Neil E Michaud Campground

North of Presque Isle along Route 1, Neil E Michaud Campground occupies a large open field bordered by woods on one side and farmland on the other. The entrance can be easy to miss, as the sign sits tucked among trees, but campers will spot the field itself before seeing the marker when approaching from the south.

Sites spread across grassy terrain that accommodates both tents and RVs up to 45 feet, with electric, water, and sewer hookups available. The proximity to the main road means traffic noise carries across the property throughout the day. A small bathhouse provides basic facilities with toilets and a shower, though the building shows its age with dated fixtures and peeling paint on the exterior.

The campground operates year-round and includes amenities like WiFi, a dump station, and laundry facilities. "Water & electrical hookups" are standard, as one reviewer noted, while tent campers can also access electric service at their sites. Check-in takes place at the back door of the main house on the property.

For campers attending local events or exploring camping near Presque Isle, this basic field setup works well as an overnight base, particularly for those with larger rigs who need full hookups in the area.

A basic campground offering spacious sites for RVs and tents with standard hookups. Guests commonly noted road noise and dated facilities, though some appreciated the affordable rates and friendly management.

Most peaceful. Friendly people.

This was a great place to camp. Quiet at night. The woman that runs it is really nice. Cheap for RVs too. We had electric, Wi-Fi, and water on our tent site.

Nothing special except they are the only dump station in the area... and take advantage of this. They charge 3 times more than all others to dump.

Basic Camping

Just a basic field that can accommodate tents & big RVs. Big field in the back that my dog loved to run around in. Water & electrical hookups. Next to a big road that you can hear. There is a little bathhouse with toilets & a shower. Also does have a washer/dryer available. We stayed in a camper during September/October so there weren’t many people around.

Basic open campground for RVs and tents

I was in Presque Isle for the annual Crown of Maine balloon festival and for future reference I wanted to check out area campgrounds. If you’re heading into town from the south, you’ll see the campground before you see the sign which is tucked in among the trees. Check in at the back door of the house.

Sites occupy a large field with woods to the right and farmland to the left. Sites are grassy and open and can accommodate both tents and very large RVs. It is by the main road, so you will hear road traffic. If you are in a tent and dependent upon facilities, there is a small bathroom with toilets and shower. They are cramped and dated; there's a small porch on the front and the paint is peeling.
