Katahdin Woods & Waters National Monument Camping

Lovely spot, friendly staff

Lots of room for more front country campsites where each is dispersed. Need water hand pump. The trails were nice. Road was terrible for a small camper van. Too slow travel (lots of sharp rocks on road to reach campsites and trailheads.) Would have stayed longer to climb mtn Trails but road travel was too slow. Great overlook view of Katahdin but so underused. Timberframe outhouse was amazing. No other new construction in progress. Hopefully park will allow more for folks to enjoy that beautiful area.

Perfect camping except for the rain. Clean very clean !! Also a big shout out to Ranger Ann for her kindness and information!!

I hope KWW stays 'as is' with its lack of development. The 'wildness' is perfect! The only recommendation I have is with the existing signage. Without the Monument map, knowing where to turn or which road to take would have been very difficult and rely only on good guesses.

A perfect place to unplug and relax. The ranger we talked to was incredibly helpful and friendly. The contact station was amazing. I hope to come back soon!

My fault that I was not prepared to carry my gear so far to my campsite, but other than that, it was amazing. Much of the time I was the only person in the campground. No cell phone, no electricity, just the way I like it.

Outstanding experience. Caught the biggest fish of my career in the river during my stay

We booked a campsite at the halfway point of our 10 hour drive back to Canada. We drove 5 hours to Katahdin, calling the listed contact number multiple times on the way there to let them know we would be arriving late and to make sure we would be able to find our campsite. No one answered. By the time we arrived it was dark. I am familiar with back country roads but this took it to another level. There were about a million signs about yielding to logging trucks, and 2-3 signs from the actual park directing us extremely vaguely where to go. By the time we were an hour and a half into delicately making our way down the logging roads , not knowing if we were going the right way we were so stressed out and frustrated with the poor signage that we couldn’t imagine the park had anything good to offer so we ended our trip early and just decided to drive straight through the night back to Canada. This was the most poorly run campground I’ve ever been to and I’ve stayed at many. Do not visit.

The contact station is amazing, really the highlight! And the night sky- so many stars!
The roads are in such bad shape that driving anywhere was stressful, especially as one occasionally meets a truck and there are spots 2 vehicles cannot pass. A deterrent for us to return.
Loved the views of Katahdin from the lookout and from Barnard Mtn. Like the trail to Deasey Pond.
Our Lunksoos campsite was well cared-for and easy to walk in to.

Wonderful camp spot. Sunny but that was fine with me. Peaceful and beautiful. Some of the time there was no one else there.
