Pownal, ME to East Orland, ME

We left Blueberry Pond Campground this morning about 10:45. We took I-295 north and got off at Exit 28 to get on to US-1. We took that route instead of driving into Freeport to get on US-1 - that way we avoided driving through tourist traffic in town. We stayed on US-1 for the 118 mile drive up here to Balsam Cove Campground. The campground is about 1 1/2 miles off US-1 down a dirt road.

We arrived at Balsam Cove Campground around 1:30 and was assigned site #1 - gravel pull-through site that was extremely unlevel. Mike took a ruler and took photos to show how high off the ground our front wheels would be if we stayed at that site. Mike showed the owner the photos and he took Mike around the campground in a golf cart to find another site.

From Maine

We're now on site #29 (we were set up here by 3 p.m.) which is pretty level. It's a back-in site with full hookups (30 amp) and wifi. Balsam Cove is a Passport America campground.



The only negative we have about our location is we have no cell phone service out here. We'll have to go into Ellsworth which is about 12 miles from here.
