Welcome to a privately owned 200+ acre haven with miles of dirt roads to explore. This land is intended for to help folks get back to the basics. Camping in Maine used to mean packing up the rig, grabbing the Maine Gazetteer and driving around until you found a vacant public campsite. Sadly, those public sites are rarely vacant anymore and you need to plan well in advance to reserve an ideal site at a state campground. Public campgrounds serve their purpose but they don't offer the backwoods camping experience that so many families enjoy. So, my family would like to introduce you to Jay Birds Way. Conveniently located at the top of Murray Street and only a couple minutes from downtown Bingham. The winding dirt roads are perfect for a bike ride or hike. Watch your dog flush a partridge or your little ones explore beautiful Jackson brook. Quiet solitude is what you will find here. There are no motorized sports allowed on this property. Sorry, but ATV access is not available. North Country Rivers is only 5 minutes away for your rafting experience or to visit Patrick's Pub. Wyman lake has a wonderful public swimming area and boat launch 15 minutes away in Pleasant Ridge and the Bingham Kennebec River boat launch is just a few minutes away. Bingham in centrally located to some of western Maine's favorite destinations such as Rangely, Sugarloaf, Flagstaff Lake, Jackman and beautiful Moosehead Lake.Little Nook is tucked away approximately a mile onto our private property and yet easily accessible with any vehicle. Beautiful Jackson Brook winds along the back of the site. Depending on the amount of rain and season, Jackson can be anywhere from fairly deep and fishable to a quiet babbling brook. There is a platform large enough for a 4 person tent and plenty of space to pitch tents elsewhere. A picnic table and firepit are provided. Bundles of wood are available for $6 if ordered in advance. The outhouse is just a short walk down the road. There are no hook ups available at this site and it is carry in/carry out. Dogs are always welcome, please just clean up after them.

Great Spot!

Great secluded site! Directions were easy to follow and had little signs along the way for Little Nook. The site is right next to a nice brook and there a nice clean outhouse a short walk down the road. There is plenty to explore around this site! Would love to go back!

The host was extremely kind. Something came up at home and we did not make it to this site. But we will be trying again in the future

“Little Nook” boasts several acres of dense woodland paradise where you will find its stream-side camp site. Easy to get to with a brief ride into town (about a mile +\-). Perfect place to escape the daily hustles and just connect with/within nature. Houston Brook Falls is quick drive away, and a sight worth seeing. (Bring your hiking boots and towel for this one.) Looking for more thrill on your time away from the daily grind? Little Nook is close to a plethora of options to keep you busy. Including white water rafting, rock climbing, hiking, tubing, and so much more. I highly reccomend Little Nook to anyone!
