"Our site was great because we could see the kids at the playground and the pool, but there were many great sites a bit more tucked away as well."
"We were in need of a shower and a place for the night and this campground was perfectly situated off the highway to Greenville. "
"head to the right of the main Beach area for more secluded water access and waterfront picnic and grilling areas."
"Most of the bathrooms in the park were closed down except for one, which our site (29) was next to. They have running hot water showers, a large basin sink outside to wash dishes, and flush toilets."
"The site offers at least 8 good flat spots to pitch a tent and they are scattered around to stay secluded from others."
"We stayed here when we were backpacking the east side of the Grafton Loop Trail last October. The GLT is a 38.6 mile loop that summits 7 different mountains in western Maine."
$28 - $54 / night
"Season opens around Memorial Day and when I visited midweek in late June it was still quiet. Most sites are back-in, though they offer some pull throughs, and most are wooded or in the orchard."
"Camp is just outside of Greenville so it’s super easy to go into town if you forgot anything. The only thing I wasn’t a fan of was I could hear the road noise from rt.6."
$44 - $99 / night
"Soul Retrieve Hill is new to the Dyrt and has an awesome location near Senebec Lake & features a communal area so you can meet other campers! "
"Continue down the road to five of the six sites (#6 is located a short drive away across the stream accessible from (Bodfish road). The sites are clearly marked and have a picnic table and fire pit."
$20 - $30 / night
"Absolutely one of the jewels in the Maine State Park System, Lily Bay on enormous Moosehead Lake is generally open year round."
"This gorgeous state park along the shores of Moosehead Lake near Greenville feels like the campgrounds of my youth. Sites are all tucked into the woods with easy access to trails and the lakeshore."
$55 - $60 / night
"The campground opened in May 2022 and is just what the Greenville area of Maine needed– a nice, large campground which is big-rig-friendly, nice amenities, and close to downtown."
"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. "
TravelerThis 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!
ScoutThey 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.
TravelerBAD road - high clearance 4WD needed. Worth the drive!! Didn’t see another person besides maintenance. 10 sites - 5 here, 2 at little Omaha and 3 beyond boat landing. Outhouse on site.
ScoutPretty small site but nice layout. Wifi was terrible. Had to listen to an argument from a neighbor. Someone was parked in the spot and had to move so i could back in
ScoutGreat 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.
GuideThis 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.
LegendGeneral: 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.
LegendEverything was fine , except the owner, very weird !
LegendIt'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.
