Wilderness Edge Campground

We stayed a couple of nights in order to visit the Katahdin area and found the campground to be not real big rig-friendly. Our site required parallel parking to get into it which was doable. The problem is that other large trailers that don’t really fit into their sites have been told that it’s fine to block the road. This makes getting in/ out of your site very difficult. Also, the interior roads are not one-way, so you run the risk of encountering a rig going the other way at checkout time with absolutely no room to pass.

I was humiliated by the woman running the show on my visit last summer. I was not going to write a review, but after reading the last one, I felt that people should know that this poor treatment has been repeated. I made the terrible mistake of going down the wrong road to find my campsite. She came tearing down the narrow road after me in her truck to berate me for several minutes for not checking in first. This was my first experience at a campground in Maine, and I was used to other places where I would go to the site first, then return to the office to complete the check-in procedure. In a mean and condescending tone, she instructed me to return to the office to check in. She continued in this manner throughout the process, marking X's on the map and saying "No! No! No!" at the road where I turned and should not have done so, while showing me where my site was. I would have left but I had nowhere else to go and I had already paid for two nights. I made a mistake that should have been forgivable, but she treated me like I had ruined her day and that I was a horrible person. There are negative reviews for this place on other sites, but I opted to give it a chance. That was my first mistake.
A good option in the area is Pine Grove Campground and Cottages in Medway. It's close to Katahdin Woods and Waters NM and is a simple, peaceful site on the river. The people were kind and helpful and I had a very nice experience on two different visits during the week.

We've never experienced a campground like this before.

We worked for 45 minutes to try and level our class c, but it just wasn't happening. Our site was un-level side to side, and front-to-back. Our front tires were hanging 18" off the ground.

We approached the front to see if they had any other spots available.

The lady was friendly, but her husband was not.

He proceeded to argue with us, saying that in 9 years he's never had anyone not be able to get level, and that our spot was the most level spot in the campground. Again, our front tires were 18" off the ground.

He then told me "you're doing something wrong."

At this point I realized there was no point in even continuing the discussion. We walked away, spent the weekend, then left and lost out on the rest of the week.

I would advise not coming here. Our family did not feel safe, compounded by the fact that (and other Google reviews verify this) the owners and at least one group of people here were all carrying handguns.

Our stay with Wilderness Edge was very peaceful. Our site was good sized, and they didn’t need the road it was on to have access from the other direction so we were able to use the road as part of the site too. With that it felt huge! Camp hosts and employees were very friendly. The grounds were well kept and clean.

There was only one washer/dryer in the laundry room so we ended up going to town for laundry.

There’s plenty to do in the surrounding area with Mt Katahdin near by. We’d definitely stay here again.

Used PA for a 50% discount (2 day min, 3 day max) but worth the full price. Easy access to BSP and Golden Road. Cell service said US Cellular but my TMobile data was rocking and data roaming was turned off. (go figure)
RVs on one side with w/e. There was a different section for tents and small campers.
Too cold to use the pool but looked well maintained.
Marcel and other staff were very friendly.

This campground was perfect for us! We were looking for a quiet place to stay that wasn't too far from Baxter State Park and other hiking destinations. The campground is located right off the main road and close many attractions. The owners and staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful. We stayed in site 11 and the water and electric hook-ups were too far away for our power cord to reach. However, we were able to borrow one from the camp office with a refundable deposit. The campground also offers a dog walking service which we took advantage of and a shuttle service to and from Baxter. Their shuttle service prices are comparable to others in the area and was very helpful for us as our truck was too wide to enter the State park. This is an incredibly dog friendly campground and Wendi was great with our pup! The bathrooms were also spotless which was a huge plus. Overall, we really enjoyed this place and would definitely recommend it to others!

Campground with decent private and good size sites. Close to town but in the woods. Only 15 minutes from Baxter. State park . Beautiful area pristine lakes and rivers . Great fishing on the west branch. White water rafting. Atv trails. Hundreds of logging roads to explore. Canoeing kayaking, scenic sea plane rides. Abundance of wildlife particularly moose.

We were here in mid-September, and found this a good place to access Baxter State Park. We loved the location of our site overlooking the woods, but the electric and water were positioned on the wrong side. It was a bit frustrating to maneuver the trailer into place. The have a small store, and the restrooms were clean. The campground is conveniently located on the road to Baxter State Park (entry is 30 minutes away), but the internal roads were in rough shape. There was some road noise, but not enough to bother sleeping.
