The remote Northern Maine wilderness is the premier destination spot for hunting.
The expansive heavy cover provides the perfect environment for wild game to reach full maturity. That means record-breaking racks and trophy-winning body weights.
From guided hunting tours, canoe trips, fly fishing lessons, scenic plane rides, homestyle cooking, campfires along the water’s edge, and more, the sporting camps in the Crown of Maine offer everything you need for a successful hunting trip or rustic getaway.
Where to stay?
There are an array of options to consider when selecting your ideal sporting camp. Some prefer privacy and solitude, while others seek a communal experience with a shared mess hall.
Whether you are hunting for wild turkey, whitetail deer, Canadian geese or you’ve won a spot in the moose lottery, you will want to make sure the sporting camp you choose will be the right location for your hunt.
