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.

I ask that you bring your own firewood! Otherwise, you are free to leave a small donation if you use any of the wood I have on property! I may or may not be on the property during your stay. Featured in MotherEarthNews Magazine! HERE
WINTER CAMPING: 4 WHEEL DRIVE REQUIRED!! I have bedding but I suggest you bring sleeping bags rated for sub-zero temps as the cabin is NOT insulated. You are welcome to bring a small buddy-heater with you, or, one can be available to rent. The clear panels do act as a greenhouse and the cabin can retain warmth during daylight hours.

SPRING CAMPING: We like to call this mud season. Along with that comes the emerging of blood-sucking vermin (aka mosquitos and black flies). This is Maine. Please bring repellent. There is a bug net in the cabin to put over the futon.
SUMMER CAMPING: Please see Spring Camping and then remember that there may be a total of 10 days that the temperatures may be unbearable (but the garden loves it).
I cannot control the weather. I just provide a super awesome place. I am always available to help make your stay top-notch! Without you, there is no me..

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.
TravelerThe 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/

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.

Everything was fine , except the owner, very weird !
ScoutNice big camp ground, clean bathroom and shower. Close to interstate 95.

I wouldn't call this a campground--more like a spot for 3 vehicles to park overnight. Quite a few logging trucks zooming by and kicking up dust during our stay. One pit toilet. Conveniently close to the start of Loop Road.
Ranger
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.
Scout
One thing to note is that while you can play and enjoy the game for free, there are options for in-app purchases. It’s not necessary to spend money to have a good time, but if you want to progress faster or unlock certain features, the temptation to buy coins might come up. https://cashfrenzy777apk.net/

Stayed for two nights after Labor Day. Only one other camper in the park and we never saw them but occasionally we could hear a voice. Other than that, it was quiet.
There are about 9 campsites, each with a picnic table, a fire ring and a large camping and parking area for each site.
The best feature of this campground is the view. There is a Lake on both east and west sides of the camping area. Three sites are view of both lakes from the camp sites. I woke up to a view of one lake and my wife saw the other lake from our camper.
The campground has three pit toilets. The large size of the camp sites makes it feel more secluded than it is
We did hear something like a lumber mill operating one morning. Not sure what that was all about.
A Ranger stopped by and visited with us. He then offered us a brochure on the camping area we are planning to visit next. Nice customer service right at our camp site!
Traveler
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.
TravelerWhat 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

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.

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.

Pros: Full hookup (sewer, water, 50 AMP) Lots of Amenities
Cons: Gravel site Not much shade

We were there for 3 nights, everything was very clean and the staff were very helpful and pleasant. I'd definitely try to go for the premium sites as they are more wooded.

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.

We spent a few weeks here in the fall while passing through Maine. There is a private forested area on the property that is perfect for hiking and foraging. The best part is the farm stand where you can buy delicious fresh baked goods. Power/water/sewer worked great. We had full cell reception with T-mobile and Verizon. Farm dogs were very friendly and got along with our puppies.We will be coming back the next time we are in the area!

This is an out of the way campground in Baxter. Our site required a walk in. Plenty of firewood for purchase at ranger station. Within striking distance of hunt trail and the higly talked about slides/falls.

Spent a night at Piscataquis Point and had a great time! This was a very quiet and peaceful place but easily accessible from multiple directions and only like 20 mins from I-95. This spacious area has all the amenities covered allowing you to unplug and unwind like you’re in the middle of nowhere, the handcrafted touches from the outhouse to the fire pit add a unique, welcoming and comfortable feel. Sitting next to a warm, crackling fire listening to the sound of the river was truly the cherry on top and made for a very relaxing evening. This spot is somewhat of a hidden gem, clean and well up kept, this is the type of place that you’ll want to revisit again and again.

We have loved Katahdin Iron Works for a long time, it really is how camping should be. No hookups/power/water. Bring everything in and bring everything back out with you. There are outhouses near the pleasant river sites. Last time we were up there the rule was no units over 44' total with truck and camper. These sites really are best for tents or very small campers.
Scout
This area was truly beautiful. Quiet and safe.
Guide
This is a favorite spot of ours to stay.
The waterfront sites are absolutely beautiful. If you have a group of friends going its nice to be close. It can get loud in the summer months, you can tube the river and end at the campground. Sites have no hookups, so be prepared for that. Definitely get out on the water to enjoy the view of Mt. Katahdin.
**If for some dumb reason your GPS says to take the Old State Road instead of the Golden Road and you're towing a camper...DONT.
Guide
We stay at Wilderness Edge every time we visit Millinocket. The campground has all of your basics and is a great gateway spot for Baxter State Park or ATV trails.
The sites are better suited for smaller RV setups but it is not impossible to get a bigger camper in. We have a 30 foot toy hauler and have fit in our spots ok. We don't recommend coming in after dark- it can be difficult to navigate. Another thing to note is how long your hoses and electric cords are, you may need to stretch them under/behind your camper depending on site location.
The staff here are fantastic and have helped us on multiple occasions. Our last trip we had to extend a night because our truck broke down and needed more time, it was no problem. We have also had to buy a new 30 AMP power cord after store hours because ours was making us nervous.
