Paddlers navigating the Moose River will find Camel Rips positioned directly at the rapids of the same name, offering boat-in access to this small Maine Bureau of Parks and Lands site. The campground accommodates up to two smaller tents and includes a fire pit with rustic benches, plus a picnic table that can support a tarp during rain. An outhouse sits a short walk from the camping area.
Located within Holeb State Park, the site provides the sound of flowing water as campers sleep beside the rapids. Visitors need a fire permit from Jackman before arrival, and the location works well for solo travelers or small groups exploring campgrounds outside Jackman. Depending on water levels and paddling skills, campers can either run the rapids or line their boats around them.
