Summary
Dam Tentsite in Maine offers free, first-come, first-served dispersed and established tent camping along the gentle Allagash Wilderness Waterway. No reservations or permits are needed for the site itself, though waterway permits may apply. Amenities are minimal: expect rustic pit toilets, no potable water (bring your own or treat lake water), fire rings, and picnic tables; no RV access or hookups. Nestled in a tranquil, forested lakeside setting, it’s ideal for canoeists and backpackers seeking solitude. Nearby, paddlers can explore the scenic Allagash River. Best visited in late spring through early fall for ideal weather and access.

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.
