Trout Pond Campsite

1 ReviewAdd Review
SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Within the Little Moose Unit of Maine Bureau of Parks and Lands, Trout Pond Campsite sits roughly a quarter mile from its trailhead parking area via a flat, mostly easy path. Wooden planks along the route can turn slippery in wet conditions. The site itself is large and open, with a stone fire ring, picnic table, and an enclosed vault toilet. A fire permit is required before arrival. Access is hike-in or boat-in only, and the site operates on a first-come, first-served basis with a 14-night maximum. Paddlers and anglers use the pond regularly, so expect some company on weekends. Nearby options include Little Notch Pond Campsite and Big Moose Pond Campsite for those planning a multi-night loop through the area. This site works best for self-sufficient campers comfortable with carry-in, carry-out rules.

Nice Secluded Campsite on a Beautiful Pond

This primitive campsite is located in the Little Moose Public Lands area about five miles from downtown Greenville, Maine. The public lands area is approximately 15,000 acres. Access to the public lands and overnight camping are free and this is a first-come, first-served campsite with a 14-night maximum stay. Keep in mind this is a carry in, carry out site. A fire permit is required and can be sought by calling (207) 778-8231. 

From the entrance of the public lands off Route 6, travel approximately 5½ miles along North Road to Trout Pond Road to the trailhead leading to the campsite (the area is well-marked). The campsite is located about a quarter of a mile away from the parking lot. The path to get to the campsite is relatively flat and easy to traverse except over some of the wooden planks which were slippery when I visited due to recent rain. The campsite is really large in a nice open cleared spot with some large trees for shade. A large picnic table and stone fire ring are present. There is a fully enclosed vault toilet that where someone left sanitary wipes, toilet paper, and fire wood inside. Based on the shredded toilet paper, it looks like a mouse uses it as well. The pond is beautiful, and you have water access from this campsite. There are some canoes and boats stashed in the woods and we saw a few people paddling and fishing while we visited so you may have company. 

There is great hiking around Big and Little Moose Ponds with nice views. The Loop hike is about 4.4 miles with a 650’ elevation change. For a harder hike with great views of Moosehead Lake and Greenville, check out Big Moose Mountain which is about 4.4 miles with an elevation gain of 1,800’. Downtown Greenville has good restaurants, shopping, and a few shops. Moose and seaplane tours are very popular and there are plenty of guides if you are interested in hunting and fishing.
