Lily Bay State Park - Dunn Point Campground
The fact that we had water access from our campsite makes this a 5-star experience for me. Sites were private enough and showers were available, although the "comfort station" is about a mile walk away from the campsites. The electrical outlets didn't work in any of the bathrooms, either, so bringing a blowdryer was useless. But that's just a minor inconvenience--everything else was great.

Sandy Beach Campground
Sandy Beach Campground
I was nervous at first when I pulled up in a camper van--the "campground" was very much geared towards seasonal campers in large RVs. However, I was able to grab one of just a couple open spots on a Thursday afternoon. The staff (and residents) were so friendly and helpful. There were restrooms with coin-op showers and also a laundry room. Knocked off one star for the lack of privacy between sites and for the price ($70+ for essentially a parking spot with water/electricity is a bit much imo--at least make the showers free! lol)

Moosehead Family Campground
Absolutely Wonderful
My large family and I spent a week here. First, the campground is easy to find and making reservations is a snap! The owners are two of the greatest people I’ve met. They are more than friendly and accommodating. They work hard keeping the entire property neat including the bathhouse. Honestly, it’s the cleanest bathroom/shower house I’ve seen. There is a playground for kids and plenty of room at each site for them to play. My family and I agree, this place is incredible and you would be foolish to go elsewhere.

Ugh, why would you stay here
This is worse than a rest area on the Jersey pike. The area consists of a bunch of pull-ins in an old gravel pit, and two semiprivate spots that are essentially pull offs from the pavement.
No service, no water, no electricity, 1 pit toilet.
On a paved road
20+ miles to the nearest town
Pack in Pack out.
There was one spot open, and I decided not to stay due to the sound of generators and the site being right on the paved road.

Very clean and well kept.
We were there for 3 nights, everything was very clean and the staff were very helpful and pleasant. I'd definitely try to go for the premium sites as they are more wooded.

Piscataquis Point
A hidden gem in central Maine
Spent a night at Piscataquis Point and had a great time! This was a very quiet and peaceful place but easily accessible from multiple directions and only like 20 mins from I-95. This spacious area has all the amenities covered allowing you to unplug and unwind like you’re in the middle of nowhere, the handcrafted touches from the outhouse to the fire pit add a unique, welcoming and comfortable feel. Sitting next to a warm, crackling fire listening to the sound of the river was truly the cherry on top and made for a very relaxing evening. This spot is somewhat of a hidden gem, clean and well up kept, this is the type of place that you’ll want to revisit again and again.

Pleasant River (Katahdin Ironworks)
How Camping Should Be
We have loved Katahdin Iron Works for a long time, it really is how camping should be. No hookups/power/water. Bring everything in and bring everything back out with you. There are outhouses near the pleasant river sites. Last time we were up there the rule was no units over 44' total with truck and camper. These sites really are best for tents or very small campers.

Moose Creek RV Resort
Awesome New Campground
Moose Creek RV Resort is in a great location in Greenville, close to town and to ATV trails. A good amount of ATV parking across the street.
The amenities are all brand new and beautiful, including the pool side bar. The sides are spacey and range from field sites to wooded more private sites.

Lone Jack Campsite
We love Lone Jack and area camping!
We have tent camped in several of the sites 4X in the past 3 years. 10/28/23 was last visit for the year. We never see many trucks or people. The sites are quiet, peaceful, very clean and outhouses are always in excellent condition. We thank the folks who care so well for the sites. We got there in a compact SUV 3 years ago, but go by truck now. The road in off the Capital Road has deteriorated a fair amount in past year, due to rains, we believe. Don't make the trip if you expect good roads, but if you like logging roads, this area is wonderful.
A M.GuideHappy Horseshoe Campground
Owners are so nice!!!
It's not our type if place, as the sites are rather close together, but it's a nice campground. Extremely clean, well- maintained. It's obviously a labor of love by the owners, because it is in pristine condition. Seasonal sites/Community events throughout the summer. Very Vintage Vibe!!

Northern Pride Lodge and Campground
Fantastic place to stay!
If you want to get away and have a moment for yourself, this is the place to be. You can enjoy the unbelievable sunrises or sunsets across the pond (which is over 7 miles long), or you can relax in your camper or tent. The food is fantastic too!

Branch Lake Camping area
Wonderful campground and a beautiful lake
This is a hidden gem. We really enjoyed this campground and the good people staying there. I would go back and stay longer next time.
We stayed 7 nights in site # 24. We had water & electric and there is a dump station onsite. Our site was waterfront we were right off the beach. The site was level and had some shade. If you have a small camper you can pull in forward and your door opens to the water. I couldn't pull in I had to back in yet having the dinette overlooking the lake was nice. Everyone was so nice and helpful. The lake has 26.5 miles perimeter and a maximum depth of 124'. We had loons come in close to our site. Saw an Eagle too.
We sat our chairs in the water and cooled down everyday and floated on our noodles. Great relaxing place.
The owners Shawn and Margaret do a nice job maintaining the campground and enjoy taking a dip at the swim beach like the rest of us.
There is a playground, a nice area to keep kayaks if your not on the water. There were adirondack chairs along the beach and the nice grassy area overlooking the lake. There are boat docks for smaller boats and some floating docks you can swim out to and enjoy.
There is a small store where the office is and a group bonfire pit every evening many of the people gather there.
There are some seasonal sites some are set up so nice.
They offer a pump out service twice a week which is nice.
The town of Ellsworth has everything you need. Walmart, home depot, the Global beverage store, laundry places, and best of all Martha's Diner. The best eggs benedict with ham. Shawn recommended it. Bangor isn't far either.
There is a vintage/antiques place called Relics that has great finds.
Dorr Lobster and seafood market serves lobster & crab rolls and sells fresh seafood. We bought some cooked, picked lobster meat and made lobster Alfredo for dinner. Very tasty!
Finn's Irish pub is good to. we had a good meal there it's on Main street. My husband had corned beef and cabbage I had Shepherds pie.
We found a great mobile Repairman that fixed our slide out while we were there. It broke the 2nd week of June and we couldn't find anyone to fix it. His name is Chris Burbelo his number is (207) 322-4526. He did a great job it was a cable slide and we'd had the motor & gear replaced before we left florida. It wasn't bolted to the wall correctly & it tore from the wall broke the chains and the cables all went slack. We spent 2 months with the slide stuck in. Chris works at a RV place in service and does side work on his spare time. He did several things for us and did a great job. Worth a million!
Thank you Shawn and Margaret for the great experience and Chris B for fixing our slide out.

Good spot if you got a vehicle with clearance
Drove my silverado out there no problem. We stayed on durgin Pond just past lone jack. One person at lone jack and we were alone at durgin. The accessibility makes means fewer people to bother you 😉
You can probably make the trip in anything awd with clearance and a little knowledge, like a truck, highlander, rav4 maybe, jeep

Rude,dirty,argumentive.
Advertised tent camping….No Vans not allowed in non electrical sites or 20 amp sites. Parts look like a homeless encampment, others look like a junk yard. When we found the owner he was unknowledgeable and rude.

I had no idea...
That camping could be so easy and fun! This is my first time actually camping in a tent for fun. (U.S. Army Veteran)The showers are nice and hot, it's quiet here at night, and it's such a chill atmosphere. Thank you guys for making my first camping trip a fun one! First got one night, turned into a week!

Lake St. George State Park
State Park Camping!
I love to visit Lake Saint George! As a state park it’s nice and clean and offers several comforts like a bathhouse with flushing toilets and showers. There is a day park for swimming with a life guard and an impressive playground for little ones. A lot of the campsites are waterfront and flat for tents. Very peaceful at night listening to the loons.
Joe D.TravelerLone Jack Campsite
Cool spot
This is a great backcountry spot! But you will need a vehicle with 4x4 and decent ground clearance. The road in takes you down atv trails and there is a hill that has a very steep incline that’s pretty washed out. Very easy to bottom out of you don’t know what you’re doing. I did it in a lifted Silverado but I recommend overland/jeep style vehicles as the rocks are big for Maine and you can easily damage your vehicle. Site itself is gorgeous with beautiful scenery and lots of wildlife.

Ashley here with The Dyrt. We love that this property offers level sites and plenty of firewood. Your hosts MJ & Jon are friendly and communicative. Although the sites a primitive there is a fire-ring and bathroom. Check them out and leave them some love!

Moose Creek RV Resort
More than an RV parking lot
This site, newly opened in the spring of 2022, shows tremendous promise for an RV resort. The owners put a lot of careful thought into the layout of the individual sites, planting trees that in a few years will provide a screen between individual sites. The next phase, due to be opened in 2023, already has individual campsites roughed out carefully into the existing tree cover, looks awesome even now. While a boondocker at heart I would happily stay here again.

Lily Bay State Park
Awesome campsites for all styles of camping
Lily Bay State Park is a great facility. Most of their sites offer shade. While the sites do not provide RV hookup ability, there is a dump station on site. The tenting only sites are premier locations; large and generously spaced. Almost all of the campsites are spaced well, with screening between them. The facilities are well maintained. This was real pleasure to visit in leaf peeping season!
allison W.LegendLeisure Life Family Resort
Nice place, but DIY is better
This is a pretty well appointed place to stay in Greenville, especially during the off season. We were there in October and it was not totally empty, but pleasantly quiet compared to what I imagine the summer months must be.
Looking at the prices, bear in mind that if you are self-contained either in an RV or in a car and tent, you can easily drive up into the woods and disperse camp . That also gives you direct access to the ATV trails in addition to more privacy and a better close to nature experience. Saw a lot of people doing this happily as I was exploring the logging roads north out of town.

Upscale newer campground with lots of amenities
The sites are good size, roomier than most rv parking lots as I call them.they have planted some evergreens so in s few yrs they’ll be some trees, but the way the spots are placed makes u not on top of your neighbor. The premiums are better. Beautiful new bathrooms with beautiful showers that are for male or female, which i loved, also had the handicapped and elderly in mind building the showers. I went it mid Oct so there were no crowds but they had a beautiful pool that was closed, newer laundry and never had to add more money to the dryers, lots of amenities for the kids and the pond was on property but I did not get to fish because the weather had taken a bad turn. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. We were trying to find moose and did not succeed but saw deer a few times, a red Fox, a grouse, turkey, a great blue heron and numerous ducks so wildlife is around. I thought the prices were reasonable
