Camping in Maine at Baxter State Park
Overview
Baxter State Park, a pristine wilderness in Maine, owes its existence to former governor Percival Baxter. He generously donated Katahdin and the surrounding land to the state, with the promise it would remain "forever wild." This commitment has shaped the park into a sanctuary for wildlife and a breathtaking retreat for visitors.
The Park's Unique Appeal
Spanning 200,000 acres, Baxter State Park offers an unparalleled remote camping experience. It features ten campgrounds, with two accessible only by hiking in, providing a rewarding solitude. If you're visiting, consider spending a night at Chimney Pond or Russell Pond for a truly memorable wilderness experience.
Activities and Reservations
The park is ideal for camping, fishing, hiking, and climbing. However, it's essential to plan ahead by calling (207-723-5140) for reservations. The park operates on a first-come, first-served basis, and without a reservation, you might miss out. Hiking trails to the summit are long and steep, so prepare accordingly with the right gear.
Baxter State Park is open from May to October, offering 97 tent sites, 84 lean-tos, 4 bunkhouses, and 23 cabins across its ten campgrounds.
Hiking and Scenic Beauty
Chimney Pond Campground serves as a perfect base for those aiming to summit Katahdin. Choose from the Saddle Trail, Cathedral Trail, or Dudley Trail, but be prepared for steep and challenging hikes.
Planning Your Visit
Due to its popularity, Baxter has a limited number of campsites. Making a reservation is crucial to avoid disappointment. If sites are full, several nearby private campgrounds offer alternative options.
Embrace the raw beauty and adventure of Baxter State Park while enjoying the serenity of untouched nature.
