Big Moose Inn Cabins & Campground

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. Located on Millinocket Lake, Big Moose is the closest full service accommodations to Baxter State Park.

85 acres of woodlands, fields, and wetlands located in the shadow of Mount Katahdin, and conveniently just 2 miles off Route 95, along the Katahdin Woods and Waters Scenic Byway. We call our special spot Siberia Crossing, a nod to the workers who laid the Bangor and Aroostook RR tracks in the late 1800s, and dubbed the place "colder than Siberia!" Go for a paddle in a small bog adjacent to our property (kayaks provided) and look for beavers and moose, take a leisurely stroll through the forest, get out your binoculars and Merlin App and see what you can find for birds, or just sit on the deck and enjoy the stunning sunsets over the entire Katahdin Range. And another thing - the STARS! You can either take in the nationally acclaimed dark skies right from the tent deck, or grab a blanket and head down to the field where you will be rewarded with 360-degree dark sky views! And don't pass up the regional foliage season, which is always spectacular with amazing foliage views both on the property and over Katahdin in the Fall. This private gated property is within close proximity to numerous outdoor recreational opportunities and hundreds of thousands of acres of conserved lands, including Baxter State Park, Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument, and Penobscot River Trails. Whether you enjoy hiking, biking, kayaking, canoeing, birding, hunting, fishing, trail riding or simply relaxing in the great Maine outdoors, you are sure to find our property a suitable basecamp for your North Woods adventures.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Perfect place for couples, families, or friends to come together in a quiet and private camp on beautiful river spot. The fire pit with cook top were amazing and wood provided was more than enough for the cool October nights and mornings. The camp is impeccable kept up, the bathroom is cleanest and neatest we have seen yet and we even got a magnet. Very thoughtful! Kyle’s metal work and brothers engraving can be seen throughout the campground giving it the touches it needs to set it above the rest. We booked our next visit on our ride home. We cannot wait to return to watch the eagles frolic and looking to catch their next meal in the river. Kyle is very responsive to messages and directions were easy to follow.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Be prepared for sometimes-rough Maine logging roads -- slow and careful driving. The amazing new "Contact Station" was closed due to the shutdown, but the Center and the lovely perfectly graded road to it was a taste of what's to come as the NPS and its partners develop this National Monument. For those unfamiliar with Maine, this will feel like a true wilderness experience.

Visitors to Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument should start with Tekαkαpimək Contact Station if possible (check hours at NPS.gov/KAWW). It's an amazing spot, plus the rangers can help get you oriented and decide what your next stop will be. There are no high peaks in this park, but plenty of hikes and paddling options for all ages. The best features are what is missing - noise pollution, light pollution, and traffic! Plan to take your time on the dirt roads and enjoy being immersed in nature.
