RV Parks In Greenville, Maine

The standout is Lily Bay State Park, about nine miles north of town on the eastern shore of Moosehead Lake, with roughly 90 wooded, semi-private sites including 38 right on the water, plus a dump station, hot showers and a camp store, though no hookups. For full hookups, the private parks in and near Greenville are your options: Moosehead Family Campground offers full and partial hookup sites, and the newer Moose Creek RV Resort provides modern full-hookup sites and pull-throughs for bigger rigs. Choose the state park for lakefront scenery, or a private park for hookups and big-rig convenience.

It depends where you stay. Lily Bay State Park, the main public campground and the most scenic option, has no hookups at all; it offers drinking water, flush toilets, hot showers, a camp store and a dump station near the entrance, but you camp self-contained on your batteries and tanks. For full hookups with electric, water and sewer at the site, you need one of the private parks in the area, such as Moosehead Family Campground or Moose Creek RV Resort. If full hookups are a must, especially for a big rig or longer stay, book one of those private parks.

Lily Bay State Park is the value pick and the most scenic, with sites generally $25 to $40 a night, including the sought-after waterfront spots, plus a dump station and hot showers but no hookups. The private full-hookup parks run higher, commonly $40 to $70 a night, which buys 30/50-amp power, water and sewer at the site and pull-throughs at the newer resort. The state park wins on scenery and value if you can dry camp, while a private park earns its cost for hookups and big-rig access. Late spring and fall offer easier availability and sometimes lower rates than the short summer peak.

For summer and fall foliage, book months in advance, especially if you want one of the waterfront sites at Lily Bay State Park, which are limited and go almost immediately when the Maine State Parks reservation window opens. Summer weekends and the fall color season are the busiest, and moose-watching season adds demand. The private parks also fill for peak summer and should be booked well ahead. Lily Bay holds some first-come sites midweek and in the shoulder seasons, so if you are flexible and arrive early on a weekday in late spring or fall, you have a decent shot without a reservation.

Summer, from late June through August, is the prime season, with warm days, the full slate of lake activities, floatplane flights and the best chance to combine swimming and moose watching, though it is also the busiest. Early fall is a North Woods highlight, with brilliant foliage, crisp air, active moose and campgrounds open into mid-October. Late spring brings fierce black flies into June, so come prepared or wait. Winter is not a camping season here, as the campgrounds close and the region turns to deep snow and snowmobiling. For most RVers, midsummer and fall are ideal.

Yes, with the right choice. The private parks, especially the newer Moose Creek RV Resort, offer full-hookup pull-throughs that handle big motorhomes and long fifth-wheels, and ME-15, the paved route into Greenville, handles any rig. Lily Bay State Park has semi-private wooded sites of varied lengths, so check individual site details before booking if you run a big rig, as some are tight. Importantly, the logging roads beyond town in the North Maine Woods are gravel and not suitable for RVs, so keep a big rig on the paved routes and explore the backcountry by tow vehicle, boat or plane.

Yes, and it is the main reason to come. Lily Bay State Park, about nine miles north of Greenville, sits right on the eastern shore of Moosehead Lake, with 38 of its roughly 90 campsites located on the water at the Dunn Point and Rowell Cove areas. These lakefront sites are among the most prized in Maine, with swimming, boat launches and shoreline trails right at camp, though they have no hookups. They book up the moment reservations open for summer. If you cannot get a waterfront site, inland sites at the park and the private parks still put you minutes from the lake.

It is the classic one. Greenville is the gateway town to Moosehead Lake and the surrounding North Maine Woods, with the services, fuel, lodging and floatplane operators that make it the natural staging point for exploring the region. From here you can boat or fly to Mount Kineo, watch moose along the bogs, fish and paddle the lake, and access trails and the southern reaches of the Hundred-Mile Wilderness. It is remote, so it works best as a place to slow down for several days rather than a quick stop. For wilderness immersion with a town to resupply in, it is hard to beat.

Expect a cool North Woods climate with a short season. Summer days are pleasant, often in the mid-70s, with cool nights in the 50s, ideal for camping and lake activities. Fall is crisp and beautiful with cold nights and vivid foliage from late September into October. Spring is muddy and buggy, with intense black flies into June, and winter is long, snowy and cold, closing the campgrounds. The practical points are to pack layers and warm sleeping gear even in summer, bring serious bug protection in late spring and early summer, and plan around a roughly mid-May to mid-October window.

Lily Bay State Park has a dump station near its entrance, and the private full-hookup parks have sewer hookups and dumps on site. Greenville itself has basic services, including fuel, a grocery store and the essentials, but it is a small remote town, so for major shopping, propane and RV supplies you are better off resupplying in Bangor, about 70 miles southeast, or Dover-Foxcroft on the way in. The smart approach in the North Woods is to arrive with full fuel, propane and fresh water and a stocked pantry, because services thin out quickly once you leave Greenville.

Yes, the Moosehead Lake region is one of the best places in New England to see moose, and for many visitors it is the highlight of the trip. The animals are most active and visible at dawn and dusk along the bogs, ponds and quiet roadsides north of Greenville, and local outfitters run guided moose safaris by van or boat if you want expert help finding them. A sunrise paddle on a still cove can also put you near feeding moose. Always keep a safe distance, never approach them, and drive carefully at dawn, dusk and night, since moose on the road are a genuine hazard.

There are some, but plan carefully in this remote area. Lily Bay State Park holds some first-come, first-served sites midweek and in the shoulder seasons, which is your best bet for a non-reserved spot. Beyond the developed campgrounds, the North Maine Woods has primitive and dispersed sites on the commercial forest lands, but access is via gated logging roads with fees and checkpoints that are not RV-friendly, so those suit tents and small vehicles, not big rigs. For most RVers, the realistic plan is a reservation at Lily Bay or a private park, booked ahead for the short summer and fall season.

Generally yes. The private RV parks around Greenville are pet-friendly with leash rules, and dogs are welcome at Lily Bay State Park in the campground and on the trails, kept on leash, which is more permissive than the national parks. Keep pets leashed, clean up after them, and never leave them unattended, given the genuine wildlife presence, including moose and bears, in this North Woods setting. The lake and shoreline trails make it good dog country. Confirm any specific pet policy with a private park when you book, particularly if you are traveling with more than one animal.
