Just wanted to let you all know about a nice stop on the trans-canada hiway. its at a place called "Northern Outdoors". No water or sewer, but they have 6 sites wtih 30amp, right in the Kennebec river. They also offer some REALLY fun white-water rafting. When we first wen,t we just went to go motorcycling, but ened up trying out the rafting. It was a blast. I have a reall bed lower leg, but after some asurances, I had a blast. We rafted 3 more times over the last summer.
Even nicer, they have a brewery attached to the main building. The RV campground area is about 1/2 mile from the main lodge/bar/brewery. They do have a bathhouse across the street, where you can fill up on water, but no sewer dumps nearby. The camping area does have some outhouses though.
The area is definitly a great place to stop with good scenery, and if you have a four-wheel drive, and especially ATV you will have great fun. There is also quite good fishin in the area, some say its one of the 'unknown' places of great fishing.
You can also Kyak/tube the lower part of the river for a nice rlaxing day that can end right at your campground.
Stay away during the month of June. The black flies are horendous. Rather the after-effect, because they are much like no-see-ums. you only know you were bit when you get a rather disgusting ozzing bump. I had scores of them from Last June, but it was worth it. We went right as the butterfly/moths were mating. Hundreds of them in a 1x1 yard area that would suddenly fly up, kind of like a fairy tail movie.
Anyway, the campground is pretty sparse with only electric, but the location more than makes up for it. We stayed in my 40' 1973 Steel horse trailer that iconverted to have full livng space in addition to hauling real/Iron horses.

sounds lovely, i love white water--and a brewery on site can't get much better! i'm interested in your rig---have you got pictures? someday i hope to bring my horse out west for a winter of boonedocking and riding. i assume i'll want a super c with a bumper pull, but love looking at all the creative set ups people have.
