Summary
Sites include lean-tos, tent pads, and limited bunkhouses. Amenities include pit toilets, potable water (seasonal), fire rings, and picnic tables—no RV hookups or flush toilets. RVs are permitted but space is limited. Nestled in a forested setting near streams and the base of Mount Katahdin, the campground is the western trailhead for the Hunt Trail (Appalachian Trail). The scenery is rugged and serene. Best time to visit is summer through early fall (June–September) for hiking and ideal weather.

Camping Essential Practices
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
