    Katahdin Shadows Campground

    Amazing

    The 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/

    Lunksoos Campground — Katahdin Woods And Waters National Monument

    Nice location, still has the feel of being newly constructed

    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.

    Her photo of the campground map is still accurate.

    Called and got a reservation day-of as my husband and I were driving through. We had a pleasant stay on a great site with a beautiful view and managed to get showers in and laundry done, too!

    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.

    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.

    Katahdin Shadows Campground

    Friendly But Very Close

    What 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

    Daicey Pond Cabins — Baxter State Park

    Great place

    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.

    Omaha Beach

    Great quiet spot

    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.

    Our Vision Farm

    Beautiful quiet spot

    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!

    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.

    How Camping Should Be

    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.

    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.

    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.

    No privacy, but free

    Not that happy with these sites, yes, they are disperment sites, but it's really a parking lot with 10 free sites right next to each other, with maybe a few rocks between sites. We dud not end up staying over night, because we wanted our dogs to run free. We drove into the park and found private lake access for the day, but no camping.

    Fantastic place to stay!

    If you want to get away and have a moment for yourself, this is the place to be. You can enjoy the unbelievable sunrises or sunsets across the pond (which is over 7 miles long), or you can relax in your camper or tent. The food is fantastic too!

    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.
