Camping in "The County"
Aroostook County Campgrounds
Highlighted by a low rolling countryside, Aroostook County offers more than 2,000 lakes, streams and rivers, and plenty of opportunities for camping, hiking, biking, golfing and canoeing.
Known simply to Mainers as “The County,”, dotted with rolling farmlands that produce more than 40 million bushels of potatoes each year, the countryside is covered each July with white potato blossoms.
