An authentic camping experience that has something for everyone! Tent sites nestled in nature, spacious spots for RVs of any size and clean, cozy cabins.

We are located in the town of Byron in western Maine's Lakes and Mountain Region where cell coverage is sparse and relaxation is abundant. Disconnecting is part of an authentic camping experience.

This was the best campground we have stayed at. It was so family friendly and quiet! The river was a short walk from our site and a blast to spend the day at. The bunkhouse was beautiful and clean! I would stay again in a heartbeat! The staff was super friendly and welcoming!
Our campsite was great. In hindsite after checking the lower camp area we'll stay there next time. Showers/ restrooms were clean and ,50 cent for 8 min shower was fair.
Beautiful campground. Excellent service by staff. Quiet, spacious, clean. Was here early in October. There is a fee for showers and laundry. Just so you know. But beautiful spot to be for the changing of the colors.
This is a quiet, clean, spacious campground. The location is beautiful with the canyon a short walk away.
One bit of information. There is internet at the office only and that worked for us.
If you're looking to get back to nature in a scenic location in Maine, this is the place.
We loved staying at Coos Canyon Campground and plan on returning next year with the rest of our family! Cassie, James and Bob were so helpful and considerate of our first trip in our new RV and our first time staying there. Even our Jack Russell loved it. Definitely a 10 rating.
