Reversing Falls Park

There is a sign at the road that says day use only/no camping allowed. But, it’s a really secluded area and there’s no ranger/police on patrol. We stayed here quite a few nights with no problem. There were some locals who came to the area every day, and someone told us one guy previously called the police on someone who stayed the night before, so it is possible that you’ll get kicked out.

Beautiful area on the water. We saw some bald eagles. A couple picnic tables and trash bins are all the amenities. No toilets or fire pits. Verizon LTE signal was full bars and VERY fast. Lots of open space for activities.

Overall, it’s a nice place to stay for a few nights if you don’t mind risking it/stealth camping. Definitely not ideal for tent camping or RVs.

Arrived July 3, 2019 and left July 5, 2019. We boondocked here in our 28 foot 5th wheel. We parked at the bottom of the gravel road closest to the “falls”. It was an awesome place to stay. If you like to hear water and birds this is the spot. There were people that came to view the falls all day but by dark there was complete silence. There were a lot of mosquitos, but it’s coastal Maine. There are no conveniences other then a garbage can and no real designated camping sites. Just park and camp. There were no signs saying you couldn’t camp.

It feels like the area is in the middle of nowhere and has a gravel dirt road leading towards it but hey it's Maine and fits the camping profile. The sites are not listed but plenty of space to choose from and some had fire rings and trash cans around the area. We camped at the top of the hill and had a fantastic view of the area. There are some hiking trails around and not far from other state parks.

I have a 39' class A with toad, my friend has a 34' with toad. We were here first week in August. If you like seclusion, hikes in woods and a beautiful River in your front yard, this is for you. There is a big gravel turnaround, I parked on the lawn under big trees for shade. It is a public park. Way off the beaten path, I'm guessing about 6 miles out of town, 4 miles of that on a dirt/ gravel well maintained road. The only signs are hand made with an arrow points Falls, pretty easy to miss. I spoke with the city parks before coming and they were very pleasant.
