Abol Campground

"Store sells you firewood knowing you can't bring it in the camp. Rangers tell you the store is a scam and make you throw it away even though you just bought it just down the road. Then the website says 4-6 people per site, but rangers insist website is wrong and make you buy another site for 5 people. None were available so after hiking all day, couldn't stay and had to drive 7 hours overnight to get back home and of course kept the money for the site already rented."

"Great place to camp. Great location. Driving distance to the Ledges where you can swim and picnic on the large area of smooth stone. I have tubed down the mild rapids into the large pool and below. Close to Katahdin Stream, or you can hike Katahdin right out of the campground. I got the last spot just before the trail to the falls on Abol Stream. Hung out there several times."

"The ranger at the campground was super cool and answered all our questions. Love that it's rustic with no water or electricity at the site and only tents or renting a lean to for the night. The waterfall trail from the campground was cute and short and the falls themselves were gorgeous."

"In the Baxter State Park is so many places with parking, outside tables and cabins. Abol is one of close to the Gate - check point (6 miles distance). If you would like stay outside you can reserved the cabin - $32.00 per night. Restroom and fireplace are near the cabin. I counted 12 cabins at this Campground."

"If you love hiking, make this a destination. Great campground for family and friends. Very clean and great people to help you out of you need anything at all. Mount katahdin is able to be seen from a decent amount of the campground. So many different trails and also swimming spots. You can find just about anything you would like to do within a short hike."
