3 Nights, 3 Sites - Maine Overlanding

- In this video Ali and I take Ranger and Trooper back to Dennistown just north of Jackman Maine. We spent 3 nights camping out along some incredible scenery. The best part about this trip was it was totally not what we planned. We initially wanted to camp at sites that were taken and had to make alternate plans. It just goes to show you that sometimes no plan is the best plan.

I love that people are doing this in Maine, spreading awareness for the type of activities we have available!
So much to do in Maine. People don’t realize it.
Moose, loons, and any kind of wildlife definitely makes the trip worth it... I love days with no agenda when you can just appreciate your surroundings. We started just sitting somewhere and doing a watercolor in every National Park we visit. Got a book ¼ filled already. Thanks!
That's a great idea! We're gonna have to do something like that. We often keep a journal and write some things down in it about the places we go, but I like the watercolor idea!
Amazing footage, Zach! We live here and haven't seen the aerial shots like you took! Thank you for sharing your adventure with us!!! Aunt Deb and Uncle Clayton
Great video, guys. My wife and I are talking about getting started in overlanding. Will be looking at all your videos.
That's awesome! Thank you for the support. Maybe I'll put together an overlanding basics video if thats of some interest?
Great video!!! Looking forward to doing some exploring in Maine soon!!!
Thank you!
Really well done Zach! Some epic sites….I like that black grill grate..have the same one and it’s probably one of my most used items on trips!
We just picked up a solo stove so we’re anxious to cook over that too.
Great video. It’s on my bucket list to visit Maine other than old orchard and surrounding areas and visit north Maine woods.
It’s gorgeous up north. Lots to explore and absolute solitude!
Good content and such beautiful places you do a great job keep up the good work!!!
Thanks man!
I live in central Maine, hoping to pick up a 4runner on Saturday to build an overland rig out of for me and my son. Glad I found your channel so I can start finding some good overland spots in Maine
That’s awesome! There’s plenty of amazing places in Maine. Best of luck to you and your family.
Dennistown is on my radar for 24
After watching Casy at Coyote Works for a few years, I decided to see what the overlanding scene was like here at home and THIs was the first hit. WOW! We might be a bit long in the tooth, but this is SO doable for us. We gotta get out there next summer.
SUBBED ya too, btw.
Thank you so much! Safe travels! There are so many places in Maine to explore.
Beautiful state. Cant wait to retire to come visit
Go in the fall, you’ll love the foliage.
You know you look a lot like that kid in “ The Big Lebowski “, all grown up?
“ is this your homework, Larry?”
Hahahaha! Oh man, that's a first! Thanks for watching!
Real nice! Uncle Past.
Sabattus here. Very nice footage
Thanks! We’re not far from each other. I live in Lisbon for the time being.
Camp coffee...plug the Mr Coffee into the inverter...
Just doesn't taste the same ;)
Man I’ve watched this video 3 times trying to figure out where your 1st camping spot was I’m trying to plan a trip for when the snows gone think you could spill the beans and send me the location lol
Shoot me an email. PSOverland@gmail.com
Sandy Stream...that looks great. I'm currently looking to buy a piece of land that has a stream running through it. It's not easy to find, especially land that is affordable.
That sounds nice!
I can't wait to get out on the trails this summer. New to overlanding and soon to be a dog dad again. Where do you furry friends sleep?
Sounds like spring is just around the corner! They sleep in the truck. In the Tacoma I had built a platform for them, in the Ford, there's enough room with the seats up in the back for their beds.
Hey! Awesome video. Where is the first site? I’ve been around the east outlet but don’t know of this spot. Looks beautiful.
The first spot was down Indian Pond Rd. One of the side roads that connects to it led to a large pond. Not sure the same of it though but definitely past Indian Pond.
How do you find where these camp sites are? Also do you have to reserve them at some town office? Or is it first come first served? I have been wanting to take my wife over landing for a while now. And I just got a Jeep Liberty KJ Renegade to fix up for some light to moderate off-road over landing in Maine. Ty for the video!
The best thing you can do is get yourself a Maine Gazetteer. I've found more sites that way than any other. Google Earth is a great resource because I found the resolution is higher in the satellite images and you can often follow forest roads easier and find sites that way. I also offer GPX files to my Patron's and have a few throughout Maine published. Safe travels and thanks for watching!

Thank you so much!
Hey guys! Great video and cinematic shots. Got you a new subscriber here! We found you while researching for a trip to Maine that we are doing in June. I will send you an email to see if you can share any of those area's with us also.
Thank you so much! It means a lot! Feel free to email me if you need anything!
Great video guys, what kind of wood did you use for the drawer system? Best regards
Thanks for watching Nicola! I used regular builders plywood for the box, birch for the drawers and the drawers are framed in walnut. It helps when your girlfriends father is a master wood worker and has some spare materials lying around.
Really great camera work and drone footage I wouldn’t expect from a small channel! Do you have editing experience elsewhere? Got a subscription from me!
Thanks a lot, that means a ton! I’m self taught. Lots of hours figuring out editing software and lots of videos/pictures taken. Always learning new things! Thanks for the sub!
This is awesome! Is this your new adventure?
A piece of it. More to come in the next few months but this is what we love to do!
Just came across your channel. Been living up here for about 4 years now. You guys seemed pretty comfortable. Any issues with ticks and other bloodsuckers?
No issues this time. We’re pretty vigilant about tick checks and making sure we stay from the tall grass during peak season.
Hey would you share these cords? And I heard you mentioned Harpswell was a good place to check out? I have a young one and I wanna kinda know where I’m going so thank you in advance if you wanna share the spots with a fan from NH.
Sure thing! Shoot me an email with which sites you'd like coordinates to and I'll send them your way. PSOverland@gmail.com
Really great video. Just moved to Maine from Utah. Heading out that way tomorrow. Hope to find some nice sites to enjoy like these shown. If there was a way you could share some good locations that would be great. Very accustomed to public lands in Utah so this is going to take some getting used to.
Hey thanks for watching! I’d love to show you some spots. Email me at psoverland@gmail.com and I can share some stuff with you.
@@PineStateOverland done! Thanks in advance
How to get to that beautiful spot
A lot of back road driving, Google Earth, and a fair amount of luck.
I’ve been camping along the Saint johns river. But that sot looks amazing.
What type of land was this? The dennistown sandy river area doesn't appear to show up in the north Maine woods maps. Or is it just a local thing where you find a way down and camp there? I'm in MA but I hunt east of there and always looking to explore more.
The land belongs to the logging companies where we camped. More or less a local gem but can be easily found by exploring the logging roads. That's all we typically do is drive until we find something nice that's campable.
Looking into doing more mMaine spots next year, can you make som recommendations?
Definitely check out Greenville, Jackman, Harpswell, or for more of a secluded experience check out the Northern Maine Woods.
That looks awesome, any way you could share your camp locations?
I’ve been asked by a few for the GPX files. I don’t mind sending them but have been swamped lately and haven’t had the time to do it. If you shoot me an email at psoverland@gmail.com, I’ll add you to the email I have yet to send.
Was that little Indian pond? I remember that spot as a kid.
It was! Good eye! Followed by Sandy Stream and Holeb Pond.
How do you find these places?
Lots of maps, OnX Offroad, as well as Google Earth and just getting out there exploring.
I get that these are first come first serve, but is there a place to register or pay in that area or are these some of the free sites the state offers? I would love to camp on that stone area by the stream, but not sure if I can drag my teardrop back up without winching lol. We will be hitting that area probably next weekend. Thanks for sharing
I think you would be hard pressed to get a trailer down that hill without having to pull yourself back up. The site was free as most are throughout northern Maine. Once you enter the Northern Maine Woods though you will need to register and pay for a pass.
Yeah we love the north woods, but at $100 bucks a week basically, we save that for fall. I would lost definitely have to winch back up that hill for sure. Thanks again for the reply, and Shari your journey
@@PineStateOverland yeah, definitely be a chore to get up that hill with my trailer. As far as the north woods…. Yeah we head in there quite often for exploring trips. We will probably try to do as much fall camping as we can there. Found a really great site about 20 min from Lincoln on middle oxhead if you’re ever around that area.
Do you have any maps of the trail you took?
I have GPX files that I upload to my Patreon account of the sites we go to. If you're interested, here is the link. Thanks for watching! www.patreon.com/psoverland
how did you make reservation for the campsites in video ?
That’s the great thing about where we go, there’s no need for reservations. Most places are first come first served so make sure you have a backup site in case your first choice is taken.
Can you tell me how to get to that site?
I provide GPX files to my Patrons. If you’re interested in all the places we’ve gone, consider becoming a Patron! www.patreon.com/psoverland
I’m from Maine. Want to go adventure?
I'd love to although we just recently moved to Arizona so we won't be back home for a while.
