Aroostook County is a Camper’s Paradise

Roasted marshmallows, roaring campfires, the refreshing scent of pine lingering in the air—Aroostook County is a camper’s paradise! Whether it’s pitching a tent, renting a cabin, or sleeping under the stars, the state’s northernmost region offers something for everyone. Choose a picture-perfect site along a babbling brook, in a pristine state park, or visit one of the thousands of private campsites awaiting your arrival in the North Maine Woods and beyond.

Camp out while enjoying the Houlton State Fair in July or Acadian Festival in the heart of Madawaska in the weather-perfect month of August. There’s also no reason to travel while planning a trout or salmon fishing trip to one of Island Fall’s four lakes (Upper Mattawamkeag Lake, Mattawamkeag Lake, Caribou Lake, and Pleasant Lake) or along Long Lake in Van Buren.
