Spacious Skies Balsam Woods is a hidden paradise of a campground located right in the heart of Maine, just a half hour south of Moosehead Lake, the largest lake in Maine, and 60 miles as the crow flies from the northern terminus of the Appalachian Trail, Mt. Katahdin, in Baxter State Park. We offer both wooded and open sites that can accommodate most rigs. Each site includes a picnic table, fire ring, water, 30 or 50-amp electrical service, and most offer sewer. Groups and tent campers are welcome. Balsam Woods campground is less than a minute’s drive from Piper Pond, a 2-mile-long lake with public boat launch and beach access. Onsite, we have a camp store and snack bar stocked with necessities, treats, and goodies for the whole family. There is no shortage of fun activities with our heated pool, classic rec hall, playground, a new jumping pillow, and gem mining! We have three cozy rustic cabins as well as three deluxe cabins for those wanting to experience the beauty of the great outdoors but who may not be ready for the tenter or RV life!

Weekend Trip to Lakefront Camping & RV - MAINE

We had a bit of trouble finding the campsite but Jason was very responsive via phone and gave me step by step directions! Once we got there it was a great spot! Our boys spent all day out on kayaks catching mostly bass but some sun fish too! Definitely going to be making another trip back before summer is over!

Weekend Trip to Gardiner Farms RV Site

Mikes land was awesome! Nice big yard, fire pit, reasonably priced firewood, plenty of space. Although somewhat close to the road, it was quiet. The little garage on the property had some roof for storage that we were able to use for our motorcycles! It was awesome! We weren’t expecting that perk. Easy to pull in and out (essentially a pull through site). Lots of walking to do around the potato fields. Will absolutely be back!

Screened in gazebo where I enjoyed some reading time.

Great location to rest and enjoy nature. I would definitely stay at this Hipcamp location again. Sharon and John were both very welcoming. My stay was over the Fourth of July holiday. They included me in their family activities and made me feel right at home. I also enjoyed petting Sharon’s horses.

We had an amazing stay here. The farm is beautiful, the owners were incredibly welcoming and gave us amazing tips about the area. It's a very easy site to set up in, we pulled right up with no hassle. Our rig is 38ft and it fit great. We would love to stay here again!

Weekend Trip to Spacious Skies Balsam Woods

It was a cute rustic cabin. We had everything needed for camping with our dogs. Unfortunately, the heater wasn’t working and we got super cold at night as we didn’t expect the drastic temperature drop. Overall - nice place with super clean bath house and very pleasant staff! Our fur babies loved it
