About
Rangeley Lake State Park, in Maine's Western Mountains lake district, offers well-spaced campsites among spruce and fir on Rangeley Lake. Its own current campground map (Rev. 04/25/2025) shows 50 real numbered campsites (independently cross-confirmed by Mount Blue State Park's own "Nearby Attractions" text, which separately states "50 campsites"), of which 3 (sites 8, 22, 24) carry electric & water hookups, per the park's own campground map. Three of the wooded sites double as group campsites (tent camping only, up to 35 campers each). Open seasonally, May 1 to October 15.
