Millinocket sits just off Interstate 95, in the region of Maine known as the North Woods, between Bangor and the Canadian border. It’s a town with a rich history that dates back to the early 19th century, when the vast forests around Millinocket were used to feed the town’s paper mill, providing a steady supply of books and newspapers for New England.

However, when the mills shut down, many of the town’s best jobs did too. Thankfully, Millinocket is blessed with many opportunities for outdoor adventure. Mount Katahdin, a favorite hiking destination for Henry David Thoreau, looms over the town and attracts thousands of peak baggers each year. As such, the town has transformed from one centered around industry to one supporting conservation and the adventurous spirit of tourists; book an RV in Millinocket and you can experience this rugged landscape.

The Great Outdoors

Getting an RV rental in Millinocket will almost certainly involve some time spent at Baxter State Park, one of the most well-known state parks in the U.S. It’s the home of Mount Katahdin, the second highest peak in New England and the northern terminus of the Appalachian Trail. Katahdin can get rather crowded during the summer, so be sure to reserve your campsite or day-use parking space well in advance.

If you rent an RV in the winter months, be sure to check out the cross-country skiing course just a short drive northwest of town. There are about seven miles of track to explore with a variety of features to keep things exciting. If you’re a skate skier though, be aware that most of the trails are set up for classic-style only.

For a great day trip from Millinocket, consider visiting Acadia National Park and the charming town of Bar Harbor on Maine’s northern coast. It’s a world away from the rugged peaks around Millinocket, but you haven’t really seen Maine until you’ve experienced one of Acadia’s amazing sunsets with a lobster roll in hand. You also might enjoy renting a bicycle and riding the park’s famed carriage roads, which were built by the Rockefellers back when the area was part of their family estate. If you’re visiting around the beginning of July, be sure to stay for Bar Harbor’s Independence Day fireworks show – it’s considered one of the best displays put on by a small town.

RV Parks

Millinocket is incredibly popular with campers, so while there are some great RV parks and campgrounds nearby, they can fill up fast during the summer season. Wilderness Edge Campground on the north side of town is one of the options to consider planting the campervan rental from Millinocket, and is especially convenient for travelers looking to hike Mount Katahdin. Sites are rustic here, but the park does offer showers and a dump station. There’s also a small store selling essentials, and you can rent canoes and kayaks to use on the nearby lakes.

Another option when you choose a travel trailer rental in Millinocket is Pine Grove Campground and Cottages on the Eastern Branch of the Penobscot River. It’s just a short drive from I-95 and has full hookups for your Millinocket travel trailer rental. There’s also a dump station, convenience store, laundry facilities, and a rec room.

There’s also Katahdin Shadows Campground, just outside East Millinocket, which is also quite close to the interstate. It’s a fairly low-key campground and offers full hookups, and during the summer, the camp hosts will often organize game and movie nights for guests to enjoy. If you’re visiting northern Maine with the family, this could be a nice place to consider.

Exploring the City

Millinocket is undoubtedly centered on outdoor adventures, and there’s not as much to do in town compared to some of the communities located farther south in the state. However, Millinocket has a thriving arts community, which is on full display at a few galleries around town. Most of the works attempt to capture the beauty of Millinocket’s natural surroundings.

A little way to the south of Millinocket is the Katahdin Iron Works State Historic Site, a collection of ruins from when northern Maine was one of New England’s metalworking hubs. One of the 19th-century stone kilns is still standing, but that’s one of the only pieces of it that remains.

For shopping and dining experiences, you’ll need to drive down to Bangor, which has a great variety of options. This is primarily due to the University of Maine’s flagship campus in the adjacent town of Orono, so that’s also where you’ll find some of Maine’s best nightlife outside of Portland.
