Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Campground

The Great Outdoors

It’s virtually impossible to rent a camper in Somerset County, Maine without visiting the famous Sugarloaf. This mountain and its surrounding area create the perfect setting for many recreational activities, all year round. You can go hiking or paddling, or let the wheels of a Segway or mountain bike guide you around, and the scenic lift rides are a must in the summertime. During the winter, there’s skiing - and lots of it. There are also zip lines (although not all through winter), and activity centers. In other words, the whole package.It’s a bit of a drive (but surely you don’t mind spending two and a half hours in your luxury RV rental), but once you arrive at Moosehead Lake, it’s definitely worth it. This gorgeous body of water is ideal for boating, swimming, and fishing - in the summer, you might spot a moose or two who also think the lake is the best place to be. There are also miles and miles of stunning trails, and if you decide to hike Mt Kineo, you’ll be met with views that are out of this world.Time to leave the mountains behind, but not the grand animal: at Moose Point State Park, you might not spot as many of them, but they’re always around. You are in Maine, after all. This park is located on the coast and has a beautiful view of Penobscot Bay, complete with hiking trails, picnic spots, and tidal pools to explore. Sit down, take a hike, or go for a scenic drive. It’s your decision - you’re the one on an RV vacation in Somerset County.
