Several RV parks accommodate motorhome travelers in the Stacyville region. Wilderness Edge Campground in Millinocket provides water and electric hookups, though site orientation varies with some requiring RVs to park parallel to camp roads for proper hookup access. Katahdin Shadows Campground in Medway features full hookup sites including 50-amp service, water, and sewer connections from May through November. Shin Pond Village Campground offers waterfront sites with electric and water hookups, though campers should be cautious of potentially soft, grass sites after rainfall. "Sites are large and level, backing up to the woods and with trees between the sites providing some privacy," according to one visitor to Wilderness Edge.
For travelers planning multi-day stays, dump stations are available at Wilderness Edge and Katahdin Shadows campgrounds. Cell service varies significantly throughout the region, with reliable Verizon coverage reported at Wilderness Edge but limited connectivity at Shin Pond Village. Most campgrounds in the area close by mid-October, making advance reservations essential during summer and early fall when Baxter State Park and Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument draw significant traffic. Pet policies generally allow dogs at most RV parks, though pets are prohibited within Baxter State Park. When arriving at area campgrounds, one camper noted, "We don't recommend coming in after dark - it can be difficult to navigate," particularly for larger rigs on the region's narrow, tree-lined access roads.

LegendMatagamon Wilderness
Great location Near Baxter State Park
The location of this campground is great! It is situated on the East Branch of the Penobscot River and just one and a half miles from the north entrance to Baxter State Park and very close to Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument. If you are looking for a great place to stay in the northern Maine wilderness with great access to amazing hiking, fishing, canoeing, and hunting, this is the place for you. Matagamon Wilderness is a mix of campsites and cabins with a general store, restaurant, gas station and guide service. The staff are very friendly and extremely helpful and gave us lots of tips on fishing and places to hike. The campground is small at just over 30+ Sites which are a mix of sizes from small ones suitable for vans or tent to those that can handle bigger RVs. Sites are spread throughout the property and very rustic in their feel. Campsites along the water are the best with great views and easy water access right out your door. Other are set back and have a great sense of privacy. Campsites have picnic tables and fire pits. The tent sites have lean-to’s to protect you from the weather. Toilets are vault toilets. If you are looking for “RV Resort” type amenities, you won’t find many as this is a basic campground. There are cabins on the property for those that don’t have an RV or tent. The cabins were recently renovated with equipped kitchens, showers, gas lights, gas heat, wood stoves, and screened porches. The shower facilities had great water pressure with lots of hot water and there is a dump station for RVers. Daily camping rates are affordable at $35/night. Inside the “store” is a restaurant with delicious food and reasonable prices. They have a variety of food items for sale and delicious home-baked bread and cookies. They are famous for their Mount Katahdin Burger– which is three 8-oz angus beef patties, American cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pickles, and mayo, on a homemade bear bun and served with chips and a pickle. The store also has a great selection of beer, including many from Maine. Another eatery is at Shin Pond Campground which is just a short drive away.
A couple things to note. Cell service is very poor in this area. Our Verizon phone popped in and out of service but mostly it did not pick up a signal so no phone or mobile data. If you are going to Baxter State Park be aware that there are restrictions on vehicles(“no vehicle over nine feet high, seven feet wide, or 22 feet long for a single vehicle or 44 feet long for combined units”) and dogs are strictly prohibited.

Beware this campground reverted to prior owner.
I stayed here for 3 full seasons when it was managed by the Shamps, as an incorporation.However they stopped the purchase and now it's being managed by original owners. The same owners who refused to allow inspectors onto the property, had sub par facilities and trespassed employees. Yet, the shamps upgraded the roads, bathrooms, showers, and all plumbing. So the place looks nicer than ever, although still fails some inspection line items. There is black mold in the tent side bathhouse, the touletstalls are smaller than legal size, and all the sites are laid out with the posts on the wrong side,( so bring extra power corda) or you must setup facing the road, not the woods. Also be aware there is NO Lake or rivers on this campground, the website is deceiving. Yes you can rent canoe or kayaks, but you also need to have a car/truck to take them to water. The camp is pet friendly, ATV friendly, and lots of ATV trails nearby. There is no ADA accessable toilets anywhere, but there are some larger showers, just no bars/railings, or accessable sprayers on the shower. The one that was there, , has been used as a maintence closet for at least 4 years,and gas unusable toilet . The laundry machines are good,for small loads. 1 washer- 1 dryer. Stayed April thru October for 3 years. I will NOT return under this owner, and do not recommend this place anymore.

Beautiful location and friendly staff
This is a rustic campground in a beautiful setting. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They kept everything clean. The campground is really a base of operations for NEOC’s whitewater rafting, so in the morning and afternoon, you have groups of rafters come in getting ready for or returning from their trip. You can book rafting trips with them, and the guides who worked there were awesome.
The campground is on a small lake, and they have a bunch of kayaks and canoes kept at the side with oars and PFDs. Sign a waiver, and you can take them out, no hassle. From the lake, there is a great view of Mt. Katahdin.
There is a pavilion with pool tables and indoor fire pit that you can go hang out at night as well as tables where you can sit out back overlooking the lake. There’s even a pub area indoors. No camp store so make sure to get what you need in town.
Only one issue that prevented me from giving them five stars: they advertise that there are flush toilets and showers but no hot water when the generator isn’t running. It runs for a few hours in the morning and then from about 3-9 pm. The problem is that the restroom doors are locked when the generators are off, so there are no flush toilets or potable water when the generator is off. There are outhouses throughout the campground, but that wasn’t what we were expecting. They could also use a couple of speed limit signs on the main road bc cars go pretty fast in that area.
Overall, a great campground for any hiking or rafting in the area!

Jo-Mary Campground
Yea, beautiful location, but overpriced & lacking
They charged us almost $400 for two tent sites, for two nights. They are clearly resting on their laurels, need to hire more help for peak periods, be in the office when they need to be available and answer their phones and return phone calls, and also need to check for garbage left by previous campers and have their port-a-potties emptied way more often (gross!)
If you can get past the price gouging and lack of attention to detail, the place IS beautiful and enjoyable.
Guide to Stacyville
Campgrounds near Stacyville, Maine offer diverse options for outdoor recreation in Maine's North Woods region. Located near the eastern boundary of Baxter State Park and Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument, the area features dense forests, streams, and lakes at elevations ranging from 400-1,000 feet. Summer temperatures typically reach 75-80°F during day and drop to 55-60°F at night, with frequent rainfall creating potentially challenging camping conditions.
What to do
Wildlife viewing opportunities: The area surrounding Shin Pond Village Campground provides excellent habitat for moose and bird watching. "We were interested in kayaking on ponds and streams in the KAWW or Baxter State Park," notes one camper. The campground sits between upper and lower Shin Ponds with easy boat access to both bodies of water.
Water activities: Multiple lakes and streams offer paddling options within a 30-minute drive of most campgrounds. "From the lake, there is a great view of Mt. Katahdin," writes a visitor about New England Outdoor Center. "They have a bunch of kayaks and canoes kept at the side with oars and PFDs. Sign a waiver, and you can take them out, no hassle."
Hiking trails: The region offers various hiking options from easy to challenging. "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," notes a camper. The campground is conveniently located near the northern entrances to Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument.
What campers like
Clean facilities: Many rv campgrounds in Stacyville area maintain high cleanliness standards. A camper at Wilderness Edge Campground appreciated "clean (like super clean) showers and bath house, fire pit and picnic table at each site and cabin, super helpful, friendly hosts and last minute gear avail at the office."
Peace and quiet: Most campgrounds offer a relaxed atmosphere away from crowds. "Sites are large and level, backing up to the woods and with trees between the sites providing some privacy," according to a visitor at Wilderness Edge. Another camper mentioned, "We've stayed here in cabins and tent sites when hiking Mt Katahdin. Both were clean and tent sites were spacious."
Convenient locations: Campgrounds are strategically positioned for exploring regional attractions. "I headed to the Millinocket area because I wanted to explore the new Katahdin Woods & Waters National Monument, Baxter SP, ponds and byways. Staying at Wilderness Edge proved to be an ideal location with full amenities," wrote one camper.
What you should know
Limited cell service: Connectivity varies substantially throughout the region. At Big Eddy Cabins & Campground, "Big Eddy is about 30 minutes up an unpaved road, towards Baxter State Park... I would recommend reviewing the directions online because there's no service when you get about 30 minutes from the campsite!"
Seasonal operations: Most campgrounds in the Stacyville region operate from May through October. Weather conditions can affect operations, especially in spring. "It was tricky to find any information on this campsite and then the loop road didn't open until just before I left the Millinocket area. It has been a very wet spring after a heavy winter," noted a camper about Sandbank Stream.
Unpaved access roads: Many campgrounds require driving on gravel or dirt roads. "We followed the directions online and got there fine, although it may be harder in difficult weather," wrote a visitor to Big Eddy. Some campgrounds require navigating rough terrain that can be challenging after rainfall.
Tips for camping with families
Playground options: Some campgrounds offer recreational facilities specifically for children. A visitor to Katahdin Shadows Campground mentioned, "Kids enjoyed riding bikes and using the game room. Pool was clean and in a central location. Quick easy walk on a path to store and small restaurant."
Family activities: Organized events create entertainment options. "We went on a holiday weekend with lots of events planned. Family hayride was fun," noted a camper at Katahdin Shadows. Another mentioned, "LOVED this place. SUPER friendly staff. Arcade and well stocked store. Heated pool, campfires, tractor rides."
Pet assistance services: Some campgrounds provide unique pet services. "This is a great campground! It is pet friendly & they will check on your pets or even walk them!" reported a visitor. Another noted, "The management is very friendly and helpful in the care of my family pets, they'll walk and occasionally keep an eye on your pets while you're out hiking."
Tips from RVers
Site conditions: RV sites at many Stacyville area campgrounds may have challenging terrain. At Our Vision Farm, "Power/water/sewer worked great. We had full cell reception with T-mobile and Verizon," wrote one RVer who spent several weeks at this single-site property.
Parking challenges: Some campgrounds have specific parking requirements for proper hookup access. "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' side of your connections depending on how you park," advised an experienced camper.
Ground saturation: RV campers should be aware of potentially soft ground after rainfall. "Sites are grass with very little gravel and, as we found out, they can be very soft. We pulled into our site and before we knew it our 45' RV was stuck," cautioned an RVer at Shin Pond Village, where they needed a tractor to extract their vehicle after heavy rain.
