Rangeley Lake State Park Campground

The each campsite is nice and private--I was lucky enough to get a site on the lake for my stay! The shower houses/restrooms are amazing--one big open room with a large shower, toilet, sink, bench, and towel rack. The only downside is you have to press the button for the shower to run, and it's only a few seconds each push, so you're constantly pressing a button as you're mid scrubbing. But hey--after a long day of hiking or swimming, that's no big deal!

Cute campground

Well maintained, nice bathrooms, showers, and dishes area. Quiet with little picnic area. Highly recommend. The sites closer to the lake have some standing water surrounding the sites. Stayed in 5 and it was super dry.

Clean, quiet, Ranger is awesome with info. None of the sites are directly on the water, but a few are close enough it can been seen through the trees.  Decent cell service with both AT&T and Verizon.

Quiet camping

Quiet 50 site campground on Rangeley Lake. Sites are well spaced with plenty of woods in between for privacy. We were not able to get a water site so we missed out on kayaking. Chris, the manager at check in was extremely nice and helpful.

Remarkably beautiful

We stayed there 1-4 September 2020. Zero bugs beyond a few basic house flies. Breathtaking water views and well maintained grounds and facilities. Many sites were on waterside of the beautiful lake-ours included. We were the only campers without kayaks or canoe— felt like we missed a golden opportunity and vowed to acquire kayaks ASAP.

Campers were thoughtful about privacy and COVID-19 precautions, and quiet hours. Our stay was truly relaxing and the natural setting was amazing. Staff was friendly, informative and professional. We’ll revisit soon, with our new kayaks!

Quiet, private

Great park camping. The water pressure in the showers is a highlight. Large, mostly level sites, and most are rather private. Access to park amenities like lake and hiking trails.

Have camped here in summer (be prepared for bugs) and winter (no services) and enjoyed every visit. There are cooking grated at check-in for the fire rings if you want, and a spot to deposit trash and returnable son the way out. Super reasonable rates and easy check-in process.

Cozy, Quiet, and Covid-19 respectful.

We had the privilege to be surrounded by beautiful trees. Were amazed by the concert of the Loons on the lake. Amenities were more than sufficient. The sites are fairly private, most of them spaced well. Definitely on our list of campgrounds to revisit. Thank you to the people who make it a nice place.

Great jumping-off point for Rangeley area adventures

Safe, clean campground with a peaceful vibe. Plenty of friendly rangers and hosts on site for any assistance. Dry firewood for sale on site and plenty of kindling in the woods if the weather has been dry. Good hot showers. All sites are a short walk to the lakeshore and the campground is a short drive to dozens of beautiful and diverse hikes, waterfalls, local museums, fishing spots, and wildlife viewing.
