"Nice trail to the river next to our site. Dog friendly. Fun little scavenger hunt for kids of all ages. Short walk over to Coos Canyon rest area with great swim holes."
"We stayed at the main campground in 2021. The campground was a nice place and the sites are generally under shaded trees and included electric and water."
$28 / night
"This campground is privately owned and is situated in an amazing spot in the mountains of Western Maine."
"This small, private campground just outside Grafton Notch State Park offers clean, level, quiet sites with hot showers. If you don’t need wi-fi and hook-ups, this is the place for you!"
$20 - $30 / night
"Our camp sites were next to each other but also very private. No water or electricity except at the main bathrooms where there are showers, toilets and a dish wash station. Beautiful lake!"
"Mount Blue is an awesome Maine State Park about 2 hrs. north-west of Portland, 1hr from the White Mts. in NH and 1.5 hours from the Quebec border. "
"Very nice has a pool close to grafton state park"
"Sites are a little close to each other, but they're very long. Great pool, fun rec room area (we learned how to play shuffleboard!) We were the 2nd tiny house there!"
$45 - $80 / night
"In addition, there are a few pit toilets scattered around.
Sites are generally small and wooded, but sites 1a-d and 3-4 are open/sunny and near the beach."
"This campground is right on the lake with access to boating and fishing. The bathrooms are clean and also nice showers. The overall layout of the sites is a little weird as you pull around."
"This is my 2nd year returning to lone mountain river front camping in Andover Maine. The peace and tranquility here is tough to beat."
"This location has stunning landscape, but getting there is somewhat difficult. I used a Google map to find the path, but it didn't take me to the exact address I was looking for."
"We've been wilderness camping on Lake Richardson with South Arm Campground for many, many years. "
"There remote campsites along the lake. The campground is very dog friendly and being a dog owner I found that great."
$20 - $40 / night
"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."
"The sites closer to the lake have some standing water surrounding the sites. Stayed in 5 and it was super dry."
$29 - $40 / night
"Absolutely beautiful positioning next to a river. Clean sites - many covered in grass with wildflowers which were stunning."
"It is also near Umbagog National Wildlife Refuge where you can view moose and loons galore! I've enjoyed kayaking and photography there. "
"It is very close to the highway so there there is some traffic noise but not bad. Tents are in a different area."
"There was a very cool suspension bridge to take you to on a walk to a private island. I definitely plan on visiting again!"
TravelerI was shocked to find Deer Mountain mostly empty in the middle of summer. It doesn’t have the amenities of some state parks, but nearby Lake Francis SP is available for showers, etc. This is a great location for those who want to get away from the crowds and noise. There’s a wide variety of birds for those who are interested.
Site 28 is worth the short hike to get there. Don’t be put off if you don’t have backpacking gear: there is a wagon to help haul stuff to the site and back.
A few things to know, though: the trees have grown and the view from the tent platform no longer looks like the photos on ReserveAmerica. It’s a much more limited water view, but still gorgeous. There are no trees suitable for hammock camping with a view. And much of the site and surrounding area is a giant Canada Goose latrine. (Imagine a dog park where no one has ever cleaned up after their pets.)
GuidePerfect stay if you have kiddos and dogs! There’s a playground, arcade, and beach. They offer kayak and canoe rentals. We grabbed a tent site for 3 days and it had water and electric! You get a picnic table and fire ring
GuideIt is beautifully quiet here! We are at site 2 and it’s right on the water! Good space in between sites. Lots of privacy! The light breeze coming off the mountains is absolutely perfect! Will definitely be coming back!
TravelerThere are 15 tent sites along the water, and a quick walk from the parking area. There is no running water, only a porta potty but it was great for a place to stay the night while exploring the white mountains
ScoutStayed in water and electric spot via tent. There are a lot of different spots. Ours was very secluded, but could hear passing cars which is fine.
GuideThis was among the mist beautiful campsites I have ever stayed at. Large sites with space between neighbors. We had enough privacy to open the shade on our big picture window on our tiny teardrop and fall asleep looking at the stars. Download an area map before you arrive, we lost cell service on the way here and couldn’t rely on navigation. Friday and Saturday nights were fully booked. On Sunday, people could drive in and pick a spot. You need cash if you pay at the entrance. Lots of license plates from NH, MA, ME. On Sugarloaf trail, we encountered lots of first-timers and lots of repeat customers.
TravelerWe had a great stay at coos canyon campground! Didn't have too much interaction with staff, but when we did they were very friendly. We had site 7. Sites are good size, and not super close to neighbors. Wifi only works at the camp store, there are extenders throughout the camp, and it worked at our site the first day but didn't after that. The office was surprised it worked for us on day 1 and said they couldn't fix it because it wasn't supposed to work. There isnt any activities like some other campgrounds we've been to, just a small playground, but the canyon and the river give you lots of outdoor things to do. Rent a pan or sluice from the coos canyon rock and gem shop a 3 min walk from the office and pan for gold in the river right from the campground! Fishing, hiking, cliff jumping, and swimming can all be done with a quick walk all while staying in the campground. The camp store has some bare necessities, but did not have any bug swatters (the horse flys can get crazy here) but a spatula from the camp store worked OK. We will definetly be back for some more gold prospecting!
TravelerWe stayed on site #5 because it was flat, sunny, grassy and had a little brook. Had some passing by traffic but each site is far apart from each other.
GuideThis a beautiful spot, right on the Lake, listened to the loons, watched Canadian Geese with their goslings and saw a bald eagle swoop down and try to get something. There is a Really nice grocery store near by. We went to Maine Cabin Masters Store, which if you’re a fan was fun.
