GuideCar camped Friday October 9, Columbus Day weekend, their last open weekend. CG was mostly full. Sites are too tightly packed for my liking and tent camping cost $38. Staff was neither friendly or unfriendly. Shower facilities were quite nice. Spacious with lots of room to shower and change without risk of getting clothes wet.
GuideThis is one of our “go to” campgrounds when in NH. Super clean and good mountain biking.
GuideThis is out 2nd time here. Bathrooms, showers and laundry facilities are very clean and well maintained. Water sites are close together but the views are great. It’s very pleasant here.
ScoutWe got the last site. I assumed it would be a blah experience- I don’t usually stay at giant campgrounds with RV camping- I had it all wrong though. What a great place! It’s a very quiet, respectful place. Families everywhere who all are respectful- no screaming kids, drunk campers or barking dogs. Everywhere you saw folks walking, peddling bikes, rollerblading, and scooters. Kids playing happily in the park or having an old-school experience. The sites were spaces out enough so you have privacy with neighbors nearby. We lucked out that a blues band was rocking the pavilion- a great, friendly party where all ages were grooving and having fun. The lake boasts gorgeous views of The Bigs which I couldn’t get enough of. I’m not going to lie- most of the plates were Maine on Labor Day weekend. This strikes me as a home-based vacation that many Maine-ahs enjoy again and again. This Maine-ah will stay again on our next hike…
TravelerPros: We have the p lube nearly to ourselves, thus it was very similar to dispersed camping. Nice little campground with two small ponds (One for fishing, the other for swimming). Nothing very remarkable, though.
Cons: As others have mentioned, if you want flush toilets and pay showers, you have to either stay at the more crowded, larger loop or walk across the highway to get to those amenities.
ScoutI've camped here several times (June, July, August, September, and October) over the last couple years--usually at no-hookup sites. Most of the sites get enough sun to keep batteries charged and most of the sites are free of Starlink obstructions. I usually stay there mid-week and it's very quiet.
It's an easy drive to some of the best trout fishing in Maine and New Hampshire.
The grounds and facilities are extremely well maintained. The staff is great, and I've met some fabulous people camping there.
It's Maine so the blackflies and mosquitoes can be a challenge early in the season. And toward the end of the season, you'll want a vacuum cleaner to deal with the Asian lady beetles that have invaded all of northern New England.
GuideNice campground in a beautiful location. This place is a bit off the beaten path of White Mountain tourist areas but is still within easy drive to all the major attractions. We picked this spot for that exact reason. Open field camping in the middle with wooded sites on the edges of the park. I originally chose a site that was a bit too small to properly unhook the trailer but staff helped me get a better location. Site 17 was too tight for 44 ft total length. Switched to site 5 pull through. Some sites face each other for camping with friends. Follow their map to pull in correctly. Staff is excellent and very helpful. Small store on site with necessities and fire wood. FYI Amenities: pool, playground, laundry (affordable) hot showers. Off season so the place was not busy, very quiet. This is on our short list for when we return next year.
ScoutStayed in a tent they do have multiple tent sites RV sites and cabins available more than enough room for tents they have a beautiful pond in the back they have showers or a shower and toilet for those that need it a common room for those that want to cook food play games watch movies. it's about 11 minutes to the grocery store in downtown colebrook. The owners are amazing people they are very nice and kind. This place is really a hidden gem
TravelerStaff was very helpful. We arrived,after a 3 1/2 hour drive, early for check in but were able to go to our site. The lean-to site was beautifully situated by the incredible river making it easy to take a dip or go fishing. The pit toilet behind the site is our only complaint. There were times we could smell the stench from our site. There is construction work at the campground as they build bathhouses that should be done by next spring. Hopefully, they get rid of the pit toilets.
The Western Maine Mountains region around Byron sits at elevations between 800-1,500 feet with numerous lakes and ponds connected by the Androscoggin watershed. Summer temperatures typically range from 45-80°F with cool evenings even during July and August. The area's dirt logging roads provide access to remote camping locations but can become muddy after rainfall.
Fishing for trout and salmon: Aziscoos Valley Camping Area provides access to quality fishing along the Magalloway River. "Some of the best brook trout and landlocked salmon fishing nearby. Great place for canoe or kayak trips," notes one visitor who recommends being well-provisioned before arrival since supplies aren't readily available.
Moose watching at dawn/dusk: Lake Francis State Park Campground offers excellent wildlife viewing opportunities. "This area is definitely a great spot to view moose or go fishing. It is also near Umbagog National Wildlife Refuge where you can view moose and loons galore," shares a camper who enjoyed kayaking and photography in the area.
Mountain biking on logging roads: The extensive network of roads around Byron provides challenging terrain for cyclists. At Cathedral Pines Campground, campers can "explore the area in search of moose" and access "many area trails" directly from their campsite according to visitors who appreciate the park's proximity to outdoor adventures.
Riverside camping with tubing: Aziscoos Valley Camping Area gets high marks for its location. "The river is clean with a solid though slightly rocky bottom and a moderate current that is suited for wading if that is your thing and excellent for tubing," explains a camper who stayed for a week. Sites include fire pits with grates that are "very clean and well kept."
Private glamping near water: The Loon's Nest provides a more intimate experience similar to other glamping in Byron, Maine. A visitor notes it's "the perfect setting to enjoy the best of Maine, sitting along the lake with several mountains nearby" with hosts who are "experienced with hosting guests and are excited to provide a great experience."
Clean facilities despite remoteness: Campgrounds in the region maintain surprisingly good amenities. At Mollidgewock State Park Campground, "The pit toilet was very clean, well-ventilated, and stocked with toilet paper and hand sanitizer," according to a recent visitor who appreciated the well-maintained sites despite the rustic setting.
Limited cell service: Coverage is spotty throughout the region. At Aziscoos Valley, visitors report that "ATT and Verizon both provided cell phone service at our site but data service was not useful on either." Plan accordingly by downloading maps and information before arrival.
Weather preparedness: Temperature swings of 30-40 degrees between day and night are common. Pack accordingly even for summer stays. As one camper at Milan Hill State Park Campground notes, "We did the yurt for 2 nights. Man was it amazing. The north country and wandering back roads to find cool waterfalls and lakes." Yurts provide better protection from overnight temperature drops.
Limited supplies: Stock up before arrival as stores are limited. A Mollidgewock visitor warns, "Errol is a small community, with only a few convenience stores, gas stations, gift shops and restaurants in town. You'll want to keep in mind that many places are closed Sundays and Mondays. Make sure you plan ahead!"
Kid-friendly swimming areas: Honey Run Campground and Beach provides accessible water recreation for children. "Perfect stay if you have kiddos and dogs! There's a playground, arcade, and beach. They offer kayak and canoe rentals," reports a family who enjoyed their three-day tent site with water and electric hookups.
Playground access: Several campgrounds feature dedicated children's areas. Papoose Pond Family Campground receives consistent praise from parents: "This campground is amazing. It is perfect for family camping. There is so much to do for all ages. The staff are amazing and so friendly."
Rainy day alternatives: Look for campgrounds with indoor facilities. At Cathedral Pines, "There's also a small rec hall as well as a cabin for games/reading/puzzles on a rainy day" which helps keep children entertained during inclement weather.
Hookup availability: Cupsuptic Lake Park & Campground offers RV sites with utilities. A camper notes they "tented here 30 years ago and in a motor home this year. It's a nice place on the lake" with "miles of logging roads across route 16 that are great for bikes."
Dump station locations: Not all campgrounds provide full services. Lake Francis has "a small campground office staffed with a friendly host" and includes "a sink with hot running water where you can wash your dishes." RVers should plan their tank emptying strategically since dump stations are limited in the region.
Road conditions: Many access roads are unpaved and can be challenging after rain. Call ahead about current conditions before bringing larger rigs. At Mollidgewock, Google Maps sometimes directs visitors to "a closed entrance to the park" so confirm directions with the campground directly.
