Maine By The Mile

It's home to Maine's shortest covered bridge, so no need to worry about a lack of Instagrammable moments.

1. Camp Winona has no running water — bring your own or you'll be washing dishes with rainwater.

2. Speaking of no running water, there's also a composting toilet in an outhouse at Camp Winona — embrace it or not.

3. There's only one place to buy gas in Andover, and the closest adequately-sized grocery store is a half-hour away in Rumford — plan accordingly.

4. Camp Winona has no electricity — there are few propane lights, but you'll need to pack portable charges.

5. Devil's Den is an excellent destination, but it isn't well advertised — don't be afraid to ask for directions if unsure.
