Going “upta camp” is as much a part of life in Maine as bundling up on a fall day because the weather could turn at any moment! You’ll find camps on just about every lake, pond, or river and often just in a beautiful piece of forest. The only problem is that many of those with camps are forced to close them down for the season when the weather gets cold. If this burns your biscuits as much as it does ours, you’ll love that these camps offer year-round access to the beauty of the outdoors.
Located on the shores of beautiful Moosehead Lake in Maine, you'll find the remote Tomhegan Wilderness Cabins in Rockwood.
Tomhegan dates all the way back to the early 1900s when the cabins were built by Russell Spinney and his wife Blanche, along with the landowner Douglas Rollins. Back then, the only access to the camp was by water and when guests arrived, the experience was one of luxury. Three meals and helpers to make fires made this a destination that was extra-special.
Russell and Blanche had a daughter, Marjorie Spinney, who took over running the camp with her husband in 1951 when her parents died. She had a road put in, which changed the access to Tomhegan allowing more people to visit and make memories here.
A visit to Tomhegan Wildlife Camps means a relaxing time away surrounded by stunning nature as well as local wildlife that will remind you just how special Maine is year-round.
Tomhegan Wilderness Cabins can be booked all year long. Availability varies throughout the year, so it’s best to plan in advance.
