These primitive sites are huge along the office side of the Penobscot River. The sites we were in were large with multiple backup sites for trailer tents. The rushing sounds of the rapids were the only background noise heard. Speaking of noise, there is no cell phone reception and radio reception is poop to none. By far the most peaceful campground I've ever visited. We camped here in a Tent.
If you need hook-ups, do not even think of going to Frost Pond Camps. By the same token, if you want to experience camping at its essence you cannot find a better location. The owner, Gene Thompson, is helpful and friendly. He ensures that Frost Pond Camps remains quiet and peaceful. There are cabins for rent at the campground in addition to the six campsites. The campground is located in a secluded area, approximately 1 1/2 hours north of Greenville, Maine. The road leading to the campground is dirt and can be rough on your vehicle. But the bumps just add to the remote feeling. Literally, you can place your hand in front of your face at night and not see it. It is that dark. The sky is overflowing with stars. The pond is beautiful and many fishermen were catching large brook trout. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is another great Maine State Park way up north on Moosehead Lake. The sites were wooded and many right on the water. We had a wooded site and it is quite private and peaceful. There are hot showers but no utilities. You can boat, fish, swim, hike and see a lot of wildlife. Just outside the park we saw a number of moose on different days. Be careful though -they are big and will be protective especially the mothers with their young. It gets very dark at night even in August, if you are in a wooded campsite, so bring flashlights. It is a beautiful area of Maine and the campground is great. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a very primitive State Park way up in the mountains on Moosehead Lake, it is awesome. This was our first visit to Maine and we stayed here for a couple nights in a tent. Awesome scenery, great hiking trails nearby, fishing, sightseeing. Very clean and after 10pm you could here a pin drop it was so quiet. We are already talking about going back up there, but we live in NC so it may be a while. Could not find any reviews on the park before we booked a reservation but sure glad we stayed here. We camped here in a Tent.
This is a very friendly campground with level sites. They are typical of New England campgrounds in that it is all grass and gravel. The only disadvantage is there are no sewer hook ups but they do have a dump station and offer honey wagon service. It was very quiet and we would definitely stay here again if in the area.
