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.

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.

Private site, could just see the raspberry bushes ahead. Nice site for a fire, bring a good size grate if you don’t have a grill. They left wood, there was plenty of kindling nearby in the woods as well. The farm was beautiful, very nice folk. Would stay again!

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.

This property is very clean, well maintained and peaceful. There is easy access to numerous well marked ATV, snow mobile and hiking trails. The owners are super helpful and have thought of everything that will make the off grid camping experience a memorable one. Everyone in the surrounding area is friendly and willing to share their knowledge of the region. If you’re looking to spend a few quiet days away from it all, this is the camp to visit. I’ll be back again at my first opportunity!

Very quiet area & we never heard any other visitors or residents around us the entire stay. Expect rustic conditions, wildlife, & lots of shade. Very modern - running water from a mountain water well, lighting, propane stove & oven, a large kitchen counter, a kitchen table with four chairs, a super comfortable leather chair & ottoman, a jackknife sofa, a queen bed, & a set of bunk beds. There is also a very new wood burning stove with lots of wood. There is also a wall heater that is fueled by propane. Stocked with cutlery, service utensils, glasses, & mugs. Has a large Blackstone grill under cover. Chairs around the outside of the property. Owners supplied a large cooler. • Outdoor sink. Two large picnic tables. Typical outhouse, is very new & close to front door. State owned bathroom just a few minute drive. • Large outdoor shower with HOT water near front door. • All amenities very easy to use just follow the directions. • Mountain trails for hikes for every level of hiker with signs of wildlife. • Nearby - Produce stand called Arnold’s Farm Market nearby. • Fort Kent –Canadian Border Crossing & the Swamp Bucket restaurant. • Presque Isle - coffee shops & The Riverside Inn Restaurant. • Caribou – go to “Sleepers” for clothing & the bowling alley.

Both the river sites are lovely and private, especially the smaller of the two, which to access one had to pass by the larger. There was some earth-moving noise (excavators and dump trucks) early in the morning, but this seems to have just been bad timing on my part (planned work that I wasn’t aware of until I’d set up for the night). That said, it’s a lovely spot and a friendly and responsive host.
