Aroostook State Park

Aroostook State Park, Maine's first state park (established 1939), sits on Echo Lake south of Presque Isle at the foot of Quaggy Jo Mountain. Its campground has 30 numbered campsites plus a walk-in small group site; the published fee schedule confirms some sites carry electric & water hookups, though the exact per-site count isn't available. No RV dump station exists at this park (a permanent exception, not a temporary outage). SEASONAL NOTE (as of August 2026): the park's own live page states the campground is currently limited to primitive camping - hot water may be limited, drinking water is unavailable pending ongoing water testing (bring your own), and RV dump station work is a separate, ongoing infrastructure upgrade.
