Big Wilson Camp and its accompanying waterfall and swimming hole (red & sky blue markers, respectively) are surrounded by scenic wonders like Borestone Mountain (purple), Little Wilson Falls (yellow), Tobey Falls (dark blue), Lake Onawa (lime green) & Barren Mountain (pink). The purple line depicts the Appalachian Trail's most remote and notoriously difficult section, through Maine's '100-Mile Wilderness', which stretches from a trailhead in Monson to the state's tallest peak, Mount Katahdin, without crossing a paved road.
Fall & Winter Seasons ...
It's an old Maine saying: "If you can't take the winters, you don't deserve the summers." But the rewards come all year around for guests of this cozy North Woods retreat at the fringes of Maine's "100-Mile Wilderness". Its unique location along a picturesque stretch of Big Wilson Stream - in an area crisscrossed by trail systems for snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and hiking - makes it a Mecca for outdoor enthusiasts no matter the season.
One need only step out the door for a fall foliage hike or winter snowshoe trek to Little Wilson Falls - one of the region's lesser-known but most spectacular scenic landmarks, only a vigorous morning's hike away on the Appalachian Trail. Also nearby are the breathtaking views from atop the 2,000-foot twin peaks of the Borestone Mountain nature preserve, offering up a 360-degree panorama stretching from Sebec Lake to Squaw Mountain and beyond. If groomed cross-country trails are more to your liking, you're just a five-minute ride up Elliotsville Road from A Fierce Chase, one of Maine's premier trail systems, where rentals and lessons are also available.
For the snowmobile enthusiast, a network of trails maintained by the E-Ville (Elliotsville) Riders Snowmobile Club are in close proximity to Big Wilson Camp, with access to ITS110 to the north. Also, the Narrow Gauge Riders snowmobile club, based in Monson, provide access to ITS85 to the west.
When you're done "roughing it" for the day, come home to the warm embrace of a solidly built and comfortably outfitted log home with all the charm and appeal of the land it inhabits. It boasts a country kitchen / great room with a hearth & wood stove, soaring ceilings, and 180-degree views of the gently sloping north woods. By night, snuggle down into one of the two main-floor bedrooms, or the sleeping loft. Even with the windows shut up tight for the winter, you'll be lulled to sleep by the ever-present song of rushing whitewater. With 25 acres of elbow room and 2,500 feet of river frontage, it'll feel like you have the North Woods all to yourselves. The cabin sleeps 6-8 guests comfortably.
For an occasional fix of north woods hospitality or to restock your provisions, there are eateries and camp stores in nearby Monson (8 miles, via winding Elliotsville Road) and Greenville (15 miles north of Monson on Route 6/15). Keep an eye out along the way, especially passing by boggy areas. You are in Moose Country!

Big Wilson Camp Welcome ...
Let the music of rushing whitewater and the solitude of Maine's 100-Mile Wilderness lull you into a week-long daydream in this cozy housekeeping cabin on the banks of picturesque Big Wilson Stream. Your very own 2,500-foot stretch of river tumbles over 
a stepped waterfall, ambles in a deep pool fit for a summertime swim, and carves its way through a field of polished slate.
Nestled into 25 acres of stately dogwood, spruce, poplar and maple, this north woods retreat offers a gallery-perfect setting for your family vacation, accommodating 6-8 guests comfortably. A private picnic area, complete with picnic table, pole-mounted
charcoal barbecue, fire ring, and Adirondack chairs, lends a park-like atmosphere to your outings, without having to venture further than your own back yard.
The adventurous among you can make daily treks to Borestone Mountain, Little Wilson Stream's upper and lower falls, and Big Wilson Cliffs, all within 2.5 miles of home base. You'll cross paths with Appalachian Trail hikers coming down from Mount Katahdin
and through the Gulf Hagas, Maine's answer to the Grand Canyon. Little Greenwood Pond and larger Lake Onawa beckon to the east, with miles of wilderness shoreline to explore by boat. Or, commune with the river itself, paddling or packing to nearby landmarks like Tobey Falls, Salmon Hole, and the suspension bridge underpass in Willimantic.
Back at camp, barbecue your meals on the oversized deck, overlooking the river, or retire indoors to a country kitchen / great room with a hearth & wood stove, soaring ceilings, and 180-degree views of the gently sloping north woods. By night, snuggle down into one of the two main-floor bedrooms, or the sleeping loft, and let the river sing you a lullaby, unaccompanied by the noises of civilization.
For an occasional fix of north woods hospitality or to restock your provisions, there are eateries and camp stores in nearby Monson (8 miles, via winding Elliotsville Road) and Greenville (15 miles north of Monson on Route 6/15). Keep an eye out along the way, especially passing by boggy areas. You are in Moose Country!
