Description: Chewonki's Big Eddy Campground, exquisitely nestled on the shores of the West Branch of the Penobscot River is situated in the heart of Maine's North Woods. The campground is a few miles to the west of Baxter State Park within the largest forested area in the United States. It is home of the Big Eddy, a world-famous landlocked salmon fishing pool and is surrounded by some of the most challenging whitewater rapids in the east. This beautiful section of the West Branch has delighted fishermen, canoeists, kayakers and rafters for years. We hope you'll join us for a camping trip in one of the most spectacular places in New England.
