That's the difference between Maine in the summer months versus September, which is when we usually go Down East. But for the last site, number 41, it was a fairly good one, large enough and fairly level. The shoreline is just down around the corner to the right of the rig.

We chose site 58 for its fantastic view of the water to the west. A great spot to watch the sun set. This was a great site, but it has quite a slope sideways and took a fair amount of leveling. The campground is designed generally for tenters and small RV's.

If you really enjoy the sun, sites 30 and 32 are quite open.

Site 23 is one of the more typical shaded sites.

Here are sites 41 and 42. — Here are sites 41 and 42. You can see the water down through the trees.

Site 62 is fairly close to the water.

The view from in front of sites 57-61.

Near the center of the campground is modern, clean bathhouse with free hot showers.

We walked the one-mile Loop Trail, which meanders through the woods down to the shoreline.

The office will even loan you a large pot for boiling them.

Boats moored out in front of our site.

We were a tad early, but fall colors were starting to appear during our 2007 trip.

What a great sunset! — What a great sunset! Shortly thereafter we could see the headlights of cars coming down Cadillac Mt.

I've always been a sucker for sunsets.
