Avintaquin Campground

Stayed here at Avintaquin Campground site 4, area was okay we just had a slight slope but can’t complain when it’s a $5 site the upside to site 4 there’s two perfect trees for a hammock! So bring one if you have one this was a good trip over the weekend. It was a nice trip we didn’t do much but kick back and enjoy the outdoors it was very peaceful very spacious away from other campers (Covid-19 precautions) we managed to see a few deer and oddly enough they don’t spook easy it’s almost like we had a pet deer for the weekend. Oh and it was a very cheap price $5/night not bad! So be sure to bring your own WATER! Because there’s none in this location.

Hidden gem! The sites sit on a plateau of sorts, with great mountain views. Trees are plentiful and offered plenty of shade. Wide variety of wildlife - within 25 ft of our camp we saw deer, cows (on the other side of the range fence), gophers, chipmunks, hummingbirds, and even a hawk. Bring plenty of water, as there is none at the campground. In early August, we had pleasant temps: high 70s/low 80s during the day, high 50s/low 60s at night. Good escape from the heat! A few loud neighbors - be courteous and control your volume, as it easily travels several sites outward. I'd highly recommend this campground!

The only downside is the proximity to rangeland - cows are present. The fence is/was down as there were cow pies scattered throughout the entire campground. The only thing keeping this site from being five stars is this... I would have expected them to have been cleared to a degree as they aren't exactly subtle. You'll hear cows mooing (bellowing?) throughout the day, and perhaps see a few pass by if your campsite is near the range fence.

We stayed with reservations over 4th weekend. Great temperatures, campground full over weekend but on Monday we were the only ones there. Us and cows that is, which are in campground as fence is down in multiple places. Cow poop and bellowing.
