The place

Primitive backcountry campsite along the East Branch of the Penobscot River that is only accessible by boat. Big Spring Brook is located approximately 10.7 miles south of the bridge near Matagamon Wilderness Camps. Look for a small wooden sign located at the top of the cut bank that reads Big Spring Brook Campsite. This campsite is mostly shaded and has one picnic table and one metal fire ring.
