Nesowadnehunk Field Campground

"We had a magical time! Un-touched wilderness. Loved the hike to Rocky Pond."

"Relaxing location; very friendly rangers. One hour drive down a dirt/gravel road to get to the campground. No showers/toilets (outhouse only). Excellent place to stay if you want to hike Doubletop Mtn."

"Love Nesowadnehunk Field Campground! First time there stayed in the cabin with my sister-in-law & second time stayed in lean-to #9 by myself, my first time in a lean-to & first camping trip alone (my sister-in-law was supposed to be there with me but due to a torn meniscus could not make this trip). Very peaceful each time & beautiful starry skies each trip. At the cabin we had a visitor, a little bunny rabbit! The Ranger was extremely informative & very nice & pleasant & remembered me on my second trip there! I look forward to next year when my sister-in-law & I book our 3rd trip there & hopefully this time get to finally hike Doubletop Mountain & possibly a few other mountains in the vicinity of Nesowadnehunk Field Campground, like North Brother and South Brother, Mt. Coe, & Oji. Nesowadnehunk is close to The Ledges also & that is an awesome place to cool off after a long day hiking or to spend the day there swimming, sliding, sunbathing, or just people watching! This Campground definitely has a lot to offer & will always hold a special spot for me for many different reasons. Hope to bring some of my grandchildren there someday. ❤"

"A lean-to in a field in Baxter State Park. An exceptional mountain trail, Doubletop Mt. And a short drive to a great swimming hole, Ledge falls. There is a lot to like about this place and not much to dislike. All the rangers are nice, too."

"Where to even start with this place? Nesowadnehunk Field is magical. This is my favorite place in Maine and one of my favorite campsites of all time. The lean-to shelters are secluded in the woods, yet open enough to provide amazing stargazing opportunities (try to time your trip around a new moon). The outhouses are clean and a short walk away through the field. At night, you could hear a few animals rustling through the woods nearby and around the lean-to. There are also so many good trail heads within reach of this campground - including Doubletop, which was also my favorite hike in the park (We couldn't hike Katahdin due to capacity restrictions, but I don't regret it). My only regret is not having more time in this beautiful campground, the best in Baxter!"
