We recently got to spend the night with my parents at Mt. Blue State Park in Maine. The campground is located about 30 minutes east of Rangley, Maine in the small town of Weld. Traveling from Southern New Hampshire it took us about three and a half hours to get there. The campground was a little difficult to find and there is very limited cell phone service in this area. If you are traveling there for the first time I recommend having a map or the specific directions.
The campsites are spacious with a nice fire pit. Only a few of them have electricity.
With it being in the middle of the COVID-19 Pandemic there were restrictions in place such as half of the bathrooms were closed and they were not having as many programs as normal.
The campground had a lot to offer. There were a few different hiking trails.
The best part about this campground is the beach and lake. The beach is open to day use. There is opportunity for swimming, kayaking, canoeing or if you have a motor boat there is a boat launch.
I enjoyed a quiet morning walk down to the beach to sit on this swing and enjoy this view before the beach filled up.
At the beach there is rental for canoes and kayaks. There is also areas for a picnic and a small playground.
The campground staff were very friendly. The campground itself was clean, quiet and had some beautiful views. I would absolutely recommend this campground or visiting the beach for the day.
