This secluded, 7 site campground is located on the edge of Crocker Pond under a towering white pine forest. Crocker Pond along with several other nearby fishing ponds have boat launches for non-motorized boats. Drinking water is currently not available. (08/31/2018) Situated south of Bethel, ME, off Rt. 5, this secluded campground sits above Crocker Pond. Although there are only 7 sites, all but one are accessible, and each offers a different level of challenge and setting. Along the gravel roadway there is a hand pump for water and accessible vault toilets. Access to the pond is very difficult at this site due to the steep and loose gravel-covered banking. Other nearby locations (Patte Marsh and Broken Bridge Pond) offer vary- ing levels of pond access for fishing and boating.
The campground is located by turning onto the Flat Road (across from the Post Office) from Route 2 in West Bethel, ME. Continue straight for 5.8 miles, where a sign will direct you down the .5 mile dirt road to the right.
Great 3rd visit.. Took the trail out beyond the pond to Round Pond. Came back to the parking lot and then went off trail to visit the cave.
