    Nice, quiet stay in an RV site along the woods. Washed off in the showers then enjoyed tasty food and beverages at the restaurant/bar on site. Despite what the website says, there was no laundry here--an employee said it's been a few years since they had that available, unfortunately.

    It'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.

    Nesowadnehunk Lake Wilderness Campground

    Quiet, backcountry campground

    Baxter State Park is “forever wild” meaning primitive with no potable water, pit toilets, no wifi or cell service. Spectacularly beautiful with many mountains to climb and trails to hike, including Katahdin—the conclusion to the AT. No RVs or pets permitted. There are moose and black bears.

    Nesowadnehunk Campground is the most remote accessible campground in the Park. The Nesowadnehunk Stream is excellent for fly fishing. The trailhead for Doubletop Mountain is here as well. There are grassy fields and incredible night skies. The tent sites are of two types: grassy field or in the woods along the Stream. The lean-tos are generally 4 person AT type with a fire pit and picnic table at each site. There are 2 cabins, one ADA accessible and a bunkhouse. Reservations for all sites must be made through Baxter State Park. There is an entrance fee to the Park itself for non-Mainers.

    Absolutely Wonderful

    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.

    Piscataquis Point

    A hidden gem in central Maine

    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.

    River Front

    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.

    Wilderness Edge Campground

    Millinocket Gem

    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.

    DO NOT COME HERE

    first off, horrible gut feeling as soon as we entered. all of the trails that led to campsites were completely overtaken by nature and look like they haven’t been visited in years. Again DO NOT COME HERE. Also the bridge to the place is falling apart and very scetchy

    Nice small campground near Baxter State park

    We were in site # AB. It backed up to the road yet was nice other than the traffic. The traffic slowed down at night. The owner Laurie is nice and her staff was great. Roger was a big help with us getting into the site & settled. The site we were in you need 2 water hoses so he brought us a second one. It was a little tight backing in yet the site was big. 

    We had water & electric and the dump station is in town on the way out. It's at the visitor center and there is a small fee for using it. There is a bar & restaurant onsite. They aren't open all week yet more towards the weekend. The food is good and the bar (the loose Moose) had lots of people in it. Love the fried beets and wings.  They have entertainment on the weekends. The girls working in the bar were busy working hard to keep everyone happy.

    There is a big pull through site near our site you get the entire road and several sites. 

    There is a small boat launch onsite and a captain that does moose boat tours. The cabins looked nice too there are several on the water. The lodge is very nice too.

    Next door is the Northern Woods trading post. Great lobster l, oysters, charcuterie platter and a good Margarita. The little store has some nice souvenirs and meats, cheeses, pizzas, sandwiches and drinks. 

    Onsite is Northern outfitters they take people white water rafting. You can do it right from the campground. People do come from all over to raft there. Across the street on the other side of the dyke there is a small swim beach and a sea plane ride operation. 

    As you leave the campground and you go right Baxter state park is on the same road and not far from the campground. There is a swim beach at Baxter and hiking trails. Mt Katahdin is close by. The park is mostly dirt road yet not bad. It was $16.00 to enter the park for a day. If your going to go into the park 3 times or more buy the pass it's cheaper. 

    Across the street from the campground we took the Golden road north to compass pond for a bit. People were picking wild blueberries. We were looking for moose around the bogs. 

    To the left leaving the campground there is a place called River divers which had specials on their meals. People were not too excited about the food but they had an excellent spicy margarita. 

    There's not much in town but we needed a hardware store and found one and grocery stores.

    Quiet area

    While the roads might be a bit rough in places, the hiking experience is top-notch. The variety of trails caters to all skill levels, and the ice caves add a unique touch. The lookout point's view is absolutely worth the trek.

    The seclusion of the area guarantees a solitary hike, and the free camp field is a bonus. While there are no hookups, the outhouse and nearby swimming spots make up for it. Perfect for a rugged getaway.

    Wilderness Edge Campground

    Wonderful Place!

    I would give this place a million stars if I could. It is a beautiful campground with many excellent rustic spots if you want to be in the wilderness and sites with electricity and water and fantastic Wi-Fi and cell service if you want to have a little wilderness but still be connected. The facilities are also very clean with wonderful showers that you don’t have to deposit quarters in. But the best thing about this campground is the wonderful people. I’m traveling with my husband, who is through hiking the Appalachian Trail. We were on week 12 of our journey. My husband was on the trail for three days when our camper van broke down and was in a remote place, not knowing anyone, and was telling the ladies my situation when I checked in. Vicky made a call and got me an appointment with a mechanic who was terrific and fixed my car. I was able to pick up my husband at the hundred-mile wilderness as planned. I did not think checking in with them that day that was even going to be a possibility, so they are absolutely amazing, kind, and generous people. It’s great in these times to see that there is still genuine kindness in the world. Please stay here.

    Northeast Whitewater Lodge

    Yurts and Tent Camping

    Northeast Whitewater is a mix of guide service, moose viewing tours, whitewater rafting, and camping. The camping options are yurts and primitive tent camping. There are no RV/Van camping facilities. All camping is walk-in as you can’t drive to your site but most campsites and yurts are not too far away. There are six yurts all with varying configurations, sleeping anywhere from 1-2 people (with king sized bed) up to up to six people (with bunk beds). All yurts have electricity and come equipped with heaters and fans; in addition, pillows, bedding and linens are supplied. Depending on the particular yurt you choose, some have small refrigerators, table and chairs, and nightstands. 

    Tent sites are primitive with fire pits and picnic tables. The ground is level and cleared so there is no problem finding a place to put your tent. The sites are fairly close together so you will definitely hear and see your neighbor. There is no water or port-a-potties at camping sites. One bathhouse is located adjacent to the main building and there is a dish washing station located there as well. The bathhouse was clean when we visited (but we were not there during the busy summer season as there are many rafting trips and those customers share the same bathroom). The bathhouse is pretty far away from the camping area which is inconvenient when you have to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. All yurts and campsite have trash cans located at the site. Each site has a large fire pit and removable cooking grates are available. There are rustic log benches around the fire pits. 

    Yurts and campsites are located behind the main building/office but you still get some road noise as Route 6 is a heavily traveled road. As far as amenities, there is a volleyball net and corn holes. A covered pavilion is located between the campsites and the main building and has a few picnic tables underneath. The main building has a gift shop stocked with moose gifts, apparel, snacks, drinks, and an assortment of “camp stuff.” This is also where you can book a moose tour, rafting trip, or inflatable kayaks if you are feeling adventurous. 

    The campground is located between the towns of Monson and Greenville. The Monson General Store is a great little store with an assortment of grocery items and makes really good sandwiches and the nearby Lakeshore House Lodge and Pub has the most wonderful pot roast. Greenville has a larger grocery/trading post which has pretty much everything you need from shoes to lettuce. Hiking in the area is great! You can pick up the Appalachian Trail or head to Little Wilson Falls for a nice, wooded walk along a stream to a pretty waterfall. Borestone Mountain is nearby and provides amazing views.

    Awesome little campground out in the wilderness

    We stayed here for my birthday one year, the campsites were very secluded and right next to plenty of hiking trails. we were able to take a canoe out and explore the lake on a gorgeous summer day. I will definitely be camping here whenever we explore baxter!

    Beautiful Area

    I have been going there for a long time. I go 3 times a year for 5 weeks. It is a rustic campground with beautiful views of the mountains in Baxter State Park. They have a store and water and showers. The lake is fly fishing only and it only has native maine brook trout and it doesn't get stocked. They also have a boat launch.

    Moosehead Family Campground

    Tight for big rigs, great location

    Small campground with 36 RV and tent sites located just a couple of miles from downtown Greenville. The owners are very nice and helpful and are always busy working in the campground. The campground has lots of large trees and narrow roads which make it very difficult for big rigs. In fact, there was only one of two sites in the front section that would fit our 45’ motorhome. The back section of the park was way too tight for us to navigate. 

    Our site (#25) was a long pull thru that sloped down in the front and took a bit for us to get level and our front steps were pretty high off the ground. We had 50-amp electric which worked fine and a water hookup. Since we had a clear view to the sky, we were able to use our satellite television. Due to the campground’s location in a remote part of Maine, I’m sure our over-the-air antenna would not have worked. They did have wifi which worked great at out site. The tent sites are located off to themselves in a wooded area not too far from the bathrooms. The back section of the campground is heavily treed with nice amounts of shade. Most of the sites have good separation from the neighboring site and privacy. The fire pits have grates next to them so you can cook over the fire. There are garbage cans scattered about the campground which makes it easy to dump your trash. No sewer at any sites but there is a dump station and they offer a pump out service for$20. We contemplated using the dump station but the roads were so tight that it would have been difficult for us to pull into it and our RV would have scrapped lots of trees. There are apple trees everywhere in the campground. The owner said he does rake them but so apparently it was a banner year, so there were tons of apples which meant that you did get a smell from the rotting ones. The bathrooms were old and pretty nasty and we didn’t want to use the toilet, much less shower there. Despite having a pull thru site, we had to back out because we would have had to go thru the back part of the park and because of the low hanging trees without scraping our RV. Also, the turn into the campground from the main road (Route 6) is very tight and we ended up having to go into the other lane and take up the whole road in order to make the turn in. 

    We did like the proximity of this campground to downtown Greenville. The area is beautiful with great hiking, boating, and fishing. Just a short drive away is the east outlet of the Kennebec River which is renowned for its fly fishing. Some touristy things to do are a boat ride on the Katahdin (an old steam ship), ferry ride over to Mt. Kineo for hiking with a great view, and a drive out to the B-52 crash site.

    Shin Pond Village Campground

    Good experience after our RV had to be pulled out of the mud.

    Shin Pond is this sprawling mix of campground, cabins, restaurant, event space, gas station, convenient store, and off-road vehicle rentals. The campground has about 30 campsites and is separated into two sections bisected by Route 159 (which is busy with loud logging trucks and UTV’s). One side has 50-amp campsites and cabins and the other side is 30-amp. There is a separate area for tents that is really pretty and sits along a brook that divides north and south Shin Ponds. 

    Sites are grass with very little gravel and, as we found out, they can be very soft. We pulled into our site (#21) and before we knew it our 45’ (47,000 lbs) RV was stuck. Unbeknownst to us, three inches of rain had recently fallen and our site which was downhill was saturated. The campground owner had to pull us out with his huge tractor which as we found out was not the first time a camper had to be pulled out of a soft site in that campground. Luckily, it was a pull-in site so he could attach a chain to the hitch on the back of our RV as there is no way to pull from the front without causing damage. 

    All sites have water, picnic table, and fire pit. There is no sewer but there is a dump station and a “blue boy” for you to use and dump your own tanks. They do not have a pump-out service. The dump station is easy to access and has a hose for you to flush your tanks and a dedicated potable water spigot. The dump station is at the back of a busy parking lot that serves the restaurant, laundry, bath/shower house, and the fuel pump so it can be quite busy and congested. We didn’t eat at the restaurant but others said it was very good. There is also a well-stocked store which sells a variety of souvenirs, food, beer, ice cream, and camping necessities. 

    No cell or internet reception with our Verizon phone. The campground does have wifi but the signal was not strong enough to get reception reliably at our site. You pretty much have to be at the office in order to get it but that’s ok because they have lots of picnic tables and places to sit. 

    Shin Pond rents Polaris UTV and snowmobiles, canoes, and kayaks in the summer and snowmobiles in the winter. We went on a UTV ride one day and were treated to some beautiful views. Just a few miles down the road is a short hiking trail leading to Shin Pond Falls and another trail that runs along the Seboeis river which is a beautiful hike. The campground is close to the northern entrances to Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument and Baxter State Park which is the major reason why we stayed there. We loved exploring these parks where you have access to beautiful hiking trails and lakes and ponds and is not as crowded as the southern areas. Note that dogs are not allowed in Baxter State Park and there are restrictions on vehicle sizes. The nearest town is Patten (about 15 minutes away) and has a hardware store, gift shop, full-service grocery, fuel, restaurants, and the Lumberman’s Museum.

    Two years later, even better

    I enjoyed my stay here 2 years ago and was glad to have a chance to visit again. This campground provides hookups, a pool, friendly hosts, and an expanded store. They're also expanding the campground and have created additional RV sites with water and electric, though the hill to the upper sites (the Tent Area on their map) is rougher than the loop in the RV section.

    Many of the RV sites will require larger units to park parallel to the road. Bring longer power cords and hoses to ensure it will reach your rig because they may be on the 'wrong' site of your connections depending on how you park. Dump station available.

    Owners are friendly and helpful. They'll offer moose tours, shuttles, and good advice on where to go, what to do. Stay here and you're not too far from Baxter SP, Katahdin Woods and Waters NM, and white water rafting. ATV trails are available. Hiking, fishing, photography are just a few of the other activities to enjoy in the area. Groceries available in Millinocket.

    I didn't explore the tent area when i stayed here before, so I've tried to add pictures of most of those sites. 

    Reservations open a year in advance.

    Good spot close to Baxter

    If you don't want to camp in Baxter State Park this is a good spot. There seem to be different parts to the campground. Ours was a few minutes walk from the lodge. It is extremely dark at night, has plumbed bathrooms. The lodge is nice and North Trading Post is a good spot for coffee, snacks and gifts. The owner is an ex-ranger so gave us really good tips for hiking in Baxter.

    Perfect for right outside park

    Nice camp ground . Great staff that fit us in last minute even though our tent was a little to big for the spot. Very accommodating.Quite little spot. Wish they could keep the generator going for the facilities but I get it that it would probably keep the sites near it up. Really nice campground, would stay here again especially if I was Say hiking the mountain.

    Wife and I had an amazing time at this super quite and beautiful lake. They have nice cabins for rent, or great tent sites. They offer boat/canoe/kayak rentals along with having a store that has the essentials. Each site has a potable water hook up. Baxter State park hiking trails are a quick hike away.

    Aptly named at 100 mile wilderness

    Good location as I was supporting an AT hiker through the 100 mile wilderness. Close to Baxter state park and the Katahdin Iron Works area that provided access to the wilderness. There was a fee to access the wilderness from KI-Jo-Mary area but it they had their own great trails. Arrived a little early and the owner tried to get me to pay a fee which I declined. 12:30 arrival isn't too early in my opinion. Lots of ATV riders occupying sites so I'm sure lots of riding trails nearby.

    Bee Aware

    I don’t have many complaints about this campground. There was a slight bee problem during our stay, but that’s to be expected. 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 beach isn’t a far walk away, if you wanted to go on a small hike. Pets are allowed at the campground, but not on the beach. There’s also plenty of trails to explore.

    If you need firewood, there’s a store on the way to the park that sells some as well as a shaws and a tractor supply in town that sells it as well. The parks fire wood burns too quickly.

    Overall, would recommend

    Fantastic of grid camping !!

    Wonderful location only 18 sites. I have camped here several times and live in the area. Roads are bumpy and dusty but very passable. Though I’m not bringing my half million dollar Dutch Star here. Basic caper or tent absolutely. Sites are simple with no hookups or dump station. Don’t let my comments discourage you just information. Love the sites they are protected from the wind. I’d rather recommended going in by boat and fish likely you can tent.
