The best mountainous camping in Maine

Name: Maine
Address: Maine
Rating: 4.805

In Maine’s mountains, camping means crisp air, granite peaks, and tall pines all around. On Hipcamp, you’ll find over 240 mountain-ready campsites across the state—some tucked beside trout streams, others overlooking ridgelines speckled with blueberry bushes. Expect essentials like showers, campfire rings, and toilets. Fishing, snow sports, and wild swimming are the main draws here. Plan on $50 a night, though you can snag a spot for as little as $20. If you want real camper feedback, The Point (471 reviews) is a favorite for its lakeside setting, while Hole in the Wall Camping (157 reviews) gets high marks for its trails and quiet, and The Howling Woods (129 reviews) draws hikers and snowshoers. Pack for quick weather shifts and muddy boots. The best views come after a climb.

A mystical 7 acres of mossy woods on the edge of Acadia National Park. Listen for coyotes, owls and even loons on the lake. We are just a 1.5 mile walk from the border of the Park. Just a short drive from the most popular spots. Yet even at the height of summer, it’s really peaceful here on the quiet side of the island. Sometimes called the wild side :)

The Point is located in Gouldsboro, in Downeast Maine on the Schoodic Peninsula near the Schoodic portion of Acadia National Park on occupied Wabanaki land. The point is our home, offered to guests as a place for seekers of peace and solace to gain a better relationship and appreciation with nature in a world that has forgotten the importance and connection we all have with the planet that sustains us. A priority here for me is keeping this land pristine and respected. Our mission to save and protect our natural environment and keep it natural and wild can only be accomplished with the active mindfulness of you. We aim to prove that hipcamp can be a magical experience for private landowners and campers alike, to provide a means of temporal community and beneficial alternative to traditional campgrounds; one that does not degrade the environment and break the peace that small towns still contain. Please be mindful of the trash you generate and mindful of the noise you are making— we aim to provide seekers of peace a *quiet* time in nature. Together we are here to be an example to others of what mindful camping can look like in this changing world. Thanks for caring to come, see, explore, learn and being apart of the solution! <3 We hope to hear from you <3

We purchased this land a few years ago when our neighbors decided to sell. It abuts our property They used it as a place for their family to gather and camp on during Maine wonderful summer season. It is a beautiful, quiet spot with a great view and a small pond. Hipcamp lets us share this spot and helps pay our property taxes. We are located in the western mountains of Maine in a summer community on Porter Lake. There is a beautiful view of New Vineyard mountain from our 3 acre field. We are going through some growing pains. We currently have no hookups available. We have added a bath house with hot showers which will soon be up and running. The camp sites have been relocated deeper into our property. A loop road behind our private pond provides the access. We will be adding power and water to all our sites as soon as possible. The camping area is fairly private from our neighbors along the road. The site has a small private pond surrounded by trees you can sit and relax near. You can (walk/bike/drive) the 1/4 mile down the dirt road to the public beach. The beach has a public dock, boat ramp, swim float, picnic tables and grills. Paddle out to the island and try the rope swing with one of our kayaks or canoes. Be sure to check out the bald eagles that live in the white pine tree just a little farther down the island. You will hear the loons during your stay and possibly see a mother with her babies on her back. There are also ducks and ducklings and geese with gosling paddling about the lake. The state stocks the lake with trout, splake, and salmon if you like to fish. There is plenty to do right here!

Wander among birch, spruce, maple, and young pine forests, or search for the property's massive glacial erratic—a huge boulder left behind by the last Ice Age. Wildlife sightings are common, and the peaceful setting makes this an ideal place to slow down, unplug, and reconnect with nature. Good to Know The well water is safe to use, though it may appear slightly rusty when first pumped due to the well system. A Brita filter is provided for drinking water. Cell service varies by carrier. Please respect the land, wildlife, and neighboring properties. During dry conditions, use extra caution with campfires and follow any local fire restrictions. Guests consistently tell us the sunsets, star-filled skies, and peaceful setting are what bring them back.

Millinocket, ME · 57 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging

Big Moose Inn Cabins & CampgroundIrving O. Hunt and his brother Lyman built some rough camps on Millinocket Lake before they became interested in the Nesowadnehunk Stream region. Whether or not their old camps were at the same site as the present camps on Millinocket Lake we do not know.The Millinocket Lake Camps, known today as Big Moose Inn, are located on a narrow spit of land separating Ambejejus Lake and Millinocket Lake. Before a dam controlled Ambajejus’ water level, it was possible to pole up the short stream from Millinocket Lake into Ambejejus.Fred Spencer build the camps, originally named Camp Eureka, in 1899 or 1900 and ran them with his brother. With the founding of Millinocket only a few years earlier and lumbering roads nearing Katahdin, the two lakes became more easily accessible. Camp Eureka was advertised as the only camp reachable by both boat (from Norcross) and road (from Millinocket). In 1905, the rate was $1.50 per day, meals included. Spencer also claimed the lakes had no flies or mosquitoes during spring and summer- a phenomenon caused by the way winds blow across the lakes, which makes it difficult for insects to gain a foothold.The camps’ name changed to Camp Spencer and later to Spencer’s Camps. Around 1929 the lease was transferred to Elmer Woodworth, who lived with his wife on a nearby island while they operated the camps. Elmer, a well-known guide, trapped over the winter, and his wife served as the camp cook. The couple soon renamed the camps Millinocket Lake Camps and Trading Post. They also maintained an outlying camp on Sandy Stream for their guests. In 1941, a major fire broke out in the area. The Woodworths saved the camps by wetting them down, but lost their island home when a stray spark jumped the cove. There is some evidence that, for a short time, a gentleman named Johnny Given either held the lease or managed the camps for the Woodworths. Except for that brief change the Woodworths operated the camps for many years until they passed the lease on to their son Ray, who ran them with his wife Muriel.In 1977, the lease was transferred to Bob and Frederica (“Teddy”) Boynton, who in 1981 sold the trading post to Erwin and Maureen Bacon. The Boyntons retained the sporting camp operation and later added a public restaurant. Teddy renamed the camps Big Moose Inn. Bob and his son Bruce made many renovations to the camps, while Teddy decorated and furnished them. The Boynton Family has remained involved in the success of the inn and restaurant. After Teddy’s death in 1991, management passed to Bruce and his sister Laurie, but Bob and other family members are still very involved.The dam separates the flowages of the two lakes. Millinocket Lake is about eight feet above its original level, and Ambajejus is now some 21 feet above its original level. Today several West Branch rafting companies make the inn their seasonal center of operations.At Big Moose, we bring you a rare blend of friendly service and lovely surroundings that successfully reflects our unique personality.

We are off the beaten path in the forest near the White Mountain National Forest. A 6 to 8 minute hike from your site gets you to a private lake. We have two local waterfalls only 2 miles away. Drive back out to 5 Kezars road. Take a right on the paved road. It will turn back into dirt. Keep on this road until you see a beautiful stone house on your left. Keep going just up the hill and you will see a right turn into the woods where you can park. There are no signs for Kezar gorge. Hike towards the sound of the falls. There is a small cave under the falls you can climb up into if you are a strong swimmer. There is a second set of falls if you hike down the river. A most magical spot for sure. There is a beautiful hike to a mountain lookout view of an amazing panoramic of lakes and mountains including Mt Washington and Pleasant Ski mountain right from your site. Here is a link for all Greater Lovell Land trust trails: https://www.gllt.org/five-kezars-reserve Virginia lake is in the White Mountain National forest and is only 6 miles ( a ten minute drive away) Sometimes you have to hike in a bit to get to the beach. Very private. Shallow beach is great for children and dogs. Keewayden Lake Dam is a fun place to swim in a local lake. Only an 8 minute drive Keoka lake has a nice beach with a dock to swim too. !0 minute drive Covered Bridge in Bethel Screw Ager falls at Graftons Notch State park 45 min drive Ski resorts nearby are Sunday River, Mt Abrams and Pleasant Mt

We had a great stay! Doug was super friendly and had great recommendations for hikes around the area. We also had the best view of the stars I’ve seen in Maine so far. Would definitely recommend and would definitely stay again!

1 night at eCamp, Maine

The tiny house is a charming little cabin. The site has nice trails and the nearby river is nice. Keep in mind that if the Bahn site is booked, you will have very little privacy outside the cabin as they are right next to eachother. I would also reccomend bringing wood. We stayed after a few days of rain and the wood on site was soaked and there were only a couple small logs inside our cabin. The bed in the tiny cabin is a couch that folds out, for two people one side is a bit uncomfortable, a mattress is provided but it is too small to cover the whole bed and too large to cover just one side. So I would reccomend bringing a mattress to put on top of the whole thing (a double bed size). The disc golf set up is a fun plus!

Had a wonderful stay. Originally going to stay at Woodpecker campsite in our tent but with the rainy weather Donanne allowed us to upgrade to the Forest yurt. The yurt was comfortable and close to a babbling brook. It had a screened in kitchen with utensils to use and a camp stove. Be sure to bring a propane bottle for the stove but Donanne has bottles to purchase, if necessary.

2 nights at Camp Cochran Webb River Carthage Me

Absolutely beautiful location - sites 1-3 are right on the river (we didn’t get a good look at site 4). We stayed at site 3 because we needed an electric hook-up. Sites have a bit of distance between and are very well kept. Dusty was a great friendly host. He was a delight to talk to and very helpful. We would absolutely stay here again if we find ourselves anywhere nearby.

Weekend Trip to Magnificent View Blueberry Hilltop

What a glorious view we had! Everywhere we looked was something to “Oooo Wowww!!” at!! Fall is a perfect time to come as the blueberry field’s leaves were all changing to red. Our doggie girls had a blast hiking around with us, as we collected beautiful rocks along the way. With the storm coming in, it was wicked windy and very cool to listen overnight. Thank you for a unique and beautiful experience on your property that we would never seen if not for HipCamp!!

Beautiful and quiet. We wish we could’ve stayed longer. Will be back. Swimming at high tide is a must-do. Bring binoculars to watch seals and the numerous variety of shorebirds.

Weekend Trip to 100 Mile Wilderness Cabin

Wonderful place. The perfect combination of rustic and comfortable. Feels like an off grid cabin should, but also has modern touches, like solar lights and a flush toilet. Easy access to the Appalachian trail with ponds for exploring nearby. The perfect place to get away and relax.

Weekend Trip to Hillside Gateway to Acadia/Schoodic

The site is exactly as described. Easy to find in daylight, and easy to find and level my truck/camper. Yes you actually can see the Atlantic just over the treeline, The cabin is cozy and plenty of space in a field-like setting. Was pleasantly surprised to find a decent sit-down restaurant (Ironbound) only about 10 minutes away. We scoped out the site during daylight, and came back after dinner and set-up in the dark and enjoyed a quiet and peaceful overnight.

The spot was lovely! We enjoyed the privacy yet the proximity to so much to do. Having the little cabin was also much appreciated as we had a rainy night and it gave us a spot to stay dry.

Outside the cabin there's a nice little porch, a firepit, and a patio table & chairs

Such a special spot. Proximity to walking and ponds was especially cool. The thought and care put into the cabin is really evident! We had a great stay.
