Maine Huts & Trails

Maine Huts & Trails operates a network of five backcountry huts spread across 35 square miles in the Carrabasset Valley, accessible only by hiking or boating. Each hut features bunkhouse sleeping with tent camping available within 100 yards, plus full bathrooms and showers powered by sustainable systems. The setup includes a yurt positioned halfway between Poplar and Flagstaff huts for rest stops.

Electric hookups serve RV campers, though the remote location means minimal cell service throughout the valley. Meals and provisions are available at each hut location. Serious hiking and biking trails connect the facilities, with nature programs offered to explore the surrounding forest environment. Round Barn Campsites provides a more traditional camping experience for those preferring road access over the backcountry hut system.

Unbelievable backcountry lodging and camping in Maine

Wow! What an impressive set up. Multiple huts laid out over 35 square miles in the heart of the Carrabasset Valley. Trails lead you into a paradise of Maine's backcountry. 5 huts are there for you to find, explore and stay at. Each huts has a bunkhouse to sleep in. Camping is also available within 100 yard of each hut. There's a yurt halfway between Poplar and Flagstaff huts. A great place to chill for a break or a snack. Situated in a valley with mega climbs, serious hiking and biking trails, and lots of water, there's always something to do. The huts have nature programs for you to explore the forest environment with. All huts provide you with meals and other nourishment if you choose. All huts have showers and nice bathrooms which are fully sustainable. There's not much wifi or cell phone reception in the huts, and they like it that way. Take a break from the reality of the modern world amd get lost in the woods of Maine.
