About This Location
The road in is Paved. There are 1-5 campsites at this location. You may stay overnight at Chase Mills Rd. Boat Ramp (Machias, ME). Sadly there is a shiny new No Overnight Parking sign on the side with the boat ramp. The opposite shore is not posted.
I guess one could camp on that side and claim plausible deniability as the sign is pretty well hidden, but is present. There are some businesses and residents near by, so if you do try this spot out, get here late and leave early.
A lovely stop a short drive out of the town of Machais at the Hwy 1 and Hwy 191 junction. There are two options for parking your rig. Smaller vans and trucks could easily park on the boat ramp (River) side. Bigger rigs would for better on the other side of the road near the vault toilets.
There is room for two larger rigs on this side of the park. An added bonus to parking away from the boat ramp is another river that splashes over the rocks, making it very tempting to do your toes in the river hiding in the bushes behind the parking area. There is no signage forbidding overnight parking. We stayed without any interference. However, I would not recommend this as a tent camping area.
