Steve and Chris's campsite offers a serene escape into nature, with breathtaking views and a peaceful atmosphere. Although the journey involves navigating a bumpy dirt road, the effort is rewarded with a stunning lakeside location perfect for unplugging from daily life. Visitors appreciate the clean facilities, abundant firewood, and the chance to see local wildlife such as loons and moose. However, be prepared for the adventure of reaching this off-grid spot, as cell reception is limited and the drive can be challenging.

Nice little spot

Tent

Steve and Chris’s yard was a great spot to stay, it’s close enough to get back to small towns but far enough for some seclusion (although 2 hr is just a quick drive in my mind) we loved exploring the north maine woods and coming back to a private site where the dog could swim and we could sit back and watch the sunset.

Peaceful and unplugged

17 ft campervan

Absolutely a slice of heaven, and trust me, the view and peaceful setting is WELL worth it once you get there!! But bring your patience, and a spare tire for the dirt road you pay for (more so if you’re hauling a camper) to reach serenity. We traveled 8 hours to experience the beauty Chris & Steve are so happy to share with everyone! They weren’t kidding when they say driving too fast on the dirt road can result in a flat:(. The Golden Rd kicked our camper’s butt, but in the end, we still won!! ;) Thankfully we knew how to change it, and every person who saw us pulled over made sure we were ok. Once we arrived, we couldn’t get over the breathtaking view of the Mountains, especially Katahdin, one of our favorites!! We didn’t even have to get out of our camper to watch sunrise, it was magic!! Breakfast sure did taste better with the sun rising over the mountains…Ahhh…. We took full advantage of the fire pit with the well-seasoned wood provided every day, and as the week went on, finally decided to take the kayaks they also so generously provide, for a spin on the lake. The water temperature was unexpectedly warm (Aug4-9) and we went in multiple times a day. The bathroom was one of the cleanest ones we’ve been in, so that was a huge plus! It was such a treat to hear the loons. So awesome!! Also got to see a mama duck and her chicks on the beachfront. Absolutely adorable!!

Unplugged Lake Getaway

Tent · With pets

One of our best camping experiences. Amazing views, serene atmosphere & total nature submersion. Waking up and hearing the lake crashing slightly on the shore with distant loon calls, and sun rising over the distant mountains is such a treat. The lake smells clean and leaves you feeling fresh every time you leave. It’s a great unplugged getaway, just you & nature. Great spots around the area for exploring, fishing, paddle boarding and looking for wildlife. All around amazing. Plan to arrive in a bumpy-dirt-road appropriate vehicle.

Wow!!

15 ft campervan · With pets

Driving out to this campsite was an adventure! By chance, we actually drove by Steve and Chris on our way, who were so kind and double checked to make sure that we knew where we were going. The views were well worth it. It was one of those experiences where the pictures truly cannot capture how beautiful it is! Plenty of fire wood was provided and the restroom was incredibly clean. It was amazingly quiet and peaceful all weekend. We heard a few cars drive by throughout the day on Saturday, but it did not take away from how quiet it was. To our surprise, we only briefly saw two boats out on the water after a passing rain shower resulted in an amazing rainbow over the lake. Our only regret is not booking a longer stay!! Thank you, Steve and Chris, for sharing your beautiful property with us. It far exceeded our expectations and our two dogs were in heaven!!
