Tent Camping near Levant, ME

    Add dates

    Tent campsites in Levant, Maine and its surrounding areas offer a mix of established grounds and secluded walk-in tent sites within Maine's varied landscape. The Hawnets Nest and Soul Retrieve-Hill provide tent camping with basic amenities, while Partridge Pond Primitive Campsite in the Lower Penobscot Forest offers more remote tent camping experiences approximately 20 miles east of Levant. These tent-specific locations vary in size, with most having between 2-5 designated sites.

    Most walk-in tent sites feature fire rings and picnic tables, though availability differs across locations. The primitive tent campgrounds typically provide vault toilets rather than flush facilities, and potable water is limited to certain established grounds like Amy's Farmstays and The Hawnets Nest. Tent campers should verify fire regulations before visiting, as seasonal restrictions apply throughout Maine forests. Trash removal follows strict carry-in, carry-out principles at primitive sites, while established campgrounds provide trash collection. Registration procedures vary, with some primitive tent sites operating on first-come, first-served basis, particularly those in public forest lands.

    Walk-in tent access distinguishes many camping experiences in the region, offering greater seclusion than drive-up alternatives. The Donnell Pond area provides tent-only sites accessible by short hiking trails or boat access, with several reviews noting the privacy benefits despite moderate site proximity. At sites near water bodies, tent campers can enjoy swimming and fishing opportunities. One camper mentioned that "the hiking is moderate with multiple trails and great views" at Donnell Pond. Seasonal considerations impact the tent camping experience significantly, with summer bringing heavier use and spring potentially limiting access due to mud conditions. Forest tent sites tend to have adequate shade, while some open-field locations like those at Continuous Harmony Farm offer more exposure to sun and weather.

      Lake St. George State Park Campground

      Prett lake setting

      This campground is located on the northwest shore of Lake St. George which is a beautiful spring fed lake. The closest big town is Belfast which is just 16 miles west and Augusta is about 25 miles away. The park offers lots to do like boating, picnicking, volleyball, fishing, hiking, and swimming (which is in a designated area with lifeguards in the summer months). The park has rental canoes, paddle boats and kayaks for those that don’t have their own. We visited in the summer and the campground was pretty full but you didn’t feel like you were smothered. There are only 39 campsites, most of which are reservable online. The campground is also open in the winter and offers lots of winter outdoor activities. Campsites are a mix of gravel, grass, shady, and completely open sites. Be careful which site you book because some campsites are wide open with no shade so you may not want to book those in the summer. There is are newer restrooms with showers towards the front of the campground. The restrooms and showers are together in one room so you have lots of privacy. The shower had plenty of hot water. A dump station and potable water fill are located near the entrance. Sites along the water were nice and large enough for big-rigs but many were unlevel. We thought sites 21-23 and 30 were some of the nicest. Campsites in the middle section seemed more level than the ones along the lake or nearest the road in the woods. The sites in the middle also tend to be larger and you could use as a pull-thru. Our Verizon phone and hotspot worked well and we were able to pick up a few over-the-air antenna. One of the downsides is the noise from Route 3 which is a busy road. The other is that there are no hook-ups in the campground. Each site does have a firepit and picnic table. Nearby is the Lake St. George Brewing Company which has great beer and a dog-friendly patio. Check out the little town of Liberty nearby which has a restaurant, an interesting tool store and Liberty Graphics which has tons of cheap t-shirts with cool designs.

      Timberland Acres RV Park

      Clean facilities. Laundry available for $2.50 for wash and $2.50 for dry. All hook ups worked for me. I stayed at spot 085, very close to bathrooms which was helpful. Friendly and helpful staff.

      Holden Family Campground

      Quiet and Pleasant

      Spent a few days here in early October. Pleasant host, easy check-in, and quiet campground with full hookups. Minutes from the highway and an hour or so from Acadia.

      Timberland Acres RV Park

      Acadia Visit

      This is a BIG campground with lots of amenities. Laundry, dog park, bath house, etc…. The size of the place makes using some of the amenities prohibitively—you could walk well over a quarter mile to get to the bath house. Generally a very clean location with easy access to the road to Acadia NP.

      Mount Desert Campground

      Amazing site

      This has been our favorite site yet! We at C54 which is apparently the best site. We have a roof top tent and the site had power and water. It is a “corner lot”! It has so much room and is right near the bathroom and showers. You are in the woods and there is a beautiful lake with kayak rentals right on site. The staff was so kind and helpful. We felt they were truly happy we were there.

      Lamoine State Park Campground

      Great Find!

      Nice state campground. Older style restrooms and showers but clean. We got a beautiful site looking out at the bay. We will likely extend our already booked 2 night stay.

      Mt Desert Narrows Camping Resort

      Convenient to Acadia NP

      Clean, water and electric only at the waterfront, but nice view. I didn't use the facilities so I can't comment on those. $55 a night with military discount and off season.

      HTR Acadia

      Great getaway

      This is our first campground... I'd say the bathrooms are clean and the campground itself is pretty spacious when it comes to parking which isn't what I saw with alor of others. We extended our stay because its been the staff and environment has been really nice. We have site 35 which has been secluded and nice. We are going to 11 which has a partial waterfront view but not super close to water.

    Guide to Levant

    Tent camping options near Levant, Maine range from primitive sites to private farmstays across Maine's mixed forests and blueberry barrens. The region sits in the central Maine highlands with elevations between 200-400 feet, creating varied terrain for camping. Summer temperatures typically reach 75-80°F during day with nighttime lows around 55-60°F, while spring and fall camping requires preparation for overnight temperatures that can drop below 40°F.

    What to do

    Swimming opportunities: The beach area at Donnell Pond provides excellent swimming access with mountain views. Camper Amanda F. notes, "We were able to swim here as well. We went fishing and did catch a couple of fish! These are public/free and first come first serve sites."

    Blueberry picking: During late July and early August, Continuous Harmony Farm offers unique seasonal opportunities. According to Ashley F., you can "pick your own blueberries alongside their raking crew in their organic wild blueberry barrens," though this experience is available only during blueberry season and requires a fee.

    Moderate hiking trails: Trails near Levant offer good day hiking options for campers. Erik C. from Donnell Pond shares, "The hike the next morning was a good climb for only about a 3+ mile hike," making it accessible for most skill levels while still providing rewarding views.

    What campers like

    Pond-side camping: The Rough and Raw campground has primitive sites with water access. Daniel J. states, "Super cool folks running the place," while another camper called it "a true hidden gem" with safe and lovely primitive camping areas.

    Privacy between sites: Maine Wild Blueberry Bliss offers spacious sites with good separation. Heather C. reports, "There are 4 total campsites, and each offers a slightly different view and sense of privacy... The area was very quiet - at night we only heard the crickets and the wind."

    Beach camping options: Waterfront sites are particularly valued in this region. According to Erik C., Donnell Pond offers spots where you can have "dinner on the beach as the sun set behind the lake," creating memorable camping experiences with minimal facility requirements.

    Level terrain: Many sites offer practical, flat camping areas. Korie M. found at Maine Wild Blueberry Bliss that "the views were incredible, we swam in the water everyday, and picked/ate the blueberries!"

    What you should know

    Campsite identification challenges: At some locations, finding your specific site can be difficult. Adam B. at Continuous Harmony Farm noted, "The sites are not marked at all and there did not seem to be a way to check in. It was first come first serve for us."

    Access limitations: Many of the best tent camping near Levant, Maine requires some hiking. Erik C. shares about Donnell Pond: "The hike in is only about 1/2 mile so it's totally doable even if you need to make two trips."

    Weekend crowding: Popular public sites fill quickly during peak season. Casey explains, "if your lucky you won't have the experience I did with a group of ten partying all night next to me and using chainsaws in a location that was not permitted."

    Water sources: Many primitive sites lack potable water. Campers at Rough and Raw should bring sufficient drinking water or purification methods as natural water sources may require treatment before consumption.
