Beautiful place. We camp here every summer. We love it. Lots of fishing, hiking and swimming.

Can we rate it a 12? Amazing. So much wildlife (most sightings were by ponds), lovely group campgrounds, and the mountains! I even like that all trash must be carried out. Every trail is super well signposted, rangers all over and friendly.

We just stopped by to view this area and I'm so happy we did. It was $15 to go through the gates and it was worth it even for the sliver of time we had carved out for this. The rangers were extremely helpful. We walked a very short .8 mile (round trip) hike. We got to see some beautiful views and just missed the moose in the pond. I would like to come back when we are more prepared and have more time.

Park was out of this world beautiful. I didn't like how the park entrance attendant made you plan out your whole trip telling you exactly where you can and can't park rather than letting me explore and stop at open parking spaces along the way. I was totally unprepared for that and was expecting it to be like any other park so I didn't do research like I guess I needed to, regardless the park ranger told me where he wanted me to park and the views were not disappointing only wish I had more time to explore.

Some of the camping shuts down October 15th or 22nd (depending on the camp), some camping is allowed year round and the park is open all year.
There's a nonresident vehicle entry fee ($8/day) and fees for campsites/bunkhouse/cabin rentals if applicable.
You can stay only in the campground overnight and parking is included in your overnight stay.
When I visited the park, a Ranger gave me a price list. Don't quote me I could be of a few dollars. A small for 2 is the least expansive and whenever you add additional people the Cabbin acomadate more and are larger, go up to around 6. Monertary units required, small around $50 and increases incrementally per larger accommodations to over $100. When you divide the biggest ones by 6 people it's a fantastic affordable amount. Mr. P.😎
Yes
No it doesn't
No its federal government land so federal fha rules apply.
Its not a National Park its a State park. There are no frills other than mother nature. No electricity no generators allowed. But it is one of the most beautiful palaces in maine
You can't put any tents in the lean too. I recommend therma cells with screen material across the front of the lean to
Campgrounds in the sense of pulling a trailer hookups etc.. no. No dump stations either. You may get away with a small teardrop or pop up, but anything bigger may not be able to traverse the narrow dirt road. Stick with a tent or rent a lean-to. There is limited water available also.
Baxter Park is under a legal requirement to keep the park lands & wildlife in it’s “ natural surroundings “ . . . therefore park officials try to limit the amount of daily visitors, over night campers to a certain amount of people . I don’t know that specific number? You may contact BSP and ask them if space is available for certain days , if available obtain a park pass. This reserves your spot ! Enjoy😎
There is kayak and canoe rentals in daicey pond campground...for a day visit. Although it is $1 they encourage you to pay in the donation box after you are done with kayaking. You are supposed to put all the equipments back as it is after the use. The
Absolutely! Good luck to the folks carrying that canoe. It will be hard work but totally worth it.
Kidney and daicy pond maybe? Great views but nothing is paved
Right, the second half of May. Probably you will get snow here, like I have got on May th and 21st at Adams and after that at Mt.Washington.
There are definitely campgrounds; you'd have to look on the website to know of it is accessible to RVs
I'm not positive here, but I'm sure they would appreciate at least 24 hour notice, and if you are able to notify them ASAP as there is always someone who would take the slot.
The “viewing season” is considered to be from September through March,....only because of the extended hours of darkness that make the Northern Lights easier to see. They can happen at any time, day or night. But, bring a camera... because, the camera sees color that the human eye doesn't always catch.
There is a mix of fall weather in October... But, mostly mild days (50 to 80 degrees) and some chilly nights that average 40 to 60 degrees... unless we get an early...lol.
And park rules also state that a flashlight is required.
Only service animals are allowed into the park, anywhere.
Chimney Pond has a common site for hanging supplies.
Unfortunately most of the roads are dirt. All dirt roads have bone materials commonly called stones, some are sharp. Sounds like you have tar Booneing Tires not Mud and snow winter heavy tread Tires meant for off road and dirt roads. If that's the case you need to be extra careful watching for road hazards, you can see most of the sharps in the road doing moderate slow travel. I was on Talos Road and saw, avoided a sharp triangle rock, 6 Inches tall. A hazard like that could cripple a Logging Truck or an Elephant if not avoid. It doesn't happen to people who know of the hazards and drive reasonable and prudent. Enjoy the rest of your time in the area, it's beautiful there now colorful buds are starting to appear. Watch out for pink surveyor's tape in the trees. The more the tales of tape the worst the road hazard is. I learnt the hard way, lunched 3 feet into the air all 4 wheels. Doing speed limit too. Just concentrate on the road and try to avoid vacation killers. Mr. P. 😂😎
I can confidently say, taking the park in a few days ago, Ranger Rick, and Ricket, told me that there is only one entrance to the park for public access. Entrance is on the south. From Millenocket take a right on to Bates St. Thence always stay straight. Road changes to Millenocket Rd. Thence, Milenockit Lake Rd. Take right at fork to park entrance. Do not take Golden Rd. If you take Golden Rd, dirt, if you do, will need to get back on to Millenocket Lake Rd. Mr. P. Says, Have fun, awesome place to visit. Expect an entrance fee and registration package to fill out in the name of safety, yours. Scenic Route, 159 south, 11 south. Take you directly into Main street Milenockit. Bates Rd other end of Main Street. Well posted in that area. Good luck and engoy.😁😁😎🎯✔🍒 PS best place for fuel, Kataden General Store, left side before undepassing Train Tracks. After that, Fuel is limited out there.
Could be 45 minutes or more
Yes you can.
Everywhere the park has a huge network of roads with turnouts for parking
911 otherwise YOYO and should be prepared for emergencies before you set out.
You would need to park RVs outside the park. The park does offer tent sites, as well as lean-tos, with an outhouse experience.
Parking depends on where you want to hike. Costs, are $15 for non-Maine residents.
No pets in the park. Outside the park, there are some pet friendly areas.
Always be there at opening time if you dont have a reservation. There's always a line and they give out remaining spots first come first serve. Only $5 to reserve a spot so that's your best bet especially with limited trails open.
Still closed at the tote road 18 inches of snow after this rain who knows.
The summer csmping season is generally from May 15 until October 25. But check with BSP Headquarters before you go.
Reserve early, prepare/research, pack smartly for the hike, register in and out, be safe and enjoy! I'm sure it will be a great time.
No way!
Get a campsite sooner and u get to park there the day after.
All Katahdin trails closed over a week ago. Tote road is also closed. Winter rules begin Dec. 1st.
They don't plow in the winter the access road for the park becomes a snowmobile trail But the park itself is open to the public year round ....
