The area north of Millinocket is a vast sweep of forest, dotted with lakes and ledge, and cut by one of the most fabled rivers in Maine, the West Branch of the Penobscot. This is Thoreau country, the setting for the journeys described in Henry David Thoreau’s The Maine Woods. It is a land rich in human and natural history, and nowhere more so than at Big Eddy, where the Penobscot River finally slows after a 5-mile tumble through the rapids of Ripogenus Gorge.
Situated just outside Baxter State Park, Big Eddy is considered a world-class site for Landlocked Salmon and has been a destination for fishermen for at least 100 years. The road to Big Eddy is equally stirring.
Just beyond Millinocket, the grand Katahdin Range looms on the horizon, and the summits of Doubletop, The Owl, the Brothers, and Mt. O-J-I are all visible on a clear day. It is still possible to see more moose than cars on an early-morning drive on the Golden Road. Then there’s the river itself, a dark constant cutting through the region’s geology and culture.
Big Eddy remains one of those rare places that seem unchanged by time. Join us for an experience in one of the most spectacular places in New England.
When the weather is right, make your way up to Shin Pond Village and enjoy the very best of nature.

Our Vision Farm is a small family homestead recently relocated to beautiful Maine!
Our 16 spacious acres are made up from our 1870's Farmhouse, one of the originals built in Kingman, Maine as well as a field that we will be planting our future Honeyberry Orchard, Pasture Raised Meat Chickens and Growing a Market Garden to stock the Farm Stand. The remaining acreage is wooded and perfect for foraging or walking down the trail to see the train tracks. Nearby around Kingman and surrounding towns there are many spots for fishing, swimming and hiking as well as atv trails. The two closest major towns for shopping or restaurants are Lincoln Maine or Houlton Maine. We are about an hour and 15 minutes away from Bangor Maine.
We love the peace and tranquility of our little farm in rural Kingman, Maine and are excited to share the property with you! Grass parking only, not paved. We have septic, a hose for water and 30 amp electric available. No wifi.
Our property is also our home and we have a farm stand open to the public. Some traffic, customers and ongoing farm projects are to be expected around the property.
$25 / night
Located approximately 10 miles from the intersection of Route 11 and Swift Brook Rd. Contains 3 sites.

I really enjoyed playing Doraemon X! The gameplay is super fun and full of surprises. The colorful graphics and engaging challenges make it a great experience!
Ranger
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!
ScoutNice big camp ground, clean bathroom and shower. Close to interstate 95.
Ranger
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.
Ranger
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.
Guide
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.
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 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!
Scout
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.
Guide
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.
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.
Ranger
Great place to camp. Very helpful staff. Quiet and very clean campground. Good access to lots of good fly fishing!
GuideNot 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.
Scout
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!
Legend
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.
ScoutI 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.

I love the Allagash and this is a great spot to stop along the way. Primitive as you want and unreal scenery and wildlife. You can’t beat it.
TravelerI’ve stayed at the Big eddy many times over the years. It’s always a reliable, clean, and friendly place when I’m up north. It does get a bit busy in the summer with rafters and around holiday weekends. But off-season is always a great time to go. Never had a bad stay at big eddy. Also no cryin!
LegendGreat for RVers, didn’t see any tent campers while we were there. Lots of wildlife enthusiasts looking for moose, hunting rabbits and deer, and all sorts of fish from smelt to lake trout to land-locked salmon and even perch. Just beautiful surroundings. Friendly folks very attuned to the courtesy rules, generators, quiet hours, etc.
LegendNorthern Pride is a 5-bedroom lodge and RV and tent campground. The property sits adjacent to the 8-mile-long Roach Pond (which is more like a lake because of its size and deep water but the state of Maine classifies body of water a pond if there is water flowing in and out of it versus a lake that is contained and has no input or outfall).
The campground has a mix of tent and RV sites. The RV sites are 20-amp electric and water with the exception of one(transient) site that is 30-amp and water. Sites are level and are back-ins so your back window has a view of the pond. Tent sites sit right between the shore and RV sites with an unobstructed view of the pond. Tent sites are large, open grassy areas far enough from the RV sites so you don’t feel like you have an RV staring at you. RV sites are pretty close together and all but two are seasonal sites. The seasonal sites were pretty junky when we visited and many campers needed to do a little cleaning up at their sites. Most people just come for the weekend to enjoy the pond so it is pretty quiet during the week. Tent and RV sites cost$35 and$40(respectively) for two people. If you have more people, it costs$3/person/night which seems like it could get quite expensive for a family of five, especially since you only have minimal electric and water. There is no sewer and the pump out service was quite steep at$50/pump out (both grey and black) and is only available on Wednesdays- so plan accordingly. Hot showers are available so you can save tank space by not showering in your RV. All sites have picnic tables and fire rings. Many of the firepits looked like they were dumpsters as they were filled with cardboard, paper plates, and other trash. Firewood is available for$6/milk crate sized amount. The lodge serves meals if you don’t feel like cooking you can order a la carte or there is the Kokadjo Trading Post just a short walk away which has some groceries and good burgers. The owner is a registered Master Maine Guide and they offer fishing and hunting trips (for a fee). There also have kayak, canoe, and a 16-foot motorboat for rent.
There is a public boat launch right next to the campground if you have your own boat. Since the property is right on the water it is convenient to launch a canoe or kayak and the views of the surrounding mountains make for a great paddling destination. The closest town with services is Greenville that is about 20 miles away. The road from Greenville is a newly paved road that is easy to navigate. If you come from elsewhere, it’s best to call for directions and not follow your GPS because many roads are for ATVs only.
Guide
This was a great two day tent camping trip. KOA’s are not always known for their tent sites but this one has a decent amount of them and the DMZ area between the RV’s and the tents is adequate so your not pitching your tent right next to an RV: our campsite was slightly off the beaten path which was exactly what we wanted. Good quite relaxing weekend . They have recently installed a new pool here so if it gets hot you have that great amenity. They also have the mining for gems activity that you see at some KOA’s and all my kids enjoyed that. The bathrooms were super clean. Kids enjoyed finding frogs in all their ponds. They have also added two “glamping tents” which look nice. The family enjoyed this so much we plan on making this an annual trip to this specific campground. This used to be “my brother place” campground and from what I gather significant upgrades have been made. Disclaimer : I know one of the owners but my review is honest.
TravelerWe 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!
TravelerI 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.
Legend
There are a few sites in the East Branch Pleasant River camping area within the Ki Jo Mary multi-use forest. After passing Little Jo Mary and before you reach Gauntlet falls, there’s a fork in the road and a few of these sites down each branch. EB1 is parallel to the road, large enough to handle a truck camper or small trailer easily as well as multiple tents. EB2 is tucked away off the road providing a little more privacy and shade. Sites have a vault toilet available. EBP4 has a small shelter. They are between the Little Jo Mary Pond campsites and Gauntlet Falls, with a river running behind them. Site are relatively level Fire pit and picnic table provided. Bring your own water or plan to treat it.
This is accessible from the Jo Mary checkpoint. Fees are higher for out of state campers. Firewood available at the checkpoind. Midweek in August only one of these sites was occupied. Plan to arrive before 9pm to avoid having to pay a higher fee for access. Look out for the logging trucks! They move fast and have the right of way. The main roads seemed to be maintained pretty well. A grader was out and about when I was there.
Gauntlet falls has a nice swimming hole and there are several ponds nearby for car-top boats and fishing.
LegendShin 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.
LegendI 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.
