About

Crocker Pond Campground is a secluded, intimate camping destination located in the Maine portion of White Mountain National Forest in Albany Township, Oxford County. As the smallest campground in the White Mountain National Forest with only 7 sites, it offers exceptional privacy and tranquility beneath a canopy of towering white pine trees along the shores of Crocker Pond. The campground provides access to excellent fishing opportunities on Crocker Pond, which has been reclaimed and stocked with trout. Non-motorized boat launches are available at Crocker Pond and several other nearby fishing ponds, making it ideal for kayakers, canoeists, and anglers seeking a peaceful paddling experience. The Albany Brook Trail to Round Pond begins adjacent to the campground, offering hiking opportunities through the forest. Despite its remote feel, the campground is relatively accessible via a short dirt road off the Flat Road from West Bethel. Basic amenities include potable water and restroom facilities. The campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis with no advance reservations accepted, encouraging spontaneous visits to this hidden gem in western Maine's mountains.
