Only 20 minutes from the Appalachian Trail, Deer Farm Camps & Campground provides a welcoming home base from which to explore the local countryside. Those who prefer boating, fishing and swimming will enjoy beautiful Tuft’s Pond, one of the three mountain lakes within walking distance of your campsite.
Flagstaff Lake and the Bigelow Preserve also offer primitive camping sites on a first come first serve basis, although some may require campfire permits. Please see Maine’s High Peaks Hiking Map and The Valley Below Map for remote camping site locations and which sites require fire permits. Campfire permits may be obtained at the Maine Forest Service: 207-624-3700. These primitive campsites fill up quickly during the peak summer season, so don’t show up too late to claim your spot.
