When you ask a Maine local and someone from out of state what camping is, you’ll get quite variant answers. While campgrounds in Southern Maine are fun places to meet fellow campers while staying close to coastal towns, any Mainer will tell you it’s not real camping til you go North. Maine’s Kennebec River region is where you can have a real camping experience satiating your adventurous outdoorsy side.
A white water rafting adventure is one of the most exciting outdoor vacations that Maine has to offer. Campgrounds in the Kennebec River region are often rafting outfitters offering group rafting tours, as well as river equipment, kayak or funyak rentals as well as transportation. Most campground resorts also have ATV and snowmobile tours and rentals in winter, some even have moose safaris as an added incentive to get the most out of the outdoors.
Campers can set up a tent on their campsite or rent a cabin, and escape into the wilderness for hiking, rock climbing or fishing. Many campgrounds on the Kennebec and Moose River region, in Bingham and the Forks, are resort-like with recreation centers, game rooms, onsite restaurants, swimming, and pubs to round out a camping trip in Maine’s backwoods while retaining signs of civilization.
