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.

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 There was also a VERY outdated/pieced together shower house near the office--something is better than nothing, I suppose.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.

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!

Very friendly and helpful
GuideIt'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!!
LegendYou need to be adventurous for the drive in there is a 33 mile dirt road to get to Seboomook Wilderness campground. You need to take it slow and be patient. Once we arrived we set up and the site was a little to small for us. We couldn't open the outdoor kitchen door the lean to was in the way. The owners Whitney & Norman helped move us the next morning to a bigger site. They were so nice and wanted us to be happy.
We had water & electric yet you only have electric when the generators run that power the campground. It worked out fine for us.
Our new site L49 was big and had a lean to. Waterfront site with our firepit overlooking the lake. We sat in our chairs in the water everyday and relaxed. We floated on rafts the lake was crystal clear and a perfect temp. We attached a beach umbrella to the chairs in the water for shade it was so nice. I made Conch salad and Margaritas what more do you need.
There is a small store at the office yet there isn't anything else around here so bring everything you need. The sites are not level we needed more than usual for leveling. There isn't any shade so come prepared.
We needed propane and they no longer sell propane yet Norman needed some so he drove us to a place about 11 miles up on the Golden road. Great people/owners.
We had Loons with babies that swam by and we love listening to them. The bullfrogs chimed in too. Our neighbors were catching pollywogs, big ones with legs.
There is a boat ramp and a small dock onsite and a playground. There are cabins too which all were rented.
I will say we did have a kid that screamed all day. He yelled at his parents & threw fits. It was like nails on a chalkboard. The people next to us were saying my mom wouldn't have ever put up with that. I told them that's what duct tape is for.
When we left the campground a week after we got there the road had been grated so it was better than when we arrived. Still a long slow ride out yet better.

On the grounds of a roadside motel just 6 miles from Sugarloaf and east access to the AT, this newly added 13+ campsites are easy in and out, well appointed and have wonderful facilities. Toilets, hot showers, gazebo with fire pit, lounge with WiFi, full kitchen, TV, games and more. Great place to meet other campers and hikers and share a meal.
LegendThere are a few times in your travels when you find someplace you never want to leave. It’s the kind of place where you pull in and it just feels right and we found ourselves at the registration desk extending your stay…and again…and again. The Birches Resort and Campground in Rockwood, Maine was that slice of paradise we absolutely loved.
The Birches is perched on Moosehead Lake about 30 minutes north of Greenville which is a pretty small town (we’re talking population 1,600) with a few restaurants, a fly fishing shop, a great grocery/outdoor/camping/clothing store and a scattering of interesting attractions like an old passenger ship offering lake excursions. There is a ferry over to Mt. Kineo which has spectacular hiking and definitely worth spending an afternoon. There is great fishing in the area in numerous rivers and lakes.
The Birches has a magnificent historic lodge dating back to the 1930’s that is warm and comforting and smells of wood burning fires, fresh coffee, and salty bacon. There are only a handful of campsites (for RV’s and tents) and a bunch of cabins all with great views. Don’t be expecting to have all your creature comforts of television, wifi, and phone service because they are nonexistent or sketchy at your site. However, the lodge provides all those services where you can enjoy them by the fire or at the bar. There is also a full-service restaurant serving three meals a day with delicious comfort food like Thanksgiving turkey dinner, slow roasted prime rib, and French onion soup. RV sites can be a little tight for larger RVs but we were able to manage. The best campsite (#5) backs up to the lake so your patio and fire pit are right there on the water and provide spectacular sunrises. Our site was 30-amp which was fine for us as we were there in October and didn’t need air conditioning. Since no one else was coming into the site next to us, we were allowed to pull in such that we took up two spots and overlooked the marina. There was water but no sewer however the dump station was easy to access and never very busy since the campground is so small. The tent sites are located farther away from the lodge and facilities but are spacious and private with great water views. The sites are surrounded by trees so you get some shade if you want or can be in the open sunny areas. Each tent site has its own garbage can so you don’t have to trek over to the dumpster. There are also picnic tables, rock-lined fire rings, low electric hook-up, and a water spigot. The restroom/showers were older but clean and we did not mind showering there which meant we didn’t have to pack up the RV and dump our tanks during our stay. They do have a hot tub for those who like to soak in steaming water.
We absolutely loved our stay at the Birches. Having the lodge for warm fires, cold beer, and hot meals was a definite plus. There are so many outdoor activities between hiking, fishing, paddling, and just enjoying the natural beauty. There are boat rentals and seaplane flights you can book for sightseeing and a launch for boats/paddle craft. We will definitely be back.

The majority of campsites are right on the Dead River in a beautiful region in Maine called The Forks. This area is an outdoor paradise with tons of things to do kayaking, white water rafting, hunting, fishing, hiking, and nature viewing. Riverdrivers has a myriad of overnight accommodations including primitive tenting, RV with electric and water (some just 20A and water and the others 20A/30A and water), cabins with electricity and screened in porch, motel rooms, and a rental home open year-round that sleeps 14.
There is a dump station onsite for RVs. There are picnic tables and fire pits at the camping sites and cabins. Wood is available for purchase at the good price of$10 for a wheelbarrow load. Sites are mostly grass and the road is smooth gravel devoid of any potholes. There are some trees for shade but not many and there is not much privacy between campsites. Obviously, the best sites are right on the water but the majority of those are without hookups. Check out their Facebook page because they offer camping discounts in the past if you mention the add. There are restrooms and showers with 14-hour access and a few port-a-potties scattered about. There is also a dishwashing station. Bathroom facilities were very clean as was the dishwashing station. Horseshoe pits are present but that is pretty much it for amenities, other than the great water view. No online reservation you must call or email them.
The biggest complaint is the loud road noise from big logging trucks. The campground is located directly off Route 201 in West Forks which makes for easy access into the park (but you get the road noise). Across the street is Berry’s General Store with just about everything you need and is a fun old store to roam around. Just up the road is Hawks Nest Lodge which has a great restaurant with full bar. Their outside seating is great for soaking up the sun and watching the rafters on the river. Head over to Moxie Falls for a short hike into one of Maine’s famous falls.
ScoutEnjoy excellent fly fishing in the big river, or bring the boat out on the lake with easy boat launch access. Beauty sights to be seen, a wonderful experience overall!
ScoutSkip this place... Greed and poor customer service all you will get here. Charged $25 in less than 24hrs to cancel a reservation made 4 months in advance. Contacted several times for help and got nothing. Lots of other great places in the area, just not this one
ScoutOwners, Judy & Buster have created a camping gem in rural Maine. Grounds are equipped with spacious woodsy sites, two very clean bath houses, a rec room , walking trail, nice sized inground pool, playground for smaller kids, a store with Cafe and a teeny- tiny laundry room.
Buster serves up Bean-Hole Beans every Saturday evening. It's a Mainer thing.
If I had a complaint it would be about the much dated laundry facility only having 2 semi working 1970's washers and only one 1970's dryer. This was a minor problem since the owners are so accommodating and everything else was enjoyable.
My husband, daughter, myself and our labradoodle truly had a remarkable time during our two and half month stay from July til the end of September.
If hiking is your thing there are many enjoyable hikes nearby
We were able to see moose regularly during evening hours just a few miles from camp. When leaving camp make a left, drive aprox 15 mins and you are sure to see them.
Super awesome experience!!!
Traveler
Beautiful during our Fall Road Trip. Will definitely be going back next year!
Perfect lil spot nestled off the beaten path. Super clean bathhouse and laundry facility.
Great for all ages. Kiddos riding bikes and going on hayrides. Adults having fun at night but still respected quiet hours.
GuideWe stayed here for two weeks the end of September and beginning of October. This was a great place for home base for a couple weeks while we enjoyed Maine and what it offers!! The owners have done a wonderful job in making this a great place to stop in the 14 years they have owned this. The sites are super spacious and nicely placed in a wooded area. Pool was closed but looked great and nice playground for kids. Located close enough to Moosehead lake to be able to take advantage of it. They have a great camp store, game room, and snack shop in which they serve great food at on the weekends and also do a number of activities for families and kids. Recently put up a new bathroom and laundry facility and have good wifi. Conveniently located for ATV'ers. Don't miss staying here!!
TravelerThis is our second time at this campground in as many years (same date range too). This year we took my dad.
If you want to be with a bunch of RVers, you can do that. Lots of sites in a row (right on the waterfront), plenty of space between, but little to no trees in that area. Kids love it and everyone stay in that area was having a great time.. There are, however, some sections of waterfront (and one to waterfront) that are much less active and are, in my opinion, the best sites in the place. We had our kayaks and my dad's boat beached right at our site. Need to dock your boat? They have you covered there too........
Can't ask for a more beautiful area (really, they don't make em nicer). Plenty to do up there too.
Owners are awesome, area is awesome, place is awesome....beware of that road though. Go to you think you should be there already, then go some more. LOL
GuideTruly nice folks who built this campground 39 years ago, still run it. Well maintained and full of nice folks. Mostly rv camping with some tent sites. A lot of seasonal rv occupants. Great for families with children but nice for all folks. Two bath areas and a laundry room. Free baths and inexpensive laundry prices. There must be many atv trails nearby as plenty of campers had theirs up and running. About 12 miles south of a point on the AT so plenty of hiking nearby as well. Lots of planned activities and live entertainment on Saturday night. A warm community environment.
GuideWe are a full-time traveling family (2 kids - 8 & 13) and 2 English Bulldogs. We have a Class A motorhome and flat tow a Jeep. We stayed here in June for 11 nights in site B6 and loved it! Owners Matt & Jamie are wonderful and we left feeling like we had stayed at a friend's place. 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. The kids also loved the Saturday night movie they would play on the big screen as well as the movie rental options available for personal use while there. We did not use the ATV trails that are directly off the campground, but they were great! We did, however, rent an ATV from Northwoods Outfitters in Greenville (just 20 minutes away) and it was our favorite activity yet!
The campground is within 20 minutes drive or so to Hannaford grocery and there is a great little market, Whitney's Market, even closer in Guilford. Greenville is also about 20 minutes away and is a wonderful little town to visit with great restaurants and boating/ATVing options.
Highly recommend visiting Central Maine and definitely stay at Balsam Woods!
TravelerHow to describe what a slice of heaven looks like? The setting is just spectacular, beautiful beyond words! The owners, Whitney and Norman, are just is amazing. They aren't just the owners, but everything they do shows how much they love this very special place and are so aware that they are great stewards of nature's splendor present here.
We went for a 10 day trip in July and a 5 day trip in August, staying on a waterfront / lean to site. Like most of the other waterfront sites, we had a nice, sandy beach on our site. The water is very shallow and the depth increases very slowly. We could walk about 100 feet before the water was chest high. This would be perfect for kids!
The site was massive, huge and my tiny pop up (1990 Coleman Columbia) almost looked funny on the site, like it was lost in all that space! The lean too was bigger!! All of the sites are grassy and flat. The waterfront sites are mostly sunny, but remember that this campground is deep in the north Maine woods and high temperatures are moderate - high 70's, low 80's.
Seriously, I am struggling to find words descriptive enough to capture the beauty of this campground and specifically our camp site!! It is beyond spectacularly beautiful -- the water is crystal clear, the mountains in the distance, the loons, eagles, deer, moose AND THE STARS!!! Wow!! I get goosebumps now just remembering how incredible the night sky looked -- no words come close to describe the majesty of that!!!
Only an hour of internet a day, several hours of electricity and it is wonderful! It was so relaxing to be able to disconnect and we even skipped the one hour of internet a few days. For a more details, check out my review on popupportal.com.

If you want to ride ATV trails, fish and swim in the Kennebec River, ride mountain bikes on the Kennebec rail trail this is a great place to stay. The down side is the truck traffic on the nearby roads. The campground is near an intersection so logging trucks slow and accelerate nearby starting early in the morning.
Guide
We have stayed here twice. The first time we rented a cabin. The second time we stayed in our RV.
Each time we visit we truly enjoy the vast ATV trail system. This campground is surrounded by spectacular mountains, rolling fields, towering trees, fragrant wild flowers and beautiful butterflies.
We will definitely stay again!
GuideWe really enjoyed this campground. It is a fantastic place to stay and ATV.
We will stay here again!

Main lodge is new and gorgeous! Call ahead to reserve meals: breakfast and dinner available at additional cost (when available - call to reserve and inquire about current COVID 19 restrictions)

When we found these sites, my buddy immediately called them Narnia. I can't disagree!

I stopped here for a night on my way into Maine’s North Woods, and it was quite nice. Definitely a more developed site - well suited to families or people who want more facilities, but it’s in a beautiful location with very friendly & helpful staff.
ScoutWe only stayed here one night but many around us were here for a week and much, much longer. It’s got a nice pool, clean showers, and access to trails around. If you’re looking for something secluded this is not it, but it’s a nice place.
GuideNice large, level site with water and electric hookups. Large, clean shared bathrooms with good water pressure.
Loads of amenities - general store with basic supplies, tons of activities for kids, pool, atv trail access and walking trails.
Was here in the fall. Campground was quiet and there were no crowds for the bathroom. Very enjoyable.
GuideI rented a cabin at this campground. The cabin was a little dated, but clean and a relaxing environment. They had a small store and the access to Moosehead Lake was excellent. If you like remote camping this a great place to go and explore the area around the campground. The other lakes and streams in the area are amazing and great for canoeing and kayaking as well as fishing. Limited internet, but this is a get away from it all campground.
LegendWhile we don’t usually stay in private campgrounds due to their high cost, the price was reasonable for the quality of this campground and amenities provided. We were in need of a shower and a place for the night and this campground was perfectly situated off the highway to Greenville.
Most of the sites are designed for larger RVs with full hook-ups, but they have just a handful of simple tent/small camper sites without services, which is exactly what we needed. Just a picnic table and fire ring and some privacy and we were happy campers.
The shower house was newly remodeled and very clean, as was the laundry facility with dishwashing/utility sink. The campground has access to over 1000 miles of trails, which are designed for ATV’s. They even have an ATV washing station. While it was not open in late September, the campground offers a nice pool, game room for the kids of all ages, a small camp store, and even has a snack bar and ice cream counter. And, if you are seeking some amazing hiking, it's relatively close to Borestone Mountain and sections of the Appalachian Trail.
The young husband and wife team who own/run the place are very sweet folks who seem to really pay attention to the needs of their customers. For instance, they recently spent a good deal of money on high speed wifi because that is what their customers said they wanted. We didn't need it, so can't comment on its quality, but it's there if you do.
