Four Zones, One Wilderness

North Maine Woods spans four distinct management zones, each with its own rules, fees, and character — including Baxter State Park, home to Mt. Katahdin.

About North Maine Woods

North Maine Woods is the largest recreation area east of the Mississippi — 3.5 million acres of privately owned commercial forestland spanning Aroostook and Piscataquis counties in northern Maine, including Baxter State Park, Maine's premier wilderness preserve centered on Mt. Katahdin.

Browse 211 NMW campsites, 62 KI Jo-Mary Forest campsites near Gulf Hagas and the Appalachian Trail, 84 water-access Allagash Wilderness Waterway campsites along the 92-mile National Wild & Scenic River, and ~45 Baxter State Park campgrounds and backcountry sites around Mt. Katahdin.

Whether you're planning a brook trout fishing trip, a fall moose hunt, an Allagash canoe expedition, or your first overnight in the Maine backcountry, NMWMap helps you find the perfect campsite.
