Easy to find! Lots of choices as to where you can park. If you stay up high the mountain views are spectacular or chose a spot near the picnic table and have total privacy. Trails are numerous. Really enjoyed chatting with Chris and swapping stories.

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.

Weekend Trip to RV/Tent Sites-Gateway NMW-Ashland

We had an amazing stay here. We were met by the owner as we pulled up and he gave us a tour and let us set up wherever it suited us. He was generous with his time and helped us as we were motorcycle camping and needed to repair a bent rim. He also owns the general store next store which is very well stocked.
