for their superb fishing and hunting and was a favorite of outdoor enthusiasts like Theodore Roosevelt. The campground is suitable for any size RV, has full-hookups, very well kept, direct lake access, and the owners are extremely friendly and helpful. The campground was built in a farm field so there are no shade trees. There are back-ins and pull thru sites, the latter of which are very long and can accommodate RVs towing cars or large trailers. The roads are gravel and easily navigable for large RVs. There are no signs along the road leading to the campground, but Google Maps directed us to the right place. Most sites are level– we found a couple of pull thrus that would be a challenge for us to get level. All campsite pads are gravel and the patios are nice thick grass with picnic tables and fire pits. Hookups are well-placed and worked well. The bathrooms are new and extremely clean and were tended to daily. Bathrooms are private and have a toilet, shower, and sink in each one. 

There is a nice store and check-in facility conveniently located in the campground.  Access to Big Lake is a short (1/4 mile) walk from the campground down a mowed path.  There is also a public launch a short distance away that would accommodate trailerable boats. The campground is fairly remote with the closest “big” town of Calais about twenty-five minutes away. The town of Grand Lake Stream is much smaller with a restaurant/general store. There are nice hiking trails nearby and we loved paddling the Musquash Stream which is full of bird life and lots of beaver lodges. We highly recommend the Big Lake RV Park and Campground and would definitely go back!
