Last weekend was my boyfriend's birthday, and so we spent it camping at Fish River Falls in Fort Kent, ME. While it's a very easy place to get to with a short hike to the camp-sites, we had the whole place to ourselves. It's not a campground like you would find in one of the parks here in Maine - this one has no facilities. You just go, pitch your tent, and enjoy nature as it was meant to be enjoyed :)
The first night there was spent hanging out around the campfire and walking down along the rocks at the edge of the river to watch the falls. The next day, though, was spent swimming, jumping off mini-cliffs into the river, and enjoying the 80+ degree weather. Fish River Falls is a great pick if you are looking for a campground that is not busy and offers some privacy.
If you do choose to visit this place and camp out, bring ONLY what you need. While the hike is not really that long, it is downhill the whole way to the river and not a very even path. While you may not mind carrying anything heavy down to the river, you probably won't want to carry it back up hill! This is also a carry in/carry out camp-site. Please be considerate and keep the area clear of trash.
