    Camping permits are issued at the checkpoint upon entrance to the North Maine Woods area. Camping is allowed at designated, marked camping areas for a two week maximum time per campsite. The North Maine Woods map, DeLorme's Maine Atlas and Gazetteer, and maps at the checkpoints show campsite locations.

    Due to the expanse of the area and staff limitations, campsites are available on a first come/first served basis. Reservations are not accepted.

    There are two types of campsites available for use:

    Authorized Campsites While all campsites are rustic, there are steel firerings, cedar picnic tables, and toilets at authorized campsites. Fires may be carefully built in the steel firerings. A Maine Forest Service Fire Permit is not required.

    Designated Fire Permit Campsites These are locations where overnight camping is allowed but where building camp fires requires a Maine Forest Service Fire Permit. The locations of designated fire permit campsites are shown by a different symbol on the maps. These campsites have fewer facilities than authorized campsites. Although many fire permit campsites are not as attractive as authorized campsites, November hunters prefer sheltered locations rather than windswept lake shore campsites.

    AMC Gorman Chairback Lodge

    Pampering in Maine's 100-mile wilderness

    General: One of three AMC (Appalachian Mountain Club) lodges in Maine’s 100-mile wilderness. This one is located on Long Pond and has 12 cabins plus a bunkhouse. One of the cabins is ADA-accessible. There is a lodge with a living room, dining hall, games, and small store. 

    Cabin Quality: Eleven of the cabins are very basic with varying amounts of sleeping arrangements. The ADA-accessible cabin has two bedrooms, electric outlets, and a bathroom with a shower. 

    Bath/Shower house: If you are staying in the bunkhouse or a non-ADA-accessible cabin, the bathrooms and showers are in the main lodge. There is also a sauna.

    Activities/Amenities: Three meals per day are included. A hearty breakfast and dinner plus a bag lunch. Dietary restrictions are honored. When there is a small group of guests, meals are served family style; for larger groups, they are served buffet style. Rowboats, kayaks, and paddle boards are available at no additional charge, but the wind was too strong for us to get on the water when we were there. In the winter months, snowshoes are available. You can also cross-country ski from but need to bring your own skis. The hikes are awesome! I hiked the Third Mountain Trail directly from the lodge. Signage was excellent. I also hiked the Gulf Hagas Trail, but this requires a drive to get to either of the two trailheads. Don't even try for cell service!

    Note that this lodge and cabins are accessible by an approximately 20-mile dirt road from the west and 15 miles from the east. Your fee includes a hefty parking/road use fee. The staff was very present and provided excellent service during our two-night stay.

    Amazing

    The game mechanics are smooth, and the controls are intuitive, so it’s easy to get the hang of it, whether you’re a beginner or more experienced. I haven’t encountered any glitches or performance issues, which is a big plus, especially when you’re in the middle of an intense round. check out https://pandamasterdownload.com/

    Lunksoos Campground — Katahdin Woods And Waters National Monument

    Nice location, still has the feel of being newly constructed

    Checked out these sites for an upcoming visit. Stayed down the road at Sandbank this time. If you are tenting this is preferable as Sandbank is open to RV's and is noisier.

    Some changes to regulations since Jean's review in 2021.

    No fire permit is needed if you use the fire ring provided

    First-come-first-served only for a single night. Reservations from recreation.gov are recommended for longer stays or on weekends. $8 reservation fee, free camping up to 14 days, no refunds.

    Her photo of the campground map is still accurate.

    It's a long, bumpy, and dusty road to basically an 18-site parking lot. The only amenity is a pit toilet (which is fine, just noting). Great for kayaking and listening to loons, but doesn't have the "camping" feel with the lack of trees and privacy.

    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.

    My husband and I camped at one of three tent sites that are located right on the lake. There is a new (or at least very clean) Porta-Potty for these three sites to share. There was also a VERY outdated/pieced together shower house near the office--something is better than nothing, I suppose. Back to the campsites: private, good amount of space, a picnic table, a firepit, and a trash can provided at each site. We did have some cleaning up to do when we arrived--bottle caps and even some Mich Ultra bottles littered the ground. But overall we had a pleasant stay--being on the lake was enough for us to overlook the litter we had to pick up when settling in.

    Great Views

    Great spot is you don't mind dry camping. Amazing views of the surrounding mountains. There are two sites and plenty of space between them. When I went (labor day weekend) there was a porta-potty about 1.5 miles down the road. Plenty of trail heads nearby. About 30 mins to downtown Greenville.

    Dead River Access on Long Falls Dam Road

    Beautiful location on the river

    The main camping area has about 10 long narrow sites that have large rocks bordering each site. Each site is bordered by the road. There is a single vaulted toilet.

    The paved area of the road ends just past the campground. Lots of people drive just past the pavement and then they turn around.

    Across the road from the campground is a beautiful river. The sound of the river put us to sleep and greeted us the next morning.

    Quiet, backcountry campground

    Baxter State Park is “forever wild” meaning primitive with no potable water, pit toilets, no wifi or cell service. Spectacularly beautiful with many mountains to climb and trails to hike, including Katahdin—the conclusion to the AT. No RVs or pets permitted. There are moose and black bears.

    Nesowadnehunk Campground is the most remote accessible campground in the Park. The Nesowadnehunk Stream is excellent for fly fishing. The trailhead for Doubletop Mountain is here as well. There are grassy fields and incredible night skies. The tent sites are of two types: grassy field or in the woods along the Stream. The lean-tos are generally 4 person AT type with a fire pit and picnic table at each site. There are 2 cabins, one ADA accessible and a bunkhouse. Reservations for all sites must be made through Baxter State Park. There is an entrance fee to the Park itself for non-Mainers.

    Friendly But Very Close

    What others have said is true. The staff were all very friendly and the pool and playground are well maintained. However, the spaces are very close together and there are no scenic views. The other drawback is the number of seemingly full time units. These units had wooden “improvements” over and around the campers indicating the RVs haven’t moved in a while and won’t move any time soon. Overall, it didn’t “feel” like a campground. It felt more like a mobile home park

    Peace and quiet like no other!

    Seboomook is a truly magical place! We go twice a year for a week each time. The silence is incredible. There is no cell service. WiFi only at the store during generator hours. This is a place to go to disconnect and be with family, friends, nature. It’s a wonderful place. The road in can be rough at times. Real rough at other times. And occasionally smooth sailing.

    The rugged, rough road is totally worth it. Bring more than you need and enjoy the peace and quiet. We boondock with a generator on the further away sites. Much quieter.

    July and August or later at the best times. No horse and moose flies!

    Daicey Pond Cabins — Baxter State Park

    Great place

    We recently spent a four-day retreat at Baxter State Park, specifically at the Daicey Pond Campsite, staying in one of their no-frills cabins. I love this place and poppy playtime chapter 3. These cabins offer a truly basic experience, devoid of modern amenities such as internet access, cellular service, plumbing, or public water supply. Visitors are required to bring their own water and rely on outhouses for restroom facilities. While the cabins do provide beds, linens are not included, necessitating guests to bring their own. Additionally, visitors must come prepared with their own water, food, and cooking equipment, such as a Coleman Stove. The park boasts a plethora of scenic trails, offering opportunities for hiking along picturesque rivers to witness cascading waterfalls, exploring serene lakes, or trekking up mountains for breathtaking views. For a nominal fee of$1 per hour, visitors can rent canoes, allowing them to traverse one lake, embark on a short half-mile hike to another lake, continue their journey with another canoe, and eventually reach a remote lake untouched by human development. This experience serves as a refreshing escape from our technology-driven and interconnected lives.

    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.

    Great quiet spot

    This is a great camping spot. The only bad thing is the mosquitos. On sunny and windy days they are much less of an issue. The three times I have camped here I’ve only seen one other group of people. The water is also great for swimming. The road is bumpy but I cleared it driving slowly and carefully with my honda HRV 2019.
