This location has the potential to be a really quality campground. Location needs more signage to direct visitors to campsites. Also, until there are private individuals selling firewood outside, the park should consider making camp firewood available.

Excellent place. Great campsites. Make sure you bring a donut tire or great tires because the roads are rocky and rough. I got a flat.

Bear boxes are provided, small incline up path to site 4, wide enough for a small cart, site 5 too close to site 4 ( feels too close for a wilderness experience). Noisy in the morning with workers using power tools. It was very Buggy, of course!

My two friends and I had a magic trip to Katahdin Woods and Waters Haskell and Big Spring Brook Huts. The huts are incredibly well equipped, charming, and cozy. Pots pans cooking utensils and wood burning stove were all available as well as chopped wood. Even the pit toilets were charming. I would highly recommend these huts. They are similar to an AMC style self service hut, but a fraction of the hut. Also such a gorgeous area, especially between Haskell and Big Spring.
