Best Campgrounds near Greenville, ME

283 Reviews

Greenville, Maine serves as a gateway to diverse camping experiences along the shores of Moosehead Lake and throughout the surrounding wilderness areas. Established campgrounds like Lily Bay State Park offer waterfront sites with picnic tables and fire rings, while primitive options such as Upper Gravel Pit provide dispersed camping with minimal amenities. The region includes developed RV resorts like Moose Creek with full hookups, alongside remote tent-only sites accessible by hiking trails at locations like Rum Pond, Little Moose Pond, and Big Moose Pond within public lands.

Road conditions vary significantly throughout the camping areas, with many sites requiring travel on gravel or logging roads that can be challenging after rain. Most primitive campsites in the Little Moose Public Lands require fire permits obtained by calling 207-695-3721 before starting campfires. A camper noted that "the road from Greenville is paved part of the way and then turns to gravel. You don't need a 4-wheel drive vehicle, but the road is bumpy in some spots." Cell service becomes limited or nonexistent beyond Greenville, with spotty coverage at some developed campgrounds. The camping season typically runs from May through October, though weather can change rapidly on Moosehead Lake with substantial wind gusts and rain storms possible even in summer.

Waterfront access represents a major draw for campers visiting the Greenville area, with numerous sites providing views of Moosehead Lake or smaller ponds. Several visitors highlighted the wildlife viewing opportunities, particularly for moose watching at dawn and dusk. According to reviews, the primitive campsites at Little Moose Public Lands provide seclusion with picnic tables and fire pits, though facilities are limited to basic vault toilets. Developed campgrounds near town offer amenities like showers and dump stations, while more remote sites provide greater privacy and direct water access. The region supports various recreational activities including hiking on nearby trails, fishing for native brook trout, paddling, and exploring logging roads. Many campgrounds provide boat launches or water access points, making them popular bases for exploring the numerous lakes and ponds in the area.

    New England Outdoor Center

    Beautiful location and friendly staff

    This is a rustic campground in a beautiful setting. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They kept everything clean. The campground is really a base of operations for NEOC’s whitewater rafting, so in the morning and afternoon, you have groups of rafters come in getting ready for or returning from their trip. You can book rafting trips with them, and the guides who worked there were awesome.

    The campground is on a small lake, and they have a bunch of kayaks and canoes kept at the side with oars and PFDs. Sign a waiver, and you can take them out, no hassle. From the lake, there is a great view of Mt. Katahdin.

    There is a pavilion with pool tables and indoor fire pit that you can go hang out at night as well as tables where you can sit out back overlooking the lake. There’s even a pub area indoors. No camp store so make sure to get what you need in town.

    Only one issue that prevented me from giving them five stars: they advertise that there are flush toilets and showers but no hot water when the generator isn’t running. It runs for a few hours in the morning and then from about 3-9 pm. The problem is that the restroom doors are locked when the generators are off, so there are no flush toilets or potable water when the generator is off. There are outhouses throughout the campground, but that wasn’t what we were expecting. They could also use a couple of speed limit signs on the main road bc cars go pretty fast in that area.

    Overall, a great campground for any hiking or rafting in the area!

    Jo-Mary Campground

    Yea, beautiful location, but overpriced & lacking

    They charged us almost $400 for two tent sites, for two nights.  They are clearly resting on their laurels, need to hire more help for peak periods, be in the office when they need to be available and answer their phones and return phone calls, and also need to check for garbage left by previous campers and have their port-a-potties emptied way more often (gross!)

    If you can get past the price gouging and lack of attention to detail, the place IS beautiful and enjoyable.

    Nesowadnehunk Field Campground — Baxter State Park

    Great weekend camping

    Had a great weekend camping here! Camp ground is clean, pretty spread out and beautiful! No cell service, bring everything you need as the nearest store is over an hour away. If you’re looking for a nice weekend getaway, or a prefect hiking spot, this is it! Will come back again.

    Seboomook Wilderness Campground

    Seboomook, a magical place

    We love Seboomook. Campsites right on the lake with glorious views! That’s hard to find these days. Don’t be put off by the 30 miles of dirt road to get there. The roads have been bad in the past but are now greatly improved. No problem bringing your camper in. Considering the wilderness location, the facilities are great. Water at the sites all the time, electricity during generator hours which are plenty to keep everything charged and you can even have your tanks pumped out. Witney and Norm are so friendly and welcoming. Last year one of us was injured and Norm put the camper into our site. This year we had a problem with our awning, Norm and his assistant spent a couple of hours fixing it and wouldn’t take any payment. Can’t wait for next year!

    Omaha Beach

    Sandy beach

    Rowell Cove Campground — Lily Bay State Park

    Gorgeous

    Great sites. Site 16 on the water you can launch your kayak from the site. Unfortunately, family in the neighboring site ran their generator from 8am-8pm. Please don't go to rustic campgrounds if you want electricity all day. Rustic sites are not for you. Go someplace with electric hookups and let the rest of us enjoy the peace and quiet.

    Alderbrook Camp Site

    Beautiful views

    This is private land that the owner rents to campers.  It is a lovely single camp site with great views and fields. It is relatively close to the road but there is very little traffic and no noise. The space is level.  There is a picnic table, fire ring, full hook ups, and box with an information sheet that includes things to do and places to eat for the surrounding area. The view was expansive and beautiful, with wonderful sunsets. The walking trails that have been cut are lovely, and a great place for a short walk, or to walk with your dog.  The owner met us immediately upon our arrival and was very friendly. The only challenge is we stayed in July, and the horse flys were viscous. They were not by the campsite, but were abundant on the trails, and I literally had to run to get back to the camper to minimize the bites. If you are susceptible to horse fly bites, be aware during the horse fly season. My husband did not get bit.

    This area is very rural.  Skowhegan, which is just over 20 minutes away, is the closest town, and has a few restaurants and a nice farmers market.  There are many hiking  and atv trails in the general area.  I would recommend this spot for a weekend in the area, or passing through for the night.

    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.
