About
Lily Bay State Park, nine miles north of Greenville on the east shore of Moosehead Lake, Maine's largest lake, has two camping areas - Dunn Point and Rowell Cove - each with its own site-numbering block, for a combined 90 well-spaced campsites. Both areas share the same address, phone number, and booking listing, and are reached via the same interior road system from one entrance. No electric or water hookups exist at either loop.
