Matagamon Wilderness Campground & Lodging

Welcome to Matagamon Wilderness Campground & Lodging. Matagamon is owned and operated by the Christianson family (and their dogs). While offering one of the widest varieties of services and amenities of any campground in Katahdin, It is also a truly wilderness campground, perfect for getting unplugged and away from the busy areas of Katahdin.
