Eight housekeeping cabins and ten campsites scattered
along the shore of remote Frost Pond, in the heart of Maine's North Woods
Your hosts, Rick and Judy Givens
Visitors to Frost Pond Camps will feel they have stepped back in time, when everyday living followed a calmer, quieter pace. The camps have been in operation for over sixty years. Our eight housekeeping cabins and ten campsites are located on the shore of Frost Pond, in the heart of Maine's North Woods. Surrounded by numerous waterways and rugged forests, the pond is thirty-five miles from Millinocket and three miles from any other habitation. The absence of modern conveniences, hassles, and hustle - no phones, no high speed traffic, no deadlines- provides for a relaxing, refreshing vacation. Guests use their time as they choose, for entertainment is strictly do-it-yourself, provided by woods and water in all directions.
WHAT WE HAVE TO OFFER:
CABINS
There are eight cabins which can accommodate from two to eight people. Our cabins are equipped with gas lights, refrigerators, and full size stoves with ovens. All cabins contain linens, and eating and cooking utensils. Water for seven cabins comes from a nearby tap, and each has a clean pit toilet. Coin operated showers are available for cabin and campsite guests. Our eighth cabin has complete indoor plumbing.
CAMPSITES
We have ten wooded campsites with tables and fireplaces directly on the pond shore. The campsites have pit toilets, tap water nearby, and plenty of isolation.
ACTIVITIES
Our North Woods are ideal for wildlife watching and photography. There are a number of opportunities locally for short hikes and day canoe trips. We are an hour
Drive from 200,000 acre Baxter State Park, with miles of hiking trails. Frost Pond offers brook trout fishing, and the nearby West Branch of the Penobscot River is world-renowned for landlocked salmon fishing. We are also open for bird and deer hunting in the fall, and for the lottery-only moose season (central zone). If you are considering a canoe trip on the Allagash or the upper West Branch of the Penobscot River, we can provide canoes, camping gear, and transportation; ask for our brochure.
TO REACH US
Drive northwest from Millinocket toward Baxter State Park, but cross over onto the Paper Company road (the West Branch Region), following our signs. There is a small toll for non-resident vehicles. (Note: bicycles are not permitted on paper company lands). Follow our signs, eventually leaving the paved road to cross Ripogenus Dam. We are three miles beyond the dam.
