Weekend Trip to Katahdin Region Basecamp

Steve's campsite was wonderful! There are three tents on site, and the largest one has a beautiful porch looking out over Mt. Katahdin and other mountains in Baxter State Park. The kitchen was equipped for everything and we had everything we needed, including solar-powered phone chargers. We were prepared for chilly nights (mid+October), and were toasty in the tents with the woodstove. We hope to return again and do more exploring in the area.

Spacious sites with spectacular views of surrounding mountains.

2 nights at Katahdin Region Basecamp

Travelers is hands down one of the most exceptional glamping experiences I’ve ever had. No detail or amenity has been left out to make the stay as comfortable as possible and you can tell that the host, Steve, truly cares about making the experience special to share with others. We enjoyed some of the local hiking trails and canoeing and were so excited to come back at the end of the day and watch the sunset over Katahdin, which could be seen from every spot on the property. Some of our favorite parts were: -The kitchen which well equipped and had everything required to cook proper meals in the outdoors. -Instant hot water for washing dishes and showering! -A small woodstove in the tent making for one of the coziest camping experiences we’ve had. -The sitting area with comfy couches and gas fireplace for relaxing after a long day outside. I certainly will be recommending Travelers to my friends and family as the best way to experience the Katahdin region.

What a wonderful cabin! Make sure to enjoy the warmth of the wood stove while you hear the sounds of nature (and the occasional train). Not for those who need electricity, wifi, cell service, or running water, but if you want to get off the grid whole being less than an hour from the nearest large town, then this is for you.

Camper Sites were level and open, easy to get the camper in and landed. 30 Amp Power was excellent, water is provided but based on outside cold temps and low pressure, I would fill your on board freshwater tank for better results. Free firewood but bring dry kindling to start your fires with. Great Dump Station to empty your camper prior to departing. Outstanding experience if you are looking to hunt in the North Maine Woods, and you want the finer amenities with your camper rather than boondocking, please give them a look, it is worth it.

The camp was very well built, private and comfortable. Nice tent with fireplace facing the sunset over Mt. Katahdin. The gazebo had a propane grill set up, solar usb power, propane fire pit table and hot water. No problems with cell phone signal. Look forward to staying again next year.

Weekend Trip to Katahdin Region Basecamp

Our list of places to see in the Katahdin region was long, but Westerly was so amazing with good biking, kayaks at the bog and dog friendly fields that we prioritized time at camp. The view of the mountain from the deck was better than any other place we could have gone. It was easy to make great meals since the kitchen was stocked with quality equipment (have you ever had a rental with sharp knives and high quality pans?!?). The site had good lighting, plenty of water, clean shower & toilet. And the benefits of living outside 24/7! Steve was super attentive to my question about the water faucet and we donated an orange vest and hat to be safe on the land during hunting season. Wished we’d booked more than two nights. I miss it already, the dogs do too.

Weekend Trip to Katahdin Region Basecamp

We just returned from a weekend at the Traveler's campsite in Staceyville. It was so beautiful!! What a wonderful camp site. Gazebo decked out with full kitchen, a deck overlooking Mount Katahdin, a hammock, a large sleeping tent, an outdoor shower and a very clean outhouse. What a wonderful way to be in nature. We hiked around the property and went kayaking in the pond. We drove 11 minutes down the road and went for a beautiful bike ride on the Penobscot Trails. And we had cinnamon french toast at Brenda's Restaurant before heading home. Thank you, Steve!

3 nights at Katahdin Region Basecamp

We stayed at Travellers , for 3 nights, our first time glamping, having done many car/tent camp trips. Steve was very responsive and helpful with a question we had. We arrived just as it was starting to rain, and were very glad of our big umbrella to get things loaded into the tent and the kitchen/living room gazebo. FYI, this site has easier access from car to tent and gazebo than Westerly. Excellent stock of nice pots and pans, knives (sharp!) and dinnerware. As expected, no spices other than salt and pepper. Plenty of dishwashing liquid, sponges, paper towels, dishtowels. Roomy! Very comfy sofa and 2 chairs. The 3 burner giant camp cookstove is wonderful. We did not use the grill function. It can be a bit chilly in the gazebo, and the gas open fireplace really is more for ambience than heat. The little woodstove in the tent really heated up, with just 2 logs. The fat wood provided all the kindling necessary, with just one piece of paper to get things going. Cots are decent, not sagging. With very wet raincoats we did wish for a way to hang them up to dry. Outhouse is clean, not smelly. The view! The stars too! The road in is fine, we were in a Subaru Outback. Heard the train a couple of times, as well as traffic on 11 now and then, and we think the mill on one day. We also heard barred owls, coyote, and maybe a moose. We hit fall colors ranging from just starting to near peak. Incredibly beautiful and very close to KWW. All in all wonderful.

Weekend Trip to Katahdin Region Basecamp

Westerly at Siberia Crossing was an amazing site and perfectly located for our exploration of Katahdin Woods and Waters NM. The sunset views from this site of Katahdin to North Traveler Mountain were incredible! The tents and cots were were comfortable and clean. The kitchen gazebo / communal area was very clean and in new condition and was well appointed with everything we needed to prepare meals and clean-up. We particularly enjoyed portion of the gazebo with the comfortable couch, chairs and gas fire pit and incredible views! Everything matched or exceeded the description. Directions and system operating instructions were accurate and easy to follow. Our host Steve provided great communication and was easy to reach with any questions that we had. We will definitely be back to Siberia Crossing ! Thank you Steve for building and managing this amazing glampsite!

1 night at River site 700 acres in north Maine

We had an amazing stay at Bradly’s 700-acre property! 🌲 The campsite was private, peaceful, and surrounded by beautiful scenery. The clean water made it even better, and our dogs absolutely loved exploring the land. My fiancé and I couldn’t have asked for a better getaway. It was exactly what we needed. Bradly was a great host, and everything about the experience felt easy and welcoming. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Weekend Trip to River site 700 acres in north Maine

We had an absolutely amazing experience at this off grid campsite! The location was beautiful, with a peaceful river and crystal-clear water that made the setting so refreshing and relaxing. Our dogs loved it just as much as we did, running around and enjoying the wide open space. The weather couldn’t have been more perfect, which really added to the whole experience. Bradly gave us awesome directions and made everything super easy to find. My fiancé and I had such a great time together here! It was exactly the kind of peaceful getaway we were hoping for. We’ll definitely be coming back again!

3 nights at Sunnyside Family Farm Camping

5 stars are not enough to rate this place. Besides the obvious fact that it's extremely inexpensive it's also set on very picturesque land. The Etienne family is very genuine and generous. They are a prime example of the American family.
