4 nights at Private Waterfront Cabin/Campsites

Having camped since the 90s, I can confidently say Leketa’s campground in the Maine woods is the best I’ve ever experienced. My family and I had an amazing time, and so much of that is thanks to Leketa herself. She’s not just the owner; she’s a hard worker with an outstanding vibe and energy, who has poured her heart into creating this incredible place. You can truly feel her dedication and the unique energy she brings, making you feel deeply connected to the Maine woods. The campground offers private sites near Douglas Pond with endless water access, and I’ve never caught so many fish in my life! This peaceful, wildlife-filled sanctuary is masterfully managed by Leketa, an truly awesome woman. We felt incredibly safe and connected with nature, and I’ll be returning as much as I can.

The camping experience went above and beyond with a host like LEKETA. Provided a wonderful cabin stocked with everything we needed to cook and the outpost had everything we needed for campfires. My wife and I can't wait to go again!

Weekend Trip to Earth Paradise Eco-Retreat

I highly recommend staying on Donanne's land in one of her yurts! It was the perfect off-the-grid getaway from the city I was seeking. Donanne is a lovely host who recommended an idyllic nearby pond for swimming, picked fresh snap peas for me to take home, and let me play with her pack of adorable dogs. I appreciated the comfort of the yurt combined with a true camping experience, complete with everything I needed for my stay. I'm looking forward to my next opportunity to visit!

2 nights at Ironside Farm

Weekend Trip to Slippery Rock Trails LLC

The site quickly became one of our favorite spots. We loved the seclusion, the sights, the access to the water, and the vast amount of hikeable land. It has everything you’d want and plenty of space to set up in luxury. The hosts are friendly, easy-going, and accommodating.

Weekend Trip to Earth Paradise Eco-Retreat

Donanne was a wonderful and accommodating host. We got upgraded to the yurt due to scheduling reasons which is right next to a stream with little swimming holes. Sadly we our time coincided with a a cold rain storm so we did not get to venture out and explore the area very much. Overall highlight was staying warm by the private firepit when the rain had subsided

Weekend Trip to Earth Paradise Eco-Retreat

I really enjoyed the stay. We walked to a nearby waterfall that the Donanne recommended and it couldn’t have been more perfect. Would absolutely come again.

Weekend Trip to Slippery Rock Trails LLC

This is a magical place full of places to explore. We hiked, canoed, relaxed, and took in the calm and the natural wonderland. John and his family are wonderful and very helpful. The tiny house was a perfect fit for our one rainy day - our kids especially loved the little loft area to play and sleep. We will be back!

Weekend Trip to Pleasant river campground

We are so happy we found this little piece of heaven! So clean ,quiet and peaceful .

2 nights at Slippery Rock Trails LLC

This is the best camp!!! The view of wild flower fields and the river takes our breath away no matter how many times we have seen it! We can’t thank John and his family enough for persevering and caring for this land and allowing us to enjoy it!!! :)))

3 nights at 🌲 40 Acres Of Riverfront Serenity

Wow, this is an amazing piece of paradise in Maine!! The river was refreshing, clean, and stunningly beautiful. We had the best of both worlds being in the woods and near water. My dog enjoyed being able to roam around off leash while I relaxed in the river. The location is perfect, close to a grocery store and gas station, Farmington had a wonderful downtown area with shops and restaurants, and also close to Rangely! The camp host, Kyle, was very responsive and welcoming. One day it was almost 100° and some kids made their way up the river, crawling on the rocks to float down on their tubes. Next time, Im bringing a tube! Thank you for allowing other people to enjoy this site!!

2 nights at Waters Edge @ Eweturnfarm

Waters Edge is peaceful, private, and had nearly everything we needed for a perfect getaway. The site is beautifully tucked away by the riverside, and we were lucky enough to spot a deer, a beaver, chipmunks, turtles, an eagle, and more wildlife during our stay. Our Merlin app even picked up nearly a dozen different bird calls! The tent is cozy and bedding nice and clean. We enjoyed campfires under the stars, made great use of the BBQ grill, and spent plenty of time fishing and kayaking on the calm water. The hosts are wonderful and clearly put a lot of care into making the site special. This was our 3rd stay at Waters Edge and we are already looking forward to the next!

2 nights at Slippery Rock Trails LLC

Beautiful acres of land along the river - beautiful views. All sites very private and spaces far apart with your own porta potty. Loved soaking in the shallows on a floatie, drink in hand. Beautiful breeze off river even when temps went over 100. We got to see hundreds of fireflies floating in the meadows beyond the trees. On arrival, you get a personal welcome from the host and a map of their land, including hiking trails and oral history of the land. You can rent a canoe if you want. Picnic table and firepit on each tent site.

2 nights at Slippery Rock Trails LLC

We had a lovely time camping here! The property is gorgeous with riverfront tent sites and easy access to the river at all three sites with a beautiful field behind. It was a big plus having individual porta potties at each site. John was very welcoming and informative, providing a map of the land and hiking trails. Kayaking the river was beautiful and the loons lull you to sleep at night!

2 nights at Toad Hill

Beautiful and secluded spot! Lots of privacy with no concern of running into other campers. Perfect for some good rest on a bed post-backing (or any time, really!)

2 nights at Slippery Rock Trails LLC

Hospitable as can be! Our 3rd time here. Always a pleasure.

Camp Streife

1 site · Tent17 acres · Rumford, ME

Streife translated from Norwegian means roam. The right to roam, also called the right of access, or everyman's right(“allemannsretten”) is a traditional right from ancient times, and since 1957 has also been a part of the Norwegian Outdoor Recreation Act. It ensures that everybody gets to experience nature, even on larger privately owned areas. In our travels to Norway, we learned of this law and loved the concept so much we brought it back with us to America. Yet we had no land to offer. So, we searched...and searched....and searched some more. Then we found what would become camp Streife. 20 acres of uncut timber growth forest, tucked in the hills of Rumford Maine. With a nearby brook, pond and within 20 minutes of some of our favorite ski locations it was just right. The rules of this law are simple. Be considerate and thoughtful. Don't damage nature and other surroundings. Leave the landscape as you would want to find it. Leave no trace. You may put up a tent, or sleep under the stars, for the night anywhere in the countryside, forests or mountains, as long as you keep at least 500 feet away from the nearest inhabited house or cabin. This rule of 500 feet distance also applies to camping cars and caravans. If you want to stay for more than two nights in the same place, you must ask the landowner's permission, except in the mountains or very remote areas. Well, we've taken care of all those Allemannsretten rules for you. We invite you to our small part of the world and encourage you to exercise your right to roam. Learn more about this land: Situated on 20 acres in the Woods of Rumford, ME come enjoy a forested campsite with access to nearby stream and pond. Fish, kayak, snowshoe, hike or just relax. 20 minutes from Sunday River Ski area, 25 Minutes from Black Mtn. Ski area and even closer to Rumford's White Cap Mtn. for nice backcountry ski lines.

When to go

The best time to visit Mount Blue State Park is during the summer and fall when the weather is warm and the foliage is vibrant. Winter offers a snowy wonderland for cross-country skiing and ice skating. Spring can be muddy and is the least ideal time for a visit.
