Al and Patty Nugent built these camps in 1936. Since then the log cabins have all been rebuilt and a few new log cabins have been added. All camps are set up for housekeeping and are insulated to stay toasty warm on the coldest of winter days.
In keeping with the rules of the Allagash Wilderness Waterway (which is, by the way, a state park), these camps remain primitive. There is no running water in the cabins. There is, however, a shower in the back of our camp for everyone's use. There are two outside hydrants where drinkable water is available year round and there is a privy for each cabin.
Cabins range in size from 2 double beds per camp to 4 single and two double beds per camp. We also have one larger camp that can accomodate a party of up to 20 people.
All cabins have gaslights, gas refrigerators, gas cook stoves and wood stoves for heat. Each cabin is equipped with pots and pans, silverware, coffeepots, etc.
Nugent's Camps can be reached by boat or float plane in the summer, snowsled or skis in the winter.
